When we fall apart

31

The first few hours after her the chemotherapy went smoothly so Maggie and Patrick head home as well as Finneas and Claudia.
Night time rolls around and that's when things take a turn for the worst.
Celestial notices Billie start to struggle for air and so she lifts up her head in hopes that clears her airways.
"Don't leave me, don't leave me." Celestial whispers watching her vitals drop.
"Someone please help me!!" Celestial yells at the same time that the alarms go off.
A bunch of different doctors and nurses rush into the room.
"Billie!" Celestial cries out as she is asked to leave the room.
"LET ME IN!" Celestial shouts and bangs on the door.
One of the nurses goes up behind her and tried to comfort her but the second Celestial feels a hand on her she whips around, "don't you fucking touch me." She sternly tells the nurse with out a second thought.
She falls to the floor and cries.
"1
2
3"
She hears the doctors say followed by
"No pulse. Again."

"Please come back. Come back home."
Celestial cries to herself over and over again.
One of the nurses tries to confront Celestial again and goes to sit next to her.
"Didn't you hear me, I said don't fucking touch me!" Celestial yells, she stands up and faces the door.
She looks into the window of the door and tries to see as best as she can despite the tears fogging up her vision.
"Baby I'm right here, please come back." Celestial shouts while they are trying to get a pulse back.
"Come back home."

"Last time."
The doctor shouts to his team.
Celestial can't hear anything else, she's crying to hard to pay attention.
She doesn't think, she just opens the door abruptly and runs to Billie.

Someone tries to get her back out but at the same time someone else says,"Wait! We got a pulse!"
Celestial pushes her way closer to Billie.
The line that was once flat starts to change.
"We got a pulse! I repeat! We got a pulse!!" The doctor announces.
Everyone cheers and Celestial smiles and wipes the tears of her face.
Maggie, Patrick, Finneas, and Claudia wall into the room distraught thinking they would be saying goodbye to Billie.
"We got her back." The Doctor tells them all,Maggie drops to her knees and cries from being so overwhelmed with joy.
"It wasn't until Celestial broke into the room. I told you, she's something special, they have something special." The doctor says again then says, "Her vitals are back to normal."

He looks over to Billie and sees Billie not only alive but her eyes open and smiling at Celestial who is holding her hand.
"I'll leave you guys alone for now. She's going to be just fine. We will run a few scans but I have this gut feeling that the worst of it is over." The doctor says and then leaves.

Everyone goes over and sits by Billie's bed.
Celestial and Billie just gaze into each others eyes.
"I love you." Billie says
Celestial gets into bed with Billie, "I love you too. I was so scared. You wheee here one minutes and then gone the next and now..." Celestial says
"Hey hey it's okay now. I'm here. You're safe, I'm safe. We are all okay." Billie says interrupting her and then kisses her forehead.
Celestial blushes and then gently kisses Billie on the lips.
"Come here bubs." Billie says opening her arms up.
Celestial snuggles up in Billie's arms.
They eventually drift off to sleep.
Everyone is allowed to stay the night just to be sure that Billie is going to be okay.
She has another scan scheduled in a couple days.
Everyone is just so relieved that Billie is going to make it through another night.
The doctor was right, Billie and Celestial have a special connection.
