"The doctor will be with you shortly."
*a few minutes later*
*Jack's POV*
The doctor walks in.
"Hey Jack, how are you holding up?"
"Hey doc, can you just be honest with me? What are her chances of surviving this?"
"Jack, listen, her heart stopped beating on my table. We did everything we possibly could to save it and we did. Unfortunately, she was out for a very long time so until she wakes up, we won't know if she has brain damage or how severe it may be. All we can do right now is monitor her and make sure she's stable so that she can hopefully wake up sooner than later."
"What do you mean she was out for a very long time?"
"Her heart stopped beating on its own Jack, she was dead for several minutes. We did everything as fast as we possibly could to try and minimize the damage being done to her body but only time will tell."
"Oh" is all I can manage to choke out as sit there and picture what Alyssa had to go through.
"One more question doc."
"Of course, what's the question?"
"Did the stress from my actions do this to her heart?"
"Jack a lot of times heart conditions are genetic, and they can become an even bigger problem with pregnancy because it puts an added strain on the heart. It also could've been effected in her accident a few years back. I'm sure your shenanigans didn't help the situation overall, but this isn't entirely you're fault, so don't go blaming yourself. You need to focus on that beautiful baby of yours right now."
"Okay. Thank you sir."
"If you have any other questions feel free to let me know, I'll be back in a few hours to check in."
"Okay see you later."
I sit there for a few seconds after he closes the door and just stare off into space. This was all my fault. Everything she's been through has been my fault. The accident. This pregnancy. Her heart condition. Everything has been because of me. I cannot be the reason she never wakes up to see her daughter. Our daughter.
I kiss her forehead and mumble "I'm sorry" before I get up and leave.
I walk back to Sam and Isabella.
*Sam's POV*
"Hey little princess" I say as I rock her in my arms.
"You're so beautiful. Just like your momma."
She wiggles around a bit and makes a few squeaks and squeals here and there, but other than that she's completely content in my arms. My heart physically hurts just thinking about her mother right now. The pain she must be in. Everything she had to go through for her. And now she may never see her. I can't raise this baby with Jack and not Alyssa. Jack and I used to be best friends and now we can't even be in the same room as each other for more than 5 minutes without wanting to kill each other. This is all my fault. Everything that has happened to her has been because of Jack. I should've never let her keep getting involved with him. I knew it was never going to end well but I let it happen anyways. I'm so stupid. And now she has a baby with him. Now she's going to be stuck with him for the next 18 years at least...and it's all my fault.
"Sam, hey" Jack says snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Look who's here Bella" I say to her softly as Jack walks into the room.
