Chapter 47
Sara slowly became aware of sounds... beep, beep, beep. I'm alive.... She slowly opened her eyes. Emy was sitting next to the bed holding her hand, she was holding her head in the other. Sara squeezed Emy's hand causing her to jump. "Sara... hey Sar... you're okay... you're okay" said Emy through he tears of joy. "Heeey" said Sara weakly. Images from the trauma in Tegan's room suddenly rushed into her mind. Her heart monitor sped up. "Erin... Tegan..." she breathed. "They're okay Sara, they're fine... just calm down" Sara relaxed, her entire body had a dull ache. She was bruised all over including her face. She looked small and helpless in the white bed. "I... I love you..." she whispered. "I love you so much Sara... don't scare me like that..." said Emy. Kate walked into the room. "Welcome back Sara. How are you feeling" she asked. "Like crap..." she whispered. "What happened... what... Is Erin okay... and Tegan..." she said in obvious pain. "They're okay Sara... and he's dead... Erin's hurt quite badly but she's gonna be okay. We'll give you the whole story later. You just focus on getting better now ok. You're safe now... Your mom's outside, can I send her in?" asked Kate. "yeah..." whispered Sara. "We're safe, we're safe now... safe" she whispered with her eyes closed. "I'll never let anybody hurt you again Sara... never..." said Emy through her tears. "Fucked up date huh" said Sara and laughed causing her more pain. "Shhhh, shhh Sar, relax." said Emy stroking her hair. "I trust you'll make it up to me" she winked. Sonia jogged in. "Sara... oh my god honey... Oh Sara..." she said weeping. "I'm okay mom..." whispered Sara. "Yeah you're okay, you're all going to be fine... this nightmare will be over soon" said Sonia. "Erin... Erin saved Tegan... she saved her life..." whispered Sara. Kate injected some meds into her IV "You can tell us all about it later Sar, you need to get some rest now."
"There is no way you're speaking to her now" said Owen Hunt to an FBI detective. Owen was a trauma surgeon and he assisted Kate with Sara's surgery. "She's been through a lot... you can talk to her later. She needs her rest right now. Maybe she'll be up to it tomorrow... After speaking with a trauma councillor. Stop trying!" he said annoyed.
Alex was a mess. This is all my fault... I should have protected them... I should have paid earlier... but then... he would have killed them... Oh Erin... I'm so sorry baby.... Erin had numerous IVs and monitors attached to her including a cranial pressure monitor making sure her brain didn't start bleeding again. A ventilator tube was going into her mouth and her arm was in a cast - metal pins sticking through it. "Please wake up Erin... please baby" he whispered kissing her healthy hand. Erin stayed still. Kate entered and put her arm on her brother's shoulder. He started shaking with emotion. "So, apparently Erin's quite the hero... Sara woke up and she says Erin saved Tegan's life. We'll hear the whole story later but that sounds like her right?" said Kate smiling.
Lindsey was next to Tegan's bed... she tried to stay as still as possible, her legs up in the reclining chair. She still had an IV in her arm. "Tegan... everyone's okay babe, you're okay... You'll be out of here soon... We'll be one happy family soon..." she said looking at the ceiling with her hand on her expanding belly.
Ted, Jeremy, Stephen and Bruce were in the family room. They wanted to see the girls but respected that only one or two people were allowed in with them and they knew very well that they we not the right people to be next to them. "If they hadn't shot that son of a bitch I would have killed him with my bare hands" said Stephen fuming. "And I would've helped you" said Bruce. "Our kids Bruce... he hurt our kids... I can't bear the thought of..." Stephen trailed off, tears building in his eyes. "It's okay man... They're gonna pull through... and Steve..." said Bruce. "Thank you for calling them our kids"
The media was having a field day outside. Word of a kidnapping and hostage drama in the hospital soon spread and rumor was that the Quins and Morgan's were involved. Every major news outlet was outside waiting for a statement. It was a cool LA evening. Fans from both camps were crowding the lawn outside. An FBI spokesman stepped outside and had a thousand microphones shoved in his face. "Ladies and gentlemen... I can confirm that a hostage incident took place in the hospital earlier today following a kidnapping. I can confirm that one suspect is in custody and that another was killed during the rescue. We're not going to divulge any further information as this is an ongoing criminal investigation." he said. "Any confirmation that Erin Morgan and Sara Quin were involved" asked a journalist. The detective sighed. "Yes, Erin and Sara were involved... They were both injured but they received excellent medical attention and they are both stable. Please respect their privacy during this time. No further questions please" he said and walked inside. Fans were losing it. Crying hysterically...
A/N: A bit of a boring chapter to end off the night. I think we all needed that after the traumatic previous chapters. Thanks for reading. I'm off to bed. Remember to review please.
