My Baby
"Jess! Jessica, wake up!" Danny shakes her.
"What?! Danny, go to bed!"
"No, wait! Do you hear something?"
"No! Now go to sleep!"
"It's Ashton! I think somethings wrong!" Danny quickly gets out of the bed and hurries to their bedroom.
He heard Ashton begging Anastasia to wake up, and he of course panicked. Danny swung the door open and ran to his daughter.
"What's going on?! ANASTASIA!"
"I-I think she took too many pills, Danny! The ambulance is on their way. I'm so scared!" He sobs.
"JESSICA! JESSICA!" Danny shouted loudly, waking up the rest of the house.
Everyone ran into the bedroom in a panic.
"What's- MY BABY!" Jessica ran to her daughter and dropped to her knees.
"Ana! Ashton, what happened to her?!" Gabriella asks.
"She took some pills. Gabriella, go downstairs and wait for the paramedics." Danny said.
Gabriella stood there watching her sister with tears pouring down her face.
"GO!" Danny shouts.
Gabriella ran down just in time to let them in.
Jessica held her daughter to her chest and sobbed.
"Baby girl, hang on. It's going to be okay.
Mommy's here, it's okay! Just listen to my voice and hang on. Please hang on." She says that last part in a tearful whisper.
Soon the paramedics arrived.
"I'm going with her!" Jessica shouted.
Ashton wouldn't let go of Anastasia's hand. He wanted to be the one with her in the ambulance, but he knew he should let Jessica.
Ashton leaned forward and kissed Anastasia.
"I love you, Ana. Don't leave me."
He then let go of her hand and she and Jessica were off.
Julio stayed with William, and Danny, Gabriella, Lucy and Ashton left for the hospital.
After what felt like forever, Jessica walked out to the waiting area.
"Jess!" Danny said when he saw his wife.
"How is she? Is she okay?" Gabriella asked in tears.
"She's okay.. she's out of it.. but she's okay."
"Oh thank God!" Ashton sighs and grabs his head.
"They said we could all go back there if we wanted..
I just don't understand. I thought she was okay now.
Did you know she was taking these pills?" Jessica asks Ashton.
"No! I didn't know.. how could I have not known?! What if something would have happened to her?"
"We can't think about that. We just need to get her into a good facility. She needs help. We can't just talk to her anymore. She needs Professional help." Danny says.
"Dad's right. We're going have to find a place back home. We can't leave her out here alone.
I know she has you, Ashton, but I feel like she needs as many people as possible. She has to go back to New Orleans."
"I agree." Ashton nods.
Jessica nods and takes a deep breath.
"Let's go before she wakes up."
**
Everyone sat around just watching Anastasia.
Jessica held one hand and Ashton held the other.
"Guys look!" Gabriella said as Anastasia slowly opened her eyes.
"Mommy.." Anastasia said. Jessica was the first person she saw.
"Yes! I'm here, baby girl! We're all here!"
"Mom.."
"Oh Anastasia! Sweet girl." Jessica held her cheeks in her hands and kissed her cheeks.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to. I guess I just took too many.. I'm sorry."
"Baby girl, we're going to get you help."
"Yes, we were talking and your mom suggested that we go back to New Orleans and check you into a facility there."
"What? No, I can stop on my own. I have to be in Mexico for a film in two weeks!"
"Honey, you can't! This comes first, Anastasia." Jessica says.
"I'm an adult, mom. You can't tell me what to do!"
"We almost lost you, tonight, Anastasia! I will not bury my daughter!" She shouts.
"This was a huge wake up call, mom. I won't do it again! I've learned my lesson!"
"Just come home, Ana! Please." Jessica cries.
"Your mom is only doing what's best for you, Anastasia." Ashton says.
"Oh you're on her side? I'm a grown woman and I can do whatever the hell I want! I have to get ready for this film, I don't have time for this."
"This is your life, Anastasia!" Gabriella says.
"Stop acting like it's not a big deal!"
"I can stop, I know I can!"
"Really? Because you've said that before." Gabriella says bouncing her sleeping baby.
"Just please come home. If not, check into a facility here. You need help, honey."
"Mom, I'm fine."
"Ana.."
"I'm Fine!"
***
One month later.
"I can't believe you're leaving me, William!"
"Aw! Tell Lolli she can visit!" Gabriella says.
"You can visit us, Lolli!"
"I can, baba!" Jessica hugs him tightly.
William then punches his little fists into her stomach. "Squishy tummy! Squishy tummy!"
"Oh thanks!" Jessica laughs and lightly smacks his butt as he runs off laughing.
"I'm sorry, he's a mess!" Gabriella chuckles.
"Oh he's fine! The twins do the same thing!"
"Do they?!"
"Yes, they think it's hilarious!"
"They're funny!" She giggles.
".. But really, momma, visit us!"
"I CAN. But I have twins.."
"So?"
"They're assholes, sweetie."
"Oh right!"
Jessica laughs.
"I love them but.. yeah, they're right in asshole level!"
"Mom!" Gabriella laughs.
She then bounces the baby softly and changes the subject.
"Mom?"
"Yes?"
"I'm worried about Anastasia."
"I know. But I trust Ashton. He's been with her and he's kept a close watch. He says she's doing well."
"Still. I don't have a good feeling about this."
Jessica sighs and says, "To be honest, I'm worried about the both of you."
"What? Why?!"
"How much do you weigh, Gabriella?"
"How much do I weigh? What kind of question is that?" She chuckles.
"You lost a lot of weight in a very short amount of time. You're not eating, Gabriella."
"I am, mom! Don't worry." She smiles.
"You're eating just enough to keep her healthy. Not enough to keep the both of you healthy."
"Mom. Again.. I'm fine."
"I'm a mother. Worrying comes with the job."
Gabriella smiles softly.
"Oh I know! I totally understand that now.
I worry about my little cuties twenty four seven."
"It just means you're a good momma."
Jessica kisses Gabriella's forehead, then softly caresses Lucy's cheek.
"She's sleeping. The little angel!" Jessica giggles.
"She's so cute, isn't she?"
"She sure is! Oh I'm going to miss you guys!"
"We'll miss you too. Keep me updated, please." She says hugging her mother.
"I will. Love you, Princess."
"Love you more, Mamacita."
