My FreakShow (J.D Fanfiction)

Dead Baby

Jimmy's POV

My hands are shaking, well, if you can even call them that. I can hear Bette and Dot's screaming, they're screaming in agony because of me. God, I feel so bad that I can't actually be there for them,hold their hands and tell them everything is gonna be alright...

Instead all I can focus on is what Doc told me, that one of the twins weren't pushing, and that they needed to perform C-Section if they wanted to deliver our baby and the twins. The housewife told me to sit outside whilst they performed the surgery.

"AGGHHH" cried Dot.

"PUSH, please Dot, you need to do this, come on, let's push together- JIMMY!" cried Bette.

I scrambled to my feet and rushed over to their room, only to be stopped by a short, asian nurse, with dark bags hung under her eyes.

"Sorry Sir, but you cannot enter a room whilst surgery is taking place- please go and have a seat". she said quickly.

I pushed past her, "SIR" she called after me.

I barged through the doors, there was blood everywhere, on the floor, on the bed and all over the doctors equipment.

Then my eyes meet a body, the loves of my life, shaking ferociously, I ran up to them gripping both their hands, they looked at me.

"Jimmy?" Dot said.

"I'm right here baby", I caressed her cheek, a tear fell down but I wiped it away with my single thumb.

She held onto my thumb, "Jimmy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that this all is happening, I'm sorry you're not getting your happy family with us-".

I cut her off before she could say anything else, "Dot, you and Bette have been the best thing in my life, alright doll? So, don't worry about all this, we'll pull through, okay?"

She smiles at me, but her smile dies when Bette isn't saying anything.

"Bette?" I ask

Dot turns her head to see Bette still, her eyelids close but her mouth left open.

I rush over to Bette, and shake her.

"Bette? Bette cmon get up- Doc give her somethin, I know she ain't left me yet".

He looks at me and then at my hands, "I'm sorry Jimmy, she's gone, it's only a matter of time before the other one dies" he walks but stops at the door, "Freaks don't breed with other freaks, know that Jimmy." And with that he walks out.

If panic wasn't overflowing in me, I would of run after him and sort him out, but all I can process now is that one of the mother's of my child is dead.

I turn to look back at Dot and hold her hand, her grip tightens as she smiles.

"I remember that sweet smile you gave me when I first saw you, Jimmy. You help me break my shell and learn to love. Now"- tears began to fall down her sweet face, "I need you to find love, Jimmy, you need to start a family" my head falls down, I start to cry aswell, she grabs my chin and pulls it up to her face, so she's looking straight into my eyes.

DOT'S POV

His soft, lost and innocent eyes look at back at mine, I want to kiss him, but I need to get it out before I go.

"Jimmy, you're gonna have to move on, it's okay, you'll find someone, I thought I was lonely all my life, but I had my dear Bette with me" tears welling up in my eyes "someone in this filthy goddamn world will love you for you Jimmy, remember that".

I let out a long breath, I look at the end of the room and see Bette, smiling, she's waiting for me.

The Time is now.

"Don't forget, I love you, Jimmy," I wipe his tears away, "Jimmy Darling".

I scream out as I feel pressure being lifted off me, and with that I join Bette hand in hand into the bright light.

JIMMY'S POV

I hear a cry as I see our dead baby cry out for the first and last time. I go over towards it, it's a boy and has normal hands. He would've had a normal life.

The heart monitor goes flat, as the ever continuous beep drowns out the cry of my dead son.

I fall to the floor and cry, I've lost everything.
