Chapter fifteen
"Where are we going?" Emma whispered softly. Her eyes were still red and puffy sitting in the passenger seat on a car.
"We're going to met up with, Linc, Alex and Katt." He said softly. At least he hoped. It was the three of them and nothing else went wrong. He looked up and around the car before looking back to Emma. Emma's fingers were touching her stomach light she jumped when Michael's phone when off. "Yeah?" Michael said into it. "You'll have to... trigger it manually then... By that you--" Michael listened to the line die; Emma now twirled her hair trying to focus on what was going on.
"Emma, I know about the baby…" he said in a calm tone as she now glanced to him, he was starting to drive faster, but Emma kept still. "I'm gonna step aside, I think it's best you two work it out…"
"You know you can't choose that for me…" Emma said looking to the building that had seemed to have been blown up, she now looked frozen.
Michael pulled up close to the building. Alex was holding Lincoln close to him. They jumped into the back seat.
Emma turned wide eyed in the seat. She shook feeling the burning feeling in her throat.
"Oh God!" Lincoln sweat poured over his face. Alex put pressure on Lincoln's chest with his bare hand.
"We... Need a HOSPITAL!" Emma finally looked at everyone quickly.
"No hospitals…" he growled and Emma jumped into the back seat, her hands moved Alex out the way as he quickly jumped into the front seat with Michael and Emma pressured the wound. "Emma, don't…!" he snapped while she kept her hands on it, and Michael started to drive back to the warehouse, not wanting Katt alone too long.
"Emma leave me, alone!" he tried to push her away, but she had the upper hand for once, "I fucked Sofia!" he said making Emma's eyes widen.
"Well I fucked Michael, colour us even, now shut up and let me help you!" her voice strained as she now started to try and take a better look at what she was dealing with, "We need a hospital…"
"No Hospitals, you are a dumb ass bitch!" he spat at her, and Emma slapped him hard around the face.
"Is that the way you talk to the woman expecting your baby!"
Alex's eyes went wide looking to the back seat.
Michael knew about the baby but he was still shocked by the back seat drama. His eyes kept going from the road to the mirror and back.
Lincoln was staring. Huge eyed. Like eight sizes bigger then usual. It made his head look smaller. "What?" He weakly was rubbing his face where the burning was happening.
"YOUR BABY IDIOT!" Emma spit into his face. Lincoln moved his head painfully feeling a pulling in his lungs. He gasped for air.
"Oh... My GOD!" He gasped stressing.
"I hate you!" She drove her fingers into his wound to be a bitch, "call me a bitch again!" she snapped while Alex glared back at her.
"EMMA! I swear Katt is rubbing off all over you…" he said while Emma removed her finger placing it on his shirt rubbing the blood off.
"Emma, you cheated on me, with Michael…" Lincoln said watching her, and Emma laughed, "You did…" he added.
"Yeah I slept with him, after you join the Nazi's!" she barked seeing Michael pull up in front of the warehouse.
It was unclear whether the pain in Lincoln's chest was now his lung filling with fluid or his heart completely breaking.
"I joined them to save you!" Lincoln narrowed his eyes. "To keep, Michael, L.J. and you safe!" Each word was filled with cold honest truth but they were mixed with pain and sadness that ... Emma had slept with his own brother.
"Shut it." Emma narrowed her eyes once more. Lincoln licked his lip tasting sweat. The sun was beating off the hood on the car it made it impossible to look forward with out blinding yourself.
"Emma... Take a deep breath." Michael whispered.
"I DON'T NEED A SHRINK!" Emma violently yelled at everyone.
"It's mine?" Lincoln had weakly said. Emma's eyes went soft.
"Yes yours..." They got mean again. "BUT ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN WHILE YOUR COMPANY!" She snapped hitting him across the head. Lincoln didn't react to the blow.
"Ow." He murmured.
He head fell back an inch onto the back seat head rest, his breathing had gotten slower. Emma started wanting to let him suffered but her medical training kicked in ... And love she couldn't deny she loved Lincoln Burrows. She reached into the back seat getting out a medical bag she saw on the way in, Digging around.
"I'm not surprised Katt's ran out right now screaming 'Emma, Emma!' Repeatedly." Michael murmured. That was true... Katt would have been out the second that SUV pulled into the small lot.
"Alex I need help moving him, please…" Emma opening the door, and Alex was quick to help, even Michael rushed to get his brother out the car, it was a long walk getting into the warehouse, Katt looked shocked staring to the blood, Lincoln looked sick, his face draining.
"Linc please, you need a hospital." Emma was on her knees in front of him, her eyes staring deeply into his, but Lincoln kept still.
"No…" He coughed bringing up a lot of blood making Katt jump back, but Emma looked to her face.
Katt held her belly; her face cringed up, "Katt how long far are they apart?" Emma glanced to Katt, her face in pain, but keeping quiet.
"No, it's not…" Katt said when it had passed, her eyes quickly to a clock, thirty minutes apart, fuck.
"Katt, I know you're not scared of blood, and I know pain isn't a big thing!" Emma's eyes shot to Michael.
"They both need a hospital." Emma looked on the melt down point, she couldn't handle it.
"No, Emma, please, it's like peeing, I can hold it!" Katt sad panicked, her eyes wide, But Emma's eyes were back to the Lincoln.
"I need to drain the fluid from his lungs, it can give us more time, but he needs a blood transfusion…"
"You have to be kidding me." Alex whispered his attention to Katt. She shook her head. "Uh uh!" She looked absolutely horrified.
"We need. We need. Needles. Medical ... We need to go to a HOSPITAL!" Emma yelled it made a semi conscience Lincoln jump slightly.
"Emma... Where can we get what you need?" Michael said not thinking about a hospital.
"A HOSPITAL!" Emma repeated.
"What if we ... Go to the hospital but bring the stuff back here." Alex commented his fingers ran along Katt's stomach.
"Could you do that?" Michael's eyes went to Emma.
"Yeah I could, but germs are here, and bacteria, and Linc could get an infection, and his penis will drop off!" Emma said, ok the first part was true about the germs and infection.
"My penis, drop off, I like my penis…" Lincoln looked panicked as Michael rolled his eyes.
"Linc, your penis won't drop off…" he said lightly, and Emma bit her tongue, her eyes glazed over.
"No but then again, Sofia liked it!" Emma spat to Lincoln while Alex started to help him back to the car.
"Emma, again! Shh about Sofia, you screwed Michael!" he added while Alex and Michael took him back to the car, Emma folded her arms.
"Emma, is there anything you can do for Katt…?" Alex asked now they were all in the car, and Emma felt her throat tighten.
"I can get a mild pain killer…" she said while thinking about it, damn, that be good right about now. Katt was quick to slap her around the head.
"No turning into a pain killer junkie, you idiot…" Katt snapped trying to remember she was in labour.
"Emma, it's not good for the baby!" Michael said in the front seat, Katt snapped her eyes to Emma.
"You're pregnant again!" She said quickly, and Michael started the car staring at Emma.
"You were pregnant before!" Michael looked to Emma being the last to know this information.
"Yeah, she miscarried…." Lincoln said in a weak voice, his hand rested on Emma's knee, but Emma bit her lip.
"Oh she's lying!" Katt pointed to Emma's face, but it was a bad idea, Michael was driving crazy to a hospital, and Emma was getting nervous.
"You lied to me, you didn't miscarry!" Katt snapped, Alex was in the front looking back on the scene, Michael kept driving. "You had an abortion!" she pointed deadly, "You broke your own rule!" Emma avoided looking at anyone.
"Just get us to a god damn hospital please!"
Katt refused to speak to Emma now, there was no way at the moment she could. That rule was an important rule. The rule she promised to never have an abortion. That rule was more complex but that was the just of the rule. Emma didn't believe in abortions. Katt held her stomach in her arms. Lovingly in pain, the darkness in her mind set down was making the pain subside she looked at the clock. Another wave would hit her soon. She winced.
"Almost." Michael whispered pulling into the guest parking on the hospital. He was glad there was no toll fee here.
Lincoln head was swimming in itself. "You ... Didn't want my baby..." His voice was sad.
Emma shattered, into a million little pieces. She closed her eyes taking a breath. Feeling the car stopping,
"Alex come with me. I need your help." Emma opened the door getting out. She fixed her clothes. Alex nodded getting out of the car he followed with her into the hospital.
Alex handed Emma a hospital coat, she placed it on before pulling her long brown hair onto he face, she sneaked quickly into supply closet, it was nice in a hospital, unlike most people, Emma loved it, the clean smell, the way everything was neat and placed in labelled boxes, she started to pick up things she needed, her hands brushed over things, her eyes going to the pain killers on the self taking a needle.
Alex waited on the outside, he glanced around, someone was heading for the closet, "Excuse me, can I ask you something?" Alex got not only the woman's attention, but a near by FBI agent.
"Alexander Mahone, freeze!" he snapped holding his gun up, and Alex froze, he lifted his hands up. The agent was quick with the cuffs.
"You have the right to remain silent…" he started that long and boring speech, as Emma exited the closet, and Alex nodded his head towards the door, he mimed "go…" as Emma pulled her hair in her face walking quickly to the exit.
Hurried, Emma walked back to the car as fast was possible her pockets were filled with things. She was alone.
Michael looked at her instantly he knew something happened by the flashes of 'What do I say' across her eyes. She got into the back seat reaching into her pocket. "Where's Alex?" Katt squeaked in the very back seat. Emma couldn't tell her, she just ... Couldn't.
Se opened the packaged needle and stared at it for the longest time. Before she got onto Lincoln well close enough to be considered on him.
"Deep breath best you can." Emma said avoiding his eyes. She pushed the needle into the lung, started to slowly drain fluid.
"Where is Alex?" Katt asked again. She knew, deep down she knew, her voice portrayed she knew...
"Alex... Got arrested." Emma finally whispered.
"We gotta get Mahone...!" Lincoln said quickly. His eyes were closed. Katt squeaked a noise.
"No we have to go…!" Emma said taking the needle out, but a window on the driver's passenger seat smashed up, and a Company Goon tapped his gun on Michael's window.
"Care if I drive…" He said slowly, and in a sickly sweet tone.
They was walked back into the hotel room, Emma felt a little better that T-Bag wasn't there, hopefully killed for failing to keep her, but Katt sat down on the sofa, with Lincoln, and Emma kept by his side trying to keep a calm face.
The General was now looking to Lincoln, "it's a sad thing what's going to happen, but it an interesting thing, watching the blood drain from his face." The General stood up, "Lets see if he would like the see the blood drain from Sofia's face!" He turned on a TV linked to a Macbook, Sofia appeared on the TV, and Lincoln tensed up making Emma roll her eyes.
"I will, let Sofia go when you hand over Scylla." The General looked between them. Michael didn't speak. That wasn't like him at all.
Emma swallowed his eyes not on the TV. at all but at Lincoln. "But I will not let you go." He snickered. Emma tensed now too, her hands in a fist. Emma ducked fast and low as gun shots broke into the room. The agents fell to the floor. The room became silent again. ",'NANDO!" Katt screamed in a pain but happy voice. Emma looked up unducked. C-Note and Fernando were standing here. "Havin' a party with out us all?" C-Note grinned. "C-Note!" Emma said brightly. They turned. Michael was holding a gun to The General. "Let Sofia go." He said seriously.
"Back down, I said back down, let her walk…" he said while Emma watched Sofia run like a prissy ass bitch.
"Now I'm gonna kill you!" Michael pointed the gun to The General.
"Michael no!" Emma shouted while she looked to the old man, and then back to Michael.
"Do it Michael, kill him!" Lincoln whispered while Emma kept staring.
"Michael no!"
"Kill him!" Lincoln snapped.
"NO!" Emma added while Fernando came closer to Michael, his hand touched his friend.
"Michael, I didn't come all this way for a revenge thing, do you have See-La…?" he asked and Michael nodded.
"Then that's all we need…." Fernando's voice was soft.
"Come on, let's go…" C-Note said while he taken the General and handcuffed him to the stairs, and Emma and Fernando helped get Lincoln to his feet. The sound of Police sirens were getting closer.
They ran down the stairs. Police were pulling up close.
"We're screwed." Lincoln said in a bubbled tone. Michael was anxious he didn't come all this way for this. He couldn't have...
Fernando jumped into his car. "Go Michael!" He said seriously before pulling out into the street blocking the police with his car.
",'Nando!" Katt made grabby hands as Emma pulled her back from the side walk.
They piled into another SUV. Michael was driving toward the warehouse fast as possible. Emma was beside Lincoln but it was tense.
"AH. Ah... AH!" Katt's breath was choppy. "Fuck!" She said punching the seat feeling the pain burning inside her.
Back into the Warehouse they were, it was like everyone was getting arrested. "Michael Katt's contractions are closer, I can't assume, but I am going to think, she's ready to pop, and she needs a hospital…"
"NO!" Katt screamed, but Emma coughed.
"Katt you are thirty one weeks, this baby will need a ventilator, Lincoln you need a…"
"Emma, Shut!" Lincoln said while Emma pinched her nose, she was feeling her addiction calling her. "After this is settled…" he added.
"Lincoln can I have your phone?" Michael said before Lincoln reached in taking it out, he passed it to Michael. "Dial Kellerman!" he thrust the phone at C-note who dialled the number.
"Voice mail!" He said handing it back to Michael.
"You better pull through for us in the end!" Michael snapped into the phone, but C-Note looked freaked.
"Guys, we got company…" he snapped while Emma and Michael were quick to Move Lincoln, C-Note helped protect Katt as he hid her behind a group of boxes.
Emma listened to the gun fire, her eyes going to Lincoln while he held her hand in his.
"I love, you…" he said in slow slurred words, but Emma bit her lip looking to his bleeding.
"Don't Lincoln… Not now…" Emma could hear the firing stop, and Michael had gotten up.
"Stop right there…" he held the gun, she could feel the tension. "Drop it or I'll shot…" He said while walking past them.
"You won't shot your own mother…!" She said, and Emma see the gun lying on the ground picking it up.
"Emma…" Lincoln whispered, but she ignored him slowly getting to her knees.
"Miss fire…" Christina said with a dark laugh, "You was born a Scofield, but you'll die a Burrows!" she snarled.
"OI bitch!" Emma caught her attention quick, "Being a Burrows is a fucking lot better than being related to you!" she aimed the gun to the same place Christina shot Lincoln, the shot ran out making her stare in pain. "Oh and by the way, the baby's Lincoln's Bitch!" She aimed shooting her in the heart and she feel down.
Christina the ginger queen hit the floor. Michael looked shocked, Deer-in-head-lights. Before he swallowed he dropped the gun he was holding. It clacked against the floor. He turned looking to the women who bore him on the floor. He rushed to Emma putting his arms around her. "Emma." He said softly.
"We need to get Lincoln and Katt to a hospital." She said same tone as before she pulled the trigger, She the feeling of everything in her life washing over her. "Now." She finalized it. C-Note stood up. He was holding up with one arm. She was cracker white pasty looking, Disturbing. "Now." Emma repeated. "You get Scylla to Kellerman. Leave this to me." C-Note looked at Michael. Michael nodded. Slowly. His heart was racing a mile a minute. Emma kissed his cheek.
"Go." She nodded. She walked over taking Katt into her arms closely. C-Note helped up Lincoln... They were going to a hospital like it or not. At this point Lincoln and Katt didn't have much say.
It was over, Emma sat down at the table next to Lincoln, he wasn't completely healed, but he was looking much better, Katt sat beside Alex, she looked wiped out, but the little Sarah Em-lee was perfect, well for a baby born ten weeks early, but Katt just wanted this over with to get back to the hospital to see her little girl.
"Ok so you sign these, and there is a brief police interview, and your done…" Paul said, and Emma glanced to the paper work, L.J was now with them his eyes glancing to Emma excited, she was going to be giving birth to a brother or sister for him, he was sixteen but still, better late then never.
Everyone sighed the papers, Lincoln rubbed Emma's thigh under the table before getting up, everyone had signed, it was like a weight had been lifted, and Michael was the first to hand his paperwork, C-Note, Lincoln, Alex handed over Katt's and his, now going back to her, she stayed in the chair being kissed deeply by Alex. Emma handed over L.J's and her own, her eyes going to Paul with a small smile. "Thank you…" she hugged him with a smile, and Paul smiled too.
Fernando was the last to hand his paper work over, "Can I keep the pen…?" He asked and Katt burst into a fit of laughter.
"Sure!" Paul now watched as everyone hugged. Michael hugging Emma and then Lincoln, L.J was making a fuss of Emma, Fernando hugging everyone dancing happy.
"One more thing, Theodore Bagwell, T-Bag, he said he helped in the finding of Scylla, and wants exoneration, we can do that, but it's up to you guys…!"
Michael and Lincoln together brothers, Walked out of that room ten minutes later. Casual, Collected to T-Bag who was waiting. Hand cuffed. "Hi Boys!" T-Bag said brightly seeing them he smiled a best-he-could. Michael and Lincoln stared. "You know I was thinkin' maybe we could ... We could let... Everyone go... Forgive each other." He trailed seeing Lincoln opening his mouth.
"We took a vote." He said seriously. T-Bag looked between Michel and Lincoln. "You're lucky day." Lincoln glanced at Michael who remained blank.
"OH thank you! THANK YOU BOYS!" T-Bag was praying lord saved my SOUL! "We voted on whether not you get a stick of gum for the ride back." Lincoln smirked. Michael handed Lincoln a piece of gum. Lincoln unwrapped it watching confusing wash over T-Bag. Lincoln carefully put it into his mouth. "On the way back to Prison!"
T-Bag looking angry hissed, spitting the gum out. "YOU BASTARDS! I SWEAR you root in hell, you hear me YOU ROOT IN HELL THE BOTH OF YOU!!!" He screamed as guards pulled him away... Michael turned to look at the door. Lincoln followed seeing Emma and Katt both sticking their tongues out and T-Bag.
