Time Heals Everything

Chapter 13

JJs POV
"Thats us." We said looking at him and Jacob standing next to us with Debra and Mike
"How is she?" Jacob asked concerned
"She coded in the ambulance and again in the OR. But we were able to get her stable. She lost a lot of blood. We were able to get the bullet out of her shoulder and the abdomen went all the way through. We put her in a coma for right now to allow some healing to happen." He said as we all were washed with relief
"Thank you Doctor." Will said
"We do want to have some blood incase something were to happen." He said and we all agreed and he left
I turned around and gave Jacob a huge hug and we both teared up.
"We are the same blood type but I cant donate to her." He said as we stood in a circle and we looked at him confused
"Why cant you donate?" Debra asked puzzled
"We got tattoos a month ago for my birthday. You have to wait a year before you can donate." He said rolling up his sleeve and showing us his arm half covered in a huge tattoo
"Atta boy." Will said
"What the hell!" Debra said as we both looked it over
"Its pretty cool huh." He said smiling
"What is it anyway?" Mike asked
"A mountain scene. Ive always wanted a sleeve. But this is my favorite." He said pulling up his other sleeve and he had small hearts on his wrist with a B and a R inside of them
"No more." I said smiling at the cute jester he did for them
"So we have a room ready for anyone who wants to see if they are a match. Who wants to see her first?" He asked us
"JJ?" Jacob asked looking at me indicating for me to go first
"No, you go first. I will go in when your done." I said not wanting to take him away from seeing her
"Thank you." He said pulling me into a hug and following the doctor

The doctor came back and told us what room she was in. I wandered away from the group and stood near the door listening to Jacob talk to her
"Babe, I know you are in a coma but I read somewhere that you can hear me." He paused
"We missed you so much. It might have been two days but it was the most nerve racking two days. Rae was asking for you. She can say almost full sentences and shes not even one. Shes going to be smart like you. I see you in her. Last night she was standing on the couch and jumping into the bean bag with no fear." He laughed "You cant miss out on her growing up. You cant miss out on our other child growing up. Ive talked to the doctor privately not to mention your are pregnant again but he told me there is a likely hood you will have another miscarriage for being in a coma and having all the stress of being shot at. But I will be here for you if we go through it again." He said sniffling like he was trying not to cry as I was having a few tears slip out
"Brittney I have always loved you since I saw you score that goal almost four years ago. If I had my way I would have proposed to you right after that goal. Our first date I will never forget you wore those jeans that you still fit after having our daughter, you had on a black v neck and what you called you lucky leather jacket. But I could have cared less what you were wearing. I wanted to know you and the real you. I fell in love with you on that first date. I will never stop loving you." He said as I cried a little more listening to him pour his heart out. I knocked lightly and he looked up
"Im sorry." I said wiping the tears away
"You heard all of that huh?" He asked looking back at Britt and I nodded
"Jacob she will be fine." I said sitting on her other side
"So theres a baby number two?" I asked with a small smirk
"Hopefully." He said looking at me
"We are here for you. We are a family." I said pushing back some of Britts hair
"We know. But we dont want anyone else to know so the hopes dont get to high." He said
"Wheres her tattoo?" I asked reflecting on the previous conversation
I watched him as turned her wrist around and she had identical hearts with a J and R.
"Thats really sweet of you two." I smiled at him
"She said she wanted us to be close to her even when shes far away." He smiled and wiped a few tears
"I love her so much." He said almost breaking down
"I know you do." I said knowing he does
We sat there making small talk before her machines started to beep like crazy
"Out of the way." The doctor ran in as I ran over close to Jacob
"We need a shot of adrenaline. Her blood is blocked in her carotid artery. We need to go back in. The bullet could have shattered a little bit. Get an OR open now. We could lose her and the baby." He said as they worked around her and pushed her into the hallway towards an OR
"No." Jacob said as he pulled me in close and we hugged both crying

We walked out to see everyone standing in shock.
"What happened?" Will asked looking into my eyes
"We we dont know." I stuttered out
Jacob walked backwards and slid down the wall crying. Rae was still at the hospital and walked over to Jacob. He pulled her into him and he just held her crying.
"Jennifer?" Will questioned me. Knowing he used my full name meant it was important
"The doctor said could lose the baby when they were running down the hallway." He said looking at me and all I could do was nod
"Oh no." He said pulling me into a hug.
This was going to be a long night.
