An hour later There was a man pacing back and forth in the waiting room. He looked at Diane and he had to wonder what happened while he was gone. He had left to go to a meeting and his daughter was fine. Then he received the phone call. Dropping everything he rushed to the hospital to find out that his daughter was in the operating room and no one could give him the answer he needed.

Diane was trying to tell him that she had no idea what happened. She was trying to comfort him and tell her that everything would be fine. She was his daughter after all. She was such a strong girl.

“What happened really?” the father said as he looked at his wife.

“I have no idea. She just started to scream and then she ended up calling the paramedics without telling me.” Diane said as she looked at her husband. She was acting like the caring loving step-mother. “You know if something was wrong I would have helped her in anyway. I have helped raise her. She is just as important to me as she is to you.”

“I am not sure about that.” Jade’s father said rather loudly. “I know you were mad at her and took out the fact you can’t have kids out on her.”

“That is a low blow.” Diane said.

“And my daughter is in the hospital while under your supervision.” He said as he turned away from her. He was to upset to deal with his wife and her jealousy of the girl. His only child.

A nurse walked out of the room. She looked like she had been through the wringer and was in a hurry. “What is going on with Jade?” he said as he went and blocked her way from them. He had been watching for anyone to be able to tell him news of Jade.

“I don’t have time to talk to you. Your grandson is doing well and in the nursey though he was born a few weeks early. Jade is not doing well. She lost to much blood during the surgery. I have to go and get her some more. Please get out of my way.”

“I can donate!” he said as he looked at the nurse. “I am her father.”

“What blood type are you?” the nurse asked quickly knowing ever second she wasted the patient was suffering.

“B positive.” Her father said. She was having him walk with her as she went to get more of the life saving blood for Jade. They walked by the department where he could get cross tested quickly while she got more of the universal type. The nurse had the tech rush the test and the cross typing as well.

When the nurse came back the tech went to talk to her. They were speaking in hushed tones. That was when the nurse shook her head. Then walked over to the older man who was waiting to donate to his daughter.

“Sir I am sorry but you are not a match to your daughter.” The nurse said.

“Of course I am!” the man said. “I have to do something to help!”

“Sir. The blood test proved you are not her biological father.” The nurse said. “Her blood type is not compatible with yours.”

“What?” the man said as he stood there and just looked blank. His daughter wasn;t his child? She wasn;t his biological child? Nothing made sense to him. It felt like his heart had been ripped out. There was nothing that could help the bleakness that filled him. He felt like the world had disappeared.

It took him close to an hour to go back upstairs. He saw Dian there and she was looking over Jade who was still out from her surgery. She was glaring at the girl. She looked up to her husband and looked him over, “It doesn’t look like you gave her any blood.”

“I couldn’t.” He said as he looked at his wife. “She isn’t my daughter.”

“What?” Diane asked as she looked at her husband.

“Her blood test proved it. She isn’t mine.” The man said defeated.

“You have put so much into the girl.” Diane said as she began to laugh. “You have given her everything and you spoiled her. She isn’t even yours. You are nothing more than an idiot who got caught.”

The older man walked out of the room. His heart was shattered into a thousand pieces. There was nothing that anyone could do. There were no words that could help him right now. He didn’t even want to look at the girl.

Jade came to a few hours later. She was blinking her eyes open. Though the pain was over wracking her tiny body. She could feel some of it lingering in her muscles. She looked over and saw her step-mother looking out the window. “Where is my baby?” Jade asked.

“Oh you’re awake.” Dian said as she turned and her face was in a deep scowl. “Good. I think you and I have a few things to discuss.”

“Where is my dad?” She asked as she looked at her step mother again and wondered what was going on.

“Your what? I think you mean my husband not your father.” Diane said as she walked over and looked at the girl in the bed. She was laughing hard as she spoke. Though she was nearing the bed by taking calculated steps. “My husband is not your father. Your stupid slut of a mother lied to him. A blood test proved it. Now you are nothing but a bastard. Like you son. A bastard’s bastard. Now this is what will happen. You get nothing. Your father never wants to see you again. Don’t think you can talk your way out of this. You are nothing. Worthless. Absolutely trash. Nothing you can do will ever change that. Do not bother asking for help from him. He did enough for you. Leave us alone.”

The older woman was near spitting on Jade every time she spoke. There was nothing holding her back and then she turned on her heel and was out the door. Jade was in shock.

If that wasn;t bad enough one of the nurses walked in shortly after. “Your stepmother just terminated your health care. I am sorry but this a private hospital. Both you and your child will be discharged in an hour.”

“What?” Jade asked as she looked at herself knowing she now had no father or place to go. Her life was falling apart quickly and there was nothing she could do to hold it together.

The nurse came in again and had her son there in front of her. The two were packed up and there was a wheelchair as well. They were being thrown out. Jade Winchester had nothing in the world except her son as the nurse wheeled her out into the night. She was in pain still from the stitched in her abdomen.

The storm had somewhat cleared. Though it was wet everywhere she was left under the awning of the hospital. Jade looked around trying to figure out what she was going to do when a shadow appeared off to the side of the building. She was lost and confused as well.

“Are you okay?” a deep voice asked from the dark.

“no.” Jade responded.

“Well lets see if we can fix this.” The voice said again as it began to move a little closer.
