Dawsey| Above the clouds

Gabby is laying on the cold ground, her skin is pale and she almost looks dead. But I know she isn't because she's a fighter, Gabby never gives up.

I can see that she's breathing, but she doesn't move and neither does she show any sign of pain. I'm worried, and I don't know what to do.

"Gabby?" I say and hit her lightly on her cheek with my palm. No response.

"Stay with me, you're going to be fine, okay?" I say.

The ambulance stop on the road, just a bit further down from us. Sylvie comes rushing out with a stretcher, and when she reach us Gabby gets an oxygen mask, then we're of to the ambulance.

"You want to come with us?" Sylvie asks as she put the stretcher into the ambulance.

I nod and follow Gabby into the ambulance. As soon as Sylvie close the doors Jimmy start driving.

I squeeze Gabby's hand tightly. I'm not letting go of her hand until I know she and the baby is going to be okay. The love is as big for both of them. Though, we don't have a name for the baby, not even suggestions. I mean, we don't know the gender of the baby but it could be smart to have some ideas.

But we do know one thing so far, and it is that when the baby is born we're going to change names to Dawson-Casey. We have chosen to have a double surname because both of us have very strong and important family names.

It does sound weird but soon I'm going to be Matthew Dawson Casey. But I have good feelings for that because then Gabby and I are connected in one more way.

"It's going to be fine" I say and wipe my thumb back and forth on her forehead to calm her and myself down. Even though I know it's hard to calm someone who's not awake.

During the entire way to the hospital I didn't  notice anything Sylvie did to Gabby. All I could do was to focus on Gabby and think about the worst things that could happen, I know it's bad to do that but I couldn't stop it.

What if she dies, what if the baby dies, what if one of them get injured. There's so many if's.

Now the ambo is going in to the garage where we will rush into a room. After that some strong doctor or nurse, perhaps Dr. Rhodes, have to pull me away from
Gabby and I will have to wait for what feels forever and then get bad or good news.

I know, because I've done this before.

The ambo stop and the doors get pushed open. My heart starts to bold and when I see the white room in front of me. We rush into that room and are met by Maggie, she send us to something 3. Treatment 3, emergency 3, I don't know because I didn't hear.

Dr. Choi are ready in the room, so are April. I'm not letting go of Gabby yet, I want to know what's going on. But when she get pushed into the room I get seen by Dr. Rhodes who also happen to be in the room.

"You have to wait outside" he say.

I look at him for a brief moment and then back at Gabby.

"It was not a question, you need to leave" he say.

But as I said, I'm not going anywhere.

"Leave, now!" He yell and push me away from Gabby and out from the room, I almost fall backwards. He walk past me and get into his office.

I want to go in there but the only thing I can do is to wait. Only wait.
