Chapter 16: Now I Have to Rise Above

Angela's POV:

Katy's upset. She's in there crying her eyes out. I don't know where John went. He was so pissed when he left. I hope he comes back before the baby comes.

Katy: *crying* "Has he called?"

Angela: "No."

*Katy is in tears.*

Katy: "I thought he forgave me for the mistake. I really did."

Angela: "It's okay, honey. I'm gonna get him back here."

Katy: "How? He's not answering his phone."

Angela: "Well, I'll just send Shannon to look for him. Don't worry."

Katy: "Please. If he misses the birth of his baby, he'll regret it forever."

Angela: "Shannon! Get in here!"

Shannon: "What's going on?"

Angela: "John just left. You gotta go look for him."

Shannon: "He left?!? Well, why?"

Angela: "I'll explain later. Just please go find him."

Shannon: "Okay okay!"

Katy: "Thanks."

*Shannon gets into her car, and sets off to find John. She tries to call him. She keeps getting his voice mail.*

Shannon: "Fuck!"

*Her phone rings. It's Angela. She answers it.*

Shannon: "I haven't found him yet."

Angela: "Shannon, something went wrong with the baby. The doctors say that he's in a dangerous position. They need to do an emergency C-section."

Shannon: "Is Katy ok?"

Angela: "Her blood pressure is extremely high. She could go into shock any minute."

Shannon: "Oh god... Where the hell is John?"

Angela: "Please find him."

*Back at the hospital, Keith and Mary arrive. Angela meets them in the waiting room.*

Angela: "Mom! Dad!"

Keith: "Where's Katy?"

Angela: "She's in no condition to be seen right now. Her blood pressure is extremely high and they need to do a c-section."

Doctor: "SHE'S GOING INTO SHOCK! I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE IN HERE NOW!"

Angela's POV:

Katy's life is on the line. Not to mention the baby's. John's gone to God knows where. This couldn't get any worse.
