Everything was falling into place.
The night was perfect.
Rebecca began to feel tired as the night went on and Colby saw that, he knew he needed to get her home before she knocked out in the middle of the party.
He said goodbyes to everyone before leading Rebecca towards the car, she held tightly to his hand.. these deathtrap heels she was in and surprised she hadn't fallen yet.
He kept a close eye and a hand on her all night to make sure she didn't tumble to the ground.
He felt a tightening grip on his hand and he felt her stop.
"Did you finally break the heel off?" He asked as he turned to face her and she was doubled over "Rebecca.." He said as he pushed her hair out of her face and saw tears filling her eyes "What is it?"
"Something's wrong" she said in a breathless whisper "Something isn't right" she shook her head
"It could just be your uterus again" he said thinking back on the previous conversation but she shook her head
"This feels different" she said "This isn't right" she said
It all happened so quickly.
They were having an amazing night, they were starting to connect to one another.
The next thing they knew they were driving at record speed down the streets toward the hospital.
Neither one said a word the entire drive.
Arriving at the hospital, everything was chaotic.
It was a million and one different questions being asked at once, a bunch of nurses giving a lot of different information all at once.. it was all overwhelming and almost too much to comprehend.
The only thing Colby could comprehend was when a doctor walked into the waiting area.
Luckily Colby was standing right next to a wall, and he was able to react quick enough to catch himself before he fell to the floor because his legs practically gave out from under him when he heard the words.
His entire world crashed down around him.
"We did everything we could" the doctor said "there was something in her bloodwork that showed a very common drug"
"She doesn't do drugs" Colby shook his head
"She had an elevated level.." The doctor said once more but Colby interrupted him again
"She doesn't do drugs! I live with her I would know! She's pregnant.. she wouldn't even touch it!"
"She was pregnant" the doctor said "The drug caused her blood pressure to increase to a dangerously high level.. it could have killed her"
"She lost the baby.."
"I'm sorry" the doctor nodded
Colby walked in the room after talking to the doctor. Rebecca was laying in the bed, playing with the IV in her hand and she heard him walk in and she looked over at him.
"I'm sorry" she said in a whisper and he saw the tears fall from her eyes and he walked to her quickly and wrapped his arms around her
"Its not your fault" he said "its not your fault" he said once more
There was a knock on the door and Rebecca saw a heavily muscled man walk in the room.. she had seen him before.. Kent was his name, he was Colby's "protection officer"
"Sir" the man said and Colby looked over at him "We think we have answers"
"We don't need to hear this right now Kent" Colby shook his head
"Yes we do" Rebecca sat up slightly "I deserve to know"
"Sir.." Kent looked to Colby with a raised eyebrow
"What is it?" Colby asked as he ran his hand over his face and looked over at the officer
"Nobody else at the party has had any side effects whatsoever so we think it was just Rebecca's drink that was spiked" he explained "this was intentional"
"I don't know anybody in that company!" Rebecca exclaimed "who would want to make this happen?" She looked over at Colby
"The security team found out the catering company had a new hire on their team tonight"
"And?" Colby questioned
"It was Brandon sir" Kent stated and Colby's eyes widened "he was able to keep a low profile for the most part but he came out when he saw Rebecca only to hand her water over to her and then he slipped back in the background so he wouldn't be noticed"
"Who the fuck is Brandon?" Rebecca yelled
"My older brother" Colby said in a whisper
