It's Not Suppose To Go Like This
Chapter 12
A Family Divided
Railean rolled onto her side, hoping to get the tightening in her belly to stop. It didn't help but the movement seemed to wake the baby, because she started kicking like crazy, at least when the baby kicked or moved it didn't cause her any pain. With her body being in constant pain this new pain barely registered, it was more just uncomfortable for her now.
Gordon came in but she really didn't feel like talking with him right now. He sat on the edge of the bed; she kept her back to him. "Rai I'm sorry. I didn't know that this would kill you."
Railean rolled over, "Would you have helped Meg if you had known?"
"It doesn't matter, I didn't know."
"But you do now," she propped herself up on her elbows, ignoring the stabbing in her belly. "Do you plan on doing anything about it?"
Gordon got off the bed, "It wouldn't do any good. I'm truly sorry Rai."
Gordon started to walk out the door, "Gordon! Wait!"
He paused with his hand on the door, "Rai there's nothing you can say," he turned to look at her. She had her legs over the edge of the bed, hands clutching her stomach and a puddle on the floor.
"Gordon I think the water just broke," Railean told him terrified.
Sam had been sleeping soundly when a slight squeeze of his hand woke him up. He opened his eyes to see Hazel smiling at him. "Morning beautiful," she said weakly.
Sam smiled back, giving her hand a squeeze back, "I sure hope you're talking to me." He kissed the hand he was holding. "Otherwise I would be very put out."
Hazel smiled at the reference. It had been the first thing they had said to each other the morning after sleeping together. She let her eyes wonder, "Where's Max?" Right then the door opened and both Max and Annie entered.
"Hazel, you're awake."
Hazel would have answered but Annie chose that moment to lick her face and she was having a hard time talking with doggie tongue on her face. "Annie, get down you mangy dog." Max pulled Annie away from Hazel, and she sat on her hunches looking quit pleased with herself. Max just rolled his eyes at her, "You had better be glad that Hazel loves you so much, you mutt." He sat on the edge of the bed and took her other hand.
She smiled at them both, "God it's good to be back." She deliberately left the subject of her baby alone. She didn't know if they knew what had happened. She relaxed back into her pillows as a nurse came in.
"Alright gentlemen," she told them pulling the curtain surrounding Hazel's bed. "I need you to step out so I can examine her."
Sam kissed her softly on the lips, "I'll be right outside." Max gave her a light pat on the shoulders, and then they both walked out of the room.
Once outside Sam leaned against the wall and sighed. Max stood next to him, "You think she knows where your baby might be?"
Sam didn't say anything; he didn't know how to bring it up. He didn't want to make her upset but she must know she wasn't carrying their daughter any more.
He didn't have much time to contemplate the matter as his cell started ringing. He flipped it open, "Hey Dean, you find out anything?"
"We may know where she is, Sam."
Sam nearly dropped the phone, "Dude are you serious?"
"Yea, Hendrickson says they have her at an old house of Gordon's, it's in the middle of no and where. Reid's got satellite photos and were planning on heading out soon. How's Hazel doing?"
"She's awake. Swing by here and pick me up."
"Sorry Sammy but you're needed there. Does Hazel know what we think happened to the baby?"
"Not sure the nurse shooed us out to examine her." He thought about wanting to go with Dean to get their sister, but Dean was right, Hazel needed him too, besides Railean would be fine. "Alright but you call me the second you guys have her. I mean it Dean, you keep me updated."
"Yes mother," was Dean's sarcastic response. "Don't worry Sammy. I'll keep you up to date. I'll call you soon." They hung up the phone and Sam felt like he would cry.
The nurse came out of the room, "You guys can go back in now."
Max stopped her, "How is she?"
"Physically she's going to be fine, but she's going to need your support." Sam and Max smiled as the nurse held the door open for them.
Hazel was propped up on the pillows and looked more awake. "The nurse said I would be able to get out of bed and go for a walk soon." She smiled as Sam took her hand again. They sat like that for a little bit before Annie started whining.
Max stood grabbing the leash, "I'll take her out." He gave his sister a knowing look and she mouthed a silent thank you. Once Max was out Sam stood and sat gently on the edge of the bed. Hazel was having none of that, she pulled him to her and rested her head on his chest. Sam wrapped both arms around her and hugged her, gently kissing the top of her head.
After a little bit she pulled back and scooted over for him to lye beside her. She cuddled into his arms and looked up at him, "I missed you."
He kissed her mouth softly, enjoying the feeling of how well she just seemed to fit in his arms, "I'm sorry I didn't call."
Hazel shrugged, "I guess finding out you have a sister will distract any body. Besides it wasn't like I didn't have your number. I'm sorry for not calling and telling you about our baby."
Sam felt her shudder and could see her eyes started to tear up, "So you know about the baby."
Hazel nodded and rested her head on Sam's chest, "Gab told me that she's with Railean. I'm worried, Sam. When Gab was telling me about it I just got a really bad feeling about the whole thing."
Sam gave her a reassuring hug, "Dean, Kalika and Reid think they have a lead on her, she and the baby will be back with us soon."
Gordon rushed to Railean, "No, no, no. You can't go into labor yet. It's too soon."
Railean bent over gasping as another contraction hit her, "Tell that to the baby Gordon."
He looked around the room as if the answers were written on the wall and he just missed them. "But Meg said you wouldn't go into labor this soon. Railean you can't deliver here."
She only heard about half of what Gordon was telling her, the pain ripping its way through her body was blocking everything else. "Like I want to deliver here!" she finally managed to yell at him. "I want a hospital, I want doctors and I want my brothers!" There were tears falling freely and Railean didn't care what Gordon was thinking. She tried to stand up but another contraction was coming.
"Hey stop that!' Gordon told her helping her to sit back on the bed. "Look I'll go get Meg, she'll know what to do." He made to leave but Railean grabbed his arm, pulling him back down.
"I don't want that bitch in here." She clenched her teeth and closed her eyes as the worst of the contraction left. "Gordon, please. Help me." The room was spinning and she knew if she didn't lie down she would pass out. "I can't have her here."
He stood up and opened the door, "I'll be back, Rai. Just hold on a moment." He closed the door but heard her shout at him, "I Don't Have A Moment!"
He headed to the living room and picked up the phone, dialed the number Meg had left him. She picked up on the first ring. "What Gordon?"
"Meg you need to get back here. Railean's gone into labor and I'm not sure what to do." He was a little panicky but managed to hide it from his voice.
"Keep her comfortable and I'll be there as soon as I'm finished here. And Gordon, remember you want this as much as I do."
Gordon nodded and hung up the phone, "Yea but I'm not sure Rai dying is part of that," he said to himself.
Dean folded the map, "It should be coming up here shortly." He pointed to the left and the silo that was sitting there. "Turn left there. You sure there was something going on when you cheeked the satellite photo of the place?" he asked Reid.
Reid nodded, "There was some activity."
Dean nodded. He had been happy to hear that Hazel was awake now and was more then happy to let Sam stay with her while he went to get Railean. "Good."
Reid turned at the silo, "Now where to?"
"Keep going straight for four miles," Kalika told him, tucking her own gun at her back. "If we come to a red barn, then we've gone too far."
Dean followed her lead and tucked his own gun in his waistband, then grabbed the shotgun she handed him. "So is there going to be a plan or are we doing this my way?"
Kalika looked back at him as he filled the shotgun and pumped it, "I say surprise attack but I'm more then sure you're wanting to go in guns blazing."
Dean grinned at her, "You know me so well."
Reid killed the lights when he saw the ranch style house. He slowed the car and pulled it to a stop. There were no other cars and only one light on. They all got out, being careful not to slam the doors. Kalika handed Reid the other shotgun and motioned for them to split up. "Dean, you take the back," she whispered. "Reid and I'll take the front. Be careful."
Dean nodded and made his way to the back of the house. He made quick work of the locked door and breathed a sigh of relief when the door didn't squeak when he opened it. The door lead to a kitchen and Dean noticed the counter still had remnants of a prepared lunch. Creeping silently to the door, Dean peaked around it.
Gordon was hanging up the phone and it took all the control Dean had in him not to shoot the bastard right there. He took a calming breath remembering that Victor may have found away to lie to Kalika. Gordon moved off and was heading towards the front of the house. Dean took that chance to dart through a door that seemed to lead to the basement. His first concern was finding Railean.
The basement was finished and seemed to have three rooms, "Einny, minny," Dean whispered to himself. "Well, it's always that last door so why mess with tradition." He tried the last door down the hall and smiled that it was locked, "Means there's something in there he doesn't want getting out." He quietly picked the lock and opened the door. The room was nothing more then a broom closet. "Damn it!"
He looked back at the other two doors, "So much for tradition." He tried the door closest to him found it locked and moved to the next one. This one was unlocked so he went in.
