A Song For Skye
Jax tilted his head as he glanced over at Brenda, he had a look in his eyes that she had never seen before, a look of pure desperation, "Jax, what's wrong?"
"You're right" Jax admitted
Brenda giggled, "Right about what?"
"About Skye, this is all your fault, if you wouldn't have returned to Port Charles after your four year disappearing act then this would have never happened, Skye and I would be very happily married and had a great life to start together, then you showed up and fucked everything up".
"Jax, I never tried to take you away from Skye, you came to me remember?"
"You were the one who kept telling me that you wanted to be with me and that Skye would never make me happy".
"I only said those things Jax, because I thought you would stand up and defend Skye, your wife, the woman you wanted to spend the rest of your life with and what did you do, you proved me wrong, that you would always come back to me no matter what I've done, If this is anyone's fault Jax, it's yours and if I were Skye, I'd want nothing to do with you either".
"Then why did you come here tonight?"
"Because, I love Luis and I want to spend the rest of my life with him but, you've taken all that away".
"Me?" Jax paused, "Why have I taken everything away from you? You were the one who came back here and turned things upside down, you could have kept Luis and the two of you could have lived happily ever after. You ruined my marriage Brenda, just like you've always ruined everything for me".
"Well, there's not really anything we can do about that now is it? Skye has Luis and she's not going to give up without a fight, I've encountered women like Skye and she'll fight tooth and nail".
"How do you know Skye won't take me back?"
"God, Jax, don't you get it? Skye's finished with you, through, she'll never take you back, you hurt her. Did you even think about that when you walked out on her. Skye will never give you a second chance, not after you showed her that I would always be first in your book. She wants somebody to make her reign supreme not someone who see's her as second best".
"You lost, Jax. Twice" Brenda walked away from Jax and into the night air. Jax turned around and looked into the lakehouse doors, Luis had Skye in his arms and was walking towards the door. Jax opened the door, "Where are you taking her?"
"To General Hospital, she needs medical attention".
"Her Father's Doctor Alan Quartermaine, you should take her directly to him".
"Okay, why don't you do us both a favour and get out of here"
Luis laid Skye in the back seat of her car and shut the door, ignoring Jax he went around to the drivers side and got into the Mercedes, within seconds they were gone, leaving Jax standing in the dust.
Luis flew on the way to General Hospital, it was the longest ten minutes of his life, the fear of something happening to Skye was all that flooded his mind. He parked in front of the Emergency Room doors, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door behind him. Gently he got Skye out of the backseat and rushed into the hospital.
As they entered an older blonde Doctor looked up from her chart, her eyes focused on the woman in his arms. "Skye" Monica said aloud.
"You know her?" Luis asked
"Yes, she's my stepdaughter".
"Jax said that I should take her to her Father".
Monica grabbed the stretcher close to her, "Lay her on here". As Luis gently laid her down on the stretcher, Monica made demands, "Page Alan, tell him to come to the ER stat, his daughter's here".
Monica turned her attention back to Skye, "What happened?"
"She fell in the living room and hit her head on the coffee table".
Monica began to exam Skye, she placed the stethoscope in her ears and placed the bell under Skye's left breast after listening for a few seconds she pulled away, "She's bradycardiac and her breath sounds are shallow".
"What does that mean?" Luis asked
"She's unconscious". As Monica finished her sentence, Alan came rushing around the corner, "Monica what happened?"
"Skye's unconscious, I'm taking her upstairs and doing a head CT".
"I'm going with you" Luis spoke up
"That's fine but, you'll need to wait outside, you can fill Alan in on what happened".
They headed for the elevator and the next few hours from there were nothing, but pure chaos. Test after test, cultures, blood samples and through it all Skye remained unconscious. Luis looked down at his watch, it had been exactly six hours since they had arrived and in six hours nothing had changed.
Monica gently laid her hand on Luis' shoulder, "They're putting Skye in a private room now, you're welcomed to go in with her and sit".
"Thank you, Doctor Quartermaine" Luis said shaking her hand.
Monica stood and watched as Luis slowly walked towards Skye's room, stopping briefly at the door before walking inside. Then she noticed something, Luis truly cared for Skye. even more than Jax pretended. Well, maybe Jax wasn't pretending but with Luis something was different. Alan walked up behind Monica and wrapped his arms securely around her waist.
Monica relaxed against Alan's body, "She's in a coma, Alan. It was just a fall and a little bump on the head and the odds beat her".
"They always do" Alan whispered into his wife's hair.
"I know that when Skye first showed up she turned everything upside down, but it just went to prove that she fit in with our dysfunctional family." Monica turned around to face Alan.
"I wish I could have been there for her from the beginning, to raise her and give her the life that she deserved and desired. I love Skye and it hurts me to know that I've missed out on so much, but I am very proud of her, she intelligent, beautiful and tries so hard to be a kind, loving person and she really is at heart".
"I'm sure so knows all those things Alan".
"Well, when she awakes I'm going to tell her again."
Alan wrapped his arms around Monica, holding her close to him, "Alan, Skye's a fighter she'll pull right through this, she has to".
You know a man could never truly understand The beauty of a woman Until he takes part in making one I love you Skye My sunshine, you're my life, you're my life, you are
You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love everything about you You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love every little thing about you
Sitting here thinking 'bout you girl And what you mean to me And how long it took me to believe How much you really change my life, oh yeah In your eyes I can see the sunshine Girl I'm so happy you're all mine
You are the reason my sun shines Why everything seems just fine Your daddy's so proud of you And all the little things you do Sometimes I ask my God why He blessed me with you Skye Just know that you were made from love Give thanks above
You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love everything about you You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love every little thing about you
I was walking around lost for oh so long Till little lady came my way And it made me say That I love you unconditional babe Cause now I'm whole, you're in my soul All I do is think about you baby
You are the reason my sun shines Why everything seems just fine Your daddy's so proud of you And all the little things you do Sometimes I ask my God why He blessed me with you Skye Just know that you were made from love Give thanks above
You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love everything about you You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love every little thing about you
You're in my prayers every night Asking God to keep you, yeah Safe in His arms, it's alright
You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love everything about you You are my reason Girl I sing this song to you I love every little thing about you
In Skye's room, Luis sat down on the edge of her bed, he picked up her left hand with his, running his thumb across her wedding rings. "I'm so sorry Skye, I never meant for anything to happen to you, I love you and we'll make it through this, I promise".
