Recap:

"My fiance," I paused as a million of pictures of today's event's flashed through my head before taking a breath and continuing, "He was brought in a little while ago from an ambulance. His name is Talon West."

She nodded, then started typing a few things on her computer before she stops and looked back up at me with a small, sad smile, "I'm sorry, miss, but Mr West is still in the Intensive Care Unit. It will probably be a while before he's out. You can wait here, I'll let that doctor know that the patient has family here so he can come and talk to you when he's out."

This is bad.

This is bad.

This is bad.

That is the only sentence that kept running through my head over and over again. I felt dead; like a zombie. I was here, people could talk to me; explain things to me, but I couldn't understand any of it. It wasn't processing correctly. I was numb.

I don't know when, but after about an hour of me switching from pacing the floor to sitting down, my parents and Danny walked through the door. When they saw me, my mom started running towards me and threw her arms around me, hugging me tightly.

"Oh gosh, Jess! We were so scared! We thought we lost you! You wouldn't believe how relieved and gracious it was when we got that call from Detective Cruz saying that Talon found you and that you were safe and sound.Oh, baby, I'm so glad you're okay!" She paused for a second before unhooking me from her hug, but keeping me at arm's length before continuing, "But then we just got another call from Detective Cruz telling us about what happened with Talon. I'm so sorry, dear."

I nodded, unable to speak as I'm on the verge of tears. Once my mother got through with hugging me, my dad came over and pulled me into a fatherly hug. I rested gently against him, taking in his fatherly scent and warmth, letting it calm me before he pulled away and lightly kissed my forehead.

Danny was next, giving me a big, brotherly bear hug, "I'm so glad you're okay and I know you're worried, but there's no need of that. It's going to be okay, sis. He'll get through this. He's strong and there's no way in hell he'd leave you right after he just got you back."

I was trying to be strong myself, but what he said brought tears to my eyes. With everything that's going on and my emotions from my pregnancy, my hormones are going crazy. I hope he's right though, I need Talon more than ever right now.

It's been over two hours since we've all been sitting out in the waiting room together and there was still no word on his condition. The only thing the nurse at the desk is telling me is that he's still in the ICU. I'm sure everyone of us is going out of our minds between trying to stay strong for one another to trying to predict what his condition is to trying to come up with something that'll keep us all occupied.

Thankfully, no one brought up what happened when Jordan kidnapped me or Jordan in general, but I think that they already know what happened with Jordan. I'm sure Detective Cruz most likely already filled them in on that.

"Do you want anything from the snack machines, baby?" My mom said for the thousandth time since they got here.

By this point I was annoyed by her asking constantly. I knew it was out of good graces and that she was just looking out for me, but after asking me over and over again, it gets on my nerves. All my focus is on Talon right now, not eating.
