Forever Together

Chapter 87

"Mr. Kim, Mr. Min, your, ah girlfriend, wife, surrogate. Whatever she is, she's dying. I don't know any other way to put this: her kidneys are failing her. Between breastfeeding the twins, she JUST had six months ago and now being pregnant with triplets. They are sucking her life away. She's not eating or resting properly. Did you know she's lost almost 30 pounds since she got pregnant? I don't know what you seven were thinking, but you are quite literally killing the woman you supposedly love."

They both had tears in their eyes, "is there anything we can do to fix this, Doctor?" Yoongi begged.

"The only thing that will help her right now is to terminate this pregnancy, and she'll need a kidney transplant. If those things don't happen, be prepared to say goodbye to her."

"Hyungie, what do we do?"

"We terminate the pregnancy now and figure out if any of us are compatible to be kidney donors."

"Hyungie, your babies."

"Don't you think I know that? But the babies aren't even here, and Stasia is. I won't make Ami an orphan. Do you want Luna to grow up without her mother? I'd rather lose the babies than lose her." 

"Be careful what you wish for, Hyungie; I've lost a child, remember? Plus, do you think Stasia would want this?"

Jin screamed, "I don't know what she wants because she won't wake up. My children are literally killing the woman I love with my entire being. I'd rather never be a father if it means losing her." He broke down and fell. Yoongi caught him in his arms. 

"We can't terminate the babies without her permission since she isn't married; let's hope she wakes up soon. I don't know how long she can survive," the Doctor said.

Do you know how they say people in comas can hear everything? Well, it's true, she heard Jin and Yoongi fighting. She heard her children saying Eomma. She heard Yoongi whispering that if she'd just wake up, he'd marry her right then. Joon read to her every day; Jungkook sang her favorite songs. Jimin and Tae joked constantly; Jin was always quiet. He'd talk for a bit but mostly he'd hold her hand and cry, he'd say sorry over and over. Hobi even tried using his Dom voice, telling her to wake up. It didn't work. She was getting better since she was resting and being pumped full of calories and food.  

Aimes and the twins were having the hardest time. They were older, so they knew that something was wrong. Ami wanted to know why she'd been in the hospital so much and why she wasn't waking up. Jungkook told them she would soon, he promised.

Hopefully, he could live up to that promise. The first time she woke up, it was snowing outside. A very haggard Seokjin was asleep in the chair next to her. "My Guardian Angel, you are always here when I wake up. I hope you know how much I love you?" She fell back asleep before he was fully awake. 

"No, I swear she was awake. She talked to me."

"Hyungie, I think you might have dreamed it. We looked at her charts; nothing changed," Yoongi whispered.

Jin started crying, "I swear I heard her. She called me her Guardian Angel and told me she loved me. I need her back, Yoongi. It's been months!"

She could hear them talking about the baby's first birthday. They didn't want to do anything without her, but they didn't know if she'd be awake for it. She hoped she'd be awake. She did have moments of awareness, but they were never longer than a few seconds, and Jin was always there. Sometimes with another member, but he was there every time she woke up. 

Stasia dreamt about Noah. He was on the bench again, looking stressed. "Noah, what's wrong?" 

He stood up and was pacing back and forth. He stopped and looked at her, "Why won't you wake up? You have seven men who love you with everything they are and ten children waiting on you. You have to wake up, Stasia. I didn't throw you into Jungkook's arms just to watch you waste away in a hospital bed. I love you, Stasia, so much. I was willing to let you go to be happy. Stop feeling guilty and live your life. But you have to wake up. Wake up, Stasia, WAKE UP NOW," he yelled.

When she woke up, it was sunny outside. Jin was sleeping with his head on her bed, she reached up to pet his hair, his head snapped up. "Morning, sleepyhead, at least I think it's morning. I'm not sure even what day it is." 

He just looked at her. "Am I dreaming again? This is like last time. I'll tell them I heard you, and they'll call me crazy," he blew out a breath.

"Hey, look at me, I'm here. Did I miss Nami and JJ's first birthday?" 

His eyes went wide, "you really are back?" She nodded, and he kissed her.

"How long was I out?" 

He looked down at the ground, "Stasia, you've been in a coma for two years. They wanted to abort the babies, but because we aren't married, we couldn't make that decision for you. You needed a kidney transplant, but they couldn't do it until you weren't pregnant." 

Stasia looked down at her very flat stomach, "please tell me that you didn't," she couldn't even get the word out.
