CHAPTER 32
Still in shock after learning she was pregnant with her second child in less than a year, she attempts to call her parents, but she gets their voice mail
Sabrina: Mama, daddy...I have some incredible news and I really don't want to leave it on a machine, I've been trying to reach you for weeks...I'm getting worried...Please, call me when you get this...anytime, day or night...doesn't matter...call me...
4 months along and she already is starting to show...she won't be able to work much longer and she couldn't wait. She and Patrick decided they would let this baby be a surprise...they found out Noah's sex, but they both wanted to be surprised this time around.
Patrick: Hey, I'm home...he says coming in from an early day shift....
Patrick hugs Sabrina and kisses her belly as he does every day.
Patrick: How are my two beauties? He asks still holding her tummy.
Sabrina: Exhausted, she says plopping down on the couch....Patrick sits with her and rubs her feet. This pregnancy is not as easy as Noah's.
Patrick: (Makes a sad face) I'm sorry my love, he says brushing her hair away. Is there anything I can do?
Sabrina: Well, no, unless you want to have this kid for me, she laughs.
Patrick: Hey, if I could I would...in a heart beat.
Sabrina: Speaking of which, we have a sonogram tomorrow to do just that...she smiles facing Patrick. We sure we don't want to know?
Patrick: Positive, unless you do? (She shakes her head no, and smiles)
Sabrina: Noah's crying, she sits up hearing her son.
Patrick: Stay, I'll get him...is it time for his bottle? He checks his watch, I'll get that too, you stay put you hear, he points to the couch as she tries to get up.
Sabrina: I love you, she says smiling shaking her head...
Patrick: I love you more...now sit...
Sabrina does as asked.
Patrick: Thank you...I'll be right back with our beautiful boy.
Sabrina: How did I get so lucky, she says to herself smiling...
Patrick: Here's mama, he says handing Noah to Sabrina...he stopped crying the minute he was in her arms.
Sabrina: There there, she says feeding him his bottle...you're okay.
Patrick is watching his wife with their child and can't get over how amazing his life has become in the last few short years.
Patrick: Wow, he says out loud without realizing it.
Sabrina: What? She looks up smiling.
Patrick: I just can't get over how beautiful you are. Sitting like that with our son, he says with glossy eyes. I feel like I'm living a dream.
Sabrina: Well, I'm happy to say you're not. Patrick gets closer to Sabrina and Noah, kissing Noah's head as he eats.
Patrick: I looked in Emma's room, but she's not there, where is she?
Sabrina: She's at Darcy's...her mom invited her to spend the night and I couldn't resist, they both laugh.
Patrick: Well, that's good, he kisses her. Mama needs a break, he says kissing her neck.
Sabrina: Patrick, she whispers...the baby...
Patrick: Come on little guy, he takes the baby back as he finished the bottle, and was fast asleep in Sabrina's arms. Don' you move mommy, he winks.
Patrick returns and sees his beautiful wife with her eyes closed laying on the couch.
Patrick: Really? He laughs quietly...he picks her up and puts her in their bed. As he puts her down she wakes and up kisses him...they make love.
Sabrina: (Snuggled next to Patrick) Wow! She exhales, as does Patrick...
Patrick: Yea...wow! He laughs...That was the best sex we've ever had!
Sabrina: Ya think? She looks at him all giddy and happy.
Patrick: You don't think we hurt the baby do you? He asks concerned.
Sabrina: No, not at all...the doctor said sex during pregnancy is perfectly fine...nothing will harm our baby girl.
Patrick: Girl?
Sabrina: Yea...something tells me this baby is a girl....she smiles kissing him.What would you say to having another daughter?
Patrick: A daughter that looks just like her mother, I am all for it...I love girls...he laughs.
Sabrina: Believe me, I know, she jokes teasing him.
The next morning Patrick gets ready to head back to the hospital for another shift...it was Sabrina's day off and she was planning on getting the nursery ready for baby.
Sabrina: Okay little one, she says rubbing her belly...shall we go shopping? She smiles...the baby kicks...oh you must be a girl, she laughs...She gets herself and Noah ready for a day of shopping.
In a rush to pick Emma up at Darcy's Robin gets in her car and heads over to Emma's friends to pick her up...it was her day to have her and she couldn't wait to spend time with her little girl. Looking for her cell while driving, Robin isn't paying attention to the road...
Sabrina smiling from ear to ear as her baby "girl" dances in her belly excited to go shopping, and Noah sleeping in his car seat, notices that it is all of a sudden getting really foggy and puts her wipers on.
Sabrina: Wow...where did this horrible looking sky come from. We must be in for some rain little one...no worries, mommy will get us to the mall safely...she laughs.
Not realizing there was other drivers on the road, Robin continues searching for her cell.
Robin: (to herself) There it is! She says grabbing for the phone, swerving in the other lane...whoops...easy Robin...she puts two hands on the wheel. While dialing Darcy's mom to let her know she was on her way for Emma, she looks down for a split second to get to her contact list when...
Sabrina, unable to see anything in front of her or around her because of the fog, decides its not a good idea to be out after all and turns the car around to go back home.
Sabrina: Is that a deer? She asks herself squinting to see the lights facing her...now not being able to see anything at all begins to get scared and tries to pull the car over when CRASH!
Both Robin and Sabrina's cars are smashed and both girls unconscious. Amazingly, baby Noah is not harmed...he's crying when some time later someone on the road sees and hears the accident, reports it but doesn't stay.
General Hospital
Elizabeth: Looking at the incoming chart list...looks like we have a motor vehicle crash coming in...one pregnant woman and another woman...
Patrick: Any id's yet?
Elizabeth: No...the EMTs were on their way to the scene and should be here shortly.
Patrick: I'll call Sabrina and check in before they arrive, unaware that his life was about to change in just a few short minutes...he gets her voice mail right away. Hey babe, it's me...just wanted to check in and tell you I love you! I'll see you later! I love you! He smiles and ends the message.
Elizabeth: What do we have? She asks the EMT as the first victim is wheeled in...she notices that it's Robin...Oh my god! What happened?
EMT: Still gathering details mam but looks like a cell phone call went wrong...
Elizabeth: Thank you...do we know who the other patient is yet?
EMT: She's being rushed in now...extensive bleeding and there was also a 9 month old baby boy in the back seat and she's pregnant as well....Elizabeth becomes worried.
Elizabeth: What?! Is he okay? Still not aware of her friend being the other person.
EMT: Amazingly he was unharmed...just a few scratches, but we're bringing him in too...we have to get a hold of the woman's husband as soon as we get an id...
Elizabeth: Robin, hey...it's me...she says gently shaking her awake...she gains consciousness briefly.
Robin: I'm sorry...she says very softly before losing consciousness again...
Elizabeth: No, Robin...Patrick! I need you.
Patrick: Oh my god! Is she okay? He asks checking her vitals...we need to get her for tests stat! He says panicking.
Epiphany comes to take Robin in for tests to see if there was internal bleeding.
Patrick: Where is the other victim? Did I hear there was a baby involved? He asks becoming worried.
Elizabeth: Yes...the elevator door opens and the second victim finally is rushed in.
Patrick, Not realizing it was his beautiful wife who was the victim begins examining her...a few minutes later...he realizes it's Sabrina.
Patrick: Blood pressure is low...pulse low as well and....he stops cold...finally seeing his beautiful wife laying there unconscious.
Elizabeth: Patrick, what's wrong? She sees him stop, face pale. Oh my god! She says standing with him...That means...
Patrick drops his medical chart
Patrick: Where's my son? He begins to panic...the EMT's bring Noah in a few minutes later and Patrick takes him...What happened baby? Oh my god, he begins to cry after realizing his wife was seriously injured.
Felix responding to his page comes to help with the crash victims.
Felix: What do we have? He says as he realizes what was going on.
Felix: Oh, no! He says clasping his mouth trying not to cry...Bri?
Elizabeth: I need you to focus Felix...I know she's your best friend, but Patrick is in shock right now...I need you to take him and Noah and get Noah looked at immediately. We will take Sabrina for testing and go from there...are you okay to handle this? Felix nods yes.
Felix:(Takes a deep breath to control his emotions for Patrick's sake) Patrick, hey...he says trying to snap him out of his shock as Patrick holds Noah close.
Patrick: Felix, hey? He smiles...Have you seen my beautiful boy? He says scaring Felix...Felix tries to keep his emotions in check...
Felix: Holding back tears himself....Hey, yea, of course...my godson is the most precious thing on the planet...Dr. Drake, I need you to focus...are you okay?
Patrick: (Comes out of his state of shock) Felix...I need my wife...where is she?He asks starting to freak out.
Felix: Here, let me take Noah, he says fearful of what Patrick is facing...he's never seen him like this before and is afraid he is having a breakdown.
Elizabeth comes in a few minutes later...Patrick is frantic and in the midst of a breakdown...Patrick tries dialing his wife again hoping she would answer.
Elizabeth: Who is he calling? She asks taking Noah for Felix.
Felix: Sabrina, he looks at her worriedly.
Elizabeth: Oh my...Let me take Noah to the nursery...the doctor will look at him shortly...Anna and Duke are on their way. Stay with him? Try to snap him out of it...
Felix agrees.
Patrick is staring blankly out the window.
Felix: (Taps him on the shoulder) Hey...Patrick...Hey...are you with me?
Patrick: I can't lose them! He sobs and breaks down as Felix catches him and hugs his friend and cries along with him.
Patrick: (A few minutes later...wipes his face) I'm sorry Fe...
Felix: Hey, no need for apologies...are you back with me now? He asks trying to make his friend laugh.
Patrick: Yea, I think so...I need to find out what happened and what the status of my wife is...come with me?
Felix: Of course...come on, he says opening the door for them to check on Sabrina.
