Camden runs his hands through his hair frustratingly as they take Athena into surgery.
Willow follows the other doctors into the OR and they don't question it.
1, because her brother in law is Camden tames. And 2, because they know she's a doctor.
Halston is sitting next to her phone, hoping they'll call and tell her Athena and the baby are okay.
Francis and Sebastian aren't sure what to do but they're worried as well.
Tyler's stressed out and he feels badly about what his brother and sister in law are going through.
Alexia, unaware of what's going on, is watching a movie with her husband when she gets the call.
"Hello?" She answers.
"Lex, it's Cam. Athena, she-" the sentence breaks off and Alexia sits up, now worried.
"Cam, what's going on?" She asks, concerned and confused.
"Athena, she started bleeding. She might lose the baby." She'd never heard her oldest brother cry, until now.
"Camden, I'm so sorry." She apologizes feeling her heart drop.
"I might lose them both." All she can hear is his heavy breathing and his silent sobs every once in a while.
"I'm on my way." Is all she says before hanging up.
"What's going on?" Mason asks her as she grabs her shoes and runs to the door.
"Athena's bleeding and she might lose the baby. She could die too. I need to go." She explains quickly.
Mason nods. "Be careful." Is all he tells her, afraid of her driving and then crashing since she's stressed
She just nods and leaves the house.
Camden is sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall with his knees in front of him and his head rested on his knees while his hands are folded together in front of him.
His hair is a mess and he took off his suit jacket and tie, only leaving his ruffled white shirt and black pants.
Alexia sits down next to him. "Cam." She says and he looks up at her.
"Lex." Is all he's able to say.
She hugs him, holding him tightly and hoping that he won't lose the one person he loves the most.
Hoping he won't lose the love of his life and his unborn child.
In the OR Willow is watching over everything, not doing much because it's been a while since she's done surgery.
In order to stay calm she has to push away all the facts of what's happening and just focus on keeping her patient alive.
Patient. Not Athena. Saying it's her makes it real. It's just a patient.
