Dusty's POV.
"We need a crash cart stat." I hear John Dixon call out to one of his nurse. I start to panic as I wonder what is going on.
"John?" I call out. He turns around.
"I have to get to Lucy." John said not really stopping to talk to me.
"What happened John, talk to me."
"Lucy flat lined." As he said this, my whole world crumbled. Lucy may be dying. My daughter is NICU. How did I lose so much in so little time? How.
"Mr. Donovan." I hear one of the nurses calling me.
I turn around. "Yeah."
"You may see your daughter now if you want." She smiles and leaves.
"Thank you." I do not want to leave Lucy however, what if she wakes up. What if she asks for me? I know I should go and visit Nicole. I...Did I forget to mention that Craig barred me from seeing Lucy. Yep because technically he is her next of kin. I am just the boyfriend. With Sierra not here. She cannot give her permission.
You might be wondering why Sierra is not here. There was some business she had to take care of in Montega; she made Craig promise to call her if anything changed. She would be here on the next chance she gotten. I just hope Lucy is still...I cannot even say it.
More tears flow down my cheek at the mere thought I may be losing both of my girls.
I hear Dr. Dixon talking to Craig. "How is she?" Craig asks.
"She's still critical, but she's stable. She's not out of the woods yet."
"What are the chances of her pulling out of this?" I ask.
"Not good, the next twenty four hours are critical." John says as he goes about his business.
I go up to Craig. "Let me see her."
"Not on your life." He smirks knowing he has the upper hand right now.
"Screw you Montgomery" I say as I head to the NICU at least he cannot keep me away from Nicole.
I begin to walk to the NICU when I hear Hal Munson's Voice. "Dusty."
I turn around. "Munson. What's going on, with my..." I cut off.
"Eleanor Hedrick and Blanche Merman are both on their way back to Western State psychiatric Hospital in Washington State. They both escaped from there a few months ago, Eleanor have been seriously ill for quite awhile now. She somehow convinced this Blanche person to play her mother."
"Eleanor is insane." I ask. I could not believe it.
"Certifiable, which means since she doesn't have the power to make her own decisions your marriage to her, is Null and Void." I smile. That had to be the best news I had gotten all day, the only thing that will top that is Lucy waking up.
Hal explained to me what the doctors explained to him, Eleanor isn't stable enough to make decisions on her own. Her Doctor is her Power of Attorney. Eleanor had agreed to give all rights to him as her soul decision maker.
Since he wasn't here to sign her marriage license, her Signature is Invalid, which means my Marriage is as well.
"Thank you Hal." I say as I quickly hug him, and head to the NICU. To see my daughter. Once I am there, I am ordered to put on all this protective clothing, so I will not give her or any of the other babies in there any germs. Their lungs are not strong to breathe and any germ born illnesses can cause a lot of damage.
The nurse leads me to Nicole's chamber. The tag on the unit says. "Girl Donovan." She looks so tiny, and helpless. The sight just breaks my heart. She is hooked up to a breathing machine to pump air into her lungs. "How's she doing?" I ask the nurse on call.
"You want the truth?" I nod. "Isn't doesn't look good. Your daughter has had some pretty major Drama done while in the womb, she'll be lucky to make it till tomorrow." My heart stopped there.
"She might not make it till tomorrow." I say stunned as I continue to watch her working to live. She is working hard. I can tell.
"Don't leave me baby, Aiko." I use the nickname I have for her I feel the tears flowing down my cheeks as I feel my legs give way under me. I fall down into a chair.
"I can't lose them, I can't." I say as I continue to let the tears flow. I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Dusty she's gonna pull through this, she's a Montgomery, a Walsh and a Donovan don't forget." The person says I turn around and to my surprise....
Tbc.... I am going to have the next POV in the person that is talking to Dusty to find out that it is turn to chapter 15 coming soon...
