Returning To My Rejected Mate

Jake's Point of View

I watch Zane rush outside. Sarah tries to go after him but I step infront of her with my hands out, stopping her and shake my head.

"Let him go. He needs time to work through this on his own. He'll be back."

She sighs but nods at me and goes back to her seat. A nurse comes over and she smiles at me

and Megan.

"Hello Betas. I'm here for the Luna's brother. We have to start the test."

I nod and turn to Dan.

"Dan, the nurse is here for you."

Dan comes ove to us and the nurse smiles at him.

"Please follow me, so we can get started. This won't take to long."

Dan nods at her before turning to Ashley and Sarah.

"I'll be right back."

They both smile at him and he turns and follows the nurse.

Megan goes over and sit down next to Sarah, putting her arm around her shoulder.

"How are you doing?"

Sarah gives her a weak smile and shrugs.

"I'm okay I guess...I just hope they're okay."

Megan hugs her.

"They will be, we just have to have some faith."

Ashley nods rubbing Sarah's back.

"She's right. Shay is strong and stubborn. They'll pull through."

I hear footsteps approaching us and turn my head. I quickly get up, stopping the people heading

our way.

"Where is Zayde?"

"With Amy. Where's Zane? Jackson told me what happened. What did the doctor say? Is Shay okay?"

Diana asks looking behind me and I sigh, trying my best to block them.

"Zane is out for a run. You shouldn't be bere."

I say looking at Jackson and they both frown at me.

"What? Why? What's wrong? Did something happen? Why would he be on a run and not here?" "Jake, just tell me?"

Diana says annoyed and I sigh, running my hand through my hair.

"Shay's pregnant. There was a tear in her uterus because of the fight. They managed to stop the bleeding. But Shay and the baby are both still in critical condition. She needs a blood transfusion and the baby.. Well.. They don't think the baby's chance of survival is all that good."

"Oh god!"

Diana gasps and puts her hand infront of her mouth. I see the color leave Jackson face.

"What did you do Jackson?"

Diana turns, glaring at him accusingly and Jackson shakes his head.

"I didn't know.. If I knew I wouldn't have challenged her... Why would she have agreed to this if she was pregnant?"

He frowns, still shaking his head.

"It's still really early. They suspect that she didn't even know it herself yet."

"Oh god. Zane, that was his howl earlier. I knew something happened."

Diana mumbles and Jackson tries to touch her but she backs away from him.

"Don't you touch me.. As if you haven't done enough before today. They are going to hate us

after this. If you weren't such an asshole she wouldn't have felt to need to accept your challenge.

"

"Diana.."

He tries to reach for her again but she shakes her head, putting her hands up between them.

"No. Just go Jackson. He's right. You shouldn't be here."

He opens his mouth, probably to argue but I stop him.

"Sir.. I really think you shouldn't be here. You should leave before Zane comes back, or Dan is done with the tests for the transfusions. Things are a little tense and I don't think we need to add anymore gasoline to the fire. That won't help anyone."

He looks at me and then back to Diana.

"Please Jackson. Just leave. It's what is best for everyone right now. We don't know how Zane will act if he sees you. It would be better of I was the only one here. I'll let you know of anything happens."

Jackson frowns staring between the two of us before he sighs and nods.

"I'll see you later?"

He asks looking at Diana, waiting for a reply but she only nods at him, not sparing him a single glance as she makes her way over to where the other women are waiting. Jackson sighs again before turning around and leaving the hospital.

I see Diana slowly approaching the sitting women.

"Sarah?"

She asks softly. Sarah lifts her head and she gives Diana a small smile before standing and heading to her to give her a hug. Sarah hugs her back.

"How are you doing? I was planning on visiting you with Shay. Guess fate had other ideas."

Diana asks as Sarah pulls away and they go sit down together.

"I'm doing okay. He's still not really showing any change but I'm not giving up on him."

"I'm sure he'll wake up soon. He is strong. He won't give up that easily."

Sarah nods smiling.

Diana hesitates before she speaks again.

"About Shay. I am so sorry."

She starts but Sarah shakes her head.

"No, stop. This isn't you fault. Or Zane's okay?"

"But Jackson started all of this.."

Sarah sighs and nods.

"I know.. And I'm pretty sure some part of all of us blames him. But you and Zane can't be held

responsible for Jackson's actions. He's the one that should feel bad and responsible. Not you." Diana gives her a small smile and squeezes her hand.

"Thank you."

Sarah nods and they all fall silent again.

Soon Dan joins us again.

"Are you finished?"

Ashley asks, standing up and walking over to him. He nods and wraps her in his arms, kissing her head.

"Yeah.. We're done. They took all they are allowed. I told them to take more, but they wouldn't." He says annoyed and she rubs his chest.

"It's okay baby. You did your part and we'll be here if she needs anymore transfusions."

He nods going over to a chair, sitting down and pulling Ashley onto his lap. I look at my own

mate, giving her a smile and motioning with my head for her to come to me.

"We're going to go get some coffee. Do any of you want something?"

Megan asks and everyone shakes their heads so she makes her way over to me, taking my hand

and we head for the cafeteria.

She rubs her stomach, absentmindedly.

"Are you okay?"

I ask worriedly, looking at her.

She looks up at me and shrugs.

"I'm honestly not sure.. I'm worried about Shay.. And the baby.. I know her.. This will break her if

she loses the baby because of the stupid fight."

I hear the tremble in her voice and pull her to my chest.

"I know. And I know Zane, he'll blame himself for allowing her to get involved in the fight. Zane

already blames himself for it."

"I can't even imagine losing them."

She says resting her hands on her stomach and I nod, placing my hands on top of hers.

"Me neither. I don't know what I'd do if I lost any of you."

"Well, we aren't going anywhere and neither are you."

I nod and smile before kissing her.

"100% for sure.. Now come on, lets go get those coffees."

She nods and we head to the coffee station.

Just as we get back to the waiting area, Zane comes in through the doors again. He looks at me

and we just nod at each other before walking to our chairs and sitting down in silence. All of us just waiting for an update on Shay and the baby.
