A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update, my writing buddy hasnt been
emailing me so I decided to just post a chapter myself. I hope you like it!
Im not a doctor so if these things seem very unlikely...well its obvious
why they would be wrong! ~Jess
Questions were thrown right and left in the chaos surrounding Lizzie as Gordo was trying to comfort her the best he could. Its been one day and three hours since they recieved the call. Those calls that make your blood run cold just because the person on the other end of the line holds information that could change your life so dramatically. The call that her precious baby was no where to be found.
The police station made it all too real to her that this was really happening. She was really reporting her child missing and trying to hunt down her where abouts. She was really here, experiancing this havoc, the chills from the cold office, the hardness of the chair beneath her that she felt could be pulled out from under her body at any moment.
" Where is my baby? I want to know right now! I need to know if shes safe!" She cried as her body racked with sobs, Gordo tightened his arms around her figure.
This could not be happening; Not to her...it only happened in movies this way.
Not in real life.
Not in her life.
Tears made it impossible for her to see everything before her, she could barely even make out Gordo next to her but she could feel his strong arms around her, trying to give her stregnth.
" Why would Hayden do this? Why take a baby just to bring her somewhere else?" The man was asking on the phone as he was being told new information on Alexis.
Who did all of these voices belong too? She didnt know. Nothing would comprehend, not now. She tried her best to grasp what little knowledge she was being told but she was having a hard time.
" Mrs. Gordon, " He repeated until he had eye contact with Lizzie. It took her a second to realise he had gotten off the phone. " your baby was found in an ally just west of here, apparently Hayden put her in a box and thought he could put her in a dumpster and no one would know but the dumpster was in back of McDonalds, a worker went to bring the trash out and found her there. She is being held in the hospital right now, we can take you there in a police car."
All of this wouldnt register with her fragile state of mind, she rushed to stand up as quickly as possible so she could get to Alexis but her feet seem to be glued to the floor, her heart seemed to drown out all of the other sounds in the room, her breathing was so labored that she had trouble hearing the commotion as she felt herself falling.
Gordo stuck his arms out just in time to catch her against his body. He looked panic struck as he called out to her.
" Lizzie! Baby...itll be okay...its going to be alright..." He said outloud, mostly to himself.
~~~~~
Lizzie opened her eyes but quickly closed them to block out all of the bright lighting. She sat up in a hurry as she remembered everything that occured before.
" My baby! Where is my baby?" Was all she could cry out.
Her parents tried to soothe her as she looked around the room, searching for answers.
Gordo was no where around.
~~~~
The heart monitor beeping was the only noise that filled Gordos ears as he watched his little girl inside of the incubator. It pained him to see so many tubes coming out of her little body.
" Hang in there, girl..we need you." He whispered as he touched the plastic case. Tears built up in his eyes and then fell down his cheeks as he watched her struggle to breathe.
He had wanted to be there for Lizzie when she woke up but he had to make sure Alexis was stable. Gordo knew when she woke up, she would want answers. He just hoped he could give them all. He also knew how she would react to seeing her baby this way.
~~~~
He made his way down the hall to check on Lizzie, sticking his hands in his pockets as he walked. Gordo turned into the room and seen a distraught Lizzie trying to argue with her parents.
" Im fine, please. Just let me go see her!" She tried to reason.
He gave a knowing glance to Sam and Jo before he made his way to her bedside.
" Gordo!" She cried out as she accepted his open arms. " Did you see her? Is she okay? Please tell me she is!"
Gordo opened his mouth to reply but just then a tall man in a white lab coat walked in.
" Mr. and Mrs. Gordon?" He asked the young couple, after they nodded he continued. " Im Dr. Peters. Ive been looking after your daughter. Im afraid that she was left in there a long time without the propper care or shelter that should be provided for a newborn. There is also what appears to be head trauma. She took some abuse to her skull and where her brain is trying to develope. We could give her alot of time and try to pull her through but if she did live, she would be very mentally challenged. Her body would grow but her mentality would remain at a very young age. Im very sorry to suggest this but I think the best thing to do is turn the machines off. Thats all thats keeping her alive. Her chances dont look good. "
A cry escaped Lizzies throat as tears wouldnt stop falling. She felt like the worse mother in the world. She threw up as the room kept spinning. She tried to cling to her husband but nothing would slow it down. Gordo tried to hold back his tears and stay strong for his wife but even he wasnt that strong.
Her life was spinning out of control.
Jess's Note: Alot of you prolly hate me for this right now but you dont have to read this story if you dont want too. It might be a stupid way to direct it but its the direction I want to go in. Im sorry if you dont like how my plot is going but there are tons of fantastic stories to read on this site. My three favorite authors are...(Read their stories! They are the best!)
