I knew why Don had done that; Maggie was unfamiliar with Rollins and she wasn't as close to John as she was to the rest of us. I sigh then, rolling my shoulders and shaking my head. "I donated a pint of blood for her," I tell the both of them softly. "I just wanted to help out, I..."
"You did the right thing, Liv," Fin assures me. "And Maggie'll pull through, you'll see. She's a fighter."
I nod at that, feeling some comfort in Fin's words. "Yeah. Right. A fighter."
MAGGIE'S POV
"Let's get some oxygen on her..."
"Copy that, doctor..."
"Oxygen in place and..."
"Oh, no..."
"We're losing her..."
"No heartbeat..."
"Let's bring her back... Clear."
I find myself soaring then, almost as if I'm connected somehow to a magnet that is threatening to haul me off the ground. Then, again.
"Clear!"
For takeoff?
"Clear!"
"Okay, we got her back..."
Back... Back down the track...
. . .
"How is she, doctor?"
"Normally, I wouldn't give out this information to you, Detective Benson, but you seem to be very close to the victim..." Shuffling of papers... "She should heal very nicely. We've reset the bones everywhere they've broken, and her nose has been repaired by a top-notch plastic surgeon... But there's one thing..."
"What?"
A sigh. "Detective Benson, tell me... Were you aware of Lieutenant Grayson's pregnancy?"
A gasp. "P-Pregnancy?"
"Yes."
A second gasp. "Maggie was pregnant...?"
"She was about four months, Detective Benson."
"Was...?"
"Yes. I'm afraid the accident caused placental abruption which, due to the stress the body underwent from the accident, caused preterm labor."
"She lost the baby?"
"I'm afraid so, Detective Benson. I'm so sorry..."
. . .
"You didn't know?"
"No. How could I? I'm her husband and I didn't know... For god's sake. What does that say about me? About our relationship?"
"Hunter..."
"No, Olivia, listen—I may be neglectful, but I would never..."
"What?"
"Cheat. I would never."
"I didn't say you would..."
"...I would never cheat on Maggie. I'm in love with her."
"I'm glad to hear that, Hunter. Really."
A sigh; coming from my husband. "Just... Just tell me one thing..."
"What do you want me to tell you?"
"Does she still love him?"
"I'm... I'm sorry, Hunter. I don't know what..."
