The five friends paced around the hospital room, awaiting word on Spinelli's condition. When they had found her, she was passed out and shaking, and by the time they had gotten her there, they had feared that her life was truly on the line, for the reality of her condition had finally set in.
"You guys think she will be ok?" TJ asked fearfully, his voice choked up as he tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill.
"I don't know," Ashley Q. answered honestly. "I mean, my cousin Elisa went through the same thing, but we caught on to the problem almost a year after it began, and that's how she developed her heart problem. Hopefully we caught it early on enough in Spinelli where we can get her the help she needs."
"I hope you are right, I just wish we had caught into this before hand, I mean, I live with her and I didn't even notice. What kind of friend am I?" Gretchen began to cry quietly in her seat, and Vince came around to put his arms around her.
"Baby, no, it isn't your fault, none of us noticed it, if Ashley Q. hadn't told us, we never would have known until it was too late and then who knows what would have happened?"
"But, we kind of did, when she passed out at the convention," Gus argued. "We should have known then something was up."
"Oh, what to do when our friend's life is on the line!" Mikey exclaimed. "Ohh, a candy machine!" he cried out, running over to examine the contents of the vending machine.
TJ rolled his eyes. "Spinelli is dying, and all that bastard cares about is some freaking vending machine!" he growled, staring daggers at the chubby blonde, who looked like he was in heaven as he stared at the variety of treats in front of him. (OOC, yes, but needed for next chapter)
"Chill, Teej, he is trying to keep his mind off of things, and maybe you should too. The doctor will come out and tell us her condition once he knows it, and I am sure she will be ok." Vince handed TJ a copy of People magazine. "Maybe J.Lo and Marc Anthony's new romance will distract you for a little while."
TJ took the magazine, but couldn't concentrate on it. All he could think about was how he had let his best friend suffer, and now she was probably going to die because he was too blind to notice she needed him. Granted, Spinelli had kept the problem well hidden, but he felt it was sad that he hadn't noticed, yet one of the Ashleys---Spinelli's worst enemies--- had. "If that doesn't make me a bad friend, then I don't know what does," he said to no one in particular as he tossed the magazine aside and got up from his seat. Maybe a walk would do him some good. As he paced around the waiting room, Vince and Gretchen looked at him worriedly.
"He's really taking this hard, isn't he?' Gretchen commented, as they watched their friend stare blankly through one of the room windows.
"Of course, he and Spinelli have been best friends since they were babies, of course he's going to take it hard," Ashley Q. said. "I mean, its almost as if he is losing someone he loves."
"Well he does love her, in a best friend kind of way, but I see what you are saying. Maybe I should talk to him." Vince got up and walked toward TJ, ignoring the girls' protests to let it go.
"Does he realize now is not a good time to talk sense into TJ?" Gus asked, moving next to Gretchen.
"I don't know, but right now, none of us are thinking straight." Gretchen bit her lip and looked around the room, hoping Spinelli's doctor would magically appear and give them some good news. She was just about to go up to the desk and ask for some information when a tall man with sandy colored hair came up to them.
"Hi, I'm Doctor Carter," he introduced himself with a smile. (points to whoever gets who he is!) "Are you folks waiting on the condition of Miss Ashley Spinelli?"
"Yes, how is she?" TJ asked, running up to him, hoping for some good news, which he had a feeling wasn't going to come.
Dr. Carter looked somber as he tried to find a gentle way to break the news to the group.
"Well?" TJ demanded, losing his patience.
"OK, well Miss Spinelli lost consciousness, and is now awake but groggy. Unfortunately, the effects of the eating disorders she is suffering from have caused her body to weaken and lose important nutrients. Although she is awake now, she is still in critical condition. We are hoping that by putting her on an IV filled with nutrients she needs will help save her life." (I forget what it is called) Dr. Carter took a deep breath before continuing. "We are also hoping doing this will save the life of her baby as well, which is why we need to act right away. If we don't we can potentially lose not only her, but her unborn baby as well."
"Oh, my God!" TJ cried, collapsing to the floor in tears. Vince went to comfort him, but something the doctor said was bugging him.
"Hey wait a minute," Vince began, his mind trying to comprehend the words the doctor told them.
"What baby?" Gus finished for him.
"I'm guessing you all didn't know, possibly because Miss Spinelli didn't even know herself. But yes, I am afraid that Miss Spinelli is pregnant."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
A/N: whoa, who was expecting that to happen? Who knew our Spinelli would end up pregnant? Will she and the baby live? Will she make the right choice and get help---and most of all--- WHO'S THE DADDY??? Stay tuned!!! Please r/r, but remember, if you can' t say something nice, don't say it at all! Happy reading!
