Chapter XII
"Miss Montgomery. Miss Montgomery can you hear me?"
Tara struggled against the restraints of the bed, attempting to get free.
"My baby. Is my baby okay?" She asks breathlessly, shaking her head back and forth as she panicked.
"Yes Miss Montgomery, your baby is just fine. Perfectly healthy, and so is Mr. Fleming. You just have some bruises and a fractured wrist. Your lucky to be alive, because the man in the 18-wheeler certainly isn't."
Tara stopped her struggled, stunned. They got hit by an 18-wheeler? How in the world did we survive? She asked herself.
"Once your feeling up to having visitors Mr. Fleming, your roommate and her boyfriend are here to see you." The nurse says.
Tara quickly nods,"Please, I want to see them."
The nurse nods and hands her a cup of water with the hospital ice in it,"Drink this please, you are a little dehydrated from the shock."
Tara nods and starts to sip the water as the nurse leaves. It was only a few minutes before the door flew open, startling her. Corie, Asher, and Daniel shuffled into the room and over to her bed side.
"Tara I'm so sorry. It came out of no where! Please forgive me." Asher says crouching by her bedside, clutching her hand.
She smiles,"Its okay, Asher, I'm not mad at you. Though I am relieved that you aren't, but shouldn't you have been hurt a little?"
An emotion flashes over his face so quickly, that Tara hardly caught it, but she did.
"Oh just luck I guess, even in wondering that." he says with a sigh and smile.
Asher plants a kiss on her hand and squeezes it lightly, smiling at her more,"Im really glad your okay."
Tara smiles back but doesn't respond as she realizes that Corie and Daniel are watching them both intensely.
"Sorry." Tara says with a blush,"How are you guys?"
"How am I? How am I? I get a call at exactly 9:30pm from Asher here saying you've been in a car crash, which had us both creaking the fudge out. So yeah I think I'm pretty good."
"I'm sorry." Tara says with a sad face.
"Tara your my best friend and it felt like my life flashed before my eyes; and I wasn't even the one in the wreck!"
Tara couldn't help but giggle at her best friends exasperated face.
"Not funny okay? I'm just glad you are alright though, and the baby of course. He's a tough one, Huh?"
"Um you don't know if it's a boy, Corie."
"No I'm pretty sure it's a boy." she says in a matter-a-fact tone.
"Oh really? How's that? What if it's a girl?"
"Well you don't have to worry about that, because the baby is a boy, no questions asked."
"You are an idiot, just wait till the ultra sound."
Corie rolls her eyes as if she was annoyed but smirked at Tara.
"So Daniel was Corie annoying the heck out of you while I was gone?"
"Oh yes. She was all like,'OMG that girls a slüt don't look at her.' and 'do I look better than her.' but in the end I had to endure it." Daniel hit a really high girl voice as he mimicked Corie.
"I don't talk like that you dumb Sh!t. Nice knowing that though, you can sleep on the couch, better yet sleep in your car!"
Daniel's eyes got huge,"What? No, baby I was just kidding, trying to make her laugh. You don't talk like that, you talk like an angel! I didn't mean to upset you!"
Tara laughed as she saw Daniel's bottom lip tremble and his eyes go wide like a puppy dog's. It was a site really seeing a 5'5 girl make a 6'3 guy almost cry.
Corie huffs and unfolds her arms, grabbing his hand," Fine you're off the hook, just because she is sick though."
"Hey I'm not sick, I'm just bent out of shape, no biggy."
As they babbled back and forth, it didn't go unnoticed to Tara that Asher had not let go of her hand. He continued to kiss it and stroke it softly. It was relaxing her and she almost fell asleep as she became very drowsy.
Corie and Daniel soon left after they chatted and they obviously saw that the couple wanted a little alone time.
"I'm so sorry. I don't think you understand how sorry I am. I almost lost you and the baby, all because I couldn't keep my damn eyes on the road."
"Don't beat yourself up about, I was more to blame than anybody, distracting you and all."
"Yeah I guess so, considering I couldn't take my eyes off you and your beautiful self." he says with a playful smirk.
Tara rolls her eyes,"Flirting ends no where with you Huh?"
"Not when I really mean it."
Tara laughs at Asher, making him smile as her face lit up. To him she was beautiful, an angel. She was everything he had ever wanted and dreamed of, and the baby, he didn't mind at all. In fact he loved it like it was his and it was just their first date. Was it possible to fall in love so quickly?
"How's your car?" Tara asks him sheepishly.
"Totaled." he says with out a care in the world, he would wreck a hundred cars as long as she was okay.
"I'm s-"
"No, don't be. It's fine, wasn't my type anyway. I'm just glad you are alright. That's all that matters, okay? Now was you have to do is get a good night's sleep so that they can discharge you in the morning."
"Okay, good, cause this bed is really crappy."
Asher chuckles and leans forward to kiss her forehead, which made her sigh in happiness. As Asher stood up to leave, he waved good-bye before closing the door. Tara then feel asleep.
