Sarah couldnt breath, she couldnt speak, she couldnt move. Everything hurt. What happened? Sarah could see a bleeding Pepper on the phone, tears streaming her face. Natasha wa next to Sarah placing a hand on her cheek. telling her everything would be ok. Sarah felt tears in her eyes. What about her baby? In all her mist and hurt, Sarah heard a small humming. The song was unknown to her, but the voice of the hummer sounded so fimilure. It got louder. Sarah looked at the three other women, they seemed unaffected by it. Pepper had called for help, all they could do now is wait. Sarah squeezed her eyes shut, hoping the humming would stop but it didnt. Opening her eyes she nearly went into shock. She stared directly at herself. Except she wasnt bleeding, she wasnt hurt, she was simply standing there, humming. Sarah looked to the others. Did they not see this? Did they not hear it? (Ok here is where it might get a little wierd. I saw this one night not to long ago an thought it was kind of interesting. I dont know the name of the show or anything and I didnt watch past the car accident, but I thought it would be nice in the story.)
As help arrived Sarah kept starring at herself. The humming had stopped, but she was now softly singing the words. We'll do it all..Everything..On our own. Sarah couldnt recognise the song. No one else seemed to hear it eaither. This scared don't need..AnythingOr anyone.. The medical workers, lifed Sarah onto a board, strapping her to it.
If I lay here..If I just lay here..Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Sarah began to breath quicker. Everything was happening so fast. Once in the ambulance Pepper got in with her. As well as her other self.
I don't quite know..How to say..How I feel.. Sarah head hurt. Please stop singing! She thought to herself, but it was no good.
Tony Woke up to the sound of Jarvis. "Sir, I bid you to wake up. An ergent matter had occured." Tony sat up from the couch he had passed out on. Steve andthe rest who where scatterd in various places in the living room woke as well. Tony rubbed his eyes. "What is it?" "It appears that your fiance, Miss sweet, Miss Romanoff, and Mrs. Tomson, have been in and accident. They are being located to a Hospital as we speak." Tonys eyes widened. Steve looked at Tony with wide eyes. "Lets go!" Tony said, throwing on some pants. Loki groaned at the noise. "What is going on?" But Steve and Tony were already gone. When they arrived the ambulance was just pulling up as well. Tony and Steve got out of the car and rushed to it, seeing Natasha and Kelly come out of it. "Where is Peper and Sarah?" Tony asked egarly. "They are right behind us." Kelly said pointing at the up coming ambulance. Both Tony and Steve rushed over. When the doors opened Pepper poped out. She hugged Tony when she saw him. He hugged her back. "Im glad your ok, but wheres-"Steve didnt have time to finish when he and Tony saw the men pull Sarah out. Blood covered most of her and she was shaking. "Sarah!" Both Steve and Tony shouted. They ran up to her quickly. The doctor tried to push them out of the way. "Sir we need to treat her now!" Sarah had a look of horror on her face. She grabbed on to Steves wrist. "The...th..hear..music.." Sarah tried to speak, but blood made its way to her mouth. Behind Tony and Steve, Sarah could see herself standing there still singing."Your going to be ok. You hear me? I love you, just keep breathing!"Those three words..Are said too much..They're not enough.. Steve watched as Sarah was taken from him, her hand no longer gripping his wrist. He could feel the tears form in his eyes, looking at Tony he could see he was just as upset. Tony turned to Pepper. "What happened?" She shook her head, as tears fell from her eyes. "I dont know..we were just..and then you..and then she.." Pepper began to hypervenalate. Tony brought her into a firm hug. "Its alright, everything ill be alright.
Sarah was rushed to the emergancy room where they began to operate on her head, and moditor the baby. Sarah couldnt feel anything, but they keept her awake to work on her head. Still her other self sang. If I lay here..If I just lay here..Would you lie with me... and just forget the world?..Forget what we're told..Before we get too old..Show me a garden that's bursting into life. The song brought more tears to Sarahs eyes, it wouldnt stop.Let's waste time...Chasing cars...Around our heads.. She looked up to see Tony, Natasha, Steve, Pepper, and Kelly were in the observatory, watching this happen. Normally Patcients were not allowed up there, but seeing as they were the great Avengers..the hospital must have made an exception. It was wierd. Her voice had now stopped, But Steves voice was now going. Looking up he saw him singing at her. I need your remind find my own.. What was going on? Now Natasha stood and also began to sing. "If I lay here..If I just lay here..Would you lie with me.. and just forget the world? It didnt take long for Pepper..Tony and even Kelly to begin as well.Forget what we're told..Before we get too old...Show me a garden that's bursting into life...All that I am..All that I ever was...Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see. In reality Tony, Steve and the others were atching but they were not singing, the simply looked at her with scared eyes, not only because she was in surgery, but for the horiffied look on her face.
The doctor noticed her heart rate go up, this caused a stress on the baby, who they declared was alive. The dooctors tried to calm her, but she couldnt hear them, all she could hear was the singing.I don't know whereConfused about how as wellJust know that these things will never change for us at all... Pepper bit her nails watching the doctors frantic. What was going on. The doctors had shut off the speaker so her and the others couldnt hear them, The rules could only be bent so much.
Sarahs eyes rolled at to the back of her head and she began to shake. Tony, and Steve watched i Horror as the doctors got out the paddle chargers. Clear! Boosh,Clear! Boosh! The end...
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
KIDDING!
Steve paced back and forth the patcient room. Sarah lay in bed asleep, everyone surrounded her. Natasha held one of her hands while leaning over in a chair. Pepper and Kelly Leaned against the wall silently. Tony Sat in a chair on the otherside of Sarah in thought. Finally a doctor came in to talk to them. They all looked up egarly. "Hello, Im sorry for the delay, Im Doctor Stevens" The doctor was a tall dark haired man. His features were friendly, but his voice held sympethy. "We managed to control the bleeding that Occured in your friend head, but it isnt a perminent fix, for some reason she began to go into shock before we could do anything else. Now before we go in again there are somethings we need to go over. The first thing is that if we do fix the problem, the recovery will take a good while, she will lose her basic mote skills for a few months. The place where her head was hit damaged the area, so even though she knows what she should do her brain cant respond to it yet. This will come back within a few months but its always a difficult recovery for patcients. Now as for the baby. The issu is that if we are o go back and fix the problem and something were to go wrong it puts both Sarahs and the baby's life at risk. If it were to come to that..I need to know who to save." Steve felt his heart stop. If it came to it, they would have to chose between her and the baby? Tony stood up. "Well its obiouse isnt it? We would save her." The doctor smiled. "I understand you might feel that way its just that..most people have enough of a hard time recovering from such stressfull injuries, you could imagin how much more stressfull that could be..when the life you had with you is no longer there." Tony sat down taking the idea in. Sarah would be crushed. Pepper covered her mouth to hold in the gasps. How could this happen. Pepper was no longer mad at Sarah, she stopped being mad before they were even in the accident, she knew she could never stay mad at her, even for something as hurtful as she did. "I will give you sometime to think about it." The doctor said walking out of th room slowly. They all looked at Sarah, who had no idea what was to come.
After a long hour of talking, Steve, Tony, Pepper, Kelly, and Natasha agreed on what to do. If it came down to it..if there was no choice left..if it was between Sarah and the baby, they wanted to save Sarah. The doctor walked in soon after. "Do you know?" They all nodded. "If it comes down to it, and we hope that it dosnt.. we want you to save Sarah." Steve said sadly. "That baby means the world to her, but at the end of the day she can have another one, we cant have another Sarah." The doctor nodded. Pepper looked at the doctor for a moment. "Wait, couldnt you simply take the baby out early?" Doctor Stevens licked his lips. "Yes and no, The stres of a C-section while under so much other injury could kill Sarah, if we did that we would have to move quickly, if it comes to that, we will try it but Sarah needs all the blood she can right now." Pepper nodded.
Sarah watched as her friends talked to the doctor, she could not hear them but she could see them. It was like an out of body experiance. She ould see the sadness in their eyes as they talked to the doctor. What was she to do? Sarah watched the Doctor leave and Steve run his hand threw his blond hair. Oh Steve...She looked at Tony who looked as if he were about to brake as well. She wanted to hug him, both of them. Tell them she was ok, she was fine, but it was no use. She reached out and touched Steves cheek. His face hardened and he looked directly at her. His eyes piercing her. She wondered if he could feel her, like she felt him, it seemed as if he could. The it ended, he walked right past her and into the hall. Sarah rubbed her eyes. What was she to do?
The next day Sarah was taken to surgery. Pepper had called Bruce and told him what had happened, Bruce told the others and they came as quickly as they could. They all said thier goodbyes as she was taken off to surgery. The doctors would not allow Tony or the others to view the surgery this time, they couldnt have them freaking out. Tony tried to purswayed but failed. The Avengers waited impatciently for the doctors to return, to tell them everything they needed to hear. Updates came every once in a while but soon they stopped. The avengers including Loki, sat without an update for over 2 hours. A nurse finally came out, she held very little emotion. Sarah sat and watched her friends be told the news by the nuse. She couldnt hear though. She saw tear come to their eyes, but she didnt know why. Was she dead? Was her baby dead? What? She walked up to Tony who was hugging tightly to Pepper. When he released her Sarah grabbed his hand. The tears stopped, but the emotion was the same, unreadable. Sarah couldnt tell if they were happy or sad. Then Tony smiled. Just a small, hardley noticeable smile. "Sarah." Was all he said.
