| As they got out of the car they saw that Joey had woken up. �Dawson!� Joey�s frail voice was barely audible. �You scared us for a minute there, I was...� Dawson was interrupted by Joey�s hand squeezing his tightly. �No time for banter Dawson. Andie says we need to get me delivered at once. One of the babies is in trouble.� Before he knew it, Joey had been wheeled into the hospital and pushed through to the maternity ward, leaving him standing at the reception with Pacey. �What you waiting for, follow her!� Pacey said, running to catch up with them. Dawson shook his head, trying to organise his thoughts but failing. He took off after Pacey and soon caught up with the trolley in a delivery room. They were both thrown scrubs by Andie. �Go into the next room and get changed. We are going to delivery immediately so meet us in the room opposite,� she barked across the room. Dawson just stood their looking at Joey, her face gripped with fear. He didn�t want to leave her. �No, I�m not leaving Joey. I�m...� �Dawson, I am not in the mood for mass romanticism here. You cannot be in the delivery room without those scrubs on. Now the sooner you do this, the sooner you can be back here with Joey.� Andie snapped, moving towards his and turning him around towards the door. �Come on D,� Pacey grabbed Dawson and dragged him through to the next door. Andie, relieved that Pacey was here with Dawson turned her attention to Joey. �Now you understand what I told you in the ambulance? The safest way to get these babies out is by C-Section.� Andie looked over at the anaesthetist who was administrating the epidural. �So you are going to lose all feeling from the chest down and then we are going to operate.� �Okay. Where�s Bessie?� Joey suddenly realised her sister was missing. �She is with Gail in the waiting area by now, don�t panic. Everything is going to be fine.� Andie said, stroking the hair away from Joey�s pale face. �I�m going to take care of you and your babies.� |
