AN: So, I don't really know what I should do for this chapter, so, yeah, um, just playing it by year here people, or whatever pops into my head while I am writing. That has a tendency to happen to me, A LOT!
OMG...I am so sorry everyone, I uploaded this chapter in Doc Manager, but totally forgot to uploaded it in Manage Stories. I am soooooooooo sorry guys. I have no idea what must of been going through my head at the time.
Chapter 4 IS in progress.
Hope I didn't make you guys wait too long.
Disclaimer: Ha, they mine? Yeah, I um, I ain't that lucky, yet, of course. Also I tend to forget disclaimers quite a lot actually, so this is goes for ALL of them for this story. I will still add them, when I remember too though.
Kate Beckett let out a panic, madding, saddening scream that nobody has ever heard come from her, right as Castle reached the ambulance.
Seeing multiple paramedics and ambulance and gurney's Castle laid Kate down on one than Emily on another right next to her. Paramedics rushed over to Kate and Emily, going over vitals and breathing, their main concern being Emily though. A couple of paramedics tried to wheel Emily away and to the hospital which only caused more of a panic attack out of Kate. "No, I'm her mom, I'm staying with her, bring her back to me." Kate said as she tried getting up and going after Emily. "Kate no, you will be going to the hospital also just let them take Emily now." Castle said as he pushed her back down on to the gurney and kept her down as they strapped her in and she was still fighting against them.
"Stay with her Castle, please for me. I trust you." She said right as they started wheeling her away too. Quickly he swung around to Emily's ambulance to see them about to shut the doors and take her, right as Castle slipped his hand through and pulled the doors back and jumped in. "I ride too," he said, voice stern, strong, and he had that look on his face that clearly said, "Don't even think about messing with me right now." The paramedics only shared a look before they both nodded their head in agreement. Both knowing that she is a minor who slipped into the light, and that this man was leaving no room for argument. Taking hold of Emily's hand he held on to her for dear life while he slowly strokes his hand across her cheek and all round her face.
"Uh, Sir?" One of the paramedics asked a male while the other was a female. The male had shady blond hair, dark chocolate brown eyes, perfectly manicured nails, and neatly waxed eyebrows. All while the female had plucked eyebrows, as you could tell that she missed some, puffed out bottom lip, with a tin top lip, brown hair with hints of red highlights in them, and perfectly slim nose. In any other circumstance he would be using his "ruggedly handsome features," and charm to pick her up, but now was not the time. It would probably never be "the time" for him again, not after this evening at least. Both wearing white dark denim jeans and a dark blue top with the symbols and bold capitalized FDNY lettering on it, he had his hair combed to the side, while she had it up in a neatly, tightly combed back bun.
Realizing that he had yet to answer him yet, he turned back into the conversation and raised one of his eyebrows up, as if to ask what? "We know that this must be a very hard time for you," Castle had to bite back a scuff at that part; they probably had no idea what the heck he was going through. "But we need to know if she hurt herself anywhere else then we can see evident on her." The female paramedic answered while looking him over two and giving him an, "Oh, I know who you are, and I think it would be best if we were to talk in private later. Just to make sure you are okay, ya know just to make sure there wasn't any damage done to your body." While giving him a dazzling smile, 'probably her pick up line', he thought to himself. His thoughts were confirmed when the male paramedic rolled his eyes at her.
Turning back to the male paramedic, whose name tag read John, he answered the question with as much clarification as he could. "She got scared when a piece of debris fell next to her when she was hiding underneath the bed, and got startled which made her jump and scrape her back in the process." He finished up with looking down at Emily and praying to any god that was listening that she and that drop-dead-gorgeous Mom of hers would be alright. Looking out the windows of the back of the motor vehicle he could see that they were passing the precinct now, and should be at the hospital in the next ten minutes.
The female paramedic, whose name tag read Janet, phones ring. Castle is about to go through the roof until he realizes that it is just another paramedic on the phone from the ambulance that is taking Kate to the hospital. Apparently she started to threat bodily harm if she didn't get an update on Emily STAT. 'That's my girl!' Castle thinks to himself, 'wait… What? My girl? Get a grip of yourself RICHARD.' He all but yells to his inner thoughts, only to have his heart argue back to him as an argument breaks out inside of his head.
He is brought back from is thoughts when he hears an alarming sound coming from the other side of the vehicle. It takes his head a minute to register what is going on as they arrive at the hospital, and he realizes that Emily just flat-lined. 'But flat-lined means, her heart stopped beating.' He hears him tell himself when it all registers in his head. They get her out of the ambulance and he is still holding her hand as Kate is unloaded out of the ambulance, and something has changed with her. Everything is happening to fast for his brain to comprehend and understand it.
All he knows is that there is a nice, sweet, older lady who is dressed in those weird nurse outfits with the cartons all over them, that makes him sick just looking at them because it makes him have to be forced to except reality. Something he seriously doesn't want to do right now.
"Son, take a deep breath Son, deep breaths. They are both going to be okay, your daughter and the mother of your daughter are going to be okay. Just let the doctors do what they have to do. Let her hand go Son, let her hand go." The little old lady tells him, whose name tag reads Mary Ann. He's in a trance doesn't even know what is going on all he knows it that, somebody, maybe even more than just one somebody, is trying to pry his hand from Emily. And he is not about to let that happen until he hears her, she's calling for him.
He turns around and there she is, she looks off, like something worse has changed in her. He lets Emily's hand go and runs over to her, he can tell as he gets closer that something is terribly wrong. And maybe, just maybe, if he wasn't such in a trance before he might have heard what the nurse and doctors had said. It's not until he knows for a fact that they took Emily away and that she is in good hands, does he jump up on the side of Kate's gurney and grab her hand as they start wheeling her in. And that's when he sees it, understands why she is on the verge of tears and is still crying for him, or is she crying out in pain, both he decides.
He tries to calm her down shush her, but there is not much you can do for the love of your life when they have at least a half a foot long piece of debris in their side. He hears her cries out in pain one more time, and takes his prying gaze away her side and up to her eyes. All he can hope for is that she is his last image before her eyes shut close and her breathing stops, once and for all today.
AN: WOW… um okay then. This is NOT how I was going to write this chapter but it sorta just started to take on a life of its own. Hope you like it and first five people to review get a sneak peek for the next chapter. BTW this is NOT me begging for more reviews, this is just me being nice and letting you guys have a sneak peek. So…thank my brain and hands as it just typed this challenge and second half of the chapter without my knowledge.
P.S. Normally I hate it when authors do this with chapters, end them so shortly with like, NOTHING in them. But I felt like it was necessary this one time.
