Alex's POV

Monday 11:15 AM

I bend the corner and the tires screech; I am just a few minutes from the hospital. I grab my phone and give it to Omar who is sitting beside me.

"Search for Doctor McGill and call him now," I instruct, and he does as I've asked. After the first ring the doctor answers.

"Good morning, Mr Holt," he greets cheerfully.

"Doc, we have an emergency, we're on our way to you now!" I shout.

"Ok, is this about Miss Kimberly?" He asks in a calm voice.

"Yes, something is wrong, she's bleeding," I tell him.

"How far away are you?" He questions.

"About three minutes, but she's in front of us so maybe two minutes!" I answer.

"Ok, we'll be waiting," he says and disconnects the call.

I floor the gas pedal needing to get there in time, Dane needs me.

Jubba's POV

I pull up to the emergency entrance of the hospital and several doctors and hospital personnel are outside. They rush to the car when I jump out and quickly remove Kim, putting her on a stretcher.

Kim is now conscious but she's in pain, her cries are deafening, and I fear the worst. Dane has been talking to her calmly, but I see the fear in his eyes.

"I can't do this on my own, where are they?" He asks as we run inside behind the doctors.

"I'm sure Alex organised this so they're coming," I answer.

They wheel her through a double door and a white female doctor stops and tells us that we can't enter.

"Are you fucking crazy? I'm not leaving her side!" Dane shouts.

"Sir..." the doctor starts but Dane cuts her off.

"No Sir mi a bloodclaat, yuh affi kill mi but I'm staying with her!" He yells.

"Dane!" Alex calls out as he, Omar and Ethan run down the hall.

"Good morning, Ma'am my name is Alexander Holt the third, where is Doctor McGill?" Alex asks when he reaches up to us.

"Hi Mr. Holt welcome back, he's gone with the patient," she answers.

"Thank you, I've already spoken to him, my brother needs to be with his wife, I'd appreciate it if you'd be so kind as to move out of his way," Alex says in a no-nonsense tone, the doctor steps aside and Dane rushes through the doors.

"Good to see you Mr. Cunningham," she smiles at Ethan who returns her smile before she follows behind Dane.

"Yuh know yuh fucking scary sometimes, yuh sound like yuh fada a while ago," Ethan says, and I can't help laughing.

Yep, when Alex puts on his Alexander Holt the third cap along with his accent, he's scary for real and you'd think twice about denying him whatever he wants.

Alex only grins briefly then turn to me, "what happened?" He asks.

"She told us that it was time but by the time Dane went over to her she was bleeding and could hardly stand. For a moment she passed out but, on our way here she woke up and started crying out in pain," I report, and he nods.

"What do you think happened Nerd?" Omar asks him.

"Mi look like doctor to yuh Omar?" He responds and I laugh.
