His Tour Guide

Chapter 66

The following day I am starting to feel a little more human and some of the equipment and drips I had been hooked up to are removed including the catheter so I can finally get out of the bed and try and use my legs. At first I was like Bambi on the ice, but it got easier. Mum and Dad on the sidelines cheering me on and ready to catch me if i fall. I ate some breakfast, a slice of toast and a little fruit. The doctors came and checked me over again, this time testing my fine motor skills and vision. Apparently I am all ok.

"Good news Aimee, we will keep you in one more night and then discharge tomorrow. You will need to rest for 4 weeks and do some physio just to get your muscles back working but then you will be able to go back to normal life" the doctor says. That's amazing news. I desperately want a soak in my bath, to see Louis and to try and get back to how my life was 6 weeks ago. There is only one problem with that, Lori and Namjoon won't be in it this time.

I am allowed to have a shower, but Mum has to be with me, and it's a good job because I stink. I don't think bed baths are necessarily the best way of cleaning. I sit on a chair under the water and Mum washes my hair for me. I use a sponge and soap to clean my body and face and then brush my teeth. It's amazing how just a freshen up makes you feel so much better. I can finally wear my own clothes and not the hospital gown, and my toes are no longer cold because I have on fluffy socks.

I ask if I can take a walk down to the garden and get a little fresh air, I have to be wheeled down in a chair but can walk around outside. The garden is small, a circular path with bushes dotted along it and a few small sapling trees with a few patches of grass and a couple of benches. The sun is shining and it's warm, there is a slight breeze that feels like it is blowing through me. We spend about 30 minutes out there, interchanging from sitting and walking so as to not tire me out.

After a little nap I wake up to Lori sitting in the chair next to me. "Hey mama" I say and smile. She looks up from the book she is reading and smiles back at me. We didn't get a chance to talk yesterday about when she told Yoongi the news of the baby, and I can't wait to find out how he reacted and what was said. "You didn't get the chance to tell me yesterday about when you told Yoongi, I'm intrigued" I say sitting up and taking a sip of water to moisten my dry mouth. She scoots the chair closer to my bed and a huge smile fills her face.

"I only found out last week, everything is still early stages. I'm waiting until I get to Korea to get a midwife or doctor. Yoongi is going to sort all that out for me. It's strange, I think I knew straight away, but when I was a couple of days late I thought it might have been stress from you and not knowing if you were going to wake up or not so I left it.  I'm usually always spot on but still nothing a few days later so last week I did the test and up pops pregnant! I nearly had a heart attack. Honestly my first thoughts were 'he isn't going to want it, I am too young to be a Mum, how am I going to be able to do this, new country, new baby, very new relationship'. We have a set time to talk or FaceTime and I wanted to get it out of the way so that night when he rang I said to him, 'I have something I need to show you'. I held up the test to the screen and everything went quiet. He told me to hang on a minute and I saw him go into another room. I think he might have been with the boys. The door closed and he leant up against it and just cried. I thought to myself oh shit that's not good and then he just said 'I am so happy'. I was amazed. He is desperate to tell all the boys but I want to wait until I have had a scan and a check up and I know everything is all ok".

I wonder if the baby will be a boy or girl, who it will look like and if it will be a music genius like Daddy and beautiful like Mummy. No matter what I will love this baby like I am it's real aunty. I hope that I get to be in the babies life, not just via zoom calls, but again, I need to see if Namjoon wants that. Maybe I will try to bring up our future when he calls later.

"I'm so happy that everything is going well for you and he is pleased about the baby. I'm gonna miss not seeing you in person and watching your bump grow, being there alongside you after baby is here and watching all the milestones" I say looking at her with too much emotion to hide. I start crying but more happy tears than sad for her new adventure.

Her phone rings, it's a FaceTime from Namjoon for me, I don't have a new mobile phone yet so he is contacting me through Lori. I answer and say hello, and he isn't inside with the boys in the background like he was yesterday. He is walking and all I can see is sky. He says hello and asks how I am, and seems a little distracted, this must be it. Where he says he doesn't have feelings for me anymore and wants it to be over with us.  I begin to tell him i'm good and that I went out for a walk today and the fresh air did me good when on the phone he walks into a building and gets into a lift. He is nodding at me and then says have the doctors said anything about discharging me, so I tell him yes tomorrow I should be allowed home, he comes out of the lift in the shot and I see him walk past someone, that someone is a nurse, then I see him pass a doctor. "Are you ok, it looks like you are at a hospital" I say as the door to my room swings open and Namjoon walks in!

I'm in total shock! He must have gotten on a plane not long after we spoke to be here now! I am hoping for him to throw his arms around me and kiss me but he doesn't. Instead he gets down on one knee! "Aimee, will you marry me?"
