CATASTROPHE & THE CURE
CHAPTER 14:
~:~
"No, no, no, no, no," Emily repeated over and over again pressing her hands down on the bleeding wound, both of them shaking restlessly. Despite all of the noise and fuss happening around the room her ears were numb and all she could feel was Alison's pulse growing weaker under her fingers. Morgan kneeled down beside her as they took a screaming Maya out of the nursery.
"E-Em.." Alison gasped as she felt the frigid taste of blood on her mouth "Sa-am"
Emily looked up realizing her son had slipped her mind, letting out a sigh of relief when she saw JJ holding Sam "He's okay"
"You have to pr-promise m-e-" Alison coughed before she placed her hand on her chest right on top of Emily's "you'll take ca-are of him"
"No! Don't you dare talk like that!...Do you hear me? You're going to be fine." Emily choked out as tears flooded her eyes and panic flooded her veins. Alison was fading so fast, almost all colour had drained from her face. "P-promise me." the blonde managed to whisper. Emily nodded silently applying even more pressure to the wound as if it would help keep her wife in this moment with her...the land of the living. "...Don't leave me Ali, I need you. Sam needs you."

Hours had passed and Alison was still in surgery. Emily sat with Morgan in the waiting area while a few other police officers were discussing how something like this could have happened with one of their own guarding her.
"Where was Officer Billings? He was supposed to be stationed outside their house. I don't understand it...has anyone heard from him or know of his whereabouts?" she heard one of them say.
"It sure is rather odd." another agreed. Anger boiled inside Emily. Her wife's life was hanging in the balance at this moment and all they were doing were standing around with coffee in their hands gossiping about the whereabouts of the guy who should have been on site to protect her family.
"I don't care where the hell he is! Just find the bastard! If my wife dies I swear to god he will pay." she shouted angrily as she approached the group.
"Em calm down, You have to stay strong for Ali." Morgan said placing an arm around her shoulders guiding her back to her seat.
"I can't lose her Morgan. I can't raise Peanut alone." she confessed.
"You won't have to. Ali's a fighter you know that." he replied not all that confidently. He was scared that one of his best friends was going to lose the one person who had always been there for her. A few minutes later a doctor came out ready to give them another update on how Alison's surgery was going.
"How is she?" Emily asked concerned
"She's doing well considering. We've managed to stop the bleeding and removed the bullet it just missed her heart. She's lucky to be alive."
"So she's going to be okay?"
"It's still too early to say but yes it looks as though she will make a full recovery." the doctor said and Emily let out a sigh of relief, a relief that was quickly washed over her when she heard a man's voice talking to Reid.
"Look Billings I don't think you should be here" Reid tried to whisper.
"I have to explain what happened,"
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Emily barked in his direction.
"Emily I'm so so sorry for what happened-"
"You're sorry?!" Emily screamed pushing him against the wall "You're sorry?! My wife got shot and you're sorry?!"
"I got a text telling me to go home or my family would be hurt"
"Wait a minute. What text?" Reid asked looking confused. Billings pulled his phone from his pocket opening to the text.
"So you let my family take the fall instead?" Emily snapped "Did you know I have a five week old baby at my house? That you left and put a five week old's life on the line?"
"Em I'm sorry...I panicked. I didn't know what else to do."
"You call for back up that's what you do?" Emily stated. Billings hung his head "I know that now. Is there anything I can do?". The brunette seemed to be thinking over his words when suddenly she swung a fist out in front of him, hitting him square in the jaw.
"You could do your job" Emily snapped "If anything happens to my wife is on you, you hear me? Her blood is on your hands!" JJ came up from behind and grabbed Emily's shoulder.
"I think he's hungry, you should take him to the nurses station I'm sure they have some formula there for him." she said gently bouncing an unsettled Sam in her arms.
"Yeah" Emily said taking her son back into her arms "I don't think Ali would want him to stay here though. I should call someone" she added rocking the baby slightly.
"Next time...call for back-up.!" Morgan whispered to Billings when Emily was out of earshot. Emily wandered off with her son in the direction of the nurses station when she almost collided with Alison's dad.
"Emily! I just heard is she alright? Please tell me she's alright?" Kenneth urged
"She's still in surgery right now but she's going to fine. I'm just going to take Sam to feed him, everyone's in the waiting room down the hall,"
"Emily I might be overstepping but is the hospital really a good place for a newborn?"
"I'm not sure I know what you mean but Sam is perfectly ok being here. He was born here after all."
"Come on buddy, let's get you something to eat then hopefully we can see how mommy's doing when they get her settled in recovery." Sam squirmed in her arms "She's going to be okay don't worry"
I"s there anything I can help you with?" A blonde nurse asked when Emily reached the nurses' station.
"Hi, umh I was wondering if there was anyway I could get some baby formula?" Emily inquired "My wife is in surgery and I don't have any milk, and he's hungry"
"Emily? What are you doing here? Did Sam have an appointment with me today?" Came a voice from behind her
"Arizona it's so good to see you," Emily greeted hugging the blonde with one arm. "It's a long story but you wouldn't have any formula down in PEDS would you?"
"Of course, how is this little guy doing?" she asked tickling Sam's belly and making eyes at him. Sam smiled blowing a raspberry. "He's getting so big,"
"Yeah, he's great,"
"Come on, let's go for his dinner" Arizona smiled "Why are you here anyway?"
"There was an accident with Ali" Emily sighed "She was shot"
"Oh my god, She's ok though right?"
Emily smiled "She's tough. She's the strongest person I know." As they made their way down the corridors they continued chatting.
"She is Emily" Dr. Robbins assured "She's been through so much and she's always pulled through, and that's because of you".
"I can't take all the credit. She's the most amazing person & sometimes I can't believe she's all mine." Emily smiled as Dr. Robbins handed her a baby bottle full of milk.
"Thanks" Emily sighed taking it before another doctor came through the door.
"Mrs. Fields?"
"That's me" Emily turned around to find the younger doctor standing in his scrubs a splatter of blood on his chest. "What is it? Is everything okay?"
"Your wife is fine she's down in recovery right now if you want to see her"
"Yes please."
"She's still unconscious right now but you're welcome to sit with her until she wakes up" he advised.
"Okay thank you" Emily smiled as the doctor walked away "So I'm going to go.."
"What are you waiting for go, I'll go see how you two are doing in a little while".

"Are you liking your bottle?" Emily asked staring down at the little boy who was sucking furiously out of the bottle. Emily was grateful that Sam seemed to be unphased by the events of the day as he continued feeding until the bottle was empty. "You know peanut, if it wasn't for your mommy you wouldn't be here. She brought you into this world and loves you so much. So do I-"
just then a nurse walked into the room "Hello I'm Susan, I'm your wife's nurse" she informed
"Hi, I don't have to leave do I?"
"No you don't" Susan assured "but it is getting close to visiting hours being over & I think your little one there would benefit from a good night's sleep."
"I don't want to leave her" Emily sighed as she began to burp her son. The nurse placed a kind hand on her shoulder,
"If there's any change we will call you. She's just sleeping now." Emily looked over at her wife, her blonde hair spread out on the pillow, her chest slowly rising and falling with each new breath. "Alright but i'm going to have two officers stand watch outside her door all night."
"If you think that necessary then ok, but our hospital security is very good," Susan assured her.
"I just want her to be okay" Emily sighed before her son started to cry once more "sh-sh-sh it's okay peanut" she tried soothing him.
"Is everything okay?" Susan inquired
"Yeah, I'm just pretty sure he misses his mommy" Emily said "You miss mommy bud?" The little boy kept crying.
"How old is he?" Susan asked walking closer to the brunette
"Five weeks. He keeps us busy but we love him for it...most of the time."
"Oh I remember having a newborn" Susan laughed "they certainly take over our lives don't they?"
"Yeah they d-"
Alison began to stir awake. "-Eh Em?"
Emily almost jumped at the sound of her wife's small voice "Hey, I'm right here, you're ok, you're in the hospital."
"Sam" Alison gasped
"He's right here, he's ok too. We're all still together Ali, Your dad's here. He wants to see you." Alison a move to sit up but failed when her surgical scar twinged in pain.
"Can you stay with me tonight?" she whispered
"Of course" Emily smiled "just stay put you just had surgery"
"I'll organise an orderly to bring a cot for you to sleep on tonight then?" the nurse offered.
"Thanks,"
"Em…" Alison spoke "What about Sam? I don't know if he should be sleeping in a hospital". Emily squeezed her wife's hand sweetly.
"Don't you worry about him right now, just rest. I'll be right here when you wake up ok. Sam needs his mommy to get better so he can have a cuddle. Ok?"
"What happened to your hand?" Alison asked when she notices the bruises on her wife's knuckles.
"I punched the guy that was supposed to be looking after you. He deserved it."
Alison half smiled.
"You better not teach our son that violence is the answer," the blonde joked.
"Hey! We have to teach him to defend himself and his family." the brunette laughed.
