The automatic doors of the hospital opened, but not fast enough. Right now, nothing was fast enough for Ryan, the cars that were in front of him on the way to hospital, the stop lights, almost everything, except for his heart and his brain. His heart was beating faster than it ever has before and his brain was packed with racing thoughts, both negative and positive.

He saw the lady at the reception desk open her mouth, but Ryan beat her. "Natalia Boa Vista. Where is she?" At least that's what he said in his mind.

"Sir, you are going to need to slow down. I can't understand you."

"Natalia Boa Vista. I'm looking for her."

The lady quickly glanced at her computer for what seemed to be a reference. "I'm sorry, sir, but Natalia is in surgery."

"Surgery?"

She nodded.

There was at least one good thing that came out of that news. She was still alive.

"The doctor is over there if you would like to talk to him," she pointed a finger towards one of the long corridors to a man who was talking to a nurse.

"Thanks," he said as he left.

Beeping rang throughout the whole hospital and TV's were playing from various rooms. It reminded him of everything a real hospital is like. It freaked Ryan out.

"Um...excuse me doctor," Ryan said after the doctor finished talking to the nurse. "I'm looking for Natalia Boa Vista. The receptionist told me she was in surgery?"

The doctor pushed his black glasses back up to the top of his nose. "She is."

"Can you tell me what's going on...I'm her boyfriend."

"Oh," the doctor's expression changed immediately when Ryan said those words. "Yes...well, we had to do an emergency c-section."

"So, my baby is alright?" Ryan said, his voice more excited.

"Well, your baby is alive, but unfortunately we don't know if the crash affected it yet."

"What about Natalia?"

"Still in a coma."

"For how long?"

"I can't answer that, I'm sorry."

Ryan sank back down into the mood he was in before.

"You can have a seat in the waiting room until we get Natalia into her own room, if you would like."

"Thanks...but um, I think I'll come back," Ryan replied as he shoved his hands into his pockets and walked away. He had other plans in mind, ones that involved the bar that was just across the street from the hospital.

Sorry for the short chapter..it was kind of a filler. I will have next chapters up asap, though! :) xx
