Welcome to Gaia! ::

"H-He said he killed m-m-mom-my an-d a-nd Riley..." She sobbed, meaning Sloan when she said he. "Is mommy d-dead?" She asked, hoping the answer was no, though she still clung to him as closely as possible. "Is Riley dead?"

Marco sighed as he pulled up a chair next to Riley's box, deciding to stay with him since Adrian had torn off to find Calista. "It'll be okay buddy. They'll fix your mom up, you'll get big and strong real fast and your dad and big sister will be okay..." He muttered, looking to the small baby, though he wasn't even sure at this point.

Calista nodded, still sniffling as the doctors took her back to get the blood off of her and wrapped her knees and elbows up in gauze. Her bruises were much darker and more vivid with the blood gone, but she stayed quiet until the doctors were done and let her go off with Adrian. She was nervous to see Riley, since her mom had told her that Riley was still not ready to be born, though her dad now said she could see him even though her mom was in surgery.

Marco got up from his chair seeing Adrian and Calista walk in, moving off to the side though he left the chair there so Calista could stand on it and see Riley.

Calista climbed up on the chair, resting a hand on the box as she looked at the tiny baby inside. "Why's Riley so little daddy? Is he hurt?" She asked, looking concerned as she stared up at her dad.

"Is he gonna be okay?" She asked, still sad as she looked back down at him. He looked so fragile, like he'd blow away with the wind if even the slightest breeze brushed him.

Thirteen hours after Adrian had brought Amaya in, Dr Wilder stepped into the neonatal unit. By now Calista was curled up on Marco's lap, Marco sitting in a rocking chair nearby Riley, though he let Adrian stay close to him. Seeing Adrian, Dr Wilder walked over, gripping the man on the shoulder lightly so as not to disturb Calista or any of the babies in the room.

Half asleep, Marco noticed Dr Wilder walk in, and nodded to Adrian, letting him know he could go with the doctor. Marco could hang back and make sure Calista and Riley were okay.

"There was a lot of internal damage Adrian. Much more than last time." Dr Wilder sighed as he began. "We did everything we can for her, but we lost her three times. Her arm reabsorbed after the first time and she was under for a long time. With Amaya pulling her powers in, it's made it very hard for our equipment to get accurate readings. We fixed everything we could find, but when we opened her up, her chest was filled with blood. She was using her power to keep her heart pumping...but in a normal person, it would have caused death. With the lungs unable to expand and the pressure increasing, she was basically drowning in her own blood. We were able to find the source of the bleeding at stop it, but she's lost a lot of blood, she was under for a long time, and her heart is very weak. She's on life support and her brain activity is minimal. Now we're not completely sure about her mental functionality because of the interference her powers have been giving us, but as it stands, she is unable to breathe on her own. There's a chance she could make a full recovery, but we can't be sure about anything. Some of the experimental drugs she was forced to take have been documented to put subjects in a comatose state until they are able to fully heal, but at this point we can't be entirely sure without having some way to directly go in her head without machines and find out what is really going on..." He murmured, knowing the news would be hard to hear. Basically what he was telling Adrian was it might be time to pull the plug, or she could make it with permanent damage, or there was a very slim chance she'd be okay.

"Adrian if you force her heart to pump harder than it can handle right now, it will only hurt her. There was a hole in her heart and several arteries. She could bleed to death if those stitches rip, and the tissue is very fragile at the moment. She's being given blood, but at the moment we just can't tell how she responding or if she's even responding at all." Dr Wilder said, gripping Adrian's shoulders tightly, looking him in the eye to try and get him to calm down. "I know you don't want to lose her but she's suffered extensive and severe trauma and we just can't tell fully how it's affected her right now."

"Of course." Dr Wilder said with a brief nod, leading him back to Amaya's room.

It was a dark room once again, but Amaya lay motionless on the bed with wires everywhere it seemed. Some monitored what little brain activity was there while others fed her blood and IV fluids, the respirator pumped her lungs full of air while another machine monitored her slow heartbeat. Her pale skin looked almost translucent now, revealing dark bruises under her skin where blood vessels had burst or blood had collected. Besides the faint beeps and hisses from the various machines keeping Amaya alive, silence hung in the room.

((Awww! *Hugs Adrian*))

Amaya's chest rose and fell with each pump from the respirator. Her brain activity picked up at bit at Adrian's voice. Walking over to the monitor, Dr Wilder looked at the screen. "It seems she can hear you. From what I can tell from at first glance, she put herself in a semi-comatose state. She can hear you, the activity at your voice should be evidence enough, but her brain activity is still minimal. Until she's stronger and conscious, we still can't tell the full extent of the damage. But she can hear you." He told Adrian, knowing he would at least be comforted to know that Amaya could hear him.
