Chapter 40
Kate came rushing into the ladies room with Adison and Emy short on her heels. "Lindsey... Lindsey... what's going on? Are you okay... Linds?" Kate was frantic. "I... there's blood... please... bleeding... Kate help me... Please I can't lose these babies... It will kill Tegan..." Lindsey was sobbing hysterically. "It's okay Lindsey, we've got you..." said Adison calmly. An orderly came in and picked up Lindsey's tiny body quite easily and put her on a gurney. "Please, the babies... please let them be okay. Tegan needs these babies" whispered Lindsey through her pain. Kate was running the gurney down to the exam room as fast as she could. Adison was shouting orders as they entered. She was rattling down a list of tests as Kate put an oxygen mask on Lindsey's face. "Alright Linds... nice deep breaths for me, I know... I know it hurts... breath in... and out... and in... there we go. I need a BP please" said Kate trying to remain calm. Lindsey could feel needles pierce her arm as somebody started an IV and another took some blood for tests. Adison had the sonogram on Lindsey's belly almost immediately. "Are they... are they okay... please tell me..." Lindsey sobbed. Adison and Kate both had concerned expressions on their faces. Adison rolled around the sonogram probe. "Come on guys, where are you..." she whispered. There was a lot of commotion going on in the room. "I need you guys to shut up if I'm gonna find some heartbeats" A few seconds passed... Everybody was quiet. There they are... two heartbeats, they're a bit slow but they're there. Where's those meds?" said Adison urgently. Kate took Lindsey's face in her hands. "They're still here Linds, we're gonna take care of them. Just try and stay calm for me okay" she said. Lindsey was still sobbing... She felt her entire world being ripped from under her... Adison ordered more drugs and tests. "Lindsey, I'm gonna do an internal sonogram okay... It's gonna be a bit uncomfortable" said Adison. "I... don't care if you shove a baseball bat up me just... tell me they're okay..." panted Lindsey. A nurse removed Lindsey's pants and Adison put Lindsey's legs in stirrups and gently guided the probe up into her vagina. Kate held her hand and she squeezed it tight. Lindsey sobbed in relief when she saw a heartbeat... Then another.
Sara was tied to the chair again, she managed to control her nose bleed but a bruise was already forming on her cheekbone. She was thirsty, so thirsty... They haven't had anything to drink since they were taken the previous day. Jake slapped the back of her head when she tried to take a drink of water while she was cleaning her face. "Could we please... get a drink of water... please" she asked looking down. "No..." was Jake's only reply. Sara felt like crying but she was not going to give him the satisfaction! "Asshole" she whispered. Erin started giggling, so did Sara. Jake walked over and looked at them suspiciously. "What the fuck are you laughing at?" he screamed. He walked to Erin's side and grabbed her hair pulling hard. They couldn't stop laughing, an obvious defense mechanism kicking in. He grabbed Erin's throat and started squeezing it. Erin felt the fingers tighten around her windpipe. She couldn't move, she was tied up really well. She tried to shake her head but the hands squeezed tighter. She couldn't breathe. It hurt like nothing she's felt before and she felt the world start to slip away. Her face was blood red, eyes and mouth wide open. The veins on her temples started to show. "Stop it... please... stop! No please... Stop!" Sara was hysterical and tears were running down her cheeks. Jake started laughing like a madman "who's laughing now... huh! Who's laughing now!" he screamed. Erin felt the world fade away. This is it... I'm dying... Susan got up and pushed him away from Erin. "What the fuck are you doing? Trying to kill the golden goose..." she said sounding annoyed. Erin gasped for air just before losing consciousness. Pictures and sound crept back. She coughed violently interrupted by wheezing. "Erin... are you okay? Are you okay?" asked Sara. Erin nodded her head looking down trying to compose herself and find her breath. "If you kill us they will find you... they will search the ends of the earth for you and they will find you... You can count on it... You can't just get away with killing America's darling... they will find you and fucking torture you before killing you" yelled Sara in rage! Sara's rage seemed to fuel Jake's. He cut Sara's injured hand loose and ripped off the removable cast. "Well maybe I'll just hurt you then... think you're a rockstar hey.. when all you are is a talentless fucking dyke" he screamed sadistically. "Sara... just shut up..." wheezed Erin. Jake took Sara's fingers and bent them hard towards her forearm. Sara screamed, she could feel her broken bones move. "No please, stop please" yelled Erin. He took her fingers again and bent it towards her palm. Sara heard a snap and felt bone move in her hand. She blacked out in pain.
Emy was sitting in the waiting area alone. She was sobbing. How could all of this be happening. She sobbed for Lindsey, for Tegan, for Erin but mostly she sobbed for Sara... How can you be gone just when I found you again... Kate walked in and sat down next to her and started rubbing her back. "It's okay Emy... Shhhhh" she whispered. "Is... Is Lindsey okay.. The baby?" She asked through her sobs. "Lindsey's okay... so are the babies... Plural" said Kate smiling. "What?... There's two?" she asked stunned. "Yeah, they haven't told anybody yet what with everything happening... They're expecting twins" said Kate. "Are you sure everything's okay" asked Emy seemingly calming down now. "We're admitting Lindsey and putting her on bed rest for a few days. She has had a LOT of stress recently and if she wants to keep these babies she needs to take it very easy... The babies were in a lot of distress. The pregnancy is in a very sensitive stage... Bad timing right... We're giving her something to sleep now and we're going to continue monitoring both mom and babies for a while but Adison is positive that she has it under control. We're also going to keep Tegan sedated for a while. She's simply not strong enough to handle everything that's happening. I'm a bit worried, Tegan's condition has deteriorated during the last 24 hours but we have it under control..." Reported Kate, she sighed knowing there was something else on Emy's mind too. "Thank you..." whispered Emy. "Em... They're gonna find them... She'll be back in no time... Just... Just keep believing"
