Chapter Twelve - the baby

CHAPTER TWELVE -

Austin

Brian looked at his watch. "Something is up, they should be here by now!"

I felt sick now, what would happen if something went wrong? I had to get back inside and take a look. We were outside the work house. We had got out through the side door in the dining hall, when Rico was about to lock it, but Justin had kicked Brian hard in the shin so Rico forgot all about the door.

"I am going to see what is taking them so long." I said, turning away from Brian and Khloe.

I zapped into the dining hall.

"Shit! Who did this to her?" I shouted.

Nadine was limping across the dining hall, screaming, with a bullet wound in her stomach. Justin was supporting her. He had his hand around her waist. If I wasn't this shocked or worried I would have beaten him up. Nadine stood up looking at me.

"Austin-n the baby-y..." She fell to the floor before she could finish the sentence.

"She's just passed out, she has lost loads of blood" Fleur said her voice wobbling "Its my fault, she took the bullet for me."

She sobbed on Luke's shoulder. "I'm sorry, I am so sorry."

I was by Nadine's side. I took hold of her hand, just like I had done earlier, we had to save her. She meant everything to me. I know I didn't tell her that a lot, but she was the best thing that had ever happened to me.

"We need to get her out of here!" I ordered. I picked up Nadine and swung her over my shoulder carefully, I didn't want to hurt the baby.

"Oh shit, the baby!" I said out loud.

I zoomed out of the room to Brian. He gasped when he saw Nadine. Brian bent down to her side. He examined the problem.

"Does anyone have a knife on them?" Brian snapped.

Khloe took a knife from her boot. "Back up knife."

Brian took it and lifted up Nadine's top "Now we operate..."

Justin

Fleur held the knife, her hand shaking. She took a deep breath then sliced down Nadine's stomach slowly. Nadine screeched, but she couldn't punch or kick anyone or shoot ice blocks out of her hands. Austin and Khloe were holding her down. Austin looked away. He looked as if he was going to cry. I had seen worse, so I could watch as Fleur put her hand inside of her stomach.

"Brian help me, I need you to cut the cord!" Fleur snapped, stressed out.

She looked down at her hands and started to cry. They were stained with blood. "Brian!"

Brian was by her side, Fleur held up the baby up. Brian cut the cord, he then held the baby in his arm.

"Austin, it's a girl" He said, passing her to Austin.

Nadine had passed out while Fleur placed her bloody hand on the slice down her stomach.

Seeing my brother hold the baby, my niece in his arms made something melt inside. Like my ice heart had finally cracked.

I looked down at Nadine. She looked so lifeless, Brian felt for her pulse.

"There is a pulse but, she is not waking up!" Brian panicked.

And she didn't...
