Shocking news(2)
Tears began to form in Maya`s eyes, she could do nothing but hold her wife`s head, she was prepared for the vessels to last at least 20 seconds, but they ended literally immediately and a real nightmare began, a straight line. Maya was screaming her wife`s name again, she could see Jack`s worries, but she quickly turned on the paramedic mode and said one phrase with waterfall of tears in her eyes: "STARTING DOING COMPRESSION"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Сarina was always very considerate, so she chose a hotel near the hospital to get there quickly in case of an emergency, but she didn't know that it could save her life....
***Maya***
I knew the ride from the hotel to the hospital was only 5 minutes, but it turned out to be very long. I had to resuscitate my wife for 5 minutes, but when we were almost at our destination, her heartbeat recovered and I calmed down a little. I couldn't understand what had caused this reaction, she had just thrown up.
While Karina was lying there and her vitals were normal, I decided to call Andi and ask her to call me, or rather, to let her know that I would not be on duty today, even though I was on desk duty. I called her once and she didn't pick up, I was just concentrating on Karina again when my phone rang, it was Andy.
"Maya, hi," she said sadly. At first I thought she already knew, but I waited for Andy to continue talking.
"Maya, you and Jack need to come back to the station, something's happened." I didn't understand what could have happened at the precinct while I was gone.
"Andy, I can't come back now, I'm in the ambulance with Сarina" I felt tears come to my eyes again as I said it out loud, my panic growing, I heard silence on the other side of the phone
"What, why, what's wrong with you?" - These questions confused me a bit, Andy thought that something had happened to me again and it`s even funny a little bit, and I was ready to accept it just so Сarina would be okay
"No, Andy, it wasn't me, it was Сarina. She felt sick after my lasagna, but then she fainted and ....." I managed to say the gist of it, and I hoped Andy would understand.
"Maya.... "Andy didn't know what to say, she, as a paramedic and firefighter, realized that Maya hadn't said anything. She didn't know what to do, with Cooper and the rest of the team on one side and Maya, her friend, almost a sister, on the other. Suddenly, Vic and Theo entered the room. Vic was upset and Theo was angry. But Andy realized they could help her solve the problem, "Maya, wait a minute ......". Maya heard Andy calling for Vic and Theo, heard Andy explaining the situation, and heard Vic start crying and Theo asking more questions.
Maya again thought about everything that had happened, but she felt the car stop. At first she wanted to yell at Jack to keep driving, but she looked out the side window and realized they were at the entrance of Grey Sloan. "Andy!" - no answer - "Andy!"
"Maya, I'm here, I can hear you, what's going on?" - Andy asked, her voice was excited and she could hear she was holding back tears
"We're at Grey Sloan, I'll call you later." - Andy didn't have time to respond, because I turned off the phone and started to open the door of the ambulance. I was greeted by Miranda, Owen and the interns I didn't see.
"A woman, 38 years old, lost consciousness about 6 minutes ago and did not regain consciousness, her heart stopped 5 minutes ago, restored the rhythm a minute ago, no diseases." - Maya tried to speak as accurately as possible to help the doctors
"Maya, we have her, go to the waiting room with Jack, we'll co.." Bailey didn't have time to finish, because Сarina started to convulse again.
"Take her to the trauma 1, NOW! " - Owen is the first to come out of the trance
Jack was watching and holding me so that I wouldn't disturb the doctors, but I was still breaking out when Miranda came up to me and started talking:
"Maya, listen to me, you can't help me now, you have to calm down."
"No, no, I can't. I have to be with her, you don't understand!" - tears appeared in my eyes again, but I ignored them
"I understand, Maya. But calm down." - Miranda turned and went to the emergency room to see Owen.
"Maya, everything will be fine, Сarina is strong" - I just remembered that Jack was also with me
***Сarina***
At first I felt myself being lifted up, then taken to the ambulance, I felt Maya's hand on mine, but then I stopped hearing anything. It was dark, it felt like it lasted for several minutes. I felt the cold hit me. I opened my eyes and saw Seattle at night. I was near a small house, it looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out how I knew it, and suddenly, in the second floor window, I saw Maya, but something was wrong, she was younger. I immediately realized that something was wrong with me if I saw young Maya. She was so sweet, so beautiful, I wanted to go to her and hug her so badly, but I heard a man's voice start yelling in her room, I knew who it was right away, it was Lane, Maya's dad. They were arguing for a few minutes, then I saw him swing at her, I wanted to run, but my legs wouldn't move, so I just closed my eyes, I didn't want to see it. As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt a change. As soon as I dared to look, shock gripped my body. I was in Italy, at my father's house, but he did not see me. I immediately realized that he was in a manic state, I tried to call him, to help him, but he did not hear or see me. A second later, my mom ran into the room, and I stood there frozen and couldn't take my eyes off her. She was perfect, just as I remembered her. Lucia started to fight with Vincenzo. They were screaming at each other louder than I had ever heard, but no, I had, and that was the day she packed her things and left for America with Andrea. I couldn't look at it anymore, so I turned my head and saw myself and Andrea on the stairs, sitting next to me, hugging me. He was scared, but my gaze was determined.
Now I didn't have to close my eyes or do anything else because I was in a place I didn't know. Suddenly I saw Andy sitting on a chair with her head bent over the table. She was sleeping. I walked closer and saw scattered photos of her dad, some policeman, and, as I realized, her mom. Andi was crying, you could see it in her red eyes. Also on her desk were photos of people from the station, Jack, Vic, Dean, Travis, Ben, Maya, and someone else I don`t know. I really liked one photo where Vic and Travis are hugging and laughing, I picked it up and suddenly found myself back in the house I was seeing for the first time. I turned my head and saw the photos on the shelf and realized where I was, it was Travis' house. I wanted to get closer and look at the photos, but I heard voices, they belonged to Theo and Travis. I got closer to them and saw Montgomery yelling at Ruiz to get out of his house, to not come back, that Travis didn't want to see him. There were tears in their eyes and I realized what was happening - the day Michael, Travis' husband, died. I began to realize what was happening to me, I was in the worst days of every person close to me.
Next was Victoria, the day Lucas died. Then there was Jack, when Dean died. Ben, when he found out about Miranda's heart attack. All the worst days.
They were people from the station, and now I was in the hospital. I stood outside the ward and Amelia was in it. She was younger and I saw her holding a baby in her arms and crying. I remembered her telling me this story, and it was hard for me to watch, so I closed my eyes again. I was in Jo's office, she was sitting with a letter in her hands, a letter from Alex. Then there was Teddy, and when I saw her, the worst day I ever cried was the day my sweet Andrea died.
After all this, I was given a rest, I was just walking the streets and did not understand what to do, when suddenly I heard someone approaching me, I turned and immediately recognized him, the 17-year-old me recognized him. I was so scared, I felt like I couldn't breathe....
***Reality***
Сarina was still unconscious, and Maya was sitting next to her and holding her hand. Several doctors stood outside the room and did not understand why Сarina did not wake up.
"Сarina, you have to wake up, you can't leave me, I'll get better, I promise, I'll go to Diana, just live, hold on for my sake." - Maya was almost praying. Suddenly, the monitors started beeping and everyone rushed into the room. Jo started to pull Maya away from the bed.
"She's having a heart attack!" - Teddy shouted while others helped her.
"No, no, no, Сarina! Let me go to her, I'll help you, just let me go." - Maya begged Joe to let her go. Jo hesitated and looked at Teddy and Amelia, the two doctors looked at each other and nodded at Jo.
"Сarina, if you can hear me, breathe. If something terrible happens, don't worry, I'm with you, you're safe." - Maya said, holding her hands on her wife's face
***Сarina***
He came even closer to me and looked at me with his hungry gaze. I still couldn't breathe, he was holding my hand and breathing into my neck. I was about to lose consciousness when I heard a familiar voice, but I couldn't understand it. The voice was getting louder and louder, and I realized it was my Maya, a voice I recognize out of a thousand. I didn't pay attention to that guy anymore, all I thought about was Maya. She was by my side and I calmed down, my breathing resumed.
"Bella, you saved me again" - I said and looked into my favorite blue eyes that looked like the ocean
"Сar, I will always save you, just come back to me." - Maya said in the sweetest voice I've ever heard
"I don't know how, I want to, but I don't know how" - I said without remembering how I started crying.
"Just close your eyes and hold me" - Maya said. I immediately leaned against her and did as she said. My eyes went white and I fainted again, I was getting annoyed of it
***Reality***
The monitors began to align.
"Damn, Karina, you scared us," - Amelia said, still wondering if she was okay.
"Maya, how did you do that?" - Teddy stood there in shock.
"She had a panic attack, I had to calm her down," Maya said, still looking at her wife's face.
"We need to take her for a checkup and find out why her heart stopped on the way to Grey Sloan," - Jo interjected.
Сarina underwent various anilizations, but Maya did not leave her side and hardly spoke
Teddy, Amelia, and Joe forced Maya to go eat something, and at first she refused, but her stomach said otherwise, so she gave in and went out for some snacks.
***Station***
Theo barely managed to calm Vic down and the three of them stood there in silence, not knowing what to do, when other firefighters came in.
"We have to go to the hospital," Andy said bluntly, and everyone turned to her with shocked faces.
"Why?" - almost everyone said in chorus, except Beckett.
"Сarina was hospitalized and Maya needs us" - Andy said, and everyone was silent. Ben looked over at Vic and Theo, who nodded their heads and acknowledged
"No one is going anywhere, there are still a few hours left in your shift." - Beckett barely managed to say. Everyone had such anger in their eyes that words could not express it.
Everyone started arguing, Vic was holding Theo, and Andy was yelling at her captain
"She's our family, we have to be with her in the worst of times!" - Andy screamed, but Beckett didn't care, so she made a decision that could cost her career
"I'm leaving without your permission" - Everyone stopped talking and looked at Andy and Beckett.
"You know how this will end, Herrera" - Finally, the captain said
"I don't care, we have been ignoring the problems for too long" - Andy took off her badge and walked to the exit. She doesn't remember going downstairs, but she suddenly heard Vic calling her.
She said without turning around: "Victoria, you can't convince me, I'm leaving." Someone grabbed her arm and she turned around, but what she saw shocked her. The whole team was there, she looked up and saw Beckett on the second floor
"We need to be with Maya, she was with us in our worst times." - Jack said first and everyone looked at Andy nodding
***Hospital***
As Maya walked along the corridors, she had no thoughts in her head, she didn't want to run away from problems or fly in the clouds, there was nothing. Her attention was drawn to a noise at the entrance to the hospital. The blonde came a little closer and saw the cause of the noise. It was her team.
***Mayа***
"Maya!" - Andy shouted as soon as she saw me, and she ran up to me with the others. "What happened, where is Karina, what do the doctors say, are you okay?". I didn't have time to think through all the questions because I broke down, my legs gave out under me and I fell, but Andy caught me in time. I was crying, harder than ever. Everyone was silent and just sat next to me and Andy.
Some time passed and I remembered that I had to go back. I panicked, I had left Karina for too long, in case something happened to her, and I wasn't there. No, I had to go to her.
***Andy***
I felt Maya's breathing quicken and become shallow - she was having a panic attack
"I have to go, Karina is alone, I have to go.... if something happened to her ....... if she had another heart attack or another panic attack." - I saw Maya's eyes darting and her struggling to breathe
"Maya, you're having a panic attack and you need to calm down before you go to your wife, do you hear me?" - I said. - "Look at me, not "EYES FORWARD""
"Okay...." - I see that Maya has started to calm down
I heard someone approaching us, it was Bailey. I immediately pointed it out to Maya
"Please....." - I said to the heavens
***General***
"Bailey, is she alive, is she okay?" - Maya said breathlessly
Bailey smiled her most sincere smile: "She's waiting for you."
Maya ran away, no one even tried to stop her, but she wouldn't have cared anyway
Andy finally shed a tear and hugged Vic, and the whole team joined them
***Сarina***
The first thing I felt was pain in my eyes. It was very bright. Now I understand why people wake up after fainting confused
"Сarina!" it was Jo, and I recognized my student immediately. I love her, she is a wonderful person
I reached my hand to my head, but the wires were everywhere and I could not move freely, so I lowered my hand
"Сarina, we were so worried about you, don't ever do that again!" - I heard Amelia's tearing voice
"Where is Maya, I need Maya" - I began to speak, ignoring the words of my friends
"She has to be somewh...." - Amelia didn't have time to finish when Maya burst into the room, I laughed at her appearance, her ponytail falling out, her clothes crumpled.
"I'm here, Сarina, my love, I was so worried, I thought...." Maya began, and I saw the first signs of a panic attack, so I immediately grabbed her face. "Maya, I'm alive, I'm fine, I'm sorry I scared you."
"When I saw you like this, I didn't know what to do, and then your heart stopped and I had to do you ...." - Maya said in a panic, but I interrupted her "Bambina, it's okay, I'm here now, it's okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I treated you like that"
"I'm sorry for you too, and I shouldn't have said those terrible things to you."
We were leaning our heads against each other when Teddy came into the room, she looked at Maya and smiled gently at her, and Maya did the same
"Karina, I need to tell you something," I saw the seriousness of the situation on the doctor's face.
"Teddy, what is it?" - Maya asked with panic in her voice
"Сarina, you have сardiomyopathies" - Teddy said with a sad face, I had two emotions in my head, happiness and despair, I looked at Maya, she had other emotions: fear and incomprehension
"Wh, what does it mean, what is it?" - Maya finally said.
Teddy was about to speak, but I stopped her, Maya needs to hear it from me.
I exhaled all the air and started to say, "Maya, I'm pregnant....". I looked at her, her eyes were shining with happiness, her smile was from ear to ear, she was going to hug me, jump for joy. I started crying and her joy disappeared. Maya probably did not hear or understand the disease that Teddy called
"Сarina, what happened, why are you crying, is something wrong with the baby?"
"Maya, it's heterogeneous group of myocardial diseases associated with mechanical or electrical dysfunction." - Amelia helped me, she saw that I would not be able to say it
Maya's face changed, and she entered "Maya Bishop" mode. "What does that mean?" - I heard her captain's voice.
"Сarina has heart problems and we do not know if she will be able to give birth" - Teddy said calmly now. "Because of this, Сarina's heart stopped and she had a heart attack."
Maya turned to me and said that everything would be fine. I trusted her more than anyone, so I calmed down and finally breathed out
***General***
A few hours after the news, everyone was sitting in the room with Karina and Maya. Everyone was talking and asking how the brunette was feeling. The wives decided to tell the team about the baby, and the team promised to help in any way they could. Karina has never been so happy, she has a family.
A few hours later, everyone received a message to return to the station, the message was from Ross. Maya was grateful to everyone for what they had done, but now she was worried that her team might lose their jobs, but Andy immediately reassured her and said that they had decided to do it themselves
When everyone left, Teddy came into the room. "We're going to keep you here until tomorrow, so if you have any concerns, be sure to tell me."
"I promise I'll tell you right away!" -I promised. "And I promise I'll keep an eye on her," Maya said with a smile.
Teddy nodded and walked out
"We will manage it, everything will be fine," Maya was the first to say and I agreed with her. She was sitting next to me on the bed, we were hugging, I closed my eyes and felt her kiss me, not on the lips, but on the temple, it was the most pleasant kiss.
