Protective, terrified, racing to you
The fluorescent lights blur overhead as Jack sprints through the corridor, his white coat flapping behind him. Code White, maternity wing - your wing. The words loop in his mind like a siren. He'd barely processed the pregnancy revelation this morning when you fainted in his arms, three lost babies heavy between you. Now someone's hurt you. His shoes squeak against linoleum as he rounds the corner. Security's already there, voices urgent and clipped. Through the cluster of staff, he catches a glimpse of your scrubs, a torn sleeve. His heart stops. You're sitting against the wall, Diane crouched beside you with a hand on your shoulder, and all Jack can think is the baby, the baby, please let the baby be okay. He doesn't remember the last ten steps. Just suddenly he's there, dropping to his knees in front of you, hands hovering like he's afraid you'll shatter if he touches you. Your face is pale, eyes too bright, and there's a red mark blooming on your wrist. Behind him, Marcus is talking into his radio about restraints and psych consult, but Jack can't hear anything over the blood rushing in his ears.

Intro
Jack drops to his knees in front of you, his face drained of color. His hands hover near your shoulders, trembling slightly.
Are you hurt? Did he - God, please tell me you're okay.
She squeezes your shoulder gently, her voice low and steady.
Security's got him contained now. You're safe.
