Deadly but Silent

Elijah's POV
Jenny falls into my arms, and I see that she has gone unconscious. I listen for her heart beat, but don't hear it. "We need to get her to the hospital!" I say. "Let me call an ambulance." Rebekah says, grabbing her phone, but I shake my head. "No, that won't be fast enough. I'll take her myself. Call Matt and Alaric." I say, then stand up with her still in place. "What about her brothers?" Nicklaus asks. "Do what you think is best." I say, then vamp speed out of the house.

I arrive at the hospital, and walk in. A nurse walks up to me, and I act like a scared human. "Help my little sister! She's 32 weeks pregnant, with twin girls. She collapsed in my arms." I say hurriedly, and the nurse pulls a gurney towards us. I lay her down, and they take off with her. "Sir, were gonna do everything we can for them." One nurse says, then walks in the same direction.

3rd person POV
The nurses wheel Gracelyn into the OR, and the doctors walk in. "Prep for a c-section." One says.

The doctor slides the scalpel across Gracelyns stomach, and blood pours from the cut.

While Gracelyns body lays still on the table, she is screaming on the inside. Jenny feels as the doctor placed her hands in her stomach, looking for the premature babies. Jenny cries out in pain, but no one hears. On the inside, she is screaming and crying. On the outside, she is lifeless.

The doctor removes his hands from Gracelyns stomach, and the nurses look to him. "Who has priority?" One asks. "I'm not loosing any of them!" He says. "If. Who has priority IF it comes down to it?" She asks again. "The father isn't here. I believe it's better to loose one, instead of two." He says, and they all nod, then dive back in

Jenny cries as she feels the tugs of the doctor. This is worse than anything she went through when she was a prisoner of Augustine. Jenny feels something change in her heart, and feels her beat slow.

The heart monitor provides the medicine students with one long, drawn out beep. The doctor pulls the second twin out, and a second cry fills the room. "Alright, take the girls out!" The doctor says, and they wheel the girls out in there own incubators. The doctor turns back to Gracelyn, and sighs. "How long?" He asks. "Fifteen minutes, Sir." A different nurse replies. "Alright. Clean up." He says, then throws away his gown and gloves.

The doctor walks over to the group of people seemingly waiting for his patient, and they all look at him. "The girls are fine." He says, and they all sigh of happiness. He stands there until a raven haired man breaks the love. "What about Genevieve? Is she okay?" He asks. The doctor looks at all the suddenly somber faces. "Her heart gave out. I'm sorry for your loss." He says, and they all turn to one another for support.
