They walked back to the ED, Charlie waiting for Connie to make a appearance.
"She's ok, she's in ICU…" That's all Connie needed to here before running up the stairs, dashing to Rita.
"Rita… Freeman…" She said breathlessly, the woman telling her to room number. Connie entered to see Rita sat up in the bed, talking to the Nurse. Behind her was a tiny incubator, with an even tinier baby inside.
Connie's voice caught in her throat as her and Rita made eye contact. The Nurse got up and left, leaving Rita and Connie alone together.
"It's a girl." Rita smiled, Connie rushing over to the bed and taking Rita into her arms, both women bursting into tears. "I thought I was going to lose her."
"Me too, I thought I was going to lose you too!" Connie sobbed, kissing the side of Rita's face before pulling back and kissing Rita properly.
"How is everyone else?" Rita asked, Connie walking over to the incubator, poking her hands through the specially made holes to caress the little baby's soft skin.
"Ethan didn't make it…" Connie whispered, not tearing her eyes off the beautiful baby. "Dixie is fine, just cuts and bruises. I've sprained my hand, but I'm fine really." Connie said. "How are you and the baby?" Connie questioned.
"I'm fine, I was starting to miscarry, that's what all the blood was, but they got her back." Rita half smiled, shuffling up so Connie could sit next to her. "She's actually fine, once they got her back she was fine. She's completely healthy, that's why they said she could stay in here." Rita relayed all the information she had.
"I love you so much." Connie pulled Rita close again.
"I love you too." Rita smiled, so happy that all of her family was safe.
I KNOW THIS IS A LOT SHORTER THAN STAGE 1, BUT THIS IS WHERE I WANTED TO END IT. LEAVE A COMMENT IN THE REVIEWS IF YOU WANT A STAGE 3!
