Maybe This Time

Chapter 23

Vicky's POV

She didn't come home. I've been staying here in the living room waiting for her. She just said shes going to babysit but shes still there.

I know she's with her but it hurts. What if they fall in love again? She's going to leave me, she's going to choose her and her child.

I know I don't have a right to demand in terms of her kid. It's her child after all.

"Can you do DNA testing on these two patients? ASAP. I need the result after two days" I said to the nurse.

Im about to call Y/N from the ward when I saw her and June talking. "how's your feeling man? I mean you've been the doctor of your ex's kid." June said.

"Honestly, I don't feel any hatred towards the child. I don't know, maybe im asking for a kid for so many years. Then I feel something fascinating about that kid that makes me want to know her more."

"You have a bad baby fever" June playfully said making Y/N laugh. "That's why I'm in Peds"

I didn't think that much until she confirm to me that Scarlett is her ex. Her presence is with me but when she's thinking and looking at the void, I know she's thinking about her.

It's painful to see her still in love with the person who broke her heart. That I want to demand that I'm here, im not like the rest that people left her. I will never do that yet she's still with her. She's going to choose her over me. I'm not into sharing but if that's the case just to see and feel her with me then I let my ethics down just to be with her.

Our heart is too stubborn to listen. The heart only hears its beating and not the brain's opinion.

I heard the door crack, I immediately stand up. Opening the door hoping she's back to me.

"Who are you?" I asked looking at the young lady who look like Y/N.

"I'm the one who should ask that, why are you in my sister's house?"

"Sister?"

"I'm Sarah, Y/N's sister. Who are you?"

She mention her name and told me she's going to introduce me to them, but it's been a month of dating and I didn't know any of the important people in her life.

"I'm Vicky" I introduce myself. She nods and goes inside the house.

"How long have you and my sister been dating?" She asked, taking a sit on the couch across from me.

"A month now"

"Oh, since she got here you've been dating. I see. Where is she?" She asked crossing her legs and looking at me for the answer.

"She's-"

"She's with her ex?" She's said finishing my sentence. I nod and look down.

"If I were you, Vicky. You should stop loving my sister. She can't reciprocate the love you gave to her knowing she's there with her ex."

"I know. It's okay. I already know she can't love me but im willing to risk. Maybe if I give her the love she didn't give, she's going to choose me."

"That's stupid" she sarcastically said and chuckled.

"I'm stupid and I don't care"

"I'm saving you from losing yourself. I already told you. If she can reciprocate the love, shes here with you and talking to me but shes not. You can't love someone when they are not finished loving their past."
