“Yeah, the babyshower was a surprise for her. She was so caught up in so many other things, and apparently so hungry that she didn’t notice the scents of the guests over the food.” I didn’t know if this would help him at all but he said not to leave anything out so I wasn’t.
“You mean she was actually surprised? As in shocked? Hmm.” Griffing sounded as if he was thinking about something important. “OK, I am not coming to the house, I am going to meet you at the hospital.”
I heard the sound of screeching tires as it seemed like Griffin was turning around while driving fast.
“The hospital? Is it that serious?” Mom sounded shocked.
“I won’t know until I see her, but I don’t want to take any chances. Get here as soon as you can. Call an ambulance if you have to.” I didn’t like the way all of this was sounding, but I agreed with Griffin, I wasn’t going to take any chances.
“I will drive her. By the time the ambulance gets here I could be almost there.” I spoke firmly as I lifted my Little Bunny into my arms. “I will be out of here in less than sixty seconds, that I can promise. I will see you soon.”
“Drive safe but move fast.” Griffin warned me before disconnecting the call.
There was a text that came in just after he hung up. Vincent, who was following behind me, read it out loud.
“He says to call when you’re almost there, he will have a team ready and waiting.”
“He needs to have that team ready before I get there, not when I am almost there.” I growled out as I hurried to the garage.
“Agreed.” Vincent said as he responded to the message.
When I got to the garage I noticed that Noah was also following along with us. He had made it to the door ahead of me and pushed it open. I guess he was not going to let me leave without him. That was fine, he could come with me. Actually, he could drive for me. Him or Vincent since I wanted to hold my Little Bunny in my arms while we hurried there.
Noah ran to one of the large black SUVs we used when traveling as a group. Once he was there he opened the back door for me to slide in with Riviana in my arms. This would work for us since this SUV had a large backseat that made it easier for me to hold onto my mate.
Vincent was already sliding into the driver’s seat so Noah immediately went to the passenger seat. Once he was seated, but before he had even closed his door, Vincent was moving toward the driveway.
“Do you think this has something to do with the babies?” Noah turned around in his seat to face me and started to bombard me with question after question. “Is this something that happened to her when she was fighting Edmond? Could this have happened when you went to California? Or maybe it had happened when you went to visit the Fae. Did anything happen there? What about on your honeymoon? Did anything bad happen then?”
“Noah!” I snapped at him as Vincent took the curves of the driveway way too sharply. He was good at handling the vehicle though and was in no danger of going off the road. “I do not know what is going on.” I could hear the sorrow in my own voice. “I am just as worried and clueless as you are right now.”
Together the two of us looked down at the limp woman in my arms. She seemed so small and frail. I felt like if I touched her she would fall apart. She seemed like a snowflake falling too soon and melting on impact or like spun sugar and life was a sky full of rain waiting to melt her away.
I know she wasn’t really that delicate but looking at her right now it was hard to believe that at all. She had been through so much and overcome a lot but all of this here just made it seem like she was going to break apart with a strong wind.
While I thought to myself I noticed that she was looking really pale. She was still breathing but her lips were turning to a very light shade of blue nonetheless. Not to mention it looked like she was turning gray, like she was taking on a shade of pale that was way beyond what I have ever seen before.
“Hurry up, Vincent.” I tried not to panic but I had to urge him on.

Vincent was about to pull into the hospital parking lot. He was going to head straight to the emergency doors so I could jump out with my Little Bunny in my arms. I needed to get her to Griffin right away. Noah had even called him to make sure he was waiting for us.
The first thing I saw when we pulled up was Griffin standing next to a gurney. I had thought that he was alone but then I noticed that there was a group of people behind him. There were probably five of them, at least. Well, half a dozen might be enough to help my wife. If not, they can just get more.
Vincent hadn’t even fully stopped the car when Griffin was already yanking the door to the backseat open. I could see the worry in his eyes even if he was trying to hold a poker face.
“Has there been any changes?” He asked me as he reached in to grab Riviana’s wrist. He must have been checking her pulse.
“She hasn’t moved or made a sound, but her lips are turning blue and she looks gray and ashen. She’s breathing though, I can tell that she is.”
“She’s breathing but she’s not getting enough oxygen. This can be caused by a few different things. Hopefully we can get her enough oxygen without needing to intubate her.” I didn’t like the sound of that.
I was already sliding out of the vehicle with Riviana while he spoke. The moment that I was free of the SUV the other doctors and nurses seemed to swarm me. They had taken Riviana from my arms and were getting her on the gurney before I even had a chance to recognize any of their supernatural scents. None of them were human, but I hadn’t been able to tell what they were yet.
Griffin was the man that was in charge. That had been clear to see but the others seemed to be good at their jobs as they started to work in tandem.
“Get her inside and up to the maternity ward. I want her in room three oh seven.” Griffin was giving out orders while they hurried inside.
I knew where they were going now. If I lost them along the way, which I hoped I wouldn’t, I would be able to find them again easily.
I was already walking inside the hospital, following the flurry of excitement that was happening with my mate. Noah was next to me and Vincent, who had sped off to park the SUV once I was out, was running to catch up to us.
By the time that we made it to the elevators, right on the heels of the gurney that my Little Bunny was on, the doors slid shut. I couldn’t see my wife anymore. I couldn’t see what they were doing. I needed to see what was going on.
“Let’s not wait for the next elevator.” Noah suggested.
“Yeah, we can move faster than the elevator anyway.”
The three of us rushed to the door to the stairs. There was no one else in the stairwell with us so we were able to run all out. We didn’t have to hold back to keep anyone from noticing that we weren’t quite human.
