Disclaimer- still don't own anything
A/N- Hey guys, I've been delaying this chapter for a very long time now…I am sorry, but it look like I may only have a chapter or maybe 2-3ter this one… and they are more of an epilogue then a continuation.
Chapter 17Jesse Paced back and forth in the waiting area of floor 10 in Port Charles General Hospital. Mac sat on the couch his face buried in his hands, thoughts of his daughter, waiting for news on her condition. The elevator door opened with a ring, Georgie, Felicia and Dillon exited and ran over to Mac on the couch with so many questions. Dillon came over next to Jesse.
"I'm sorry we actually accused you of doing this" Dillon said
Jesse looked up from his pacing and nodded at Dillon he was to focused on the outcome of Maxie's condition to reply.
"It's just…the timing, you can't blame us can you?" Dillon asked
Jesse looked up at him "Dillon, don't worry about it, it's all the past now, Right now, all my attention, and focus is on the love of my life, fighting for her life right now." Jesse replied
"Understandably" Dillon replied
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to go off on you right there, I'm just worried, I don't think I'd forgive myself, if something happened to her and I never got to make anything right between us." Jesse said
Dillon stood there, with the nagging feeling of a secret, everything inside him was telling him to tell Jesse about the unborn child Maxie was carrying. He opened his mouth about to speak, but changed his mind abruptly realizing it wasn't his place, to tell.
"What?" Jesse asked
Dillon looked at Jesse trying to act confused on why he said 'what'
"You were about to say something, then you stopped yourself." Jesse said
"Oh…I..Umm.-" Dillon started but was interrupted by Dr. Monica Quartermaine walking over.
Jesse walked over to Mac and the rest of the Jones family to hear the news of Maxie's condition. Everyone was silent waiting for Monica to talk
"I'm afraid I don't have good news yet…Maxie's condition is worsening, she lost a lot of blood and punctured a lot of arteries, but we have the best doctors in the state working on her right now." Monica said
Georgie turned into Dillon's arms and began to cry softly for her sister
"Mr. Beaudry, There is a decision to be made, may I speak to you alone?" Monica asked
"No Monica, But I'm not letting him make decisions for my daughter, anything you need to say to him you can say to me instead." Mac insisted
"I'm sorry Mac, but between Doctor patient confidentiality and the given circumstances I need to speak with Jesse." Monica said walking away
Mac and Felicia looked confusingly at each other, Jesse looked at them even more confused, the only two who seemed not to be confused was Georgie & Dillon who looked at each other blankly as if they were having a conversation of their own through their minds.
Jesse turned around and walked in the direction Monica just went and met up with her "Dr. Quartermaine what's going on? What do you have to talk to me about that you can't talk to Mac about?" Jesse asked
"Jesse, Maxie's condition is worsening by the hour, we are running out of possibilities." Monica said
"You told us this already, what's going on Monica?" Jesse asked
"There is a procedure we can do, It's still an experimental procedure, but the testing results have been very good." Monica said
"But I'm not a blood relative of Maxie, I'm not able to make these decisions for her, her family needs to? Don't they?" Jesse said
"True, in most cases, but this case is obviously a bit different." Monica said
"How so?" Jesse asked confused
Then it had hit Monica that Jesse did not know Maxie was pregnant, but she couldn't waste vital time bouncing around it now. "Now that we have to consider the life she is carrying inside of her." Monica said
It hit Jesse like a ton of bricks he remembered back to the helicopter ride, which seemed so long ago. He had suspected it then, but the thought completely left his mind ever since. "She….She's pregnant?" Jesse asked
"Yes, Anyway this procedure has been tested on pregnant women before." Monica started
"The results?" Jesse asked
"Not the best…3 out of 10 times the child survived." Monica stated
Jesse felt like he had been hit by bullet. "So your saying there is a 70 chance of the child I didn't even know about, dieing?" Jesse said
"The numbers aren't pleasing, we know, that is why we must get consent from the father of the unborn child." Monica said
"You're asking me to take a risk on my child's life?" Jesse asked
"Technically yes, but think of it as making a choice to save Maxie's." Monica said
