Chapter 6

Stone?

Stone's P.O.V.

Five minutes ago . . .

I ran out onto the deck after we sustained another hit. I stared at the unknown machines that were destroying my ship and more importantly, the ship my wife was currently on. The machine fired more of the bottle-shaped bombs into the Sampson. But, instead of one or two, this time there had to be at least a dozen bombs imbedded into the ship.

I stared at the John Paul Jones and prayed to God that Amy was okay. My eyes found a lone figure on the deck of the John Paul Jones as the bombs exploded in sync. I was flung overboard from the force of the explosion, headfirst. I tried to right myself so that I landed feet first, but, my shoulder, the one I had dislocated all those years ago, hit the side of the ship.

I screamed in pain as I heard a clear snap and felt warm blood stain my uniform. I hit the water on my uninjured side, thank God. I tried to focus to get back to the surface, my shoulder screaming in pain. As I broke the surface of the water, I looked around at my surroundings. I was about 100 feet away from the wreckage.

"Think Stone, c'mon!" I muttered to myself. "Think, think, think! I won't be able to swim to the life raft and I won't be able to tread water forever." I thought. Then, I remembered all the safety stuff they had gone over every day at the academy. I righted myself so that I was floating on my back.

"Now what?" I thought," If I don't get out of the water in five minutes, I'm sure a shark will be eating me for dinner."

I heard a motorized boat and turned my head to see Alex's boat roaming the water. "STONE!" Alex shouted.

"Alex, I'm over here!" I shouted.

"Stone?"

I saw the boat come alongside me and Alex reaching for me. "Grab my hand with your uninjured arm and I'll pull you in," Alex stated. I reached my arm out and felt Alex pull me in. "Push it Beast!"

Alex pulled me into an awkward hug, due to the fact that one on my shoulders was bleeding profusely and I was starting to see stars. "Stone, Stone listen to me. Stay with me!" Alex shouted. I saw tunnel vision and tried to ignore the throbbing in my shoulder. Then everything went black.

Amy's P.O.V.

"AMELIA!" I heard someone shout at me. I ran toward the voice, dodging others standing around on the deck before I saw Alex and Beast carrying a figure out of a boat. Wait . . . Stone! He was alive!

"Amy, his shoulder's really screwed up," Alex told me. I looked at his shoulder, the one he had dislocated, where a few pieces of cloth were trying to stop the bleeding. I looked to see other officers standing around.

"Help him," I ordered," and place him on a bed down in the med-bay." Alex walked to follow the men but I stopped him. "You're running this ship now, Hopper." I ordered.

"But-"

"No buts, Hopper. You and I are the highest ranking officers fully operational, and I'm needed in the med-bay." With that I started to run towards the med-bay but Alex stopped me.

"Please, don't let him die," he whispered.

I looked up at Alex," I wouldn't dream of it."

By the time I got down to the med-bay, they had stopped the bleeding and cleaned up Stone's smaller cuts on his face. I sighed and talked with the nurse who was currently looking at some x-rays. "How is he?" I asked.

"He broke his collarbone, broke his shoulder, and has a high amount of tissue damage."

I sucked in a breath," I'll get him bandaged up immediately." I grabbed some bandages and gauze and wrapped up his shoulder with the resources we had. By the time I had successfully placed his arm into a sling. I noticed Stone's eyes had met mine. I placed my hand onto his cheek and rubbed circles with my thumb.

"Amelia . . ." he whispered. I looked him in the eyes and felt my own filling with tears. I kissed his forehead before cradling his head in mine, letting a few tears fall. I felt his free arm on my back, pulling me into a hug. We just sat there for a minute, forgetting the chaos and terror that filled the air around us.

He pecked my lips," Go tend to the other wounded, I'll be fine." As much as I didn't want to leave, I moved onto the next patient after giving his some pain reliever. By the time everyone in the med-bay was in stable condition, Alex had come and was talking with Stone.

As I walked over, I saw Stone trying to sit up. If he did that, he could easily reopen the wounds. I gently pushed his chest back down. "Amy. I. Have. To. Get. Up," he struggled. If he wasn't injured, he could have easily overpowered me.

"Stone, if you get back up, you'll reopen the wounds."

"But-"

"No buts, even though you are at a more senior position, as my patient I override any of your orders. You are staying right here, got it?" I ordered.

Stone sighed but stopped struggling and Alex left. I looked down at Stone and my stern look melted away. I kissed him, and he kissed back. I broke off the kiss," Let me change, first. Stay. Put." Stone rolled his eyes but muttered a yes. I kissed his nose and walked toward the locker room.

I opened my locker and grabbed a fresh uniform. After quickly changing, I closed my locker which opened the locker next to me. This always happens because all the doors are broken. Luckily, nothing is usually stolen.

Anyways, I picked up the box that had fallen out of the locker. "Tampons," I muttered. I placed the box back into the locker and was about to shut it when I realized something. "I'm late," I gasped," two weeks late." I shut the locker and passed the floor length mirror in the locker room. I lifted my shirt and stared at my abdomen.

Was I pregnant?

A.N. Another cliff hanger! Stone lives because nobody said he should die! Thanks again to everyone who favorited the story, reviewed, and put this on their alert subscription. And especially thanks to anybody who favortied me.
