Her heart was racing. She could feel her body shaking and her legs ready to give out. She wanted to break down and cry, but forced herself not to. She needed to see him first.
Seeing Roman and Seth, she ran over to them.
"What happened?", she cried.
Roman held her to him, letting her cry. Once she was calm enough, he sat her down and bent down in front of her. Seth sat beside her.
"There was a missing kid. The house was about ready to fall, but we couldn't just leave the kid", Roman said.
He swallowed.
"Dean found him. The floor was giving out under him and he tossed the kid to Randy. He tried to hold on till we got to him, but he fell", Roman said.
She could see tears in his eyes.
"Dean", Roman shouted.
Kane ran down. Seth was already trying to pull boards off of Dean. Roman joined them, but the smoke was getting to him.
"Get out, now. You inhale anymore of this smoke and you'll be just as bad as Ambrose", Hunter shouted.
More of the guys ran in to help Dean.
"I'm not leaving him", Roman coughed.
"Damn it, go. We've got him", Seth shouted.
Braun took Roman's arm and pulled him out. He sat him by an ambulance and Kofi hooked him to a breathing mask. Braun made his way back inside the house. Hearing cracking, he turned his head. The roof was getting ready to cave in. He removed the mask.
"Reigns, stop", Kofi shouted after him.
He coughed while quickly making his way back inside the house. Before he could enter, the men walked out with Dean. He was passed out and Kofi quickly ran over to him.
"How is he?", Roman asked.
He felt like he was going to pass out.
"We need to get him to the hospital", Kofi said as they loaded Dean onto a stretcher and placing a breathing mask on him.
Loading him, they quickly took off. Hunter dragged Roman to another ambulance and shoved the breathing mask at him.
"Put this shit on and don't take it off till a doctor takes a look at you.", Hunter ordered.
Roman nodded and did as he was told. He noticed the family hugging the little boy Dean had saved. He smiled. His friend had done that.
"He saved him, Izzy. You should be proud of him", Roman said.
"He inhaled a lot of smoke and hit his head on the way down.", Seth said.
She looked at him and then back at Roman, who's smile disappeared.
"What aren't you telling me?", she asked.
"He's in a coma, Iz", Roman said softly.
She shook her head no.
"He's, not, he's going to be fine", she said.
Roman squeezed her hand.
"Brie is his nurse. She asked for him", Roman said.
"I want to see him. I need to see him for myself. Now. I want to see my, my", she stopped.
She wanted to say husband, but they weren't married yet. Would they ever get the chance now? She was afraid to even think that.
"Abel.", she said suddenly.
She was going to stand, but Seth and Roman stopped her.
"Nikki is picking him up. She will bring him here, she won't tell him what's happening till he's here", Roman assured her.
"I want to see Dean", she shouted.
"Ok, ok, I'll get Brie so she can take you back", Roman said calmly.
He knew she didn't mean to shout at him. She was worried about Dean. Scared of losing him. Seth went in search of Brie. Spencer watched from the side, not wanting to interfere in what was going on.
Pulling into the hospital parking lot, Nikki looked at a confused Abel.
"What are we doing here?", he asked.
"Roman and Seth will explain it to you. They'll be waiting in the lobby for you", she said softly.
Abel was afraid to get off the car. Had something happened to his baby brother or sister? Nikki walked to his side and opened the door for him. He got out and followed her into the lobby. His dad was here. His uncle Roman was holding his mom while she cried. Spencer saw him and walked over to him.
"I've got it", he said to Nikki.
She was hesitant to leave Abel to him, but nodded. Making her way to Roman and Isabelle.
"What's going on?", Abel asked.
"Its Dean", he said.
Before he could tell Abel more. Seth came down the hall with Brie. Abel quickly went over to his mom's side.
"You can come back and see him, but only for a little bit. The doctor wants to keep him monitored around the clock", Brie said softly.
Isabelle quickly stood.
"I want to come", Abel said.
"Ok, but only for a little bit", Brie said.
Isabelle wrapped an arm around Abel. Roman started coughing and Nikki helped her husband sit.
"Shit, in all this I forgot you still haven't seen a doctor", Seth said, moving towards Nattie and asking her for a free doctor.
She quickly went to find one. Nikki helped Roman put the breathing mask on.
Brie stopped them in front of a door. She opened it slowly and they walked in. Dean had a tube in his mouth, a loud machine making noise, helping Dean breathe.
Isabelle quickly went to his side and cried into his chest.
"I'll be right outside if you need me", Brie whispered.
She kissed the side of Abel's head before leaving. Abel went to Dean's other side. His dad's head was wrapped. His arm had a cast on it and so did one of his legs.
"Please wake up baby", he heard his mom whisper to him.
She squeezed his hand.
"Its me", she whispered.
Abel took his other hand, wiping the tears that slipped. He watched as his mom kissed Dean's cheek. Someone lightly knocked before Dr. Jericho walked in.
"Brie let me know you were here. I just wanted to come by and let you know what was going on and what I plan to do to help Dean", Chris said.
Isabelle wiped her cheeks and nodded. Never letting go of Dean's hand.
"When he fell, he hit his head pretty badly. I want the swelling to go down.", he said.
"So you induced the coma", Isabelle said.
Chris nodded.
"So he will wake up?", Abel asked.
"He will. The machine is helping him breathe because he took his mask off to give to the little boy he saved. Trust me, him being in a coma right now is best", Chris said.
"We trust you", Izzy said.
Chris nodded.
"I'll let you spend a few more hours with him before visiting hours are over", Chris said.
They watched him leave. Abel looked at his mom.
"Dad's going to be ok? Right? I don't want to lose anymore dads. I just got one back", Abel said.
Isabelle walked around the bed and to her son. She cupped his face in her hands.
"Dean is strong and healthy. You know very well it will take a lot to hurt him. Dad is going to be just fine", she said.
Abel nodded and hugged his mom.
"Did you call aunt Mia?", he asked.
She sighed.
"No. I'll do that when we get home", she said.
He nodded. The door to the room opened and Jon walked in with Trish. He walked over to Dean's side. Trish hugged Isabelle.
"Did the doctor talk to you yet?", Trish asked.
Isabelle nodded and told her what Chris said. Trish nodded and hugged Izzy one more time before going to her son and kissing his head. Jon hugged Abel and assured him Dean was going to be ok.
"He wouldn't want you two fussing over him", Jon said.
Isabelle smiled and nodded.
"I know", she said.
"Then lets continue to plan the wedding. He would want that as well", Trish said.
Isabelle nodded. Brie let them know when it was time to go. Walking down the hall and into the lobby. Izzy watched as Roman pointed at her. A woman turned to look at her. A little boy in her arms. She walked over to Izzy and Abel.
"Hi. I'm Zelina Vega. This is my son, our house was the one that burned down. Your husband, Dean, he saved my son", Zelina said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Isabelle smiled.
"If it wasn't for him, we would be mourning our son right now", Zelina said.
"I'm glad the both of you are safe.", Isabelle said.
She couldn't hate this family. They didn't get Dean hurt on purpose. They also couldn't know what would happen.
"How is he? Your husband?", Zelina asked.
"He's in a coma, but he's going to be fine. Doctor said he's going to be fine", Isabelle said.
She could see the guilt on Zelina's face.
"Don't. This wasn't your fault and this is Dean's job. We know the risks. Hell, I know my fiancé, he would have gone in to save him whether he was a firefighter or not", Isabelle said, laughing at the end.
Zelina nodded.
"If you or your family need anything, please let me know. We owe you", Zelina said.
"You don't owe us anything, but the same goes for you. If you or your family need anything, let me know", Isabelle said.
Zelina nodded. She hugged Izzy before joining her husband and the rest of her kids by the door.
"I called Mia. She's on her way down", her mom said.
Isabelle nodded.
"Malia and Austin are fine as well.", her mom said.
"I just want to get home to them", Isabelle said.
