"Page Dr. Philips!"
"Her pulse is dropping. Someone get me the fetal hearbeat stat!"
I hear voices over and around me. Sounds of feet shuffling accompany the incessant yelling and I almost want to tell them to shut up. To let me slip into the comforting fog and rest. I'm so tired. The voices drift away and its almost peaceful but not quite. From far away, I hear wailing. Indistinct but loud. Someone's yelling. I wonder what they're screaming about. It almost sounds like Sebastian....
"LESLIE!" The voice cries and it is Sebastian. I struggle to open my eyes but I can't seem to find the energy for even that simple act. I hear scuffling and sounds of a fight from close by. As every second passes by, the world around me comes back into clarity and with that the devastating pain. I let out a toe curdling scream so loud than even I'm half panicked by the sound. But that thought is quickly dismissed when the pain rears its head once more.
"LESLIE!" My mate screams again and I hear a grunt before Sebastian's hand envelopes mine. I finally manage to open my eyes and the first sight that greets me is of Sebastian beside me. He looks terrible and behind him, Brian stands cradling a broken nose. All around, nurses and doctors scramble about and the chaos of the situation scares me. For the moment, the pain mercifully dulls and I need to tell Sebastian.
"Sebastian... I'm sorry." I whisper weakly as I try to convey all my regret into the simple sentence.
"Fuck, baby, I'm sorry." Sebastian says as he frantically kisses my hand. "Don't worry about it. You can be mad at me after."
I'm about to reply when the agonising pain returns and its all I can do to stay conscious. I screech and the sound seems to send the doctors and nurses into a frenzy.
"Fetal heartbeat is weak. We need to operate! Page the OR!" A doctor yells as he injects me. The bed moves and suddenly I'm flying down the hospital corridor with Sebastian pacing to keep up.
"I... I love you... I'm sorry" I gasp in between shallow breaths. I try tightening my hand around his but I'm too weak with fatigue.
"I love you too Leslie. And this isn't a goodbye. You're not leaving me baby." Sebastian grips my hand and its almost painful but I need the contact. Amid pandemonium, Sebastian's eyes on mine anchor me to Earth. They anchor me to him. But the pain doesn't care about that, instead it screams out in fury and I likewise follow.
"Sir, you have to let go." A nurse orders as she jogs beside my bed.
"I'm not letting her go." Sebastian declares without breaking eye contact with me. I know he means something more than hand-holding. I know he speaks those words for both me and the nurse.
"Sir, we're almost to the OR and you can't be in there. Let go!" The nurse yells as her agitation rises. From behind Sebastian, a bloodied Brian calls out to him to step back.
"You stay with me, Leslie! I'm not letting you go. Do you hear me? You're not fucking leaving me, baby! I love you. Fight for me." Sebastian says as we near the OR. I see it in his eyes; he's not releasing me until I promise him my survival. Our child's survival. And I just barely manage a nod before the OR door looms before us and Sebastian has to let me go.
"Sir, let go!"
The grip around my hand disappears and I just barely see a distraught Sebastian held back by both a security guard and Brian. "LESLIE! I love you!" He yells as he struggles against their hold. I want to reply but I can't and suddenly the doors burst open and we're in the OR. Without my mate. I can't hear or see him any longer but I remember my promise to him. My promise to survive for the both of us.
Baby, stay with Mommy. We're gonna be okay.
I only just manage the thought before the thick fog descends and my world fades out.
Hey. Sorry if this isn't completely medically accurate. I've never been in any sort of situation like this so I was kindda just making it up. :) Also, I pulled inspiration from Twilight:Breaking Dawn. So yea, sorry if this scene seems like a mess. Anyways, enjoy the book. We're dangerously close to the end now. Happy reading. Bye. :D
