423 News From The Hospital

Ookashi ran to Dmitri. Her skin was flushed, legs were shaking and eyes full of tears. 

"H- how- is he?" She gulped. "S- survive?" She grabbed Dmitri's collar and stared in his eyes, "Nate—survive?" Her sentences were choppy and she was speaking too quickly. 

"He is in the intensive care unit. They have put an oxygen mask on him." Dmitri saw her panic-stricken, sweaty face. He felt extremely sad. Her pink dress clung to her body and the bulge showed. 

She darted a gaze in an attempt to see and absorb everything around her. Slowly she left Dmitri's collar and stood in front of him with slumped shoulders. A sob ripped through her. Dmitri embraced her tightly. Fleur came over and stood next to her and she hugged Ookashi. Dmitri enveloped the two girls in his arms. They were too young to be left without mates.
