New Priorities: a Shatter Me fan-fiction (Warnette)

Chapter Nine

~*{Aaron's Pov}*~

"I-I'm pr-pre-pregnant." She says before losing consciousness.

My eyes widen, looking down to where her stomach is, and where the bullet hit her. This isn't good.

"Juliette!" I lift her into my arms. "Juliette, please love." I continue putting pressure on her wound.

I turn around and see everyone in the room, Kenji, Castle, Adam, Brendon, Winston, Lily, Alia, and Ian, looking at me with a shocked face. 

"Did she just say what I think she did?" Asked Kenji.

I feel a spike of anger impale me. "INSTED OF STATING THERE SOMEONE COULD HOLD THE DOOR SO I CAN GET HER OUT OF HERE AND SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY'LL BOTH BE SAFE!"

Castle quickly opens the door and I run with Juliette in my arms, back to one of the two tank we came in.

Everyone else follows soon after.

In this tank, Castle drives and Brendon and Winston sit in the front with him, while me, Juliette in my arms, Kenji and Adam are in the back.

"Come on J." Kenji said, his legs bobbing up and down in fear.

I kiss her forehead. "You've got to pull through, sweetheart, our little baby needs their mother." I tear leaves my eye and I wipe it away with a sniffle. "I need you."

Kenji's puts a hand on my shoulder, making me look up at him. "She'll wake up, man, and the kid will be alright." He smiles through tears. This is the first time you that Kishimoto's words have made me feel anything other than murderous thoughts.

"Yeah." I try and believe what he is saying. "She will."

~*—*~

Once we get back onto base, I carry Juliette out the tank and rush to the medical wing where I meet Sonya and Sara.

"What the heck happened?" Sonya shrieked, seeing Juliette's body in my arms.

I walk over to one of the rooms in the hospital wing, placing her down, softly, onto the bed. Everyone follows me into the room. Sonya and Sara push past the crowd, marching up to the bed.

"Everyone out!" Demanded Sonya.

Everyone leaves the room in a rush, but I don't. I'm not leaving her. Never again.

"Warner, you need to get out." Sara said, softly, she is the more... sympathetic one, out of them both.

"I can't." I explain. "I can't leave them."

"Them?!" Both twins exclaim. Their faces morphing into one of dread. "Don't say she's..." Sonya added.

I nod, only once, but that's all they need to understand the urgency of the situation. "You've got to help her and the little one!"

~*—*~

After that, the next few hours are a blur.
I know it consisted of me sitting in the hospital room that they had transferred Juliette too, while she was in surgery. She has been gone for so long now, I'm so worried I think I'm on the edge of insanity.

"Hey man." Spoke an annoyingly familiar voice.

Kenji Kishimoto

"Not now, Kishimoto." I rest my head into my plans, trying to ease the thumping headache that's devouring me whole.

I hear his sigh deeply. "Come on, man." I hear him walking into the room. "You've gotta eat something, shower, sleep."

I shake my head. "No."

"Warner, you've been sitting in here for the best part of five hours."

Guess now I know the duration of my time in this room.

"Juliette isn't going to suddenly turn for the worst because you went and had some toast."

I snarled. "You don't understand." I rise from the chair I've been sat on. "You don't get it, do you?"

He looks at me in fear and in confusion.

"As long as she is on that operating table, I am staying right here."

"Oh my gosh you're so difficult!" He huffs. "Do you want me to tell you the news?"

"Unless it's to do with Juliette, I don't give a crap."

"She's out of surgery, they're stitching her up and then she's going to be brought back here."

My stomach flips with excitement and relief, she's fine. She is alright. Everything's okay.

As soon as I finally realise what Kishimoto is saying, a nurse comes in, wheeling an unconscious Juliette, on a hospital bed.

I immediately gather myself and rise to my feet, walking over to here the lady has parked Juliette's bed.

"Is she okay?" I ask, desperately. "Is the baby okay?"

The nurse puts an IV into Juliette's arm, sending a shiver down my spine.

Why does she need an IV?

"The baby is totally fine, but Miss Ferras has diagnosed with severe dehydration, high blood pressure, multiple severe wounds and weight loss." The nurse explained. "We have been informed of the situation that took place, and her state makes sense. She was obviously not fed enough, and not given enough fluids."

"She need to stay in hospital until her dehydration and weight is back on track, as well as her blood pressure."

I'm frozen. Time has stopped around me.

"But this isn't a hospital." Kenji stated.

"No it's not, she's being transfused to a hospital, an ambulance will come and pick her up."

"W-will she be okay?" I stutter, not wanting to show he utterly terrified I am.

"She should be okay, yes." The lady smiled.

'Should be'?!

That's is not comforting at all! She's sick and I can't do anything about it. I feel so hopeless, so guilty because it was her they took and not me. They should have killed me, not tried to kill Juliette and our child.

How could someone do something so evil, and just get away with it.

When we confronted Thomas, he acted like it was nothing. Like kidnapping people was normal part of his daily routine.

He is going to suffer no consequences, unless I take it into my own hands.

I will make sure he suffers.

Because that bastard did this to her!
