Dear Dollie | Part thirty three
Okay so I decided to do this one from Gators POV it just made sense and instead of half picking up / half time jump I decided to just separate them so the next part WILL be a time jump âșïž
Mentions of blood, Mentions of losing people, Offers hardly any answers to your questions BUT as I said, I think its nice to see Gator suffering for once.

GATORS POV
"Out of the way, Sir" One of the paramedics spoke as an arm pressed across gators chest to slowly push him away from you, Eyes flickering between you and his lifeless son resting on the bed.
Gators eyes moved back to you, slowly moving down your body to the considerable sized pool of blood building against the sheets between your legs.
"No.." Gator spoke barely above a whisper, Fuck not you too. You cant leave him like everyone else had "Fuck, She's fuckin bleedin!" Gator shouted as the paramedic who was already working on you looked over his shoulder at Gator.
Gator dropped to his knees on the floor next to you, Hand stroking the hair off your face as his eyes searched yours. Urging you to just stay, Don't leave him to do this alone.
"Cmon mama, he's here. He's finally here" He forced a smile to his face, and you looked at him. Your big eyes weren't filled with fear like he expected them to be, They were kind of glazed over he knew you weren't really listening to him. The soft smile on your face turned his stomach, What the fuck were you happy about? His life was falling apart in front of him. "H-hes perfect" Gator tried, Noticing the light slowly leaving your eyes.
"Sir you need to back up" The paramedic spoke again as he stood up once again moving Gator out of the way.
Gators hand rested against his mouth, Watching as your eyes slowly closed. Quickly turning his attention back to his son who had more people stood around him than Gator expected, Startling him a little as he tried to find a spot he could see through them to check on him.
"He okay?" Gator asked as tears rolled down his cheeks, He wanted to stay next to you and hold your hand, Be there when you finally came back around but his son needed him right now too. "Said is he fuckin okay?" He shouted, Totally ignored by them all as they got him ready to leave.
"Can I just see him?" Gator asked hand grabbing at one of the paramedics shoulders, Once again he was nudged out of the way. He watched as you were both carried away, Heart racing in his chest as he grabbed the hospital bags you'd packed together. Mind filling with the memories of you both bickering over which onesie would be best, Gator picking a navy blue one with little deers all over it and you picking a plain white one just incase he came out a girl. You throwing the white one into the bag and Gator sneaking his choice inside when you weren't looking, Dollie kissing the teddy that Gator took her out to get so she could give him a present when he arrived. Your face when you talked about having a baby shower, Something he never got round to planning with you. Guilt eating away at him of all of the things you wanted to do this pregnancy that he let slip past him, Thinking they weren't important. Hitting him like a train that they were important, They were memories now lost.
Gator let the bags drop from his hands as he walked towards your dresser, The framed photo of the three of you that day that Dollie and him set up the little photoshoot. He picked it up dragging his finger slowly across the glass, Sob falling from him as he placed it back down. Everything was perfect that day, You and Gator still weren't together but it felt good. He'd do anything to go back to that day, The four of you all safe and well. Loved.
He took in your apartment one last time, The chaos you'd both left behind before picking up the bags and following behind.

"Where are they?" Gator shouted as he ran into the reception of the hospital, Eyes frantic as he searched for anyone who could help him. His chest was heaving, Sweat pooling on his forehead, Hands shaking as he approached the desk looking down at the concerned woman with his wild eyes. "My- my girl and my baby..They.. FUCK" He slammed his hands down onto the desk before turning away placing his hand against his mouth as he tried to pull himself back together.
"Sir?" The woman called with a soft voice, Gator turned slowly to face her noticing the sympathetic look she carried "Would you like to give me some more information so I can help you?"
"M-my girlfriend, she had the baby at home. They're in a bad way I don't know what else to tell you" He almost sobbed as he looked around the room for any signs of you both.
"okay, okay" She tried to calm him, Typing something into her computer "Tell me her name"
So he did, The seconds it took her to find where you both were felt like days passing to Gator. Heart feeling like the moment they took you both away it disappeared.
"They're here, got here a few minutes before you. I can take you to the waiting room" She smiled softly, pushing her chair away from the desk as Gator followed behind her. " Is he dead?"
The woman shot him a sympathetic look that made his stomach turn and the lump in his throat feel impossible to swallow, His eyes searching hers as they stood at the door of the waiting room.
"I don't have that information sir, But if you wait in here I'll let the doctors know you've arrived"
Gator walked into the cold room, A sofa sat pressed up against the wall that looked like it had been there a hundred years. He wondered how many other people had sat on it in the same situation as him, How many people got told the news that there child and partner had died just as things were getting better.
Would he be the next to be told that? He couldn't shake the sight of you on the bed, He'd never seen so much blood coming from one person. The reassuring smile on your lips as you closed your eyes burned into him forever. Fuck, Why didnt he take more care of you? What if he never got the chance to tell you how much he loved you again? Why didnt he fight more when you said you wanted to stay at home? No, that wasn't your home. Your home was with him he told himself before trying to shake the unhelpful thoughts away.
His mind moved straight onto his son, The son he'd spent months dreading the arrival of incase he couldn't be a good dad to him. The son he'd promised to himself that he would be better than his dad, Head filled with plans of things he wanted to do with him, Things he wanted to show him. The way he had the same little nose that Dollie did when she was born, His long eyelashes that never moved not once as he lay lifeless in his hands. Would he ever get to see what he looked like with his eyes open? Would he ever get to smell that addicting newborn smell that he'd grown to love when Dollie was born, sad when it disappeared. Gators head was spinning, He didnt realise that he was breathing so heavily as he paced around the room, Hands shaking as he tried to steady himself feeling light headed. What if you never got to see your son? Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!
Dollie, His baby girl. His pride and joy who longed for a sibling you'd both finally gave her, He remembered the day you both told her. The joy on her little face letting him know that he'd done the right thing, He always knew he'd done the right thing bringing you into her life. You'd made her life better, You'd made his life better too. How would he explain to Dollie that her mama was never coming home? How would he explain that the baby brother shed had spent so long waiting for wasn't happening anymore. How do you explain death to a six year old? The only way she'd ever know about him would be through things that Gator told her, Like a story he'd tell her at bedtime. Someone that only existed in fairytales now.
Gators chest was heaving, Sweat forming against his eyebrows as he paced around the room. The vibrating of his phone in his pocket pulling him from the thoughts.
"Gator? Where are you?" Tara spoke down the phone, Gators breath caught in his throat as he listened to Dollie giggling with baby Tommy in the back ground "We had her over night which I don't mind but you said it would be a few hours is everything okay?"
Gator bit down on his lip to try and muffle the sob that was begging to come out, Wanting to break down and tell her everything because he knew she'd listen and right now he was alone in this.
"C-can I speak ta doll?" He asked exhaling as tears clouded his vision once again "Please"
"Dollie, Daddy's on the phone" Tara called out to her "Gator? Just..Is she okay?"
Gator didnt answer, He couldn't. Not just because he knew he couldn't really tell her anything but because once he started he wouldn't be able to stop.
"Daddy?" Dollies sweet little voice called through the phone "Daddy we forgot to bring bunny with us, ive been missing him and I miss you" Dollie chattered away, A slight smile forming against gators lips as she soothed him without even knowing.
"M'sorry baby"
"It's okay daddy, Can I speak to mama too?" The question was so innocent but carried so much heaviness with it, She didnt know of course she would want to talk to you.
"Bit busy at moment Dollie girl" Gator bit down on his lip trying to muffle the sob that he couldn't hold onto anymore.
"Hmm okay" Dollie sighed "I miss mama and the baby too"
"Y-yeah, They miss you too.. Daddy's gotta go" Gator pulled the phone away from his ear for a second, head thrown back as he tried to breathe through it "I love ya baby girl" Gator whispered into the phone before hanging up.
TARA: What's going on?
He needed to tell her, He knew he did but he just hoped she didnt start freaking out.
đ: Babies here, Both bad way. Don't freak out.
TARA: Bad way? Im coming up
Gator sighed as he pushed his phone back into his pocket, He didnt want her here but what did he expect? She was the most important person in your life.
The door to the room creaked open, eyes filled with tears as he turned to look at the doctor in the doorway. The blood still on his scrubs as he looked at him, Blank expression leaving Gator thinking the worst.
"We have your son in the NICU, We had to perform resuscitation on him" Gators heart if he had anything left of it was broken, Fear pulsing through his body as he waited for the doctor to continue "But we managed to get a pulse before we arrived at the hospital"
Gator let out a choked sob as he fell to his knees, He didnt really believe in god since breaking away from his dad but if there was one you best believe he's fucking thanking him right now.
"Fuck" He sobbed, never feeling so grateful for something in his life "My girl? Is she?.."
"She's lost a lot of blood, She's still bleeding but she's in the best hands" He sighed, Gators stomach turned as a feeling of nausea washed over him. But he had to be strong now, He promised himself once he had Dollie he never wanted to bring another child Into the world without having two parents but this was out of his control "We're doing everything we can" He spoke softly, like he knew the outcome already but didnt want to say it.
"She gonna die?" Gator asked abruptly, Not sure why he asked because he didnt want to know the answer. Right now he could just believe you were going to get better, Eventually he'd be able to bring your son to you, Show you what you'd grown finally.
"Like I said, Were doing everything we can" The doctor smiled softly at Gator who wasn't feeling anymore relived. Maybe it's what he deserved after everything he'd done, All the mess he'd bought to you. Maybe he was finally being punished for all of the lives he'd took away, Maybe it was his turn to lose someone he loved.
"Can I see my son?" Gator asked, Voice weak as he spoke not really hearing his response as everything raced through his mind but he guessed it was a no as he watched him walk through the door taking whatever was left of his heart with him.
He sat down against the sofa, letting his head fall back against the fabric. Everything feeling numb, If he slipped away with you guys now he don't think he'd care as he slowly started to drift off.
"Daddy?" Dollie called as she sheepishly stepped towards him, Gators heart basically flipped as he opened his eyes to look at her. Of course he'd care, His whole world was stood right in front of him, Except his whole world extended to the both of you too now.
Gator sobbed as he pulled her into his lap, Tara sat down on the sofa next to him wrapping her arms around them both.
"Hes okay" Gator managed to get out between peppering kisses across the top of dollies head "But she aint"
Taras eyes widened as she looked at his tear stained cheeks, The way his bottom lip was dry and sore like he'd been biting it. The sheer panic in his eyes as he looked at her, silently begging her to tell him it was all going to be okay.
Dollies eyes were locked on Gators, Little hands pressed to either side of his face as she stroked her thumbs against the stray tears.
"Is mama gonna be okay daddy?"
Gator let his head rest against dollies forehead softly, Wanting to tell her that yes, You were going to be okay. But truly he didnt know.
