Trouble In Paradise- A Manstead Fanfic (COMPLETE)

Chapter 53- Can I Come?

Will POV:

"Natalie?!" I shout as she passes out.

Maybe two seconds after she passes out she starts convulsing. I quickly turn her towards her left side, but her wheelchair doesn't allow me to do it fully. I quickly dial 911 as I make sure she doesn't hit her head on anything.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"My wife... she's having a seizure. She also has metastatic leukemia, and she's 28 weeks pregnant."

"Okay, help is on the way. Please remain calm."

As Natalie's seizure comes to an end I brush her hair out of her face and immediately pull my hand back. She's on fire!

I quickly grab a thermometer, which I luckily had in the living room already, and take her temperature. When the thermometer beeps it says that her temperature is at 103.2.

"Dr. Halstead?" I hear Brett day from behind me.

"Brett, she has a fever of 103.2. I'm scared." I say as tears flow down my cheeks.

"It'll be okay, it's probably just a virus, everyone is catching it. Calm down, she'll be okay." She says as they transfer her onto the stretcher.

They take her temperature again, which confirmed that it's at 103.2, and insert an IV and start her on saline. As they lead her out I follow.

"Daddy? Is Mommy okay?" I hear Zoe ask.

I quickly turn around and see both her and Owen standing on the stairs, tears in their eyes. I quickly tell Brett I'll be right back, before running over to them.

"It's okay, Mommy is going to be just fine, she just didn't feel to good." I say, trying to not reveal the fact that she had a seizure.

"B... but momma was shaking." Owen says, clutching onto his teddy bear.

"A... and you were scared, you still are. Please tell us." Zoe pleads, tears streaming down her face.

"It's going to be okay, we're gonna take mommy to the doctors and everything is going to be okay."

"Can I come with?" Owen asks, already trying to walk down the remaining stairs.

"Me too!" Zoe says, before burying her face in her teddy bear once again.

"I... um... okay. But when we get there you're going to have to stay with Aunt Maggie, or Aunt April. Deal?" I say, just hoping to be able to get back out to Natalie.

"Okay." They say before running out the door.

I quickly climb up into the ambulance before helping both the kids up. They sit on my lap, and I grab Natalie's hand. As we start moving, both the kids flinch at the loud sirens blaring above us. I tighten my grip on them as well as on Natalie's hand.

"30 year old female, pregnant, metastatic leukemia which has spread to her lungs and spine, pregnant, was seizing on the scene, fever of 103.6, and unconscious. It's Dr. Manning." Brett says as she wheels Natalie in, as I follow closely behind.

Maggie comes running up to me, obviously concerned. She takes the kid's hands before leading them into the doctors lounge. I run into Natalie's room as they transfer her onto the bed.

As they hook her up to the heart monitor I'm pushed out of the room. No, I need to be next to her. I try and push my way back in but they eventually lock me out. I watch helplessly as they help Natalie ride another seizure out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I'm sitting next to Natalie in her ICU room, her heart rate drops. I see her struggling to breath, wheezing every few seconds desperately trying to fill her lungs with air. I quickly hit the code blue button before I lower her bed down and start CPR.

"I've got it Will!" I hear someone shout from behind me.

I stumble back to my seat as the room fills with a dozen doctors and nurses. I watch hopelessly from the side as they have to shock Natalie's heart to restart it.

"We need to intubate!" Someone shouts in between shocks.

They quickly intubate Natalie, then her stats return to normal. As they all leave, they give me sympathetic looks, some even patting me on the back.
