Alex sits in the waiting room and leans his head back against the wall and shuts his eyes.

Raquel looks at rearview mirror and moves as close to the door as possible to stay out of its view. She closes her eyes, gently massaging her stomach

About a half hour later, one of the doctors comes out and addresses Alex...

Doctor: Mr. Edwards, is it? I would....this is difficult. It seems Mr. Cortez has had a very....bad reaction to the Black Lotus Heroin. He's...slipping in and out of conciousness. The next twenty four to forty eight hours are going to be...very critical. If he can't reach an optimum level in his vitals....there is a strong possiblility....that we might lose him.

Alex sighs.

Alex: I see thankyou Doctor..... could you tell me if my mother is still here.... Dr. Jillian Edwards?

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:28 pm

The doctor checks the register...

Doctor: Yes, she's right now in a board meeting that should just be letting out.

Gabe pulls into the parking lot, right up to the E.R. doors...

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:30 pm

Gabe barely has time to stop the car before Raquel is in the hospital...She runs up to the front desk

Raquel:"Shawn Cortez, please, where is he?"

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:32 pm

The nurse at the reception desk looks and says...

Nurse: Room 239, hon.

Alexis runs right over to Alex and hugs him like she never intends to let go.

Alexis: What happened? Was she still there? I'm so glad you're safe... and I'm coming with you next time.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:33 pm

Without a second thought Raquel runs to the nearest staircase, up to the 2nd level and to room 239

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:36 pm

Shawn's eyes are still black, he's on oxygen and he is ever so pale. He looks to see who entered the room....

Shawn: H....ey.....there's....my.....girl....

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:38 pm

Alex hugs Lexi in much the same way.

Alex: Hey baby.... no she was long gone...... and wait..... you're expecting a next time?

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:39 pm

Alexis: I mean I don't want you to ever leave without me again.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:41 pm

Raquel feels weak as she sees Shawn like this. She slowly walks up to him, touching his hand. The moment she feels him she breaks down, sobbing uncontrollably into him

Raquel:"I......I.....shouldn't....~sniffle~......I shouldn't have........left.....I...........I should have........been there.........this.......~sniffle~.....we could have........a..........avoided...........I'm............."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:41 pm

Alex: Sorry my love..... I promised you I wouldn't let Raquel go.... keeping that promise meant you couldn't go either.

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:43 pm

Alexis just hugs Alex for a little while.

Alexis: How is Shawn?

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:44 pm

Shawn weakly holds her....

Shawn: Wh...at....is....thi....s? T...tears....my....gir...l...shoul....dn't be....cry...ing....I'll.....be.......ff....inn...e.....

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:45 pm

Alex: They're.... not sure if he's going to make it..... Caley gave him a huge dose of Heroin..... it could go either way....

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:46 pm

Raquel:"I......~sniff~....I....thought I......I.....lost......lost.......you"

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:48 pm

The doctor in the room looks at Raquel...

Doctor: Miss....may I speak with you, outside please?

Pockets Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:49 pm

Alexis' eyes widen.

Alexis: Oh no... Gabe is parking the car... is Jayden still here?

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:50 pm

Raquel:"Please...can...can I stay with....him for...a bit longer...?"

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:50 pm

Alex: i haven't seen him.....

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:51 pm

Doctor: Ma'am...I really think you should find out what's going on with him....

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:53 pm

Raquel:"Alright..
she kisses shawns forehead and joins the doctor outside

Cryonix Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:53 pm

The doctor give her the needed time. When she finally steps outside the room, with hushed tones...the doctor breaks the bad news to Raquel...
