I am so sorry for taking so long. A combination of school, no creative juices, and no time is a very bad combination. I am hoping that this summer that I will have more time to write and finish all my stories.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter but be warned, it is a very sad chapter.
Chapter 25:
"I need a doctor!" Killian screamed, carrying Emma in his arms. She had passed out once they drove into the hospital parking lot.
"What is wrong sir?" A nurse ran up to him with a stretcher.
"I found her in the bathroom, covered in blood. She is pregnant." Killian said, laying Emma down on the stretcher.
"How far along is she?" Another nurse asked him as other nurses and doctors started checking on Emma.
"Um, a little over two months." Killian said, his hands running through his hair over and over.
"Ok, we are going to take her to the emergency room to run tests. Is there someone you can call?" The nurse handed him a stack of paperwork.
"Um, I can call someone." Killian said, kissing Emma's head before they took her away. He fell into a chair, the tears falling from his eyes.
"What the hell happened?" Graham yelled, storming into the hospital with Ruby following close behind. Killian stood up, only to fall onto the ground after Graham punched him across the jaw.
"Graham!" Ruby yelled.
"You had one job! I told you to protect her!" Graham screamed, kicking Killian in the ribs. A security guard grabbed Graham and took him off to the side.
"Killian, are you ok?" Ruby rushed towards him, helping him sit up. Nurses rushed towards him but Killian waved them off.
"I am fine, I am fine."
"Where is Emma? How is she? How is the baby?" Ruby asked, passing him an ice pack that one of the nurses gave her.
"They took her to the emergency room. She yelled my name and I ran into the bathroom. She was sitting in a pool of blood, so we rushed here. She passed out as soon as we got to the hospital."
"She will be ok, she is tough." Ruby hugged him, Killian crying into her shoulder.
"Graham is right, I had one job to protect her and I didn't."
"Don't you dare start thinking like that. There was nothing you could have done. There were no warning signs or anything." Ruby said, looking at him. Killian sighed and started to relax.
"I better go check on Graham. Go get coffee, keep your hands busy." Ruby said, standing up to go look for Graham. Killian nodded and finished filling out the paperwork, leaving most of it blank because he didn't really know her past medical history.
"Graham, you are a complete idiot." Ruby said, leading him out to the car.
"He deserved it." Graham mumbled, getting into the car.
"He had no control of it. Even if he was there with her in the bathroom, he couldn't have stopped it."
"I told her to stay with me, I could have been there for her." Graham said, looking down at his hands.
"That isn't your child though. Killian stepped up to the plate and he is the father. You are her friend, which means sticking by her and not punching her boyfriend unless she asks." Ruby stated, starting the car.
"Just take me home." Graham growled, he had been banned from the hospital so he just had to lean on Ruby for any information on Emma.
"Killian Jones." A doctor called into the waiting room.
"Yes, right here, right here." Killian jumped up, getting flustered as he collected his things.
"Emma lost a lot of blood but you brought her in soon enough so we were able to save her."
"Is the baby ok?" Killian asked, nervous that the doctor didn't start with that.
"We were unable to save the baby, I am so sorry."
"No, no, no." Killian collapsed against a wall, his whole world crashing around him.
"Does she know?" Killian asked, coming to his senses.
"She has not woken up yet but I can take you to her so you can be there when she wakes up."
"Thank you, that would great."
"Graham?" Ruby knocked on the door of his apartment.
"Any news?" Graham asked the second he opened the door.
"Emma is doing good; she is sleeping right now." Ruby said.
"And the baby?" Ruby couldn't even say anything, she just started to cry. Graham just fell back against a wall and slide down the floor.
"Killian?" Emma whispered, waking Killian from his nap.
"Emma, love." Killian grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"What happened? How is the baby?" Emma asked, her other hand going for her stomach.
"Emma, I have something to tell you."
