Chapter 21

Kailey's POV

I didn't turn around until I heard a big explosion behind me. That was when I noticed Cin wasn't right after me anymore. I heard a scream, and saw a body being launched. And Thomas collapsing to the ground. And then I felt it.

Every time someone I loved died, I felt a horrible pain, as result of my gift. But this time, it was twice as worse as usual. And I remembered. Cinnamon was pregnant, and her baby was a fighter. Cin's life was slowly slipping away, but her baby's wasn't. And I knew, what I had to do. I've never been able to use my gift for more but resurrecting plants, but I had to try.

I walked over to her, ignoring the pain that was eating my body inside out, ignoring the screams of people telling me not to do this. Ignoring the flames rolling out of the building. All I focused on, was Cinnamon. Thomas was with her, cradling her head in his lap.

"Thomas," I said, but he didn't hear me. "Thomas! I think I can help," I said, louder this time. I sat on the ground, and grabbed her hand. And thought of all the memories we had shared, everything we did in her life. I thought of how much I wanted her to be alive, how much I wanted her baby to be alive. I put all my energy in it, focusing all my thoughts, all my power, on bringing her, them, back.

It seemed to go on for hours, until I felt completely drained, slowly losing conscious. But I couldn't, I had to go on. She was my cousin, and I loved her. And then, suddenly, the pain was gone. She blinked, moved her hand, and I finally lost myself in the dark.

Cinnamon's POV

With a shock, I came back. I had been floating in the dark, screaming, shouting, but nothing helped. Nobody heard me, and the dark started to suffocate me. It was overwhelming, and the dark had almost won. But then I saw Kailey, and slowly she pulled me back, reminding me of all our memories, my life, everything. And then, I was back.

"Cinnamon!" Thomas pulled me in a hug, muttering something about never letting me go. I lost myself in his embrace, too happy to speak. But then, I looked around.

I saw the building being absorbed by the flames, but everyone was here, safe, surrounding me. I felt a cold hand falling from mine, and that is when I saw Kailey. By bringing me back, she used all her energy.

"Someone call 911!" I screamed. Her touch was as cold as ice, her skin as white as a ghost. I tried looking into her memories, and I saw her life playing with the speed of sound. I cried, barely noticing the ambulances that came, and picked me, and Kailey up. Thomas went with me, but I fought and cried and begged to go with Kailey, until Ric told me he was going with her, it was going to be alright.

It didn't feel alright. It felt as if I was kicked in the chest by a horse, but then times 1000. Seeing Kailey, on the edge of death, nearly drove me mad. She saved me, almost killing herself. How I could I ever live with myself if she died? She gave her life for mine. But hers was worth so much more. She was kind, and sweet, I was just a bitch.

"No, you're not. You're an amazingly caring and loving girl, and your reaction right now proves that. Cinnamon, neither of you deserve to die any more than the other. We just have to wait," Thomas said, pulling me back in his embrace, making me stop shaking.

The ambulance drove to the hospital high speed, and suddenly I felt this pain in my stomach. It was horrifying, and suddenly I knew what drove Kailey to try and safe me. Because it wasn't just me, I was carrying a little extra. And right now, that little extra wasn't doing great.

I screamed out in pain, scaring, well, almost everyone there. The driver went even faster, and we ignored every light. We'd gotten to the hospital in only five minutes, which was normally a half hour drive.

They got my stretcher inside, leaving Thomas. I shouted that I wanted him with me, but they ignored me, and started doing their tests. They gave me some sort of drug, and the world went black.

When I woke up again, I felt much better. I saw Thomas sitting in the chair next to me, and a nurse refreshing the bag of blood next to me. Wait, bag of blood?

"Why are you giving me that?" I asked the nurse, and she shot me a sympathetic look. "You lost a lot of blood on the operation table, honey. But you're alright now."

I turned to Thomas. "Operation?" He looked at me, pain filling his eyes. "After you were brought in here, they had to operate you because of the many things wrong. You were very lucky, as you had only one broken rib and further only bruised bones. But, there was something else wrong." He said, almost choking on his words.

"Thomas," I whispered, scared to look him in the eye. "I still need to tell you why I was at that pregnancy clinic," I said, louder. He played with a picture in his hand. "I think I know," He said, giving me the picture. I frowned, and looked at it. Then I gasped. It was the ultrasound, that I had in my pocket. "I wanted to tell you, but I was taken literally when I found out. I didn't have the chance," I said, tears falling down my cheeks.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm not mad, just… Scared." He said, coming to sit next to me, and hugging me. He placed a kiss on my forehead. "When you came in here, there was something wrong."

"Wrong? What do you mean, wrong?" I frowned. "Well, you, uhm, were bleeding. Down there," He said, a little awkward. "They first didn't know what it was, so they did some tests, and they found out that you were, well, pregnant," He frowned again, clearly having trouble telling this.

"So, they thought it was a miscarriage, but they're not sure. It can be a lot of things, and we've just got to wait," He said, avoiding my gaze. My eyes were quickly filling with tears at the thought of losing my baby. "I guess being blown up by a bomb isn't really good for a baby," I said, trying to lighten the mood. It didn't even make me smile, and Thomas pulled me even closer, resting his chin on my shoulder, snuggling in my hair. I sighed, and leaned to him. I breathed his scent, and I finally felt safe again.

My mind kept running, scared of the results. Kailey was still in critical condition, but they were confident she would survive. We were sitting in the waiting room, waiting for the results, to see if I did have a miscarriage. Even though I was only seventeen, I couldn't bear the thought of losing my baby. It seemed as if time was against us, so slow did the clock go forward.

"Cinnamon Marble?" A nurse came to us, and Thomas and I immediately stood up. She looked at Thomas, and I nodded. "Come with me, please." She went ahead, to a long hallway, until she was at a small room which looked like the one in the pregnancy clinic. I had spent two weeks in the hospital, and today had been my last day. Our families knew of the baby, and weren't happy at first. But, us being soulfinders and having good grades, made that they slowly accepted it.

After what happened, and because of our good school results, both Thomas and I had gotten a job offer by the FBI, just like Ric and Kailey. Kailey hadn't woken up, so she couldn't answer, but Ric had agreed, like us. We were helping Thomas' uncle Vick start a new, special Savant department. This made that we would have enough money to give our baby a good life.

"Please, lie down, so we can begin. Have you had an ultrasound before?" Another doctor asked me. "Yeah, at six weeks," I said, lying down and pulling up my shirt, while Thomas went to sit next to me. "Okay. I am doctor Jules, and I will be checking you up during this pregnancy. Because of the complications, you need to come back a lot, so we can check you."

"Wait, does this mean I didn't have a miscarriage?" I asked, my voice going up. "Yes. Your baby is completely healthy. Congratulations!" I squealed, and Thomas hugged me. Our baby was healthy!

The scan was wonderful. We made an appointment for over four weeks as well, when I was twelve weeks. When we walked back to my family, Nina ran up to me. Her glimpse of the future had been resolved: it was Thomas when he thought I died.

"Cinnamon! Cinnamon!"

"Nina! What's up?" I asked, hugging her. "It's Kailey! She's awake!" I put her down, and started running as well. Before I knew it, I was at her room, and saw her, surrounded by her parents and siblings. "Cinnamon! You're okay! I was so worried about you!" She said when she saw me.

"You were? What about me? You were out for two weeks! Promise me you never do that again, please!" I laughed through my tears, and hugged her. "I don't think I can, honestly!" She laughed as well, and I was relieved. My baby was fine, I was fine, and Kailey was as well. Everything was okay.
