Stef P.O.V

"It's been over 3 hours! Where the hell are the doctors?" I exclaim getting very frustrated.

"Stef, honey breathe. The doctors will tell us something as soon as they finish working on Jude." Lena says while she gives me the look and makes me realize we still have other kids to take care off.

Callie is currently sitting on a chair two seats away from me, while Mariana occupies the seat between us. Lena is to my left with Jesus right next to her, while Brandon is leaning on Mike next to Jesus. It's been silence except sniffles from the kids. Callie has zoned out as if she's not even here. Mariana still has tears since she arrived and same with Lena and the others. I notice someone walking up toward us, and snap my neck up.

"Doctor how is he?" I say quickly getting on my feet with Callie hot on my tail.

"Is my brother okay? Is Jude going to be okay?" Callie questions.

"May I talk to you and your partner privately?" The doctor says eyeing Callie scared he might set her off. I look toward Callie and see she really wants to know what's going on. Something is wrong though. I can feel it.

"Yes. Mike take care of them for a few minutes." He nods.

As we reach a corner of the room he begins talking.

"Jude is currently in a very critical stage right now. When he first arrived we were able to revive him. As we got him stable, we took him right into surgery because of internal bleeding and to see if the stab wound punctured anything. Unfortunately the sharp weapon went into his stomach. We have repaired it and controlled the internal bleeding. But due to severe blood loss and lack of oxygen Jude appears to in a coma. We also have inserted a breathing tube to breath for him, which is a ventilator. You guys can go see him as soon as we finish talking, but only 3 at a time, but 4 max. Do you have any questions?"

"Is he going to wake up soon?" Lena asks.

"Mrs. Adams-Fosters in his current state we hope he starts breathing on his own first. He is currently on life support." He says.

"Oh my god." The tears are forming in my eyes again. "What does it mean if he's not breathing on his own soon? He is going to breath on his own though, right?" I say.

"I'm sorry to break the bad news, but in Jude's current state it doesn't look good so far. If he doesn't start breathing on his own after 48 hours we have to consider taking him off life support."

"That would mean he won't breath on his own afterward, which means...Oh my God, Lena he can't die."

"I have to get to another patient. I'm really sorry to break the news. If you need anything just ask a nurse to page me." As he goes Lena embraces me in a hug, but I'm to numb by the doctors words. I pull back from Lena.

"Lena, how are we going to tell the others? And Callie she's going to be beyond devastated."

"I don't know, Stef. We have to be strong for them. We will get through it together."

We take each other's arms, and start walking to the others, while mentally embracing what's going to happen next.
