After a few hours Mercedes wheeled back into the room. Rose was asleep and Carlos had nodded off. Bosco was the only one awake when she returned. Moving to her side, he the mas kwas gone. She still had the monitor attached to her, showing a steady heartrate. She still very pale with 2 dfferant IV's and a unit of blood attached to the initial IV line. the doctor looked at him, some of her blodo stained his doctors coat.
"She went through the procedure fine. We didn't need to do the hysterectomy, fortunatly. A tear had formed along the lining of the placenta and that is why she bled out. The baby died from lack of oxygen fro mthe cord being around his neck. She should wake up soon, we had her under general anethetic, but we took her off halfway through the procedure. When her husband wakes up, please have them page me." Bosco nodded as the doctor talked.
"I will." Bosco moved to his sisters side and held her hand. She was still ghostly pale, her hair laid under her, as a soft mane that covered the pillow. He touched her cool cheek and kissed her gently.
"You're a trooper, sis. I don't know how you do it, but you manage to pull through everything you get involved in. Carlos told me why you wanted to the baby after me, but it's not necessary. You have twice the strength I do. I don't know if I could dela with half of the stuff you deal with. You survived living in our childhood hell, anorexia, fire academy, 9/11, a miscarriage, Mikey's death, a hostage situation, and now this." He squeezed her hand and felt a little pressure against his hand. He smiled he looked up to see her eyes open halfway. She had dark circles under her eyes from exhaustion. She looked at him and whispered doftly to him.
"I get all my strength from you and Ma. You helped me get through everything. Without you I would have been dead long ago." She knew that was reality. She knew that without Mo there as a child, their father would have killed her without a second thought.
"Don't say that. You were a strong child. You managed for fend off our father a few times." He rubbed her hand with his as she looked at him.
"Where's the baby? I want to see my baby." She looked around the room, but it was hard to move from the pain in her stomach from the surgery.
"Mercedes, you don't remember?" Bosco looked at her, in disbelief.
"Remember what? I remember pushing, then it went blank"
"Your baby was stillborn. You started hemoraging. Yo udon't remember any of that?"
"What? My baby.." She gasped as her eyes teared up, she started to cry.
"Love, I'm so sorry." The crying woke Carlos up and he moved to mercedes side nad held her hand.
"Tell me, tell me its not true." She looked at who couldn't say antying he just closed his eyes.
"No! Not my baby!" She started bawling and sobbing, waking her mother up. Rose moved to her daughter and kised her gently on the forehead.
"It'll be ok, baby. Don't be upset. Yo ucan always try again." Mercedes loked at her mother in shock. Between tears, and cries she spat out horrible things.
"I don't want to try again! We've been trying since I miscarried! I am tired of trying!" She curled into a ball and turned from everyone, crying.
"Leave me alone."
"Love, you.." Carlos started to talk and mercedes cut him off.
"Leave me alone! Go Away!" She threw the water cup at him. Carlos blinked as Bosco moved to his side and helped him out. Rose followed, slowly, shaking her head. When they got int othe hall, JImmy and DK came off the elevator followed by Walsh.
h After a few hours Mercedes wheeled back into the room. Rose was asleep and Carlos had nodded off. Bosco was the only one awake when she returned. Moving to her side, he saw the mask was gone. She still had the monitor attached to her, showing a steady heart rate. She still very pale with 2 different IV's and a unit of blood attached to the initial IV line. The doctor looked at him; some of her blood stained his doctor's coat.
"She went through the procedure fine. We didn't need to do the hysterectomy, fortunately. A tear had formed along the lining of the placenta and that is why she bled out.
