A/N: This chapter is Short and Sour.
"I don't want another marriage. I don't want a bloke. I just want a father for my child. That's all that I can manage at the moment." Her words rang through his ears, again and again and again. He stared at her in shock, and watched as Josh walked through the door. He stood motionless as Josh made his way over towards Tess. His feet were cemented to the floor as the other man began to hit Tess in the face. He watched as her head was thrown from side to side with the force of his hits. He watched in horror as Josh threw a well aimed at her stomach. Josh smirked as she fell to the floor, clutching her stomach. He left through the door he had come. Evan was finally able to move his feet. He rushed to her side and watched as her face contorted in pain. The crutch of her pants was red and wet with her blood.
He didn't know how, but somehow he ended up at the Emergency Room, clutching onto her hand, racing down a corridor. A door was slammed in his face, and all he could see through the glass was her face, filled with pain and fear.
His pulse beating in his ears, he watched, feeling detached from his body, as she was wheeled down the hall into the operating room. The nurse came out, looking grim. He didn't need her to tell him. He could tell from the look on her face. She shook her head anyway, and he broke down in the middle of the room, surrounded by strangers who all avoided him. He began to scream her name, tears pouring down his face. He couldn't believe he'd lost her. He couldn't believe he'd lost them both.
A/N: Please review. Even flaming is welcome.
brindabella: oooh, praise is good!!! I think that I also am one of the only remaining TJ writers.
softballover: I'm glad people found it funny, cos i was kinda worried whether it would sound stupid. I'm gonna keep writing as much as my muses will allow.
