Alex's P.O.V
"She's going into shock, push 3 of epi!"

"I want a tox screen, pregnancy test, EEG, and CT scan done ASAP!"
---
"She's seizing! Turn her on her side and hold her!"

"Alex, we need to talk," Dr. Depretis said.
<<Flashback>>
"God, I'm starving!" Scar exclaimed while I worked on some paperwork.
"Babe, you ate not even two hours ago," I said with a chuckle.
"I know, but I'm still really hungry. Do you think you could order something else? I'm sorry," she asked.
"Don't be sorry. How does Chinese sound?" I asked.
"Anything works at this point," she said as she closed her eyes.

"Baby? Are you okay?" I asked, taking note of her constant tossing and turning.
"Yeah. I just can't sleep. Maybe I slept too much today?" she asked.
"It's possible. Though, you weren't able to stay asleep for more than forty-five minutes at a time," I reminded her.
"Ugh. It's one in the morning, why can't I-," she started but then stopped. "Alex," she said cautiously.
"Yeah? What is it?" I asked.
"Bathroom. Now," she said as she threw her hand over her mouth. Rushing her to the bathroom, I put her to sit on the floor as she leans over the toilet bowl and throws up everything that she ate today.
"Let it all out," I said as I rubbed her back and held her hair up. "Do you feel a bit better now?" I asked. Nodding her head wearily, I help her up and brush her teeth for her. Carrying her back to bed, I place the covers over her and crawl in next to her.
"Wake me up if you need anything, okay?" I asked. Nodding her head in reply, she turns on her side and closes her eyes.

"Alex. Alex, wake up," I heard Scar say from beside me.
"Yeah, what is it, baby?" I asked tiredly.
"It's really cold, can you turn on the heat?" she asked.
"Heat? Baby, it's seventy degrees out," I replied. "You're also fucking sweating," I added.
What the fuck was going on?
"I'm just really cold right now. Please," she pleaded as she shivered.
"I'm turning it up right now," I said as I headed to the thermostat on the wall. I was going to be baked alive in my own bedroom.
"Come here," I said as I pulled her against me. "Have you gotten any sleep at all?" I asked.
"Barely. I keep waking up. My body has been really achy all day," she confessed.
"Well, it's four in the morning. Let's try to get some sleep, okay?" I asked.
"Mhm," she said nodding.

At five in the morning, she woke me up needing to throw up.
