Chapter 10

When I arrive at the hospital a creepy feeling of déjà vu sends a chill up my spine.

Should we go in the emergency room?

I don’t know. Is this an emergency?

Just five nights ago I was here with Jace. We were two people, expecting to leave home with a third. Now Jett and I are those two people. And if we don’t go home with Jace I don’t know what I’ll do.

I park in the ER parking lot. Jett sleeps peacefully as I take his car seat out of the base. I drape a blanket over the entire thing and tuck in into the sides. Emergency rooms are full of sick people and I don’t want Jett to get those germs. I’m pretty sure that a baby blanket isn’t exactly known for being germ proof but it’s all I have.

The entire emergency room is empty when I walk in. I glance around at the rows and rows of chairs and find them all empty. A television on the wall blares some news station and a set of kid’s toys lies forgotten in the corner. I guess it’s not a popular night for emergencies.

The woman at the triage counter barely glances up at me when I walk up to her. Then she notices the car seat I’m carrying and her brows draw together. She reaches for a clipboard of paperwork but I shake my head and open my mouth and try to speak even though it’s so dry I fear no words will come out.

“I think my husband is here,” I manage to say.

“Name?”

“Jace Adams.”

There’s no immediate reaction on her face. I had worried that she’d hear Jace’s name and her eyes would light up and she’d say something like ‘oh, you’re here for the morgue, then’ and then I’d be so devastated that I’d drop dead right here on the emergency room floor.

But she doesn’t say anything for a moment. She looks at the computer screen in front of her. “Do you know what floor he’s on?”

“I’m not even sure he’s here.” Again, it’s a miracle that words are coming out of my mouth. And if they make sense, then it’ll be a double miracle. Because the only thing going through my head right now is the constant chant of please be alive please be alive please be alive.

“I don’t see anyone by that name,” she says slowly as she clicks through the computer. “Would it be under another name? When did they call you?”

“No one has called me. I—he got in a wreck, I’m just guessing he might be here, I don’t—I don’t know.” All of the air has been let out of me.

Another nurse in Hello Kitty scrubs with a stethoscope around her neck comes up and nudges the woman. She murmurs something and then widens her eyes as if she’s trying to communicate telepathically to the woman.

“Oh.” That’s all the woman says. Then she turns to me. “Okay so your husband was in a wreck and you’re wondering if he’s here? No one has called you yet?”

I shake my head.
