Lost Soul

Part 11 : it's ok

Kelly was waiting for someone to tell him where to find Stella, but no one seemed to know. And so he started looking himself, and then came to his mind. There could only be one place she would be at.

He went there, and found her right where he thought she'd be. Looking at the babies through the glass.

"There you are" he said relieved "you need to be resting Stella, come on"

"i don't need that, i'm fine. Seeing them brings me peace"

"Yeah?" He asked softly.

"I don't want to go back to my room, it's empty. And my baby is gone, the incision they made is hurting me like hell and what for if my baby is not there. Oh and guess what, I believe my body is full on producing milk as if there was a baby to feed"

Kelly didn't really know what to say "i'm sorry"

"What did i do wrong, why does Grant hates me so much"

"Wait, you know for a fact it was him?" He asked a bit confused.

"When i turned around as i heard the noise, i saw his face. It was very brief but i know it was him."

She was talking to Kelly without even looking at him, her focus was on the babies.

"Well i'll tell Atwater then"

"Why, all this time and they still haven't found him"

Stella's attitude was different, she was mad and maybe that was her way of processing the fact that even this close to having her child, Grant had managed to take it from her.

"Can i do anything for you?"

She took a deep breath "i'm so sorry, i don't know how to feel. But could you help me back to the room"

"Of course"

So he grabbed her gently, her whole body was hurting but more than her body it was her soul. She was hurt and had been hurt for a long time, she grabbed onto Kelly so that she could walk better. Sitting in her bed was then difficult for her, the c section incision was hurting her a lot.

"Do you think it would be possible to get some nurse in here"

"Yes sure, i'll go get one"

Kelly got up and went to look for a nurse, as he found one he told her about Stella.

"Look do you think you'd be able to give her a little something to calm down. I just need her to sleep a bit"

"Sure"

They got back to the room and Stella asked if they'd have anything for her to get rid of her milk. She hated that sensation, she hated that her body was thinking about a child when that child was long gone. And her already shattered heart, shattered a bit more, she couldn't take it. Fortunately for her, they got her a pump, and she felt an instant relief.

"Is there anything specific you'd like to do with your milk" the nurse asked.

"I have no baby to feed, so"

"You can always donate, there's a lot of mother's out there who can't produce milk and lots of babies who need it" the nurse explained.

"Alright then i don't mind helping those little angels"

She tried to offer the nurse a smile and indeed she didn't mind being able to help a child. She just wish this could have been her kid. After the nurse got the milk, she went to leave it where it was needed and then came back to give Stella something so she could calm down and sleep a little. Kelly thanked her and watched Stella slowly fall asleep. To him it felt better to see her like that, he knew that way she would think less and that was better for her in this moment.
