Alec's pov.

Danny had the twin pain and we knew that something is not right. Taylor informed us that their IT managed to surpass their system and they were able to track them.

I'm hoping against hope that she comes back to us in one piece. I try calling Taylor for the third time and he finally picks.

What the hell is goin on mehn.
Me.

Gabby was hit by a bullet on the abdomen. We are trying to get her to the hospital.
Taylor.

My heary sinks when I hear that and I try so hard not to drop my phone.

How is she?
Me.

She is in bad shape she lost alot of blood.
Taylor.

Taylor?
Me

Yeah.
Taylor.

Don't let her die.
Me.

I desperately say into the phone,  my voice is breaking.

She won't bro,  I promise.
Taylor.

And  he hangs up.

Danny is practically clutching her stomach on the floor in Jake's arms.

“my sister can't die.” Danny says groaning.

“what did he tell you?” kassie asks.

“Gabby was hit by a bullet.” I weakly drop on the couch. “They just rushed her to the hospital.”

“what hospital?” Jake asks helping Danny up when the pain passes.

“I heard someone in the background say st.judes is closer.” I say running my fingers in my hair.

“what're we waiting for?” Curtis says standing up. “lets roll.”

And everybody gets up.

I'm too weak to stand up. I can't imagine losing Gabby. It'll be the end of me.

“C'mon Alec,  you have to be strong for her.” zac pulls me to stand.

“snap out of it.” that is curtis and he leads me out to his car.

The rest have already left and Zac just drove out of the driveway.

“ I'll drive mine.”

“ we both know you  are in no position to drive.” she says banging the door behind me. “just wear your grown up pants and focus.”

****
We are at the hospital and i'm going crazy,  nobody has told us anything its been 1hour since we were told she's in surgery.

I'm continuously tapping my feet on the ground, everybody is silent and we are seated on a waiting sofa,  Ciara is leaning on my shoulder,  Jake has gone out to pick a call,  kassie is trying to get the nurse to find out what's going on.

Zac and curtis are out trying to find blood for Gabby,  none of us is her blood type and Danny can't donate,  apparently she's pregnant.

There is no other relative that can donate blood for her so we had to buy it from the blood bank.

Danny has Gabby's phone and I look at her when it rings for the third time. She finally decides to pick it; it just wont stop ringing.

“Hello.....no this is Danny,  who is this?... Jasmine!?...what do you want with her? She's in surgery right now because of you.... What?! What happened to you?... What answers? ...and what made you have a change of heart suddenly?... What hospital is that?... Okay be there in 45 minutes...”

“what was that about?” kassie is already upon her when she hangs up.

“That was jasmine,  she wanted to talk to Gabby and give her the answers she wanted so she asked me to go instead.”

“why now?” I ask.

“she has been bitten almost to death, she's in a hospital. She thinks she won't be able to make it.”

“ By who?” ciara asks sitting up.

None of us is surprised, for someone who has been involved with people like Damian and his dad. She's prone to have enemies who want her dead.

“she said Damian's dad found her and beat her to a pulp.” she stands “ The hospital is in the next town,  it wont be Long before I'm back.”

“i'll come with you.” ciara says making to stand.

“ Thanks but I'll go with Jake.. Please call me incase of anything.”
We watch as she steps out.

Danny's pov

I walk out and I find Jake just getting off the phone.
“where you going?”

“To amsterdam hospital, I need to talk with Jasmine.”

“why?” he looks surprised. “ I thought you hated her; what happened to her anyway.”

“I'll tell you on the way she is scheduled for theatre and she will be in surgery in the next hour.” I say letting him wrap his left hand around my shoulder. “she asked to talk to me before going in.”

He opens the car door for me before going around and getting in as well.

“what is it today with people and surgeries.” he says starting the car.

“yeah..tell me about it.” I say leaning on the seat closing my eyes for two second its been a hectic day not to mention the week.

He glances at me before focusing on the road, “baby,  are you okay?”

“i'm okay you don't have to keep asking me every 5minutes.”

Not that i'm complaining or anything but he is too worried for nothing.

“Just let me worry,  this week has been the worst,  your sister has been lost for four days, she is finally found but terribly injured and fighting for her life as we speak and it turns out I'm going to be a dad.” he smiles saying the last part. “honestly baby,  that is the best news i've heard the whole month.”

“ I'm a little nervous about having a kid but its the best thing that has happened to me; having a kid with the most charming guy in the world.” I tell him and he reaches for my hand with his free hand.

“I had missed that beautiful smile.” he lightly laughs.
