AUBREY WATCHED AS DOCTOR'S TOOK HER BEST FRIEND AWAY ON A STRECHER. the brunette was scared that her friend would lose her life and that she would lose her cassie.
"aubrey!" nate yelled as he rushed up to the girl. "nate!" she put a hand to her head, "what happened?" he asked in fear. "i don't know, she was in so much pain and then just fainted, i don't know what happened" aubrey panted.
"oh my god, i mean we were having problems with the baby and stuff maybe thats what happened" nate stammered as aubrey furrowed her brows. "i'll tell you later, i see the doctor i'll be back" nate told her as she nodded.
the brunette waited as she watched nate get told the news, she assumed it wasn't good since she looked at him, and he looked like he would fall apart any second.
"what did they say?" aubrey asked, tears prickling in her hazel eyes. "its not good, she has to go into surgery and she could um bleed out" he stammered as the collins wiped her eyes. "oh god" she mumbled. "i'm gonna go see her through the gallery, wanna come?" he asked and she shook her head. "i'll wait here since ryan and blair are on there way" she responded as he nodded then walked off.
aubrey waited in front of the hospital as she watched ryan and blair run up to her. "aubrey!" blair called out as she shut the car door with ryan following. "whats going on? what happened?!" ryan asked in fear but he tried not to show it but aubrey could always see through him.
"she's in surgery and could possibly bleed out, nate is watching from the gallery" aubrey stated, as blair looked down in fear. "oh god, i'm gonna go see him, wanna come?" he asked the brunette, who shook her head.
as ryan headed inside. blair ended up sinking to the ground and aubrey sat down next to her. "you okay?" she asked. "i'm scared aubrey" blair laid her head on the brunette's shoulder. "me too blair, but she's gonna be okay" aubrey blinked her tears away and laid her head on blair's head.
ryan walked into the gallery where nate was watching a bunch of doctor's operate on his twin sister. "hey" he said and the archibald looked at him. "hey" he replied quietly. "i got you a coffee" he handed the coffee to his best friend. "thanks" he responded.
"she's gonna be okay" ryan said as nate kept his eyes focused on the blonde that was laying on the table. "how do you know?" nate asked. "its cassie, she would never leave you" ryan stated, and his best friend finally turned to look at him for the first time since they've been here. "i guess so" he responded, with a small smile but they were interrupted when cassie's heart monitor started to slow down and she started to flatline.
"oh my god" ryan's eyes widened as nate put his hand over his mouth. "no! no! no!" the archibald yelled with tears in his eyes as the doctors were charging their paddles.
one of the doctors locked eye contact with nate for a second and closed the blinds and the two left the room, as nate paced around in the hallway.
"i can't believe serena leaked your diary to gossip girl " aubrey said, clearly shocked. "me too" blair replied. "but it can't be that bad" aubrey turned to her friend who shot her a look. "oh aubs, its that bad, i wrote all about how much i love chuck in there! and i'm with dan!" blair complained, as she checked her phone, and gasped.
"did gossip girl post something?" aubrey asked and blair shook her head. "no ryan texted, cassie coded, come on! they have news!" blair said and the girls instantly ran inside.
the brunette girls ran towards ryan who was waiting for them. "ryan? she coded?! what happened? is cassie okay?!" aubrey asked repeatedly. "she did code but they got her stable and she's fine. also the baby's here" ryan smiled softly as the girls gasped. "has nate seen her yet?" blair asked. "he doesn't want to, i tried asking" ryan replied and the waldorf started to walk away. "i got this" she winked leaving the two alone.
blair walked up to nate who was leaned against the wall, and he looked exhausted. "hey" she smiled. "hi" he tried to give a weak smile but it didn't work. "why don't we go see your daughter?" blair asked and he shook his head. "i want to see cassie" he stated. "she's almost done surgery and she would want you to see your daughter, so come on let's go" she pulled nate's up and they walked away.
aubrey and ryan just stood in the hospital hallway in silence. "is asher still with your mom?" ryan asked, and aubrey nodded, i should call her to let her know we'll be home soon" she pulled out her phone and called her mom.
"hey bells, how's everything going?" isabelle calloway, previously collins asked from the other line. "hi mom, its going okay, she's stable and the baby's here, we will probably pick up asher in like an hour, is that fine? i'm sorry i'm keeping you up" aubrey apologized.
"please honey, two am is my me time, its been like this since you were a baby. now i'm going to go because i've got some work to finish. just come in the morning have the night to yourselves" she winked as her daughter gave a soft smile. "okay thank you mom, i love you" aubrey smiled, "love you more babe, and follow your heart always" isabelle said before ending the call.
"my mom said to just pick asher up in the morning" aubrey placed a hand on her hip. "alright then" ryan said as aubrey turned to him and they stayed silence.
"so about what i said at the wedding" ryan brought the topic up and aubrey shut her eyes. "what did you say again? " aubrey coldly asked, trying to forget that.
"i'll say it again then. aubrey bellamy collins, i love you. i am in love with you. i want you and i want to spend the rest of my life with you" ryan told the girl. "how are you so sure you want me?" aubrey asked. "what do you mean?" ryan asked, "your always picking someone else, first it was blair then serena, then juliet, then lola, how do you know you want me?" aubrey ranted. "because aubs, no one knows me better than you do. no one loves and cares for our son like you do, i've never loved anyone like i love you. when you left me it broke me, more than anything" ryan cupped the brunette's cheeks as she smiled. "here wait, give me your hand" ryan said as aubrey put her hand on top of his. "the other day i accidently took one of asher's toy rings so this is now a promise ring, as soon as this is all over, we are going to go and get married" ryan said as he slipped the ring onto the girl's finger. "or this could be an engagement ring if you asked me to marry you right now?" aubrey joked. "okay fine, aubrey bellamy collins, will you marry me?" ryan asked as aubrey laughed. "yes, a million times yes!" she said as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
