A legends son

chapter 9

previously on a legend's son.

Meredith rushes into the hospital after hearing what happened to Derek. "What the hell happened?" She yells swiftly walking up to the rest of the surgeons, Bailey, Owen, Lexie, and Mark. "Semi-truck hit him on his way home, it doesn't look good," Mark says in a remorseful voice. "Meredith, be prepared for the worst, I'm sure you understand what a brain bleed can do and that's what we're pretty sure this is. We were waiting for you to get here since he's stable." Bailey says wiping her former intern's tears off her scared face. You can see the pain in Meredith's eyes while she is watching the love of her life dying in that hospital bed. Bea and Addison come into the hospital room. Quietly, they sit down in chairs across the room from Meredith. Tears are streaming down Bea's face, afraid to lose her father. Addison on the other hand has a straight face and looks as if she's bored. Meredith gets up to let Bea sit by Derek and talk to him. Beatrice POV: "Dad?" I whisper, tears streaming down my face. I can't believe my dad might die today. I can't be stuck with Addison. Don't get me wrong, I love living with my brother, but Addison is... difficult. "Daddy I love you. Please don't die I need you." I cry in a quiet tone. That's when I feel him squeeze my hand. "Dad?" I watch his eyes open. "Oh my god, you're alive!" I cry, hugging him. He hugs me back but I can tell he's weak. "Do you need anything? I can get you food, or a drink, or-" he cuts me off. "Bea, I'm fine. Everything's gonna be just fine." He tells me, stroking my hair. "Don't ever scare me like that again!" I joke. "Not planning on it." He whispers. Later...I wake up when I hear the monitors flatlining, and I know that can't be good. I jump off of the bed and shout at doctor Bailey. I hear Bailey say something terrible. "Time of death 21:43"Beginning of ch 50 of a Legend's daughter. POV Beatrice:I wake up from my terrible nightmare, screaming and clutching the unfamiliar bed I'm in. I fumble and grab my phone. I tap on the contact on my phone that says: "dad". It rings 2 times before the other end is picked up. "Hello? Bea? You okay?" His frantic voice was very relieving to hear, and a long breath was exhaled when I heard it. "Yeah. I'm fine. Bad dream. I just needed to hear your voice. I love you." I say, trying not to cry. "I love you too, Beatrice." He says, slightly confused. I hung up the phone and wander out of the strange room I woke up in. Because of the pictures on the wall, I realize that I was still at Leo and Nova's house. I nervously go down the stairs where I see the two and their dad eating. "Well, good morning." Their dad, Tony, says. "When did I fall asleep?" I ask, not remembering doing that."You ate an apple then practically passed out on the couch. We figured it was best to just leave you. You looked really tired." Leo smiles. I smile back. "Thanks. I did need some sleep. I probably need to get back now. Thank you for letting me sleep." I say quietly, gathering my purse and walking towards the door. "See you at school tomorrow?" Nova asks."Yep. Bye." I say, walking out. I don't have to walk long before I reach Addie's house. I walk in and walk up to Alex, giving him a bear hug. I cry in his arms. He holds me, slightly confused. He brought me to my bed. "Burner," I say quietly, trying to get him to remember that day."What'd you say?" He looks into my face, confused. His eyes widen in shock. "Shadow? It's you?" he asks. "It's me," I confirm. "Why did you never tell me?" "I didn't recognize you. You looked different." He explains. He hugs me again. "You tried to kill yourself." He says, looking down."I did." I nod. "Do you still want to?" "I'm trying not to. I don't know if I still would make the same decision. If I was on that building right now..." I start, walking across the room. "I miss my family. I miss Kris. I love her. And every day without her is like a day without air." I explain, closing my eyes. "I'm so sorry, Bea." He hugs me again, stroking my hair comfortingly. "I'm fine." I shrug. "I don't even know if I'm real anymore, you know?" I ask, looking down at my hands. "Ever since... him... I feel like I'm dead. Like I really didn't survive." I say. "You survived, Bea. You are alive and he's dead and you are here. And you're gonna get your dad back, I promise." He says, holding my hands. I nod wordlessly. I can't get my dream out of my head, and I keep seeing my dad all mangled my a semi. Is that what everyone had to see me like when I jumped? I feel slightly nauseous thinking about it. I jump up and run to the bathroom, throwing up into the toilet. "Hey, you okay?" Alex runs after me. I wave him off. "Pregnant, remember?" I say quickly, leaning over the toilet seat. "Right." He says, fidgeting with his hands, as if he wasn't sure what he should do. I groan slightly with discomfort. "You can go, I can handle a little morning sickness." I permit, getting annoyed by his constant presence over my shoulder. He leaves uncertainly and I throw up again. Once I think I'm done, I flush and wash my hands. I feel my stomach, where a small bump has intruded. I feel tears come to my eyes, but I blink them away quickly. I walk out and lay down on my bed.

POV Alex:I watch as Bea comes back into our room, quickly falling asleep. She doesn't look very peaceful, but I let her continue the rare sleep. I decide to call Derek. "Hello?" He answers. "Hi, Derek." I greet. "What's the update on Bea?" He asks, interested. "She's... got morning sickness." I say, trying not to talk about the bad things. "Well, that's good. It means that the baby is healthy." He says. "What else?" "She's been having nightmares. And she's so... dull. Her eyes are just dark. Void. She said she didn't feel alive. I'm worried." I say, honestly. "I am too. She's gonna be fine, though." He assures me, though it sounded like more of a self-aformation. "I really hope you're right. She's sleeping right now. I'll call you later, bye." I hang up the phone and start to play a video game.

POV Beatrice:

I feel his tough grasp as he drags me across the room. "You are WORTHLESS!" He screams. I flinch at his rough movements, causing him to laugh at me. I feel a tear in my eye but I force it back. I can't let him see me cry. I feel a strong hand taking away my air supply and I gasp desperately. I scratch at him, crying out weakly. He throws me down and begins kicking me over and over again until blood is coming from my mouth. He laughs at me. "Stop, please." I beg softly. "You're so weak. I've barely done anything." He says as he grabs me by the hair and punches me. "Weak! That's all you are! You deserve this!" He yells, although the words are not really registering. "I'm sorry. Please, just let me go." I cry out. "Bea!" I hear a voice yelling at me. I jolt out of my terrifying slumber and see Alex shaking me awake. I gasp. "Bea, it's okay. It's not real. He can't get you anymore. I promise. It's okay. Shhh." He hums quietly, holding me close to his chest.
