Our Hearts (Book 3)

CHAPTER 14

~WESTON~

I try to open my eyes but everything hurts, I want to scream out in pain but nothing happens. Am I dead now? What about our baby? Did she make it? I can feel Hero's presence. I hear him talking but I don't know what he's saying or who he's talking to. I try to open my eyes again, I can feel that they are moving under the lids but nothing other than that. I want to hold his hand. I need to feel his skin against mine. I need to be able to hear his calming voice. I try so hard but the harder I try, it seems I'm getting further away.

I hear him pleading. His voice is closer and my fingers get a jolt of electricity. I know he is holding my hand now. Only Hero has that effect on me. I think I'm smiling. It feels like that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~HERO~

I'm talking to Seth, Pollux, and Damon. Danie and Riley are on their way over here. I don't think there's another place that they rather are right now. I take a seat beside Weston and I talk to her. her eyes move under the lids. I take her hand and I get that jolt of electricity that I always get when I touch her. We're like magnets. I move, she moves. I look at her beautiful face, it almost looks like she's smiling.

"Baby, please wake up." I kiss her hand then her forehead. "She'll wake up. She has to." Seth says. "Yeah. I know." I almost broke down. I try so hard to not lose my calm. She needs my calm. I can't be a wreck when I'm close to her. Dani and Riley walk inside the room. Riley's eyes are swollen and bloodshot. When she sees Weston she almost collapses on the floor but Damon catches her. He picks her up and carries her bridal style and takes a seat beside Weston's bed. Riley's crying against his chest. He rubs her back and plants a kiss on the top of her head.

Dani walks over to Seth and he breaks in her arms. He's a mess. Even bigger than I am. Even though I have a very special bond with her, I know that their bond is way stronger and on a whole different level. When she breaks, he breaks. It's really hard to watch him but Dani holds him tight and I really think they're so good for each other.

I fall asleep with my head close to Weston's arm. I wake up with a light touch on my hair. I open my eyes and sit up straight. Her eyes meet mine. "Hey, baby."

"Hey." Her eyes filled with tears. "Wh...wha...what happened?" She asks. "You fell down the stairs and you started to bleed bad and then you fainted." I tell her. "Our Angel?"

"She's fine." I say. "Thank god!" I lean into her face and kiss her lips softly. I wipe away her tears. "What did the doc say about the bleeding?"

"She hasn't said anything yet but I guess it can't be that bad. Otherwise, she would let me know." I say. "Yeah. How's Riley?" She asks. "Broken but I think Damon's going to help her get through it. They will heal each other."

"Wow. Didn't see that one coming."

"I know but I think they're good for each other. I don't think Riley will go back to Vince. He screwed up big time." I say. "Yeah, he did. He's an asshole."

"Yes."

"Where is he?" She asks. "He's at the clubhouse. He hasn't left his room since you fell down."

"Is Billie there with him?"

"I honestly don't know." I tell her. "Okay, maybe that's for the best. I don't know if I have any more strength for all that drama."

"Yeah. You should take it easy and rest, you know. It's been a crazy few days with Lynette, Shay, Billie, and now Vince."

"Yeah. I know." She says. "I'll go and get Dr. Bree, okay?" She nods and I leave the room.

~WESTON~

I fell down a fucking staircase! I'm so damn clumsy, I can't even see my own feet right now. I try not to think about Vince but it's hard not to. He's such an important person in my life but after this, I don't know if I can ever see him like that role model I used to. He fucks up time and time again and this time he really hurt my friend. She was so worried about their relationship and I was so sure about them. I guess I was wrong.

Hero told me that Riley has been hanging out with Damon. I think that's good. He seems like a guy with both his feet on solid ground. She needs someone who always puts her first. She needs to be treated like a queen. She's such an amazing person and she deserves the best. I really hope that they can find each other. Vince can burn in hell.

Hero and Dr. Bree walked inside my room. "Hey Weston, how do you feel?" She asks. "Tired, big, clumsy, and my body aches." I tell her. "I understand. I have some good news and some bad news." She says. "Start with the good news."

"As you wish. Well, your placenta didn't burst when you fell. I'm not sure where the bleeding came from, but your baby is fine. Perfect heartbeat and she's growing exactly as she should."

"Okay." I say. "But...we need to schedule a C-section and it has to be in about three weeks. Because the bigger your baby gets, the higher the risks are that your placenta will burst."

"Okay, but is she going to make it if she gets born that early?" I ask. "Yes, Her body is fully developed. The last few weeks are all about gaining weight."

"Oh, okay."

"And...I'm serious now, Weston." She says. "About?"

"You need to take things slow. I know you have a history of anxiety but you really need to stop stressing yourself and bed rest! Of course, you can walk around, but only short and slow walks." She orders me. "I don't know if I can do that." I tell her. "I know it's hard but that's really important right now. It's for your baby."

"Yeah, I'll try my very best."

"That's all I'm asking and if you have any questions or need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. You can call me all hours." She says. "Thank you. I really appreciate that." I tell her. "Okay. Well. I'm going to get your discharge paper ready. You can leave today, but you have to take it easy."

"I promise."

"Good, I'll be right back." I nod. My head is spinning, there are so many thoughts I need to organize. I need to calm the fuck down. I can't go into the clubhouse until the baby is here because every fucking time I do that, something happens. I'm gonna stay home and order furniture and interior for the nursery and then I'm gonna force Riley and Dani to keep me company. They can be my housemaids. I smile to myself.
