They spent time at there other park, Eli had a good time, at twelve thirty they left to go to the hospital. He fell asleep in the car , Emmett carried him in, Abby was waiting for him where he had to get tested.
"Im sorry " Abby signed, Bay looked at her and she put her arms out, they hugged. She could only imagine how it would feel to have a sick baby in the hospital, for the week Eli was in nicu she spent at least eighteen hours a day there when she was released.
Her name was Evangeline Ann Hollis, Abby and Chance got married while she was pregnant, they did not find out about her condition till she was three weeks old, only then did they find out that she was Emmett's.
Eva had AB negative blood, and both her and Chance were A positive, so they knew . She had to have four transfusions of platelets, they were waiting to start her on the medicine when she was four months but she had an allergic reaction and they knew Emmett had to be called.
The nurse came to get Emmett, he gave Eli to Bay and kissed her. She said they would test him and take platelets, he said that he did not care, to do what ever they had to do.
He was in there for two hours, the Dr came out and said that the marrow was not a match, but he looked at Eli. " He is her half brother, same blood type can he be tested" Bay asked. Abby was in tears, "I want her to be ok, we will see if he is a match then we will figure out what we want to do".
He was asleep while they took the blood, when they were done Emmett was walking out, he was crying." I am so sorry, I hoped that I could help her", he signed. Eli was waking up and he saw the bandaid on him, he looked at Bay, " your son's a match".
He was shocked how could Bay have him tested with out him knowing, " we will go talk to the Dr and see what it takes for Eli to be the doner, Abby knows I had him tested but not the results, we will make the decision together ".
They went talk with the Dr, Eli was old enough there would be five days of shots then it would be taken. They asked about the side affects and how painful it would be, once they felt like they had all the facts they left.
They had not spoken, he drove while Bay was on the phone with his Dr in KC. When they got back to the room he just sat down with his eyes closed, they could have gone to see Eve but he did not want to, he really needed to think about taking from his son to give to his daughter.
Eli was playing on the floor in the living room, " his Dr said that he could not find a medical reason why we should not do it, and I think that we should try him on the shots for the first day and see how it goes ".
He closed his eyes again, " you are so strong, how can you even stand to be around me, I was weak I let you down".
She went sit on his lap, " when you first told me about the baby I thought that I would die it hurt so bad, but a few minutes later I realized that if I had listened to you we would not be in this situation, so understand that nothing is going to keep us apart".
" Call them we will try tomorrow, but if he has a bad reaction we are stopping, I just can't imaging hurting my son". They went have dinner at there favorite restaurant, one of the waitresses recognized them, she was so happy about Eli.
When they got back to the hotel she gave him a bath and put him to bed, Emmett was sitting on the couch he looked so lost again. " Want to have a shower with me" she signed, he looked at her and started crying," how can you be so strong through this you should hate me".
She took his hand and brought him to the bathroom and put him standing in front of the mirror, " that person you see is the same person I fell in love with all of those years ago, we have had problems but I never stopped, we will make it through this".
They took a shower then went to bed, " I never want to go to Texas again, so many bad memories can we elope somewhere else" he signed. She smiled "how about we get married on Eli's first birthday, we can have it in our park, I think that would make it special". He kissed her, "that is two months away, you said that we could not make love till are honeymoon , please don't say that you still mean that".
"Of course i mean it, do you think that you can wait that long" she asked. He was just looking at her, "no way baby I need you now".
"I think I can make an exception", she signed.
