Neela is 8 months pregnant
Abby POV
I look at the clock, 6 am, I should wake Carter up, our shift starts in an hour. I kiss him gently, "hey, John, wake up" I kiss him again
"muph" he grunts
"come on, our shift starts in an hour, get up"
"OK, i love you!"
"yeah, same here" I smile "I'll just go and get breakfast" "not for me, thanks!"
"what?" "i'm not hungry, I'll just have a coffee!"
"OK, you sure?" he nods
I walk into the kitchen and put the coffee on, I can't be bothered to eat either. I go and get dressed Johns in the shower, he comes out, dressed.
"hey"
"hi"
"you ready?"
"yeah, we don't have to leave for another 10 minutes!"
"I no, lets go out and get a coffee!"
"whats wrong with mine?"
"nothing, nothing, its just I wanted to take you out!"
"to go and get coffee? How romantic!"
"I no, its the best i can do...for now anyway!"
"OK, lets go!"
We walk into the hospital 5 minutes early and make our way to the lounge where Susan is sitting.
"hi you two!"
"hi, Susan, you OK?"
"yeah, you?"
"i'm fine! Whats it like out there?"
"fine, we have cleared the board for once!"
"Wow"
"look, I have to go and see Kerry about something" John says
"OK, see you later!" he kisses me
"so...?" Susan asks.
"what?"
"you know exactly what, I'm not blind!"
"nope, give me a few more clues!" I giggle
"well, lets see your hand!"
"OK" I show her my right hand
"your other one!" I pull my left hand from behind by back
"wow, its beautiful! Congratulations Abby!"
"thanks" I can't stop smiling, she hugs me
"I'm so ple..." a huge crash interrupts her, we run outside to see what it is. We gasp in shock at the sight that meets our eyes!
"Right everyone, if ANY of you move your dead!" A masked man is holding a gun, threatening everyone. "OK, since none of you are going no where, I'll take this mask off, also none of you will know me!" he obviously hadn't noticed me standing behind him! Carter came down the stairs as he took off his mask.
John gasped and looked straight at me, the man saw him and turned round and saw me standing there, his identity was reveled, it was Eric.
"Abby, what are you doing here?" his voice had softened a bit, but her was still pointing the gun at the others
"Eric, I work here!" he looks confused!
"Oh, right, yeah!"
he turned round to address the others "I bet you lot are wondering why I'm here with a gun and no-one else? Yeah? Well, I came here because I am feed up with people trying to drug me up all the time, they say their 'helping' me! Well, I came here to show you what I think of you lot!" he held the gun to his head, I gasp, he turns round sharply "well, you were the one who tried to put me on drugs, you did it to mum and now look at her!"
"yeah" Interrupt him, I know theres no point it getting angry "and she has got her life back together, shes working again, living a normal life!"
"I don't care Abby, they destroyed Mum, they'll destroy me!"
"Eric!"
"no, don't try!"
I take a step forward "look, Eric..." he shoots, it hits me in the stomach. I clamp my hand to the wound and step back and lean against the wall, for suport.
"Oh my God" Neela screams "my waters have broken!"
"Eric!" Carter yells and starts coming towards me
"no, John, don't stay there, I'll be fine!" he looks at me, I can tell her wants to be here, to kill Eric if he has to!
"look Eric!" Susan says from behind me "now both Abby and Neela need medical attention, let me help them!"
"no" he says "Abby can go and help Sam, you are staying there!"
"Abby can't walk over there, let me go"
"No, its OK, I'll go!" I think I have a plan
"Abby, you can't, not by yourself!"
"OK, look Eric, I'll go over there, but, I need Susan to help me, OK?"
"yeah, OK!"
I feel Susan's arm around me, we slowly walk over to Neela, every step i take sends shooting pain up my side. I gasp at the pain.
"come on, Abby" Susan whispers to me
we eventually get over to Neela, I collapse on to the floor
"Abby, are you OK?" Susan whispers
"yeah, look after Neela!" I say Eric starts to threaten the others, Susan looks worried, "look, Susan he won't do anything to them!"
"yeah, look what he did to you though!" Neela pointed out
"yeah, I provoked him!" I move closer to Neela and Susan "look, I think I have a plan! What we need to do is sedate him!"
"yeah, I think we all know that, but the only problem is how, not only do we have no drugs, you've been shot, Neelas in Labour, and the person we need to inject is armed and will kill us if we try to do any thing!"
"yeah, I know! But I know a way to get drugs and I can try to inject them!"
"Great, Abby, how do you propose we do that?"
"well, Neela, you need to pretend that your in a lot of pain, and Susan, we will persuade Eric to let you go and get some morphine but you will really be getting medozaloam I will then try to sedate him with it, OK?"
"yeah" they both answer in unison
"OK, you know what to do!"
Sam starts screaming 'in pain' Eric turns round, now its my turn.
"look, Eric, we need some pain meds! Let Susan go and get some!"
"no!"
"look Eric, please let me go and get some!" Neela screams again. "look, she really needs them!"
"Fine, if it shuts her up!"
"thank-you!" Susan bends down to talk to me
"look, Abby are you OK?"
"well, i;m bleeding to death, and my brother could either kill himself or any of my friends!"
"OK, I get your point, look what blood group are you? You need more blood!"
"um, I'm AB negative, look Susan you don't have to you know!" "I do, If i don't you will die! Look, i'll be back soon!"
"OK!"
Susan walks off, everyone watched her, scared, I suddenly relise how much i hurt, I breathe in sharply, John notices.
"Eric" he shouts "can I go and see Abby, she needs me!"
"No" Eric answers expressionlessly
"please, she will die if you don't! Do you really want to kill your own sister?"
"well, no...but!"
"please Eric" John begs
"OK, but why do YOU want to be with her so much?"
"well, we're, ummm, well we're engaged!"
"well, well aren't we the romantic ones?" I suddenly feel really light headed, then everything starts going black
"Abby!" I faintly hear John yell
"Abby stay with us!" I hear Neela pleading.
Suddenly I feel a prick in my arm, Susan must have got back with the blood, just in time!
"hey, you OK?"
I feel pressure on my wound, they must be trying to stop the bleeding, John is sitting next to me.
"Abby, hey, look, you don't have much blood, try to stay still!" by this time I'm fully awake
"look, we need to sedate him, Susan did you get the medozaloam?"
"yeah"
"OK, give it to me, i'll try to inject it!"
"No Abby, you can't, you need to stay still!" John sounds really concerned
"yeah, but, if I go then only one of us will die, if one of you go then you may be shot then that will be two of us! And hes my brother, I was practically his mother! He'll listen to me, he won't listen to a stranger! You have to let me go!"
"look, Abby, we understand!" i hear Kerry say, how did she get there i think. "but you can barely walk, how do you propose to get over there?"
"well, yeah...umm, i hadn't thought about that!"
"look, take this!" Kerry hands over her crutch "I don't know how much it will help but.."
"thanks Dr Weaver!"
"you'll be OK!"
"OK, look, John, whatever happens" I can feel myself crying "I will love you!"
"look Abby" he's crying too "I will see you again, now go!"
"OK, I love you!"
I get up and walk towards Eric, he hasn't noticed perhaps I can surprise him!
"what are you doing?" he turned round suddenly
"look, Eric, I know you don't want this, but, it will help you!"
"NO" he shouts
"LOOK, Eric, listen to me! It will help you, you can't keep kidding yourself that it won't work! It will, look at Maggie, she has really got her life back together, she has a job and everything!"
"yeah, but she's boring now, all of you are boring!"
"no, Eric, we're not boring, we're just different from you! You will never be normal if you don't take your meds! Why don't you try you will find your life will be better! You can do a lot more, you can get a girlfriend a permanent job! Look Eric please for me, for Maggie!"
"NO, I won't not for anyone!"
"OK, then you will be arrested and have to go to prison!"
"yeah, well, I will do anyway!"
"No you won't, if you take your meds then you won't, you may get community service and you will be admitted to a psychiatric unit until you take your meds, look Eric plea..."
he shoots again, it hits me right next to the previous one, I collapse onto my knees, John runs to me!
"look, Eric" he cries "look at what you have done! You have shot your sister, who acted as your mother when you were young! Please, I beg you! Let me inject you with this, and please take your meds!"
Eric's face changes as he realizes what he has done, he breaks down in tears!
"OK, I'll take my meds, just I want Abby to give that to me!"
"she can't, look.."
"its OK John, I'll do it!" I try to get up, I fall back down. John comes over and helps me, we walk over to Eric who gives out his arm, I inject the medozaloam. He immediately calms down. Yet again I go light headed, I feel John place me down on the floor
"I love you" i whisper
"I love you too" I hear him reply before I black out.
