Two Weeks Earlier….
Cosima stood outside Bubbles a while after Delphine left, feeling more confused then she already was. What just happened?
"Give your sisters my love"
Cosima stood staring long after the car disappeared from sight. Her hands getting cold and nose slowly losing feeling.
*BUZZ* *BUZZ*
Her phone buzzed and the displayed showed Shay's photo on the screen.
"Shay?"
"Hey Cosima, Delphine was here and she said some stuff. Don't worry, she didn't do anything crazy but I think that we need to talk. Do you want to come over later?"
"I'm at a family thing now, I'll try and make it later."
"Okay, let me know when you are on your way."*car engine in background*
"Shay, where are you?"
"Just at home"
"I thought I heard…"
"See you later tonight" Shay quickly interrupts and hangs up.
Cosima stands there looking at her phone and turns when she hears the door open beside her.
"Hey Cos, what's goin' on?" Sarah asks as she walks out the door
"Delphine was just here but she left and she said to give my sisters her love"
"That's weird, what else did she say?"
"She wants me to keep the genome and Kendall safe."
"Safe from what?"
"She didn't say"
"What are you gonna do?"
"I don't know, keep it safe from whoever is trying to do whatever it is that Delphine is worried about"
"How? The last time you tried that…"
"I DONT KNOW SARAH! okay, I don't know" Cosima cries at Sarah as the tears start to stream down her face.
"It's gonna be okay Cos. We'll figure this out" Sarah wraps her arms around Cosima as she cries.
"How?" a soft whisper escapes Cosima as she leans in Sarah's embrace.
"Together."
The two keep an arm around each other as they return inside to their family.
Sarah goes back to sit with Art and Siobhan and Cosima sits with Scott and Felix.
"Are you okay?" Scott leans over to Cosima and asks gently
"I will be, there's just some crazy shit going on that I need to sort out."
"Is something going on with Delphine?"
"Why do you ask that?" Cosima asks hurriedly
"I got a message from DYAD saying that I'm to report to someone strange tomorrow."
"When did you get this message?" Cosima's concern is heightened.
"Not too long, maybe 5 minutes. It was while you were outside."
"Can I see, Scott?" Cosima reaches her hand over to Scott.
Report to Dr. Nealon's Office
9am sharp tomorrow morning
Due to Dr. Cormier extended leave
You will now report all research to this office
"I have to go" Cosima yells as drops Scott's phone to the table and rushes out the door of Bubbles without a backward glance. Cosima makes it to the street to Shay's yellow bug she is borrowing before she pulls out her phone to call Delphine's cell.
*RINGRING*
"The person you have called is unavailable at the moment, please leave a short 10 second message after the tone."
*Beep*
"Delphine, it's Cosima. I need you to call me the second you get this, please call. I'm worried about you. Let me know you are okay."
Cosima jumped in the car and speed off to the only place she could think that Delphine would be. The DYAD Institute.
The 20 minutes it took Cosima to arrive at DYAD may have been 15 minutes less then any other time this drive would be taken but it seemed like it was 5 hours long.
Cosima parked in the first available spot in the carpark under DYAD and raced to the elevators when she saw Delphine's car, quickly changing directions towards the vehicle, she ran passed a white sedan when she tripped and fell face first into the pavement.
"Shit!" Cosima exclaimed looking back to see what it was that caused her fall and there she was Delphine, lying on her side blood pooling on the ground. Bright red staining the creamy concrete with a slow trickle from Delphine's abdomen.
"No! No, Delphine! Shit, Delphine. Delphine, can you hear me?" Cosima screams at the lifeless body as she shakes her shoulders in an effort to wake Delphine. Cosima places pressure on Delphine's wound in an attempt to stop anymore blood leaving the french women's body. Cosima places as much pressure as she can on her love's body without causing any further damage as she grabs her phone out of her back pocket.
"God damn it, pick up the phone!"
*Click*
"Cosima?"
"Scott, I need you to get to DYAD as fast as you can and bring help. Hurry, it's Delphine, she's hurt. Hurry, Scott."
"Okay, I'm coming right now"
*Click*
Cosima holds Delphine's body as close to her as she can while still applying pressure to the bullet can feel the blood soaking into her clothes despite the tight hold she has on Delphine.
"Delphine, don't leave me please. I love you Delphine, I love you so you can't leave me like this."
"Cosima?…." a faint whisper escapes Delphine's lips as she slowly opens her eyes to look for the source of the voice she longs to hear.
"Delphine, it's me. I'm here, you're going to be okay. Help is coming."
"Je t'aime pour toujours Cosima." Delphine whispers softly while gazing into Cosima's eyes and slowly her eyes roll back and her eyelids close with a gentle sigh.
"don't leave me, stay with me, I love you. Delphine, stay with me. You'll be okay, help is coming" Cosima repeats over and over as she holds Delphine closer and wishes that help will be there soon.
All Delphine can feel is Cosima all around her, her head cradled against Cosima's neck, Cosima's legs curled behind her legs, Cosima's arms wrapped around her middle, her hands pressing into her side holding the pain away and her mouth slowly moving against her ear, whispering the words of comfort again and again "don't leave me, stay with me, I love you. Delphine, stay with me.You'll be okay, help is coming." These are the last things Delphine feels before the darkness consumes with the faint wailing of sirens in the distance.
Je t'aime pour toujours= i love you forever
