Chapter 19
The doctor's face sagged at the mention of the baby. He drew in a long breath and then sighed. He took a minute to decide what to say, and then began.
"Well, presently your baby is still alive, but barely. It's heartbeat is growing weaker, and there isn't much we can do."
Jason almost collapsed. Their baby was dieing.
"Isn't there something you can do?" he asked quietly.
"Well.. There is one thing..," the doctor said hesitantly.
"What?" was all Jason could muster up.
"There is some medicine we could administrate to Courtney's blood flow to the womb. But since her condition is still very fragile and the sedative from the surgery is still in her blood stream, the side affects could be fatal," the doctor said sadly.
"How fatal?" Jason asked weakly.
"Well, there could be numerous amounts of complications. Courtney could have a seizure and relapse into a coma, or she could have a stroke, which could possibly kill her. The combination of medicines could also be overkill, so to speak, and actually end up killing the baby. Anything could happen, but then again, the medicine could also have no side effects and might just help the baby's heart grow stronger. It's your decision, Mr. Morgan, seeing as how your wife in unconscious," the doctor said.
Jason let out a sigh and sat down with his head in his hands.
"I'll be back shortly for you decision," the doctor said when his beeper went off.
Jason stared out into nothing. So many things had gone wrong in their first few months of marriage already. First Courtney got shot, and then she was in a coma, and the whole kidnapping fiasco, and now this. Jason wished he could take on some of this pain himself, but instead he had to sit and wait in agony. Would they ever have a chance to be happy?
The doctor's words rang in his head. Courtney and the baby BOTH could die if he said okay to the medicine, but then again everything could turn out to be alright.
He couldn't decide. It was just too much. Too chose between chances; Jason couldn't do that. His brain was telling him to give the okay on the medicine; but then again what good was his brain after the accident? His heart was telling him to wait, but his heart was unpredictable; look where it took him with Courtney.
He wondered what Courtney would do. Save her life or the baby's? Jason knew she would do anything to protect her child, and so would Jason. But maybe this one wasn't meant to be for them.
Jason shook that thought out of his head. He wanted this child as much as anything. But was he willing to risk Courtney's life?
Just then one of the monitors at the nurses' station went flat. Someone's heart wasn't beating.
The doctor ran over and took a quick glance at the screen before calling out instructions.
"We have a code blue! Code blue! CMM and baby have gone flat!" the doctor repeated before rushing off to a cubicle.
Jason thought to himself. CMM and baby? Who was that?
Then it hit him.
It was Courtney.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Ok, well do you hate me! Or do you hate me?
I know, I know. It seems as if I'm copying the story plot with Carly and Sonny back when she had hypothermia (and if you didn't already make that connection you're STUPID!!!) =)
Ok, well this was a short chapter because it is Tuesday at 10:07 p.m. and I have homework, but I thought that since you guys gave me WONDERFUL reviews, I would update!! More to come on Saturday/Sunday. CIAO!!!
