Nick's shout made him forget all about his injury though. He took off
towards the vault door.
"Julia," he called as he helped Nick move the door away and rushed inside.
He ran to her side, squinting in the darkness.
"Julia....," he stopped and put his hands on her gently, checking for a
pulse and respiration. Thankfully she had both.
"Julia....wake up," he said softly.
"D..Derek..?" Julia whispered, hearing his voice as if from far away and her
throat hurting before she started coughing and reaching for his arm
"..'melia..."
Her right hand moved over her stomach as she leaned toward Derek, only to
frown with confusion as she drew the hand that had been touching him back
and seeing red....
She made a confused sound deep in her throat and looked at him. It was
blood. Julia was trying to sit up at this point and moved to hug him with
relief, at the same time touching her lips to his cheek and the crook of his
neck "I knew you'd find us."
