Irresistible

Chapter 14

Tori's POV

Pete woke up at one point, asking who was there. I calmed him down quickly, assuring him that it was me and that he was okay.

He woke up again a few hours later, and I told him that Patrick and the other guys had gone to get Megan and ashlee. I told him about how Bronx and Saint had been since he left. I told him how my pregnancy had gone.

He asked when he could see the babies, I told him they were with Marie and Ruby back in Chicago.

After awhile, the nurses brought us some dinner from the cafeteria. A doctor came to check on Pete, and he asked me how I was feeling as well. I was on what the nurses called labor watch, just in case I started having contractions again.

After we ate I was wondering where Patrick and the others were, and then I talked myself down. Surely they were fine. The beach house was just far away.

I was exhausted, and after pete fell asleep I couldn't help it. I lay my head down on the bed and fell asleep.

It was at 3 am the next morning when the door opened. I sat up quickly-and so did Pete- to see a very ragged looking Meagan standing in the doorway.

"Pete," she breathed.

"Meagan!" He cried.

He tried getting up, but she shushed him and came to him. "I'm okay, don't worry." She said. She looked at me. "Tori, tell me my babies are alright." She said.

"Bronx and Saint are safe at home with Marie and Ruby." I told her. "We've been taking care of them the last few months. They're doing fine."

"Thank god." She said, and laid her head on Petes arm.

"I'll give you guys a minute." I said.

I stood up and went to find Patrick.

On my way down the hall I met Ashlee, who asked about her son. "He's okay." I said. I explained how Bronx had been doing and where he was, and she quickly called Marie.

I was starting to wonder why Joe, Patrick, or andy hadn't told the two women where their sons were. Maybe it had slipped their minds?

I stepped into the waiting room and found Joe and Andy, but no Patrick. Both were covered in blood.

"Guys?" I asked. The looks on their faces sent chills up my spine. Something had happened. Something horrible. Something unspeakable.

"Tori..." andy began.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Joe was crying.

"Andy! What happened? Where's Patrick?" I asked. I could feel my heart rate speeding up.

"Tori, he's in surgery." Joe said.

"Why is he in surgery?" I demanded.

"He was shot, Tori. By sally." Andy explained.

"No, no no no." I said.

"Tori, please stay calm. It's gonna be okay." Joe said. "They're going to save him."

"How do you know that?!" I cried.

"Because it has to be okay!" He yelled back.

"Guys, this isn't going to solve anything." Andy said soothingly.

I wanted to think like Joe, but I had lived this once before.

I was gonna have to stop planning a wedding and starting planning a funeral.
