Lunch

A/N: this chapter is a hospital based one, talk about bloods being taken, someone collapsing, and being in critical condition (etc). I don't know if that could be a trigger for anyone, so I'm going to put it here just in case. I don't want anyone to be offended or hurt in any way. There is a TW of panic attacks as well.

(Marjorie's pov)

Reece still hasn't come home yet. I'm getting bit worried, he only went out for lunch with Aut. That was about 4 hours ago. Well I'm getting very worried. None of their lunches have ever gone on for this long, Aut can't stand to be in public for longer than 2 hours. Which is why it's weird it's gone 4:30pm and he's still not home.
I've tried ringing his phone, but it just goes to voicemail. Which makes sense, he said he won't be able to answer because he wants to spend the time with Autumn with mo distractions.

I dial a different number.
"Marjorie," Aut answers.
"Where's my husband?" I demand down the phone.
"Marjorie please."
"What? Why do you sound like that? What's happened? Tell me. Autumn Fortune-Knight!"
"Marjorie! Something wasn't right with him. He was off when we got to lunch  and then out of nowhere he collapsed! He was unresponsive! He's in the hospital okay! The doctors don't know what's going to happen with him yet, apparently it's critical. Come down here please, I need you," she cries down the phone. That is the first time I've ever heard her properly cry.
"Okay, take some breaths Aut. I'm coming now, I need to ring someone. I'll be there so soon Aut, stay calm."

I grab my keys, and sprint to my car. I find her number and call her.
"Marjorie? What a nice surprise," Mia's voice comes through.
"Hi Mia. Is Char with you?"
"Yes she is. What's up?" Mi sounds confused.
"You both need to meet me at the hospital. I rang Aut when Reece didn't come home, turns out he collapsed. Aut says the doctors thinks it's critical and they aren't sure the outcome. I need Char to come down here for Aut, she needs the comfort that only Char can offer, and I need you," I tell her, my voice monotone and just trying to get the words out fast.
"Okay Marjorie. We are driving now. We'll see you there. It's going to be okay."
"I know. I'm fine, I'm just worried for Aut, she was in a right state."
"See you there Marjorie," Mia says before hanging up the phone.

Just as the call drops, I arrive at the hospital. I wait outside for a few minutes and watch Mia come speeding through the car park.
She parks insanely quick and with ease, before both of them run out the car and over to me.
"Marjorie! Let's go!" Mia yells in my face.
"Sorry, you parked so effortlessly. I'm impressed."
"Mia? What is going on with her?" Char asks.
"I think I know baby. Let's just get to Reecey and Aut."

Char and Mia drag me into the hospital, immediately navigating their way to where Aut was waiting outside a room.
"Mimi!" We hear her cry, before she collapses into Mia's arms.
"We're here little sis. He's going to be okay."
"What if he dies!? I can't lose my older brother!"
"Char, baby? Come take Aut for me. Take her outside, calm her down, you know what to do," Mia tells Char, and we both watch as Char has to drag Autumn away kicking and screaming.
"It's for the best she isn't here," Mia says.

"Excuse me? Is one of you Marjorie Knight?" Someone calls from behind us, and we turn around to see a doctor and a few nurses.
"Yes that's me," I say, stepping slightly forward.
"Can we speak somewhere quiet for a moment?"
"We can. But she comes with," I say, and I grab Mia's hand tightly.
"That's fine. Let's go through this way," she says, and leads us through to an empty room, well almost empty. It had a few chairs in it and that was about it.

"Take a seat."
I sit down, Mia sitting next to me. I tighten my grip on her hand.
"I don't know if you're aware, but your husband Reece, he suffered a fall earlier today."
"I know that much doctor. I don't know anything else."
"Well, we are not sure what caused the fall. We are running test after test, but still are unsure. He is in a very unwell state at the moment, and we are not sure what is going to happen from here." The doctor explains, and it's so strange, as soon as she opens her mouth, there is a muted ringing in my ears.
"What does this mean?" Mia asks the question I wanted to but I can't get out.
"If he has any other family, get them here. As a precaution, just in case. It could improve, and he could recover, but it can go the opposite direction as well. We will do everything we can."
"Okay. Thank you doctor. Is there any way we can see him?" Mia asks.
"We can let you in the room, but you'll have to stand back as we have some test being down at this current moment. Or you can wait an hour or so?"
"Marjorie, what do you want to do?" Mia asks, but I can't respond, a lump in my throat won't let me. Instead I just blankly stare between the two of them.
"I think we'll see him now if that's okay?" Mia says.
"Of course. Right this way," the doctor says softy, leading us to his room.
"Remember what I said." The doctor walks off.
