Ch. 9
Two weeks passed since Lucas told Sabrina and Felix about Julian Jerome being his biological father. The entire ordeal had brought them closer than before especially between Lucas and Felix. They finally decided that they would date exclusively. Lucas also started spending time with Sam, Danny, and Kiki. He had yet to decide whether or not he would pursue a relationship a Julian. Especially since the Jerome vs. Corinthos war was still going on. It seemed like something was happening every other week between them. Unfortunately, once again someone would be a casualty of the latest mob war.
Sabrina had finished her shift and headed over to the 10th floor because Patrick wanted to talk to her. "Hey, look who it is. Nurse Santiago, won't you come back to our floor. Your presence is missed." Epiphany greeted Sabrina. Sabrina walked over to the nurses' station and was surprised when Epiphany hugged her. Patrick was talking to a patient when he noticed her. "I miss you guys but I love it in Peds Epiphany." Sabrina said when they pulled apart. "I understand, you found the area you like. How are the little ones?" She asked. "They're ok but I'm starting to feel the effects of getting bigger." Sabrina said placing her hands on her belly. Epiphany chuckled. "How far along are you?" "I'll be 5 months in a couple of days." Sabrina replied. Patrick walked over to them. "Hey Sabrina, are you done with your shift?" Patrick asked. "Yes I am and I'm tired." Sabrina stated. "Can I steal her away from you Epiphany?" Patrick asked. "Yea you can. It was nice seeing you Nurse Santiago and just remember it'll all be worth it when you hold those babies in your arms." Epiphany stated. Sabrina smiled and nodded at her in agreement. Patrick led her over a bench and gestured for her to sit. "How are you feeling?" He asked her. "I'm ok, just tired. What'd you want to talk to me about" Sabrina asked. "I know that your appointment is coming up. I was wondering if I could tag along?" Patrick asked her. "Uh yea sure, I guess. Are you sure you want to come though? They're pretty boring." Sabrina said. He noticed she was always trying to give him a way out of doing things that pertained to her. "Yes I'm sure Sabrina. I know that Felix or Lucas usually goes with you but considering that I'm the father our twins, I want to be able to show my support if it's ok with you of course." Patrick explained. Sabrina nodded in understanding. "Ok Patrick. You can come. Its next week. I'll call or text you with the details."
Sabrina stood up to leave when she saw Lucas rush in. He was floated to this floor today and since he dealt with trauma, she knew that someone in critical condition was about to come in. The elevators opened and the EMT's started giving report about the patient. Sabrina walked closer to see who it was. She could feel Patrick behind her. Time stood still as she gasped when she realized who it was. "Felix!" She yelled. Sabrina rushed over to the gurney he was laying on. "Felix!" She cried several times. She felt Patrick grab her. "What happened to him? Felix please wake up!" She yelled. "Get him in exam room one." Lucas barked. Sabrina was about to rush in when Lucas grabbed her. "Let me go Lucas! He needs me! I'm his family." She said hysterically. "Sabrina stop it! You have to wait out here so we can help him! Patrick stay with her please." Lucas ordered.
Patrick led Sabrina to where they were. "Sabrina?" He called out but she didn't answer. He grasped her shaking hands in his big ones. She looked up at him now. Tears were streaming down her face. He pulled her into his arms and whispered comforting things in her ear. She didn't respond at all. Patrick was getting worried about her. She suddenly pulled back and said "I have to call Taylor. She doesn't know that Felix is here like this. I should call her." She whispered. She pulled out her phone but her hands were still shaking. Patrick took the phone from her and looked for Taylor's name in the contacts. He dialed the number and spoke to Taylor. Sabrina saw Lucas come out and ran over to him. "How is he Lucas? Is he ok?" She asked in a scared tone. Lucas took a deep breath and held Sabrina by her arms. He was bracing her for what he was about to say. "Sabrina, Felix was shot in the chest. He's stable for now. I'm going to have to operate on him to take the bullet out." As he told her, Sabrina shook her in disbelief at what she was hearing. "I want to see him Lucas. Please let me see him." Sabrina insisted. "Ok but be quick." Lucas stated. Sabrina nodded and wiped her tears before she went in. She took a deep breath. The tears immediately came back when she saw the state that Felix was in. There was blood everywhere and he was so still. Sabrina walked over to him and reached for his hand and placed it on her face. "Felix please come back to us. Please d-don't leave me. You are the closest thing to family to me. You've always fought for me and anyone you cared about. Now you need to fight for yourself. Please." Sabrina pleaded. Lucas and Patrick walked in and found Sabrina sobbing. Patrick immediately gathered her in his arms and held onto her as Lucas and Elizabeth wheeled Felix out. Sabrina followed Lucas immediately. "Please Lucas, save him." She said in a small voice. Lucas nodded and they were gone. "Come on, let's go sit and wait."
