The 15 minutes it took to get to the hospital were the longest of Danny's life. He wanted so bad to hold Lindsay and tell her he was sorry. The only thing Danny could do was sit there and watch as the paramedic tried to revive her. Danny ran his hands through his hair over and over again his heart beating wildly in his chest.
"Come on Montana you and little Messer got to make it outta this" He was trying hard to be strong but he couldn't do it anymore. He hung his head and cried while he listened to the heart monitor flat line. "What's happening?" He felt his heart breaking
"Hold on to the bus" The paramedic told him while she charged the paddles. Danny put both hands on the roof just watching.
"Charge 200…. Clear" thankful with the first shock the heart monitor sprung to life. Lindsay was still out but at least her heart was beating. Once they were at the hospital she was taken in right away to start working on her. Danny couldn't move his legs were like Jell-O. A nurse helped him to the chairs where he could wait for the doctors to come back. He was there about 10 minutes when he seen Stella and Flack running towards him.
"Stell what are you doing here" He hadn't noticed but Lindsay's blood was all over him.
"The hospital called me Danny I was her person before she started with you and I guess she hadn't changed that yet. But what the hell happened?" Stella was trying to breathe deep and stay calm. The whole drive to the hospital Flack was telling her to just breathe.
"Mary came to the house and told her about Annabella and when I got home she was yelling at me telling me I broke my promise then she grabbed her stomach and couldn't breathe." Danny had to look away from Stella he could see the anger building already.
"YOU DIDN'T TELL HER YOU DUMBASS. YOU LET SOME RANDOM PERSON TELL HER?" Stella yelled as loud as she could.
"Stell clam down you have our baby to worry about in there." Flack tried his best to get her to sit down and breathe.
"Stella I'm know I messed up and I am so sorry." Danny had tears rolling down his face.
"Messer don't talk to me right now or you will need Jesus today." Stella put her hand up to stop Danny from talking any more.
"Danny its ok man she's gonna be ok." Flack knew the last thing his friend needed was to be yelled at so he tried his best to be there. Danny knew he was at fault and if either of them died it would be on him. He was about to close his eyes when he seen the doctor coming.
"Are you with Miss Monroe?" Danny jumped up to talk to the man.
"Yes I'm her boyfriend... Danny Messer." Danny was rubbing his hands up and down his legs wiping off his sweaty palms.
"Well then Mr. Messer. We stopped the bleeding but she lost a lot of blood." The doctor tried to give him a reassuring look.
"What caused the bleeding?" Danny was trying to slow his breathing.
"She had a cyst that bust. Usually that happens when the person is under a large amounts of stress." Danny felt his heart tighten once again. He really did cause this.
"How are they doing?" He needed to know that they were going to be ok.
"She's in a coma right now and the baby is in distress."
"A coma why a coma?" Danny could feel his legs giving way again.
"Her body went into shock from the blood loss. We have to wait and see what will happen."
"Can I see her at least?"
"Yes this way." The doctor led Danny down the hall into the room that held his world. She looked so little and broken lying in the bed tubes everywhere. He sat beside her bed and cried. He grabbed her hand and kissed it and apologized again.
"I'm so sorry baby you don't even know how sorry I am. I never meant to hurt you I just didn't wanna stress you out and now look you're in here." He could barely get the words out he was crying so much. Flack and Stella came into the room where Lindsay had been. Stella burst into tears the moment she seen her friend lying there. Stella tried her best to compose herself and walked to Lindsay bed. She put her hand on Lindsay belly and bent down to talk to her.
"Hey kiddo you listen to me ok... you have to be ok you and this baby we gotta do this together. I can't do thing without you. You have to be ok." Stella couldn't hold back anymore she put her head on Lindsay chest and cried. Seeing the people he loved most in the world in so much pain was killing Flack. Lindsay was one of his best friends it was killing him so see her like this. It was hurting even more to see Stella the way she was.
"Danny why don't me and you go and get coffee or something?" Flack was trying his best to keep his friends mind in a sane place
"No man I'm not leaving her side no matter what." Danny was standing with his arms crossed over his chest shaking his head.
"At least give me your keys so I can get you some clean clothes man." Danny handed over his keys and some money for Flack to pick him up something on the way back
"Stell Baby I'm gonna be right back ok." She could only nod her head.
"Stella I'm so sorry for this I never met for it to happen." Danny had a pleading look in his eyes that broke Stella's Heart even more
"I know Danny I'm sorry for yelling at you before." She tried her best to smile at them but they both knew it would be a while before they would smile. Danny just sat there staring at the two monitors that were hooked up to Lindsay one for her and one for the baby. He couldn't stop checking them making sure there were no major changes. Flack had brought back Danny's clothes and the thing he asked him to buy.
"Hey Montana I got you something. It's a Saint Silvia of Rome medal. She is the patron saint for pregnancy and we need all the help we can get right now." He kissed her on her forehead and put the necklace around her neck. It was time for Stella and Flack to go and leave Danny alone.
"Call me anytime day or night if anything changes." Stella told him about a hundred times before leaving
"Don't worry any change I'll call." Danny hugged Stella tight and kissed her cheek
"Hang in there man" Flack gave Danny a hug and wouldn't let go. He knew his friend was hurting and just needed a hug. Once the two had left Danny put his hand over Lindsay belly where the baby was and whispered into her ear
"Take the very breath you gave me Take the heart from my chest I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me Make this my last request Take me out of this world God, please don't take the girl" As he was saying this to her he could feel the tears in his eyes again. He would gladly take her place right now if it meant Lindsay and the baby lived.
