Eventually all of the forms were signed and everyone that need to be called was called. The doctor finally walked up to us

Do - are you here for Alex Guzman?

Y - yes ma'am

We stood up

Do - I'm Dr. Lewis and im part of the trauma team...right now Alex is in critical condition...the bullet missed his heart, but it transacted some major pulmonary vessels...there's a lot of bleeding in his chest so were still trying to stabilize him

Y - but umm *tears up* will he be alright

Do - honestly we don't know yet

Sam asked a few more questions but I zoned out thinking about all of the things that could happen. I saw my phpne light I and it was a facetime call from Jazzlyn. I figured Gala probably told her but I wasn't ready to explain everything so I declined it. We all sat down and I cried while Sam held me

*2 hours later*

I saw the same doctor come back

Do - good news we got Alex stabilized then into imaging and the ct scans show that he had an aortic dissection which we can manage medically

I let out a sigh of relief

S - that's good

Do - but the problem is the bullet passed through his chest cavity and landed near his spine...right now there is considerable swelling

Al - what does that mean

Do - well there are 2 options neither is perfect...we can take a wait and see approach treat him with steroids see if it works, but if it doesn't he risks loss of function possibly from the waist down

I started hyperventilating again and I couldn't stop myself. Sam held me

Do - or we can try and operate to clear the bone fragments and relieve the pressure on his spinal cord...this offers slightly better odds on the paralysis front but he's in critical condition and surgery comes with real risk

S - then no were not doing it

Do - you can take some time to discuss it

S - I'm sure

Do - *looks at you* your his wife so technically it's your decision

Sam and Ale looked at me

Y - i-i'd like a few minutes to think about it

Do - *nods and leaves*

Sam looked at me

S - you want to risk his life after all of this

Y - I-I don't know I thought we should talk about it

S - I'll call his mom I'm pretty sure she would agree with me

Sam grabbed her stuff then left. I started crying so I sat down and Ale sat with me

Al - what do you think

Y - *cries* I think that this wasn't supposed to happen we talked about who would take out the trash and when we'll have our next baby but not about a bullet being in his spine...I dont know what the right answer is

Al - thats because there's isn't one just think about what would Alex do you are gonna be his wife you know him the most so just think about Alex

Y - *nods*

I hugged Ale and thought about my options. Later Sam finally came back so I stood up

Y - Sam I want to do the surgery it would be better

S - yeah that's what his mom said too...I'm just so scared

Sam started crying so we hugged then sat down. Later the doctor came back and we told her the decision

Do - great now would you like some time with him but just you

Y - *cries* yes of course I do

Do - alright I'll send a nurse back for you

Y - *nods*

I waited again for a nurse to finally come for me. We walked to a room

Nu - you just have a few minutes while the O.R. is being prepared

Y - ok thank you

The nurse left so I walked in. As soon as I saw Alex laying on the best passed out I couldn't hold anything in anymore. It felt so unreal until I actually saw him helpless laying there. I walked up to him and held his hand

Y - *cries* Alex I'm not saying bye to you because this is not our end this is only the beginning ok

I kissed his hand

Y - we are gonna live a long happy life with Jazzlyn and 2 other kids because you convinced me to have more and we'll be married with another dog so that Zelda can have a boyfriend *smiles* we will live in a nice house still in LA with all of our friends there even my brothers, then oncw were older our kids will come over every saturday to hang out and have family fun time with there kids which will be our grandkids and we will livw our best life, but I need you to make it through this one obstacle so that we can enjoy our life ok baby? I love you so much Alex and there's no reason for you to be scared because I'm here with you then when we get home we will cuddle with Jazz and just relax while you heal and I will be there with you every step of the way I promise baby ok

I kissed his hand

Y - I love you so much Alexander and I can't wait till I get to be y/n y/m/n guzman

I kissed his hand a few more times until the jurse said I had to go. I didn't even look back because if I did I wouldn't have walked out that easy. Sam and Ale were waiting for me to sit back down with them and hug. I sat there thinking about Alex the whole time and thinking about our future the moment we get out of the hospital together. All of this hospital stuff started making me think more about Jazz and how she was a miracle so I had hope for Alex. I smiled thinking about her because she is like my guardian angel. She's the reason I'm alive and she can be the reason Alex will be alive
