Spokane, Washington - Anzen

Without a warning, Osa had inhaled an immense amount of air. She hyperventilated in bed, her skin pale, and her fear came covering her instantly. Right away, Lin and Tom heard her painful groans and burst through the bedroom door to care for their friend. "Osa, it's okay! You're home."

"My baby." She mumbled, feeling Tom's hand on her back as she sat up in bed. "Is it okay?" She shuddered, staring into Lin's eyes while her skin was bruised and badly beaten.

Lin couldn't speak at all. She set her hands on Osa's shoulders. "We don't know..." she lied. "Donnie and his brothers went to Seattle."

"Seattle?" She asked, feeling the pain subside for only a moment. "Why? Why did they leave?"

"They went to get you medication. It's a miracle you're awake!" Tom explained. "They'll be back soon. But we don't know how long they'll be."

Osita breathed out, looking down at her baby bump under the blanket. She doesn't know the baby is dead inside her just yet. But she sensed something was wrong. "Something happened, right?" She whispered to Tom and Lin. "My baby."

Lin hesitated to nod, but she gave Osa an answer that something was definitely wrong. "Osa," She tried to begin, knowing that this terrible news may not sit well with Osa. Any mother who is expecting a baby would be devastated to hear about the news of their child not being able to see another minute of their life. "The baby... it didn't make it. You and Vincent were so badly injured, the abuse k...killed your baby."

Her eyes are still, waiting to see if Lin was joking, but who would joke about this sort of situation? Osa blinked in disbelief, shaking her head as a single tear fell from her left eye. She knew who did this. Alpha wanted to attack her, and in the end, her people killed Osa's baby. Osita's pointed ears rattled in slight anger, unhappy with who had done this. "Where is she?"

"Who?" Tom asked.

"The Alpha. Where is that bitch?" Osa questioned aggressively.

"Now, now, Osa." He says to her, trying to keep her calm. "I understand you're upset about this. But you are in no condition to walk around, let alone fight."

"She did this to me. She allowed it to happen." Osa's voice trembled.

Lin knew Osa wanted to get back at Alpha, but first, Osa needed to heal. No one knew how long it would take for her to recover from this. They also had to get the baby out of Osa before it began decomposition. "Osa, the baby can't stay inside of you. Once the guys return with the medication, you need to deliver your stillborn."

Right, right... she had to do that. The had part. As she tried to process this news, Osa could feel her back and abdomen getting tighter, like someone was squeezing her insides with iron fists. She inhaled deeply, leaning back on one of her hands on the bed to release pressure. "Ow, ow, ow, ow..." She whimpered, her chin pointed to the ceiling. "I need Donnie here."

"I know, darling." Tom says to her. "Looks like you're having contractions. Soon, the baby will have to be delivered. My guess, at least three hours."

"I'll have to get Duke to radio Leo." Lin got up from the bed. "I'll be back."

"AH!" Osa shouted suddenly, gripping Tom's hand. "Tom, I need Donnie here!" She breathed erratically. Inside her, she felt something was wrong, different, and unsure about what it about to happen next. Osa couldn't understand why she was having so much pain in her pelvis. Her body wanted the stillborn out of her, but she isn't able to do this on her own. She badly wants her husband with her, but he is on the other side of the state.
