Alex had been pacing the emergency waiting room for what feels like hours, but in all likely-hood it has probably been maybe an hour. Quinn and Brittany were seated in the uncomfortable chairs, their hands closely intertwined, and matching pairs of worry on their faces. Alex’s parents had shown up about a half hour after they got Eveline to the hospital, and they were also sitting in the chairs with the same worried looks.
“Eveline Fabray?” Alex was next to the doctor in a matter of seconds.
“Yes, I’m her mate, how is she? Is she ok? What about the baby?” The doctor held a serious expression, and everyone in the room knew something bad has happened.
“Please follow me.” Brittany went to stand, but Quinn held her tighter as they watched Alex’s expression fall from worried to scared as she wordlessly followed the doctor.
He didn’t say a word until they came to a wooden door where he gave it a light knock before opening it up. Alex followed him in, and when she saw Eveline sitting up in her bed, she couldn’t help the bright smile that broke out onto her face as she rushed over to her side to engulf her in the biggest and tightest hug they had probably ever shared.
“Oh god I’m so happy you’re ok.” Alex whispered in a pale ear.
“I’m ok.”
“What…what about the baby?” Alex asked after she pulled back from the hug but kept the blonde’s hand in her own.
“I’m sorry to inform you that the baby didn’t make it.” Tears immediately sprung to both pairs of eyes, and that’s when the doctor took that as his queue to leave. As soon as the door to Eveline’s room closed, she was in Alex’s arms sobbing.

They spent over a half hour in the room just holding each other and crying, when Alex finally came around the corner into the waiting room. And as soon as Rachel spotted the tear streaks on Alex’s cheeks, she was up and crossing the waiting room to pull her into a hug.
“The baby….they’re gone…” Quinn and Brittany exchanged a look before heading down the hall that Alex had just come down.
“Alex…” When the younger Latina spotted her mom, any problems they were having disappeared when she engulfed her from the side her momma wasn’t hugging.
“I’m so sorry.”
~/~/~/~/~/~
The door opened and Eveline tried to hide her tears by wiping her cheeks but when she saw it was her moms, she didn’t have to hide, and a new wave rushed upon her.
“Momma…” Brittany made it to her first, but Quinn wasn’t far behind.
“It’ll be ok honey….it’ll be ok.” Brittany gently rocked them back and forth while Quinn ran a soothing hand up and down her daughter’s back.

Eveline wasn’t allowed to leave the hospital until another day, for observation, but when she was, Alex was there to get her, and when they pulled up to the park instead of her house, she didn’t need to ask why.
Alex held her hand as they walked down the path to the bench where they held their first kiss as a couple.
“It feels so different now.” Eveline said with a frown.
“I know…but it’ll be ok Evey. We can get through this.” Eveline shuffled closer to her, where Alex put an arm around her shoulders and rested her head atop hers. Their hands intertwined in Eveline’s lap.
“We’ll have another right Alex?” The blonde pulled back and when blue met brown, a smile danced across the soccer player’s lips.
“Of course Evey, when we get our own house, in our own town.” Eveline let a smile dance across her face before moving back to tuck her head under the wolf’s chin.
“I love you Alex.” The Latina gave the top of the blonde’s head a lingering kiss before resting hers atop hers again.
“Love you too Evey.”
