A/N: This chapter is mostly in Rory's POV with a little of Jess. Thanks for the review I'm so glad you like it.
Middle of the Night Emergency
That was an interesting night. I hate this doctor's office. Jessie's sick and we're in a room with bunnies on it. Somehow I don't think this is helping her get better.
Bunnies I hate bunnies and why'd the doctor make us leave. Why couldn't we just stay with her? Ugh I hate waiting.
"Well it's just a touch of the flu" the doctor said coming into the waiting room.
"A TOUCH OF THE FLU SHE WAS CHOKING ON HER OWN PUKE" Jess yelled at the unsuspecting doctor.
"Well babies do that sometimes" the doctor said
"I should warn you though next time it happens you should take her to the emergency room instead of here."
"WELL THIS IS A 24 HOURS PEDIATRICIAN ISN'T IT AND ISN'T THAT SORT OF LIKE AN EMERGENCY ROOM" Jess yelled again.
The whole time he was arguing all I could do was smile it was nice to have him here to yell at stupid doctors who look like they just got out of med school an hour ago. I looked around the room and realized it wasn't that bad. It was kind of cute. With the white bunnies on the blue and green walls and the toys scattered around it kind of looked like a day care. I was so happy all I could think about were how I would love to be a bunny but that brought on some other thoughts like what the sound of Jessie's coughing had interrupted. All of a sudden nurses started running around screaming something about an ambulance and I snapped back to reality. (A/N: I don't know if they would actually call an ambulance if they were already at a doctor's office but in my story they do) Jess ran towards the door that lead to the back room where the patients were. I followed him into Jessie's room and saw her on the floor.
"WHAT HAPPENED" I yelled.
A few EMTs came running in a put Jessie on a stretcher. I had no clue what was going on and by the look on his face neither did Jess. The two of us followed the EMTs out to the parking lot and we got into the ambulance.
"What's wrong with her why isn't she waking up" I asked frantically.
"She's dangerously dehydrated and her heart rate is slowing down" (A/N: I know nothing about medical stuff I'm only 12 so it probably shows here.) one EMT said.
"Well is she going to be alright" Jess asked.
"I don't know but I must tell you I think this is more than just the flu" the EMT said.
I nodded and was silent the rest of the way. I just looked at Jessie lying there.
Why did this happen. What happened is probably a better question. I have to call my mom.
When the ambulance stopped they took her out. Jess and I followed them into a room but were soon shooed out after some beeping and yelling and running. I didn't know what was going on so I took out my cell phone and called my mom.
"Hey babe what's up" mom said.
"Jessie's sick I don't know what happened she's in the hospital… hello" I said then hung up the phone "Damn cell phones."
A few minutes later mom and Luke came running in with Sookie and Jackson behind them.
"Is everything okay? Where is she?" Luke said pacing back and forth.
Just then a doctor came out and walked up to us.
"I'm sorry" he said and walked away.
"NO" I yelled running into the room where Jessie was.
Two doctors were covering her up with a sheet. I threw myself forward onto the bed. "NOOOOO!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. The doctors tried to get me to leave but Jess made them let me stay. I started crying and I noticed so was everyone else. I buried my head in Jess's shoulder and just cried soaking his t-shirt. Mom was crying on Luke's shoulder and Sookie on Jackson's.
She was so young. She barely even lived. Why did she have to die? She never did anything wrong.
All day Rory has been telling me that I had only missed three months and that we had the rest of our lives together. That she wouldn't even remember those first three months but I missed her whole life. She was three months old why did she have to die? I barely even got to know her.
I sat there next to the bed for hours just crying on Jess's shoulder. Finally some nurses told us we had to go. We left but I didn't want to go back home so we all went to Luke's.
"I think this is all just a dream that I'll wake up tomorrow and everything will be fine" I said "I'll wake up and Jessie I'll be up screaming for coffee. I know it's not a dream I know it's real but I can't help thinking it shouldn't be real."
"I shouldn't be real no child deserves to die that early in life, no child deserves to die at all" mom said sitting next to me at the counter. Luke went behind the counter and poured six cups of coffee. Jess sat on the other side of me and Sookie and Jackson sat next to my mom.
"You know what bothers me the most" I said "they still don't know what was wrong."
"Yeah I mean aren't doctors supposed to be smart" Jess said finally able to speak.
"Yeah those idiots have no clue what they're doing" mom said
After that no one said anything. Eventually we all fell asleep.
We woke up that morning to the sound of knocking on the door. Luke got up and opened the door to let Kirk in.
"Hey Luke I didn't know you were having a slumber party" Kirk said looking at the five of us getting up.
"I'm not Jessie died last night" Luke said not realizing what he said until he already said it.
"Jessie you mean little three month old Jessie Rory's Jessie" Kirk asked.
"Yes Kirk that Jessie" I said walking behind the counter to get some coffee.
"Wow I'm so sorry" he said "what happened."
"They don't know" I said. Then Miss Patty and Babette walked in.
"Know what?" Miss Patty asked.
"Why Jessie died" Kirk said
"Jessie died" Taylor Dossie said "Oh Rory I'm so sorry what happened."
"They don't know" Babette said.
I broke down crying. I fell to the floor and just sobbed. Jess, my mom, Luke, Sookie, and Jackson sat down next to me all crying. Babette, Miss Patty, Taylor, and Kirk took this as their signal to leave. I couldn't believe she was gone.
Sad I know but it'll get happier. At least as happy as it can get when your daughter just died. Well I hope you liked it please review. Oh and it's my birthday don't know why I threw that in there but I really like birthdays so I just thought I'd share that with everyone.
