CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

*BELLA'S P. O. V*

"He still isn't answering... " said Darcy coming into my room and closing the door behind her. "He isn't answering any of my texts either... James and Jai tried too... no hope" said Daniel looking mildly concerned buht at the same time pissed off. In all honesty, I couldn't care less about Luke and who or what he was doing. I was more worried about my results. I stared off into the distance, And bit my nails anxiously. "Aww don't worry my love.. " began Darcy, sitting next to me and rubbing my shoulders. "I'm sure everything'S alright" she said. I stopped biting my nails and looked at her with my eyes wide. "EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT? SHE'S BEEN GONE FOR FUCKING HOURS DARCY!! WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS!? " I asked her, much louder than I originally planned to sound, buht what the hell? It's out there already. Darcy got up and shot me a dangerous look. I think she knew that I was feeling on edge because usually she'd retaliate; buht this time she kept quiet and just went to sit on Daniel's lap. We all sat in silence for a few minutes. The room was completely silent until we heard the door handle turning. For a moment, my heart started beating ERRATICALY AGAINST MY CHEST because I thought it might have been Dr. Dickson. When I saw who it was, my heart raced even faster before it dropped to the pit of my stomach. It was the Freemans. This is exactly what I needed right now! To make matters worse, Dr. Dickson walked in immediately after they did. I had so many thoughts running through my mind... What does this mean? Is this coincidence or do they know what my results are? Because I looked over at Sheila and she looked completely stressed out. But then again, who wouldn't be worried when your surrogate -your one and only chance of having a baby- is in the hospital, And us not even her due date? "Mr. And Mrs. Freeman... what are you guys doing here? " I said, trying my best not to sound panicked. "We got a call from your friend, " -I looked around and Darcy raised her hand- "we told us you were in the hospital and we came over as soon as we could" spoke Mr. Freeman. "Oh my gosh did I ruin you guys' date night? " I asked, now taking a look at them; they were both dressed up -Mr. Freeman in a suit, And Mrs. Freeman in a red dress- "We were at a wedding, buht that doesnt matter! " said Mr. Freeman. Now all eyes were on Dr. Dickson. "So doctor? What's the situation here? " Mrs. Freeman asked the question on everybody'S mind. She ruffled through the papers on her clipboard. The room fell silent. "Well after looking at these results... I can gladly say that she hasn't lost the baby! So just to answer the question you've all been dying to know the answer to... " she said. As soon as these words escaped her lips, a huge sigh of relief escaped from every person in the room'S mouth. I looked around the room, everybody had huge smiles on their face; everyone except Dr. Dickson, who was looking mildly concerned. My smile faded immediately, I knew that bad news was soon to follow. "Ahem! " she cleared her throat, "the baby is fine, buht I do have some concerns" she said seriously. Everybody looked at her. "What caused this... was the fact the baby was immensely distressed" SHE SAID. Darcy gasped. "What caused it? " asked Mrs. Freeman. "Normally his happens when the mother is overcome with emotions of stress or when the mother gets really worked up... this, as you can imagine, has a negative effect on the baby... you were incredibly lucky in this case; had you not come when you did, you might have had a far less positive outcome... " she said. When Dr. Dickson spoke these words, I looked over at Daniel with a look of utmost appreciation. Had it not been for him, I don't know what might have happened! It seems Daniel knew what the looks meant, because when I looked at him, he gave me a sort of side smirk. I zoned out completely, lost in my own thoughts. I was snapped out of these thoughts by the door being slammed. Dr Dickson had just left. "So? What do you say? " Mrs. Freeman asked. I looked at her confused. I looked around at everybody, hoping for some insight into what the hell was happening. "Dr. Dickson suggested that you find a place that would be less stressful for you, " spoke Darcy, who noticed that I wasn't listening. "And the Freemans offered for you to stay with then until your due date... " she spoke finished. This was so much information to absorb! My brain couldn't function, or even form thoughts. "So what do you think? We'd love to have you! " said Mrs. Freeman excitedly...
