(Brogan)
I paced around the small bathroom. "Don't do it." I whispered to myself, messing with the blade in my pocket. There was a knock on the door. "You okay, babe?" Tony asked, I opened the door, "Yeah." "Okay, I love you." Tony said, I looked up at him. "I love you too." I said, I walked over to Tony and hugged him, he held me close. I started to shake. "Everything will be okay, I promise." Tony said, I nodded. Eve whimpered loudly and I closed my eyes. Tony sat down in one of the crappy hospital chairs and pulled me into his lap. "Jaime? Mike?" Eve whispered. "Yes?" Mike asked, I looked up at Tony and he smiled slightly. "I'm sorry." She said, Mike sighed. "It's okay." He said, Eve's heart monitor started to slow down. "I love you all." She said, I looked over at Jaime and he pressed the nurse's button. A doctor came in and rushed us all out. "This is all my fault." Mike said, Jaime looked up at him. "Stop, it's not your fault, Mike." He said, Mike put his head in his hands. The doctor exited the room and said, "She will be just fine, she's waking back up right now. Go on in if you want." Jaime was the first one to run in the room. We all walked in and Jaime looked at her. "You scared the shit out of us, E." Jaime said sitting back sown in his original spot. Tony picked me up and carried me to the couch in the hospital room and cradled me. "The baby.." Eve mumbled, Mike looked at her. "W-What?" He stuttered, Eve shot up and her hands flew to her stomach. "Is the baby okay?! Where is the baby?!" "There was no baby.." Mike said, Eve teared up. "It's dead?" She asked, Mike looked at Jaime. "No one said anything about a baby." "I-I know." Jaime said and he pressed the nurse button again, a tall nurse walked in, "Yes?" She asked, Mike looked at her, "Was she pregnant?" He asked, the nurse nodded. "Yes.." Eve looked up. "Is it okay?" "No, I'm sorry." The nurse said sadly, Eve's jaw dropped and Jaime inhaled sharply.

"Since you weren't that far along, we really couldn't do anything." The nurse said and Eve started crying. "I'm sorry." The nurse said and looked down. "It's not your fault... Can we please have some time alone?" Jaime asked, the lady nodded and left. "Babe, I'm so sorry." Mike said tearing up, Jaime held Eve's hand and she squeezed his hand. I started to tear up, "Oh my god..." Tony mumbled, Eve sat there just staring at her lap. "I killed it. I killed my own child." Eve mumbled, Jaime shook his head. "No, you didn't." "Yes, I did." Eve whispered, Jaime looked at Eve. "You didn't! How far along were you? The nurse said you weren't that far along." Jaime said, Eve shook her head, "I did! It doesn't matter how far along I was, I still fucking killed it!" She said, Mike shook his head. "You didn't kill them, babe." Mike said, Eve closed her eyes and laid back down. I looked up and Tony and Jaime said, "Wanna talk with Brogan?" "Mhm.." She replied as Tony looked down at me, I got up and sat down next to Jaime. "Hi." I said. "Hello baby girl." She said, she opened her eyes and looked at me and started to scratch her scars. I smiled weakly and she gave me a slight smile back, "You feeling okay?" I asked, she closed her eyes. "No...my wrist burn, I have a headache and my stomach hurts." She said and pulled on Mike's hand so he would get in the bed and cuddle with her. I nodded and she groaned and sat up. Jaime looked over at Tony and he moved to the foot of the bed, Mike sat up as well. "You okay, babe?" He asked, she closed her eyes and didn't respond, Jaime pressed the nurses button. A male nurse walked in and frowned. He approached her, "What's wrong, sweetheart?" He asked, I started to shake as Mike got out of the hospital bed and sat down next to me. He gave me a side hug, I didn't hug back. "I'm sorry for everything I said to you." He said, I nodded. "It's okay." I said. "I love you." Mike said, no father figure in my life has ever said that to me, I smiled slightly. "Love you too..?" I said awkwardly. "As a dad of course." Mike said with a chuckle. "I know.." I said, the nurse huffed. "Oh no." He walked over to the door and opened it. "Doctor! Now!" The nurse yelled and Jaime looked up. A doctor rushed in and looked at Eve. The doctor started to whisper to the nurse. "What's wrong with her?" Jaime asked, the doctor ignored him and called in more nurses.

"Take her to the operating area, get her prepared for surgery." The doctor said to the other nurses, Jaime's face went completely pale, "I'll be back to talk to you guys after surgery is over. It has to be done now." He said to Jaime and walked out with some nurses and two others hauled Eve out. "I-I'm going for a walk." I said and stood up, "Okay, babe, stay safe." Tony said and kissed me, I kissed him back and walked out. I walked down the road and I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry." I said and I looked up and saw Jack. I started to run, I made it to Andy's house and knocked on the door. I was completely out of breath. The door swung opened and it was Jinxx. "Did you run here?! Come on in, sweetie. Andy and Ash will be back soon." He said and let me in. "3 fucking miles." I said, Jinxx shook his head, "Oh gosh. Hey babe?! Brogan's here!" He yelled and Jake walked out, "Hey! You don't look good." He said, I plopped down on the floor and panted like a dog. "CC?! Grab Brogan some towels with cold water on them please." Jinxx said and picked me up and placed me on the couch. CC came in and put cold towels on my head, stomach, and legs. "How far did she run?" Jake asked, Jinxx looked at him. "She ran 3 fucking miles." He said and gave me a bottle of water, I drank some of it and then Ash and Andy walked in. "Hey, whe- woah. What happened to Brogan?" Ash asked and they walked over to me. "She ran 3 miles." Jake said, Andy looked at me. "What?! By yourself?! Brogan.." Andy said sternly, I looked up at the man. "What?" "One of us would've picked you up if you needed us to. Does Tony or Mike know you're here?" He asked, I shook my head. "No, but they knew that I was taking a walk." I said, Ash nodded. "I'll call them really quick." He said and called Mike. I closed my eyes. "Okay." I said. "Why did you run here exactly?" CC asked me. "To much going on at the hospital." "Mhm." He replied.
