When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, the others arrived in the cars behind it. When they see Cody exit from the ambulance they can tell that something has happened with Sab.
"Cody, what's wrong you look as pale as she does?" Bea asked, reaching him first as he waited for Sab to be taken from the ambulance.
"She's going to lose the baby," Cody managed to say in his distraught frame of mind.
Frank and Elaina come up to the others as Cody goes in with Sab. "What's going on, is she ok?" Elaina asked hopeful.
"Cody said she was losing the baby," Paula managed to tell them as she broke down.
"NO! God no!" Elaina screamed. Frank held her as she broke down in tears for her friend's loss.
"Try to hold it together, Lady. She's going to need all of us," Frank said quietly standing outside as the others went in with Cody.
"We need to get Karissa and Cody's parents here," Elaina said trying to regain her composure.
"Monica is taking care of that. She's taking the van back and picking them up." Frank stroked her hair back from her face as he talked to her. "Are you going to be able to handle this?"
"Does it look like I can handle it?" Elaina said looking up at him. "What's happening to her is going to be so hard. She's going to learn that she was pregnant and lost the baby all at the same time. That's going to be devastating to her. I'll have to handle it whether I think I can or not."
"We better go in and be with the others," Frank told her. She nodded her head in agreement.

After a long time passed, Daniel came out of the emergency room. He glanced over to see Elaina and Frank walking in the hall, as he walked over to Cody and his parents. Frank and Elaina walked in to hear the news as he was telling Cody but stayed away from the family with the others.
"I hate to give people this type of news," Daniel said. "Sab is going to be ok but she won't be having the baby."
"No!" Cody screamed as his mother tried to comfort him. "That bastard killed my baby."
"Cody, I'm sorry I had to tell you. I was wondering, do you want me to tell her about the baby or do you want to?" Daniel asked him.
Cody looked to his mother for her advice. "Mom, I think I should be the one to tell her, don't you?"
"I think, she'd want to hear it from you," Carol told her son.
"I'll do it Dr. Nathan. Thank you for all you've done," Cody said turning back toward the doctor.
"I'll come back to get you when she's settled into a room." Daniel walked over to Elaina. She was softly crying on Frank's shoulder. "I'm sorry Elaina. I did all I could but it was too late to save the baby."
"I know. You're a good doctor, Daniel," Elaina said as she moved to hug him. "Have you told her yet?"
"Cody is going to tell her," Daniel stated. "I need to go back and check on her. Excuse me." Daniel went back to the emergency room.
"Damn. I didn't think he'd want to do it," Frank said. "I know it's going to be rough telling her. I hope he allows her mother and his parents to be with him."
"I'm sure he will, they need to be in there when he does," Elaina thought. "I know it would've helped you if our families had been with you, when you told me what happened."
"I'm not sure anyone or anything could've helped me." Frank held Elaina tight as they stood together. Cody came over to talk to them.
"Elaina? Are you ok?" Cody asked.
"Oh, Cody, don't worry about me. You have enough to worry about. I'm fine." Elaina forced a smile.
"I just wanted to know… if you'd…if you'd be with me… when I told Sabrina?" Cody stumbled to ask her.
"Cody, don't you think, it would be better to have just your families in there when you tell her?"
"I think she'd want you there, too. You've been there for her, whenever she needed help. She needs you more than ever, the way I look at it," Cody told her.
"I'm not sure I can hold myself together long enough, Cody. I'm sorry, I can't." Elaina walked down the hall to go outside.
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was affecting her so hard," Cody apologized.
"I'll take care of her. You just worry about Sab and yourself," Frank suggested to him.

About a half hour later, Daniel had come out to get Cody to talk to Sabrina. Cody and Karissa along with his parents went into her room together. She was still asleep as they walked in. Cody went over to sit on the edge of the bed next to her. He took her hand and kissed it. She slowly woke up looking at her surrounding wondering where she was.
"Hello, Angel," Cody brushed a curl from her face. "I have your Mom here with me, so are my mom and dad," Cody told her.
Sab tried to sit up but Cody stopped her from doing so. "Why won't you let me sit up? What happened to me?" Sab wondered.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Karissa asked.
"I was running away from Dom. Bea! Is Bea ok? Did he shoot her? I need to see Bea."
"Sab! Sab, wait she's fine," Cody told her holding her down. "She's out in the hall. I need to talk to you for a few minutes before you have more visitors," Cody said to her in a very serious tone.
"What is it, Cody?" Sab asked. She looked to her mom who was trying to keep her from seeing any tears. "Mom, are you crying. What's going on someone tell me, please?" Sab looked back to Cody.
"Angel, Daniel gave Elaina your test results after Dom took you away," Cody started to explain, "He told her you were pregnant."
"We're going to have a baby? Oh, Cody, that's wonderful news. I didn't think of that when I was feeling bad. Wow, I'm going to have a baby, Mom. You're going to be a grandmother." Sab looked at her Mom, Karissa started to cry shaking her head. "Mom? Why are you shaking your head no?"
"Angel," Cody took her hand as Elaina slipped in the room with Frank.
"Elaina. Cody told me the wonderful news I'm going to have a baby," Sab laughed.
Elaina spun around to face Frank. "I can't do this, I thought I could, but I can't," Elaina whispered to him.
"Elaina, Frank, come over here with us," Sab told them.
Elaina quickly dried her face with Frank's handkerchief, and then walked over to her bed. "I think we interrupted something important that Cody was going to say to you," Frank stated.
"Oh. You were going to say something, what was it, Cody?" Sabrina asked him.
"My sweet Angel, I really can't think of any other way to say this. I don't want to hurt you." Tears started to fall from Cody's eyes as he spoke to her. "We're…you aren't…" Cody had to stop. Cody's dad looked at Frank as if asking him to help Cody.
Frank walked over and put his hand on Cody's shoulder. "I'm here if you need me."
Cody nodded; he turned his attention back to Sab. It seemed to help him to know that Frank was willing to help. "Angel, we aren't having a baby. You miscarried." Cody figured he had to say it out right or he'd never be able to do it.
"I…I miscarried?" Sab questioned what she heard.
"Yes. Honey, you lost the baby," Karissa said hugging her as Cody stood up.
"You tell me I'm pregnant and then you tell me I miscarried? Why did you bother telling me? Why didn't you make up something? Why tell me about it?" Sab questioned them.
"Sabrina." Frank spoke to her. "You had to know about the miscarry. There was no way we couldn't."
"Babe, you'll have a few restrictions on your life for a while, from the miscarriage and you would've wondered why you have them if we hadn't told you," Elaina told her.
"It's not fair," Sab said as her mom held her. Cody broke down again as he saw Sab crying. His mother comforted him.
"The only good thing to come of this, is that bastard is finally dead," Frank said, quietly to Elaina.
A note from the authors:
I know we ended this with a rather sad ending but there was no way to make this one a happy ending. The story continues on in the next fic. The next one is a roller coaster of emotions so hang on for the ride. J
