riot time

angeline

it feel weird that my friends dont know whats growing inside of me.

but i dont want to tell them so they dont get disappointed if something was to happen. especially with my uterine trauma.

but as we are sitting together eating dinner, i dont want their smiles to leave their faces.

so i definitely cannot tell them until everything is safe.

my first appointment is today after shift. im beyomd excited.

but first i have to get through this. while i am excited, im terrified for the possibly of bad news.

my thoughts stop as the bell rings overhead. we all jump into action and run towards the truck.

a prison riot. with fires.

as we pull into the prison i hold back putting a hand on my baby.

im scared.

"you will be escorted by four of our men in protective gear. you just have to take care of that fire." the warden says.

we all mask up in our gear and run towards the smoke to find the entire room in flames.

we get the hoses ready and start spraying it all down.

the fire is soon contained in this area.

"we have to go." the two men who were meant to be guarding us says.

oh god. were down to two guards.

i hear growing and pause. "over here!"

"oh god. its mitch." the guard says.

"we need to get him out. now." hen says.

me and eddie take the guard back to the ambulance. i stay in the back while eddie drives. each of us have our own escort.

"eddie, come in." i hear bobby over the radio as i see one of the escorts pull out a gun and point it at eddie.

"no." he begins. "kill the lights and sirens."

eddie does as he says, flipping the switch.

i turn towards the escort back with me and let out a "what the hell".

"i cant thank you guys enough. ive been waiting 18 years to get out of that place." the man says with a smug grin.

we pull over and they both coerce us out of the ambulance and into the desert.

one of the men pat us down as the other stands there.

"so you broke out. what now?" eddie begins. "the patient in there, fighting for his every breath. that your handiwork?"

the main man shrugs and goes through eddies wallet.

"cute kid. im guessing he lives with you at 4995 south bedford street."

"dont you ta-" i get cut off by the butt of the gun against my head. i grunt as my head explodes with pain.

-

me and eddie are now back in the ambulance with the main man in the back with us, the other man driving.

"keep him alive." he says.

"you tried to kill him, yet you want him alive?" i ask with a laugh. "that is something."

"what are you doing?" the man asks eddie.

"intubating him." eddie grunts. "ange, hand me the bougie."

i do as he says, eyes set on the gun being pointed at the two of us.

i hand it to him before i spot the hospital sign out of the window.

"seriously?" i ask, brows raised.

"i thought thats what you wanted. to get your friend here to a hospital."

the ambulance stops and the back door opens, revealing the other escapee.

"doesnt look like we have any company." the main man says. "alright. pretty girl stays with me."

"no way. i will be staying with you. i am not putting her baby in danger." eddie shuts the idea down immediately.

"eddie, its okay. im not going to do anything to make him shoot me. the baby will be fine." i assure, only making the man shake his head.

"no. if youre pregnant, he stays with me. you get checked out."

my brows furrow in confusion. hes letting me go now? because he found out i am pregnant? does that mean he has a child of his own?

"never thought i would be saying this to my abductor, but thank you." eddie lets out a sigh of relief. "can i kiss her in case something happens?"

the man thinks on it for a second but he nods and turns.

i cup his cheeks and kiss him softly. the kiss lasts a second or two longer than usual, both of us relishing in what could be our last moment with each other.

"i love you. please get the baby checked out." he says softly, glancing down at my stomach.

"i will. dont do anything stupid. i love you." i stand and take the bag from his hands, flipping up the brakes on the gurney.

we get the man out of the ambulance and wheel him into the hospital.

"alright, where do we go?" the escapee asks.

"right this way." i gesture towards the doors. i notice no one is at the entrance, which is weird.

"where the hell is everyone?" he says before we both get ambushed and pushed to the floor.

"hey! im pregnant dipshits! im a firefighter please let me get up!" i yell out, desperate.

"angeline!" i hear athena yell. "this ones good. let her up now!"

the men on me immediately let go and help me up. i place a hand on my stomach in concern.

"you okay, honey?" she asks in a motherly tone. i nod with a sniffle.

"howd you know we were coming here?" i ask.

"we figured out why mitchel broke out." she explains. that must be the main man. "where is he?"

"in the ambulance." i sigh. "with eddie."

"okay. go get yourself and the baby checked out. i will make sure eddie gets back to you two." she smiles softly and rubs my shoulder before running off.

a nurse comes up to me and takes me into an exam room.

after a bunch of tests, the baby is fine. i, however, have a concussion from being hit with the gun earlier.
