The Saregeant's Daughter - Chapter 26 Madeline
"Jay, you're the best the thing that has happened to me"
Chicago Med S4 EP 19: Never Let You Go
"Good morning," I said looking over some files on the computer.
"Morning," Will said smiling at me, "I saw you went to that concert you were talking about. How was it?"
"It was amazing! I screamed my heart out, and I lost my voice but it was totally worth it" I said smiling thinking about the concert.
"Did Jay go?" He asked.
"No, he was working a case and it's been keeping him busy the last couple of weeks but tonight we are having a date," I said.
"Well, glad you had a good time"
"Thanks," I said as he walked away.
"Dr. Sanchez," Dr. Lanik said walking towards me.
"Yeah," I said.
"Treatment 4," he said handing me the iPad, "16-year-old female, 38 weeks pregnant. Rear-ended while she was driving. Now I cleared her C-spine and she has labs brewing, but I figured you could check her cervix before calling the OB"
"Sure," I said walking towards the room.
"Lily? Hi, I'm Dr.Sanchez." I said standing in front of the bed, "I understand you're 38 weeks. Are you family?"
"I'm her father, yes. Joseph Cooper. And this is Edie Thompson" he said.
"I'm not family exactly," she said with a smile.
"Uh, she's adopting my baby," Lily said.
"Great. All right, well, let's take a look" I said placing the iPad down and grabbing the gel and placing it on her belly.
"Thanks," I said as Monique handed me the wand I turned to look at the screen, "Baby looks healthy and the placenta looks good. All right, Lily, I'm going to ask your dad and Edie to step out of the room while I check your cervix" I said smiling at her.
"Okay"
"We'll be right outside, honey," he said and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you. All right, now you let me know if anything's uncomfortable or if you feel any pain, okay?" I said putting on some gloves, "All right, if you could just put your knees up and then let them fall open. Thank you. All right you ready"
I insert the vaginal speculum in and she let out a huge gasp, "You okay?" I asked her.
I looked up and started at Monique, "Everything okay?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, everything's fine. Um, I'm feeling that you're two centimeters dilated and seeing that you started contractions. " I said removing my gloves.
"What does that mean?"
"Oh, I think the car accident caused you to start labor," I said.
"You've got to stop it. I don't want to see the baby" she said, "That's why I scheduled a c-section"
"I'm sorry, Lily, but it doesn't work that way. Um, you can't stop labor once the baby is full-term. " I said.
"I just want to be put to sleep and wake up with it gone, okay?" Lily said looking at the both of us.
"I will call Labor and Delivery and see what we can do, okay?"
-
"Hey, so good news," I said walking into Lily's room again, "Dr. Patchefsky called and she can schedule you for a c-section today if you still wanna do that"
"So that means the baby's coming today?" Edie said.
"Mh-hmm"
'Oh, that's--that's incredible. I-I have to text Howard"
"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie? I know this is a lot" Mr.Cooper asked Lily.
"I'm ready to get it over with, Dad"
"All right, well, we'll send you upstairs as soon as a bed becomes available, okay?" I said getting ready to leave the room.
"And where's Lily at? Lily Cooper?" a voice said.
"David, what are you doing here?" Lily said.
"Hi, Jessie told me. Are you all right?" David said.
"You need to leave," Mr.Cooper said.
"It's okay, Dad. I'm fine, but they said the baby's coming out today"
"It--it's happening now?" he said.
"You better go, David" Lily said.
"That's right!"
David walked into the room, "I'm ready to take care of you and our baby"
"You're telling me this now?" she whispered.
"Yeah, you never answer my calls," he said, "All right, I get that you're mad. When you told me, I'd just lost my job and my mom was sick and I freaked out. But I got a good job now, all right? They're paying me 12 an hour at the tire and rim--"
"It's too late, David!" she said her voice cracking.
"No, listen, listen, they're giving me full-time hours," he said pleading with her.
"That's enough! You need to leave" Mr.Cooper said pushing him out of the room.
"No, no. This isn't about me"
"Maybe I should wait in the lobby?" Edie said.
'No, no. He's the one who's leaving"
"Okay, everyone calm down," I said but they didn't listen, "Hey, Maggie, call security?" I yelled at Maggie.
"Dad, stop! Please!"
"Don't touch me" David said.
"All right, I'm going to need you to wait in the lobby, okay," I said looking at David.
"But that--that--that-that--that's my baby!" he shouted pointing at Lily.
"Not anymore!"
"Security," Maggie said.
"Well, what does that mean?" he said looking at us, "What does that--what does that mean? Lily?"
"I'm giving the baby up"
"Did he talk you into this?" David said.
"Hey, Hey!" I said.
"Hey, that's my kid!" he said trying to push back against Mr.Cooper, "You can't take--no, no! You can't take my kid"
Security grabbed him, "Let go!, Hey, hey!"
"Let's go, son"
"I'm the father! I have a say!" He yelled, "Hey! Let go! Hey, no! You can't take me from my kid!"
He continued to scream and fight as the security escorted him out of the hospital.
-
"And the baby looks good, so we're gonna take you up and get you prepped for the c-section," I said, "Are you ready?"
"I guess," Lily said.
"It's going to be fine"
I smiled and turned to look at Maggie, "Hey Maggie, will you page OB and tell them we're on our way up?" I said.
"Copy that," she said.
"Thanks," I said and turned to look at the bed.
"David" Lily said causing me to turn around and see David standing in the doorway of the room.
"Don't worry, I'm gonna take care of everything" he said reaching for his back pocket and pulling out a gun.
"What are you doing?" Lily said standing up but I quickly blocked her with my arm.
"Whoa. David, put that down" Mr.Cooper said.
"You think I'm gonna let you come in here and steal my kid?" he said.
"Dad, Dad, Dad, no. Dad, stop!" Lily yelled as Mr.Cooper rushed and pushed David out of the room.
They started to fight for the gun in the room.
Security, code silver! Active threat in the ED!
A gunshot was heard and Mr.Cooper fell onto the ground. Lily started shouting for her dad. I rushed towards Mr.Cooper not caring that I could get shot myself.
"David no!" I yelled at him.
Drop your weapon!
He fired his gun again at Earl, and he fell onto the ground, and the glass shattered. Nurses, doctors, and patients started to scream and run out of the ED into the waiting room. I covered the gunshot wound as I saw Will come out of the waiting room and make eye contact with me.
Edie rushed out of the room but David grabbed her and used her as a hostage.
"Stop! Stop!" David yelled pointing his gun at the officer.
"No, drop it! Drop it! Now!" The officer shouted.
"Frank, listen to the man. Listen to him" Earl said grunting with pain.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm a doctor!" Ethan shouted, "Let me just take a look," he said moving towards Earl.
David grabbed the Earl gun that had fallen onto the ground when he shot at him. Will walked towards me.
"Hey! I said stop moving" David shouted at him.
"Dad, Dad, are you okay? Please help my dad!" Lily shouted.
"I'm a doctor. I can help" Will said.
"Get in this room," he said pointing at a room
"Okay, okay," Will said pointing at the room.
Conner peaked out of the room and took small steps towards me holding a pair of gloves in his hand, "We need to help this man" he said pointing at Mr.Cooper.
"Dad! Daddy! Dad" Lily cried out.
"It wasn't my fault," David said.
"But you don't want him to die, do you?" Connor said.
David shook his head, "No. Help him, help him"
"Okay," Connor said and dropped to his knees putting on the gloves.
I got up slowly and rushed towards Lily as David continued to yell for orders. I brought Lily into my arms.
"Lily, I need you to take deep breaths okay" I said running my hands down her back.
she nodded her head and tried to take deep breaths, Maggie and Ethan rushed to help Connor with Mr.Cooper.
"Listen, I just want to get my girlfriend and my baby out of here. I don't want to hurt anybody else, but I will if you get in my way" David shouted, "Hey, you back where you were" he said.
He had his back turned from me, I took a deep breath and made the dumbest decision known to mankind. Me and Ethan made eye contact as David and Conner were talking among each other. He sent me a small nod, I rushed towards him and knocked him onto the ground he dropped both guns and I got on top of him trying to pin his arms down to the ground like I was taught in the academy but he was able to react quickly and brought his arms up and grabbed my neck tightly and flipped us around.
"You stupid doctor!" he shouted at me and leaned over me to grab the gun and point it at me.
"Let her go!" Will shouted.
"Shut up!" he yelled pointing his gun at him.
I clawed to get his hands off my neck but he was stronger than me, "Use her a shield, her uncle is a sergeant! he won't let nobody shoot at you if you're holding her" Ethan said.
He looked down at me and I nodded my head at him, "He-he-he's right" I said in between gasps.
He got up picked me up and flipped me around so my back was against his chest.
"He won't make it, let me bring him upstairs," Connor said.
"No, he stays here"
"He might not make it if you don't let him go upstairs"
"You're a doctor. Do something!" He shouted at Connor.
"He doesn't have the supplies he needs," I said.
"I need blood, plasma, and platelets. Now! Otherwise, he dies" Connor said.
"Okay, what do I--what do I do?" he said stumbling over his words.
"Pick up any one of those phones dial 911 and tell them who you are. They'll find someone for you to ask. Now!" Maggie shouted at him.
"Okay, grab a phone and call him," He said pushing me towards the phones.
I nodded my head picked up the phone and started dialing 911, I felt David push the gun up against the back of my head.
911, what's your emergency
"I'm Dr.Sanchez calling from Chicago Med," I said into the phone, "I need blood, plasma, and platelets now"
"Tell them to send Goodwin in with the supplies!" David shouted at me.
"Can you please send Goodwin in with the supplies"
He ripped the phone away from my hand, "I know what she looks like if you don't send her in I won't hesitate to put a bullet in the doctor's head" he said and hung up the phone.
"Lily might be fully dilated. She needs to deliver the baby" I said turning to look at Lily who stared at us.
"You!" he pointed at Will, "Go help my girlfriend to deliver the baby"
"No, I don't want to push it out!" she shouted as Will walked into the room.
"I know this isn't how you wanted it to happen but we cannot wait any longer," I said to her, "Will, please"
"Can't you just do the C-section?"
"It's not safe to do it here," Will said putting on gloves.
"I'm sorry, Lily, but I need you to deliver this baby," I said, "David let the doctor get a precip pack from that blue box in the pyxis. It's for the delivery"
"You heard her. Grab them now!"
Lily was moaning out in pain, "Just breathe Lily, breathe in and out Lily" I said as David walked us towards the door of her room.
"It's going to be okay, Lily. I promise. It's going to be okay" he mumbled.
"You shot my dad" she cried out in pain.
"Let me help them," I said, "You can stand next to me for protection"
"It was an accident. I swear--I swear it was. But there's a doctor looking at him--there's a doctor looking at him right now, all right? And it--it's going to be okay. I promise you. He's going to be okay"
"Dr.Halstead is going to need another set of hands to deliver your child. Can I help him" I asked him once more.
He nodded his head and let me go and I rushed over to her, "You got this, Lily. Keep breathing" I said as Will handed me the box.
"I just couldn't let him take our baby like that, Lily," he said looking at Lily, "I could--I couldn't do it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry"
I moved towards the front of the bed, "You doing great Lily. You're doing great. Just keep looking at me and breathing in and out, like you have been doing since the beginning. Breathe with me Lily" I said.
"We can raise this kid together. I know we can. And I know that's what you want too"
she shook her head, "No. I just want my life to go back to normal. I wanna finish high school. I wanna go to college" she said.
"No, no, no, no. That's your dad talking, all right?" he said closing his eyes and opening them up, "And I'm gonna fix everything as soon as we get out of here"
David's attention went away from us when he heard glasses and he walked away from us.
"Lily, honey--"
"Next person to move, I will not hesitate to shoot anyone!" he shouted.
-
Goodwin had come in with the supplies I had asked for then shouting was heard when they were moving Mr.Cooper from the ER.
"Mads, fetal heart tones just flipped to the other side," Will said as we lowered the bed.
"I just felt something shift," she said looking between us, "Does that mean the baby's coming out?"
"Let me see," I said placing my hands on her belly, "The baby just went transverse," I said looking at Will.
"Wait, what does that mean?" David asked as he stood at the entrance with Goodwin.
"The baby's turned sideways in her uterus. She can't deliver like that" Will said answering his question.
"So what happens now?"
"We need to move her upstairs" I shouted.
"No, you do it here," he said.
"Fine, I need you to get me something out of the Pyxis," I said pointing over at the room, "A medication, Terbutaline"
"I will get it," Goodwin said and walked away with David following her.
"Just look at me. Look at me. Breathe" Will said, "Good. Are you gonna turn the baby?" he whispered.
"Water hasn't broken yet. And the Terbutaline should soften her uterus" I said.
"She's in labor. We could cause a placental abruption or a prolapse" he mutters.
"Well, he's not giving me any other choice" I whisper shouted.
Lily shouted before she went cold. The Machines started beeping.
"She's hypotensive," Will said.
"What's that?"
"Her blood pressure is dropping," Goodwin said.
"She must be bleeding from somewhere," I said.
"We are losing the baby," Will said looking at David.
"Fix it!"
"We need to do a C-section or you're going to lose them both!" I shouted at him.
"Well, if either of them dies, I'm gonna kill you" he shouted pointing his gun at me.
"Hey!" Will yelled at him pointing his finger at him.
"Fix it! Now!"
David grabbed me by the shoulder roughly and walked over to Conner where he and Maggie were with his Dad.
"Dr.Rhodes?" Maggie said as she saw me standing in front of them with a gun pointed at me.
"Lily needs your help," David said.
"I'm not leaving my father," he said.
"Connor, I think her uterus ruptured," I said taking a deep breath, "She needs immediate surgery before she and the baby bleed to death"
"I will do the surgery. If you agree to transfer my father upstairs" Connor said.
"No, you fix him here," he said shaking his head.
"I can't. He needs an operating room with a bypass machine!" he shouted.
"Operate on Lily or I will kill you right here," he said and pointed his gun at Conner.
"God damnit David!" I shouted, "Let Dr. Rhodes's father move upstairs now! So he can save them all you're just losing fucking time. Pointing your gun around the whole room"
Connor chuckled, "You want to kill the only person who can save her?" he said.
"I will transfer his father. And I give you my word, I will not let SWAT in" Goodwin said, "Please, David, Lily, and the baby are losing valuable time like Dr.Sanchez had said.
"Okay," he mumbled.
Connor walked out of the room and I followed behind him, "Bring whatever blood we have to the Hybrid OR. Prep her belly, and scrub in. I'm gonna need your help, all of you"
"Yes"
-
"Sats are good. Ketamine's in" Will said.
"Everybody ready?" Connor asked looking at all of us.
"Mm-hmm" I mumbled.
"Okay," he said and cut down the middle of Lily's belly.
Blood started squirting out quickly out of her belly, "Her uterus ruptured" Connor said.
"The baby's floating in the abdomen. Need suction" I said as I grabbed one side of the belly.
"I'm in there," Maggie said putting the tube in.
Connor's hands went deep into the belly and he pulled the baby out of the belly which was covered in blood.
"Mom's pressure is crashing. O neg's running in" Will said.
"All right, we're losing her," Connor said, "Keep suction going. More laps"
I grabbed a blanket for the baby wrapped him up and cleaned off the blood
"His color's coming back, He's stable for now," I said.
"Guys, I need a little help over here," Connor said, "She's lost a lot of blood. What-What do we got left?"
"I'm hanging my last two of FFP. She's not stable" Will said.
"All right, keep suctioning," Connor said.
"Yeah"
"I can't see a thing," Connor said then more blood squirted out hitting both me and Connor in the face.
"The rupture extended into the uterine artery," I said.
"Keep suction going"
"She's bottoming out, Connor," Will said.
"All right, hold on, hold on. I think I got it" Connor said, "Give me an 0 prolene on a needle"
"Pressure's rising"
"Bleeding's under control. All right, Let's finish this and then we'll close the uterus" he said breathing heavily.
-
"My baby" Lily mumbled.
"Healthy little boy," I said sending her a smile.
The door opens and David walks in with Goodwin, "Hey, Lily, we're gonna go right now, all right?"
"That's not happening," Connor said.
"She can barely move in her condition," Will said.
"Stop talking. We gotta go. Lily, we gotta go right now. All right?"
"David, no," she said.
"No listen, all we have to do is get to the neighborhood, all right?" he said, "Because I know people who'll help us get out. I promise it's gonna be okay. All right?"
"No," she said, "It's over, David. It's over"
Good walked towards the baby's bed slowly and picked him up into her arms
"If you change your mind when you do, call my mom. She'll tell you to get in contact with me and the baby" he said and turned to look at the empty bed.
"David--"
"What are you doing?" he asked Goodwin, "Give me my son"
"I can't do that, David"
David turned towards us and pointed his gun at us, "Get back. Get back" he said, "Everyone back against the wall now" and turned back to look at Ms.Good still with his gun pointed at us, "Miss Goodwin, hand him over"
"I said I'd help you, David, and I meant that," she said taking steps back and shaking her head, "But I'm not giving you this baby"
"I'm not leaving here without my son"
"Sharon?" Maggie called out for her.
"You don't have a choice"
"No, you don't have a choice. I will kill everyone in this hospital before I leave my son!" he shouted and shot his gun at the ground.
We all jumped a bit, Will pulled me behind him quickly so now both me and Maggie were behind the guys.
"Then you're gonna have to start with me"
"Give me my son!"
A gunshot was heard and David's body fell to the ground with a loud thump, and the SWAT team rushed in. Both me and Connor rushed over to David's body. He was shot in the neck blood came out of his mouth as he held the side of his neck with both sides before he finally let go.
"He's gone," I said as me and Connor looked at each other.
"Madeline, Madeline" a voice yelled.
I looked up and saw Jay standing in front of me, "Jay--Jay" I mumbled getting up from the floor.
"I was so worried about you," he said grabbing my head with both his hands, "You're covered in blood are you hurt" he mumbled checking for wounds.
I shook my head, "No, estoy bein amor" I said smiling at him.
"Thank god," he said kissing my lips.
-
I walked into Mr. Cooper's room with a smile on my face, "Hello, Dr.Sanchez"
"Hi, I'm glad to see you're feeling better. Just wanted to come in and check and see if you needed anything"
"Hi, Lily Cooper?" a nurse said stopping in front of the room, "Dr.Lang cleared the baby. I'm having a hard time finding the adoptive mom, though. Edie Thompson, right?"
"I saw her leave the hospital. I don't think she'll be coming back" I said.
"I'll call the agency tomorrow," Mr.Cooper said, "Have them find another couple. I'm sure it won't be a problem. Can you take him back to the nursery until we get this straightened out?"
I looked at Lily as she kept staring at the bed that held her baby, "Hang on a second. Lily, is there something you want to say?" I asked her.
"Would it be okay if I hold him?" she asked.
"Honey--"
"Just for a little bit"
I smiled at her, "Of course" I walked towards the baby picked it up into my arms carefully, and headed towards Lily, "Here you go honey"
"Sweetie" Mr.Cooper said.
"Dad?" she said with tears in her eyes.
"Lily"
"But he's mine, dad" she whispered looking at her son with a smile.
"What?"
-
After getting out of the shower I sat at my vanity and started to do my makeup. After finishing my makeup, I grabbed the blue dress I had laid on the bed and put it on, sitting on the seat I grabbed the black heels I left by the table and put them on, I grabbed my Chanel chain wallet purse making sure I had put everything in it and left the room.
My heels clicked against the wooden floor, "Hey you ready?" Jay asked looking at his watch.
"Yes" I said smiling at him.
"Woah" he muttered as he looked me up and down, "You look so sexy, why don't we stay home instead and" he warped his arms around my waist and kissed me.
"Jay! You promised me a nice dinner, after dinner you can have your way with me all night" I whisper in his ear.
"Fine. Let's go now so we can back home earlier"
-
We finished dinner and it was amazing and now we were just eating dessert.
"Babe, I wanna give you something" Jay said pulling something from his pocket.
"What is it?" I asked putting the fork down.
He pulled out a small red velvet box, a gasp left my lips and I covered my mouth.
"Jay" I whispered.
He smiled at me, "I'm giving you this promise ring because I promise to you forever and soon replace it with an engagement ring"
"Jay, you're the best the thing that has happened to me" I said crying.
He grabbed my hand and slid it onto my right finger, it was beautiful.
