"Lauren! No!" Jay screamed putting more pressure on her wound.
"Chief... the ambulance is on it way," one of the officers said.
"No. We're taking her now. I'm not waiting," he said keeping his hand on her wound as he scooped her up. "Dalton you're driving," he said heading back out to his jeep.
Dalton opened the back door for him and Jay jumped in holding Lauren close. "Just hang on babe, please hang on," he pleaded.
He dialed Will as Dalton drove. "Jay?" Will answered.
"I.... I.... I need you to meet us at the hospital. We're ten minutes out. Please Will," Jay begged.
"Ok. Ok. Tell me what we're working with," he said relaying with his eyes to Nat he had to go. She and Shay promised to keep the kids and Kelly went with Will.
"A... uh... through and through gun shot wound. I've... I've got pressure on the wound. She... passed out. Her pulse is steady though."
"We'll be ready," Will promised as they hung up.
Jay checked to make sure she wasn't losing too much blood, before putting his hand back on it hard. "Come on baby. Open your eyes please," he begged. Lauren never even flinched.
They arrived at the hospital and Will had a gurney waiting outside for them. Kelly jerked the back door open and helped Jay get her out. "Let's move," Will ordered taking over applying pressure as they wheeled her in.
Jay was at a lost. There went his whole world and he couldn't go with her.
"Jay... man. Come on. Let's get you cleaned up," Kelly said quietly. He knew Jay needed to get all the blood off.
"I... I.... I.... shot her Kelly... I did this. She's... this.... it's my fault," he cried punching the nearest thing which happened to be the hospital wall.
"Stop. Jay, damn it stop!" Kelly yelled wrapping his arms around a fighting Jay to get him to stop.
"You did what you had to. You essentially saved her. There's no telling what he would've done to her you hear me? It's ok. She'll be ok," Kelly said.
"I shot her," he cried completely losing it.
"I know... I know." Kelly saw Will coming out and sighed.
"Well?" He asked Will which caught Jay's attention.
"They've taken her into surgery to clean it out and stitch it up. She should be ok."
"Good. Good," Kelly said lost in his own thoughts. He couldn't imagine what Jay was feeling right now.
"Come on let's clean you up and bandage those knuckles," Will said looking pointedly at Jay's hands as he took his arm.
"I... I... shot her Will," he cried trying to push away from him.
