"Mother!" Ethan exclaimed, so happy to see her he didn't notice Diane's gun.
"Even better." Diane without hesitation shot Ethan.
"No!" Holly let out a blood curdling scream as she watched her only child get shot.
Ethan stumbled, covering where the bullet hit him in the chest. "Mum, Robert." He pleaded as he fell to the ground.
Robert and Holly wasted no time getting over to him. Diane being the last thing on their mind. Which was a mistake on their part as Diane aimed her gun right at Holly.
Elsewhere in where Holly had been kept.
Laura had met up with Frisco, Felicia and Annie. The four of them heard Holly's scream.
"That's Holly!" Laura made a run towards the direction followed by the others.
Holly's room
"Mum please don't leave me." Ethan said as Holly cradled his head.
"Never, ever. I love you." Holly tried to fight back tears.
Robert had taken off his jacket to try to apply pressure to Ethan's wound, "I'm here too, we aren't leaving you."
"That's what you think." Diane said as she went to pull the trigger.
Before she could Laura ran in and tackled her to the ground, knocking the gun out of her hand. She was confused as Diane was supposed to be good but clearly that was a cover.
Felicia picked up the gun and held it on Diane. "What is going on?"
"Diane shot Ethan. Call an ambulance!" Robert demanded.
Holly stroked Ethan's cheek. "You're going to be okay. You are strong." She told him, trying so hard to hold it together.
Laura got on the phone with 911. She told them exactly where they were.
Annie dropped down near Ethan, Holly and Robert. She didn't want to be in the way but she cared deeply about Ethan. She stayed quiet.
Holly looked up at her. She could tell she was holding back. "You can hold his other hand if you want." She told her before looking back at Ethan.
Ethan looked at Annie. "...Please do." Annie took his hand in hers as he looked back at Holly. "Mum if I don't make it..."
"No! We aren't thinking that way." Holly told him as she wiped her eyes.
"Hear me out please...if I don't stop running away from Robert...be happy." Ethan was trying really hard to fight his pain. "Do you think I'll see dad?" Ethan asked.
Holly's heart broke into a million pieces. She couldn't even respond.
"I know you will." Robert spoke up, knowing Ethan needed reassurance.
"About that..." Diane started, Felicia still had the gun on her.
"Diane shut up!" Robert shot her a look, now wasn't the time for Ethan to find out he wasn't biologically Luke's.
"So you are going to let him die thinking..." Diane started and Laura covered her mouth, she wasn't sure what she was trying to say but she knew Robert didn't want her to say it and that was good enough for her.
"Thank you." Robert said as he looked at Ethan. "You are going to be okay, you have a lot of your mother in you."
Ethan smiled, looking up at Holly. "I do." He said before losing consciousness.
Holly couldn't hold back to tears at all.
"He is still breathing. He's a fighter." Robert tried to reassure them.
The paramedics showed up and went in there, they worked on Ethan.
"He's got a pulse, he's fighting but we need to get him to general hospital." The EMT told Holly.
"I'll go with him." Holly said.
Robert wanted to be with them, he had been denied being Ethan's known father for years. He couldn't let him down now. "I'm coming too."
The EMTs okayed it, especially seeing Holly wasn't in the best condition herself.
Jordan and Mac showed up to find out what was going on.
"She shot Ethan as a way to punish Holly and me. Look I will tell you the rest later, Ethan and Holly need me." Robert held Holly's arms to steady her if she needed it while they walked out with the paramedics.
Mac felt uneasy about Frisco and Felicia working together. "What is he doing here?" Mac asked Felicia.
"Really Mac, all this going on and you are worried about Frisco?" Felicia was annoyed. She handed him the gun as Jordan cuffed Diane.
"You know I'll be out before you know it." Diane grinned.
"Don't count on that." Laura stated as she went over to Annie. "Come on I'll take you to the hospital." She didn't know what her relationship was with Ethan but could tell she cared deeply for him. Annie went with her.
