Before you start reading, I just want to let you know that this is a subject VERY close to my heart. Anyway enjoy.
The sound of a clock reverberated in my ear drums.
Tick-Tock
I sat in the greyish white corridor outside the ward.
Tick-Tock
The dull strip lights casing; their depressing glow.
Tick-Tock
Over two hours. No one came out to tell me how Phil was.
Tick-Tock
I ran my hands shakily though my now tangled hair, my heart pounding against my ribs
Tick-Tock
My phone vibrated in my pocket; however I didn't bother to look.
Tick-Tock
The sound of a door swinging open caught my attention, as I watched; a nurse came out of the room, looking down a clip board. I stoop abruptly to get her attention. "Excuse me! Do you know what's going on?!" my voice breaking "Are you here for Phil Lester?" She asked. I nodded.
"I'm afraid it's not the best of news" My heart plummeted. "What happened?" I asked. "Due to Complications, he went into premature labour. Phil is perfectly ok and is recovering now, however the baby, being 3 months early, is in an unstable state. She is in critical care now." My eye pricked with tears. "We are doing all we can" She rested her hand on my shoulder for a moment before walking past. "C…can I see him?" I asked, the tears threatening to spill over. "Yes, you may, however be careful" she smiled at me sympathetically for a second, and then turned away. Her shoes tap tap tapping along the cold floor.
"Thanks" I called to her before rushing down the corridor to the room Phil was in. I stopped He was lying hooked up to a drip. He looked pale and weak lying on the hospital bed. Seeing him lying there broke my heart. The sound of the heart monitor echoed in the tense atmosphere that hung in the room. I shuffled over to the chair next to the tall bed.
His eyes fluttered open as I took his clammy hand in mine. "Where is she?" he asked me, exhausted. "They're looking after her now." I whispered, tears running down my cheeks. He tried to sit up but winced, I quickly pushed him back down.
"She was so tiny." He murmured after a long silence. I looked up into his blue eyes. They were filled with sadness. "I want to see her." He said. "I don't think you can right now hun." I sighed leaning over to kiss his chapped lips.
Please Don't hate me for writing this! It will get better from here…or will it? I'll get the next chapter up, as soon as I can.
