Tobin
I was worried about Alex. She was brought into surgery 4 hours ago..... Shouldn't she be out by now? I lean into Cheney with my head on her shoulder. She wraps her arms around my body and pulls me close.
"She'll be alright Toby," Lauren says ever so softly. She runs her hand through my hair and it calms me. We sat and waited. I started to tear up again. "Laur.... I'm scared... Our baby.... What if.." I saw cut off by Lauren saying "don't talk like that Tobin. She'll fight with every ounce of fight she has."
Then we here "Where's Tobin?!!!!" I look up and see a doctor with a bunch of blood on his scrubs. This couldn't be good....
"Will you please follow me to see Alex?" The doctor asks. "I-is she o-okay?" I ask sobbing. "That's what I'd like to talk about. The bullet broke her hip bone. And since she's pregnant, she'll have to hope her hip's healed before she's in labor or she is gonna have to have surgery to have the baby," he says. This was so much to take in. We reach her room and I see her laying in the bed.
"Alex!" I run up to her and cry into her neck. "Are you ok?" I ask. "Hey now. I'm alright. The baby's ok. I'm gonna be ok. You're gonna be ok," Alex says sliding her arm underneath and around my side. Lauren follows and hugs Alex. "I'm so glad you're ok Alex. You had me worried sick," Lauren says.
"Im gonna give you two some time and I'll be back with coffees for me and Tobin and a hot chocolate for you Alex," Lauren says getting up and running my back.
"Hey Alex. You're 7 months pregnant. I can't wait to see our baby," I say. "Me too, I love you baby. I'm so glad I'm alright," Alex says. "Hey Lex, what do you wanna name our kid?" I ask. "Well I was thinking of it was a boy, Taner Daniel Morgan-Heath and for a girl I wasn't sure. I was thinking Rebecca Ann Morgan-Heath. What do you think?" Alex asks. "I love those names!...... So do you think your hip will heal before it's time?"
"I hope so, you know surgery really scares me," Alex says. "You'll be ok if you do have to do the surgery. I promise," I say cuddling up closer to Alex.
"Wanna watch a movie until Lauren comes back with our drinks or do you want me to run downstairs and grab us some sandwiches?" I ask. "Movie until Lauren comes back. You know I don't like being in hospital rooms by myself," Alex says.
