Ch. 40 ~ A few days later~

It was around 9:30am when Allie woke up from an unpleasant dream. She quickly sat up in bed trying to remember what she had dreamt that was so bad she woke up scared. But all she could remember was a scene of Chloe, her mother and herself standing together but out of all of them she was the only one who had some sort of black aura around her.
"What the hell was that?" Allison thought to herself. For some reason, she knew it had something to do with the baby, she didn't know exactly what it was but she felt that there was something wrong with her baby.

Allie quickly got out of bed and tried to just ignore what had happened. She was home alone since her mom was at work. Allie cooked herself some breakfast then headed for the shower. Mostly everything she did that morning in some way reminded her of Shayne. When she cooked breakfast for him and how they both showered each other. Everything.

Allie finished showering and then got dressed. She cleaned her house then headed to the family room to watch some TV. She had one of the satellite dishes so was able to see everything 3 hours ahead of time. As she was clicking through every channel, not paying too much attention, suddenly heard some announcer say something about a flood in Prague. Allison quickly thought of Shayne and remembered that was where he was filming. She clicked back until she found the channel, "Entertainment Tonight", which had one of them hosts saying…

" On today's news, severe flooding in Prague which causes officials to evacuate many of its residents..." That was all Allison needed to hear to know that there was something really wrong going on over there, she gasped at the sight of the pictures and scenes of the city deluged. She was terrified.

Allison's eyes started to water up which in a few moments turned into tears coming down her face. Being pregnant made her very emotional.

Before the announcer could say anything about the cast of "ALOEG" Allison turned her TV off and called Chloe.

*RIIIIIIIIINNNNNGG*RRRIIINNNGGG*

"Hello?" Chloe whispered.

"Chloe, Shayne's in trouble! There's been huge flooding in Prague and Shayne's over there.!" Allison said all too fast for Chloe to really understand her.

"What? What are you talking about Allison?"

"Shayne! He's in Prague and the place is flooded! They've evacuated people but what if they didn't get to Shayne?!" Allie said in a scared panicked voice.

"Allie, I'm in the middle of a class and my professor is eyeing me already, I'm sure he's fine I'll call you later, ok?"

"Oh god!" Allie let out as she suddenly felt terrible pain from her tummy.

"Allison?!" Chloe said aloud, not caring of the fact that she was in class, as she heard a weird *thump*.

Allie had fallen to the floor and all Chloe could here were her sounds of pain…

"Oh god, no, not my baby" Allie said trying to stop the immense pain somehow by holding on to her tummy, still lying on the floor.

"Allison?! Allison?! What's wrong?"… After no answer, Chloe ran out of class and drove as fast as she could to Allie's place.

Chloe had a spare key of Allie's house just like Allie had of Chloe's since they had always been second homes to each other, so she unlocked the door and ran in looking for Allison.

"Allie?!, Where are you?!" Allison?! Chloe said frantically running around the house.

"Chloe" she faintly heard coming from the family room.

Chloe rushed in there to see Allie on the floor crying with her hands placed over her abdomen.
Chloe knelt down beside her and put one arm under her head and the other on her belly.

"Chloe, my baby, help me" Allie said looking desperately into her best friends eyes.

Chloe quickly reached for the phone and dialed 911….

Allison had been in the hospital for a few hours already. The doctors had given her medications to calm her down, which evidently made her fall asleep. Chloe was in the waiting area only a few doors away from the Allison's room. Chloe sat there worried still not knowing what was going on with Allison. She sat there playing back the ride to the hospital in the ambulance and the way Allison cried in paid worried about her unborn child and then looking deeply into Chloe's eyes begging her to find out of Shayne's whereabouts. A few tears slid down Chloe's cheeks as she remembered all of this.

The doctor came into the waiting area….

"Excuse me, is there anyone in here for Allison Carter?" the doctor asked looking around talking to the only 3 people in there.

"I am doctor" Chloe answered as she quickly stood up and walked over to him.

"Hello miss, what is your name?" the doctor asked while looking at his chart.

"Chloe Sullivan, how is she doctor?" Chloe asked worried as hell, hoping it wasn't bad news.

"Well, Miss. Carter is doing fine now. We have given her medications to calm her down"

Chloe sighed a breath of relief. "What happened? What caused this to happen?"

"Well, Miss. Carter shows to be under a lot of stress and has gone through a very frightful and shocking ordeal . Whatever the reason was, made this a traumatic experience for her, which is not too uncommon in pregnant women, they seem to be very fragile in this period of their pregnancy." The doctor said trying to make it sound as understandable as possible.

"How is the baby?"

"Thankfully, Miss. Carter got here on time for us to stop her from having a miscarriage. Since she was at a high risk of losing her unborn, we must keep her here for a day or two, to make sure everything is well."

Chloe was very grateful to hear this. She was glad and relieved to know that Allison and her baby were ok. "Thank you doctor, uhm, can I see her?"

"Well, she just fell asleep and is finally resting peacefully, she really needs all the rest she can get at this moment so I'd be best that you come see her in a few hours."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you doctor very much." Chloe said.

"No problem, just try to make sure this doesn't happen again. The fact alone that this happened today still keeps her at a higher risk of having a miscarriage if she goes through so much emotional fright and stress."

"Yes, doctor." With that, the doctor left and Chloe sat down again. She knew exactly why this happened. Allison not being with Shayne and missing him so much plus living with the pain and guilt of making him go away was stressing her out. And to add on to that, hearing the news of Shayne and that flooding had to be what scared her so much. Chloe thought of all this and knew what she had to do.

*RRRRIIIIIINNNNGGG*RRRIIIIINNNNGGGG*RRRRIIIINNNGGGG*

"Hello?"

"Hey Jerry?"

"Yup, who's this?"

"Its Chloe"

"OH hey, what's up?" Jerry asked, this was the first time they talked ever since that night at Starcity Park.

"Jerry, I need to know what's up with Shayne right now? Do you know?"

"Why do you want to know that for? Don't tell me Allison is making you call to get the scoop on Shayne after what she did. Shit, she's nuts if she thinks I'm gonna tell you after she broke his heart and shit" Jerry said all to fast starting to sort of take it out on Chloe.

"Hey, hey, hey, you better calm the hell down and stop talking your shit. Make sure you have all the facts straight before you start running your mouth and making up your own conclusions ok? And since I know YOU don't know all the facts you better shut up." Chloe told off annoyed by his attitude.

"Okay , okay, no need to get your panties in a bunch. Don't get mad." Jerry said not taking too much of it seriously.

"Yeah whatever, listen Jerry, this is an emergency, and I need to know if Shayne's ok"

"Oh don't tell me you like him now too?"

"Jerry! I'm not fucking around, this is an emergency and I have to know about Shayne!" Chloe said aloud which made people look at her.

"Okay calm down…He's fine. He's back home. After that flooding shit in Prague the cast came back"

Chloe sighed a breath of relief and felt a big ton come off her chest. Not only did she want to know if Shayne was okay to tell Allie but she grew to care for him as time went by and not to mention he was the love of her best friends life.

"Jerry, I need you to do me a favor?"

"It depends on what it is"

"Jerry stop acting dumb ok this is not the time for that. Just contact Shayne right away and tell him to meet me in the main lobby of 'St. Vincent's Hospital'."

"Hospital? Damn, this must be serious"

"I've been telling you it is. Just do that ok, tell him to get here as soon as possible"

"Ok, Chlo' I'll call him and tell him" Jerry said. Chloe heard and felt a little something at the sound of him calling her 'Chlo'.

"Thank you Jerry" Chloe said as deep inside began to feel for Jerry again.

"Hey, wait, do you think that maybe we could possibly, uhm, meet up later on?" Jerry asked nervously.

Chloe smiled to herself. "We'll see what happens later on ok. Just please hurry and call Shayne'

"Ok"

"Bye' Chloe said and quickly hung up.

"Bye" Jerry said to no one.
