"Grace, stay with me! Help will be here soon... It has to be!" Arizona cries.
She tries to rouse you, you struggle to regain consciousness, and when you do, it's only for a few seconds at a time.
"Grace! Please say something, anything!" Arizona starts to panic further.
She tries to stem your bleed as best she can, but you have a multitude of other injuries, some of which will be fatal if left untreated.
You are awake enough to realise how much pain is coursing through your body, it's taking all of your strength to flutter your eyes open. You see Arizona holding your baby and crying softly into his hair.
"I'm okay" You mumble, still gasping for air.
Arizona looks down and starts to cry.
"Grace, I'm holding our baby! You did it babe! I'm so proud of you, please hang on, please..." Arizona sobs.
"Arizona, I love you, your the best thing that's ever happened to me..." You wheeze.
"Grace, I love you! You need to stay awake baby, please please keep your eyes open, I can fix this, I just need some damn help!" Arizona wails.
"Arizona, it's okay." You grasp her hand weakly and look up at her. She gently picks up your baby and lays down next to you.
"YOU ARE NOT GIVING UP! Not now Grace, look, this is our baby Grace! We can't survive without you, I can't survive without you! Do you hear me, you do not get to give up!" Arizona states shakily.
Arizona takes your hand and shuffles closer to you. You take in the new baby smell and instantly crumble, Arizona cradling your baby is a sight that could keep you alive forever. You let go of Arizona's hand and gently stroke your baby's soft head with your finger.
You suddenly feel a sharp pain in your chest, it remains constant and isn't easing. You start to cough violently, you can't sit up to clear your chest, and even though Arizona tried to move some of the objects off your chest, it wasn't enough. You heave one last time, and cough up masses of bright red blood.
"Arizona?!" You croak.
She sets your baby down and rushes to your side. She tries to wipe some of the blood away and yet again, tries to move the objects off of you.
"It's no use Arizona, stop fighting, just lay with me..." You wheeze.
"No Grace! This isn't the end, this isn't how we finish!" Arizona cries as she tries to haul the planks of wood and furniture off you.
"Arizona.... please..." You gasp. You reach out shakily and grasp tightly onto her hand. You look her straight into her bright blue eyes, "I love you Arizona Robbins..." you say weakly.
Arizona picks up your baby and holds him closely, crying into him, she places him next to your head and she gets down onto the floor and takes a place next to you. You can hear him snuffling gently into Arizona's jacket, his small hand curled around her finger. Arizona sobs into your shoulder, your breathing is becoming slower and more irregular by the second and even talking is becoming laboured.
"I, I, I'm not in pain anymore Arizona... What's happening?" You croak.
Arizona sits up, obviously alarmed, and she looks devastated.
"It means you're safe Grace, we're here, we're not going anywhere okay, just try to relax." Arizona weeps.
"I, I have a name Arizona, T-T-Timothy, after your brot..." You lose consciousness before you can finish.
