Chapter 20: Worry
I was hit by the ambulance and fell in the floor. I tried to ask for help but I could barely breathe because of the pain. And I quickly passed out. I woke up half an hour later and saw blood between my legs and panicked. Kerry was arriving and saw me trying to get up.
"Abby. Abby, what happened?"
"I was hit by an ambulance"
"What? Lily, get a gurney"
Kerry sighed deeply before speaking.
"Abby, I'm afraid you miscarried the baby"
I was in shock, even after I was aware I had lost my baby.
"Oh…"
I wanted to cry. I didn't know I loved this child so much. Susan saw me lying on the gurney and started following it.
"My God Abby. What happened?"
"The ambulance hit me"
"Oh my God!"
"Yeah"
They entered in a room and I slowly began to lose my senses and passed out.
"Lost the pulse"
"Start compressions"
"Charge in 30"
Lily gives the paddles to Susan.
"Ok, clear"
"No change"
"Charge in 60. Clear"
"PPs 100 over 70 and dropping"
"5 epi"
"Go get the sonosite"
Lily goes to the other room.
"Can I get the sonosite?"
"Sure. What happened?"
"Abby probably miscarried"
Luka and Gallant lift their heads and look through the window.
"Let's take her to surgery"
Lizzie and the nurses make their way to the OR and Luka and Gallant walk in the room I was.
"How is she?"
"We're trying to make her come back"
John was saying goodbye to Kem at the airport.
"When are you going to Africa?"
"Well… I'm not"
"What? Why?"
"You said I would have to believe in you. Well, I won't take over this child until I know if I'm actually the father"
"It's because of her, isn't it?"
"What?"
"Your ex"
"Abby? She's not my ex. You are. I'm marrying her. Which means there's no come back for me and you"
"Lily, page Carter"
"You're in love with her, aren't you?"
He didn't say anything.
"Are you?"
He was about to answer when he pager rang. He took it to see who was.
"It's from County. I need to go" – He started to run, but stopped, turned and walked to her – "Yes, Kem, I'm in love with her. I missed her. I missed everything I've been through with her. I'm in love with her. I've always been"
And with that he ran and headed to County. He arrived and ran inside.
"Susan, did you page me?"
"It was Lily. But there's something you gotta see"
"You're scaring me. What is it?"
Susan takes him to the OB and walks in with him. He got shocked with what he saw.
"Abby!" – He ran to my side.
"She was hit by an ambulance"
"What?"
John was terrified.
"And she lost the baby"
He looked at me still not believing on what was happening.
