AN: This chapter won't be as long as I usually make them. I want to end it next chapter so I had to cut major stuff out just to make the last one really long and to go out the way I really wanted it to. Hope you enjoy. Review! =)
It's too soon was the last phrase Serena heard before passing out. The court room was in a state of panic the entire time. Dan refused to let Serena's hand go until medical help came. They waited half an hour before help arrived. The ambulance came and rushed her into the hospital. The doctors worked intensively to save both Serena and the baby. Dan waited on the corner of the waiting room. Close enough to hear every word the doctors said. He heard all sorts of loud yells and muttled words. He sat with his head against the wall taking it all in.
"Humphrey."
"Not now Blair."
"She's going to be fine. I know my S."
"Yea, well..." Dan had heavy doubt in his voice.
"Don't think that way, or I'll punch your face and you'll be glad you're in a hospital." Blair punched his arm.
"I don't want to laugh Blair, not till they're okay."
Blair went to go speak but she saw Elaine out of the corner of her eye. She rushed over to her. She grabbed Elaine by the arm and dragged her outside. She gave her a stern and long look before even opening her mouth. There was so much she wanted to say. All the crap she had put Serena through, all the stuff she did to the baby, yet no words even came out of her mouth. She had so much pent up anger, so much frustration for Serena. She finally grabbed a hold of her words and formed a sentence.
"You really think this is such a good idea?"
"They won the suit."
"A phone call would of done just fine." Blair seethed with anger.
"You don't get it do you."
"That you're crazy, yea I do."
"Silly girl, you'll one day learn how important children are."
"All my life I begged for mommy's attention and it ruined me. To sit and pretend to be something I'm not. Then one day I told her, if she wants me in her life then she has to prove it. But my best friend is not like you or my mother. She will love that baby from the start. And because of you she could lose that baby or I could lose her. It would be wise for you to leave this property or I'll move you myself."
"I'll leave. I have nothing left here anyway."
"Good. Cause if you step one foot near her or her baby you'll be answering to me. I think you can tell I'm not one to mess with."
"You'll protect them and that's all I ever wanted for this child."
"Oh please. You dragged them in and out of court to feed some child fetish you have. Real maternal."
"I owe no explanation to you my dear." Elaine boasted as she walked away.
Blair rolled her eyes at Elaine's lame attempt at redemption. She tapped her foot furiously until Elaine left. She quickly composed herself before walking in. She looked Dan right in the eyes and shook her head. He got up and went to talk to a doctor. The doctor said the baby was fine, but since it was premature it would have to go through some testing. Dan asked if he could see her but the doctor refused. He said that she wasn't ready yet. Dan nodded his head and went to Serena's room.
"Well, Blair tells me that we won. But I don't feel like a winner. Our baby is hooked up to machines for tests and you're here, maybe in a coma. I'm out here with nothing and no one to help keep me sane. I know you always lean on me in these times, but I No one is sure of anything and it scares me. I've always prided myself on being a know-it-all, then you came along and changed everything. Don't leave me now."
"I won't" Serena said in a groggy tone.
"Leave it to you to let me make a speech before you wake up." Dan laughed.
"I always put you through hell first."
"It's your charm."
"Where's our baby?"
"She's fine. But they just want to run a test. Nothing major."
"Can I see her?"
"How about we name her first."
"Oh my, we never got around to it."
"Madison? Emily? Jane? Jessica? Blair gave me so odd names, but we are not naming our child after fruits or handbags."
"You want normal, I get it."
"It has to sound nice with Humphrey as a last name, I know it's hard."
"Emily it is. We'll work on the middle name later."
The doctor called Dan out of the room. He said that the test came back fine. She was just a little underweight, meaning she'd have to stay in the hospital for atleast a week or two. Serena pretend no to over hear anything, but she was never good at lying. The doctor agreed to let them see the baby tomorrow. He wanted both the baby and Serena to be in good spirits the moment they laid eyes on each other.
