Dangerous Love

32||Audrey

Xavier Romano

I quickly get dressed as Petra follows behind me, "Xavier, don't freak out."

"Freak out? My sister is having her first baby and she's experiencing it with blood, she's scared and she needs her family with her." I respond as I throw on a shirt and throw a pair of sweatpants at Petra, "Let's go now!"

Petra quickly gets the pair of sweatpants on and she rushes over to Kylie's room and tells her what's happening before asking her if she can watch Eliana for her.

After we got everything figured out, we hurriedly made our way to the hospital where Audrey was with my father, mother, and Brandon.

Audrey Romano

Everything felt like a blur, this was my first kid and I was bleeding. What if something is wrong with my baby? What can I do? My baby is supposed to be safe in my stomach.

"Someone please get her my fiancée is in labor!" Brandon yells as he places me in a wheelchair.

Doctors start rushing over to me and wheel me into a hallway as Brandon follows behind me. I'm not going to lie and say I was scared for my life. I didn't want anything bad to happen to my baby.

I was taken into an OBGYN room, and the doctors helped me onto the chair.

"What's going on with my baby? Why am I bleeding so much?" I panicked as I looked around the room in fear.

The doctors looked at the ultrasound photos as her eyes widened, "We need to get her into surgery now."

"What now?" I questioned as I looked at Brandon.

"Can someone please tell us what's going on?" Brandon asked, trying his best to stay calm but I could tell he was not having it.

"Your baby seems to be tangled up around the umbilical cord, so we need to prepare you for surgery and get the baby out." The doctor explained as she wheeled me into another room.

As doctors start preparing me for surgery, I am laying on a gurney holding onto Brandon's trembling hand. He looks at me with a small smile.

"Hey, it's going to be okay. We're going to meet our little blueberry, very soon." I assured him, that he seemed more scared than me, which was funny.

When I first met Brandon, he was working at this coffee shop. It was your cliche love at first sight type of moment for the both of us, but I knew I loved him from the first time I saw him.

He accepted the life that I was in even though it was dangerous, he still wanted to be a part of it. That's what made me fall more in love with him.

"You're right Aud, we get to meet her or him. I'm nervous but excited, we haven't even done the nursery yet." He tells me as he tightly grips my hand.

"That's fine, this baby will be fine without a nursery for the first week," I say as I place a kiss on his hand.

"I love you, Audrey." He whispers as he bends down and kisses me, "You are my person."

"Don't give me that Grey's anatomy shit," I told him as I rolled my eyes.

He laughs, I love it when he laughs at my jokes.

"Okay Ms. Romano, you ready?" The doctor asked me as she walked into the room.

I nodded my head as my grip tightened on Brandon's hand. The doctor looked up at Brandon before saying, "We can't allow others to be in the surgery room with us, please wait outside."

"But you guys are just doing a C-section." He says with a confused look on his face.

"Still, you need to wait out here. We will be done shortly." The doctor assures him as they start taking me into the room.

I look over at Brandon before mouthing the words 'I love you'

As we arrived at the hospital I rushed into the lobby and my eyes landed on Brandon who was sitting next to my mother and father.

"What happened? Is Audrey okay?" I panicked as I walked over to Brandon.

Brandon looks at me before standing up and nods his head, "She's fine she just went into surgery for a C-section."

"Why aren't you in there with her?" Petra asked.

Brandon shrugs his shoulders, "They said that no one can be in the surgery room with her."

"Everything is going to be okay." My mother reassures everyone as she walks over to us, "Me and Alessandro are going to get some balloons and gifts for the baby, we will be back."

I kissed my mother goodbye as they walked to the gift shop, I sat down next to Petra sat beside me. She grips my hand and lays her head on my shoulder.

"Audrey Romano?" One of the doctors called out, causing me to stand up.

"Yes, is she and the baby okay?" Brandon asked as he walked over to the doctor.

The doctor lets out a sigh, "You have a healthy baby girl."

Brandon's eyes went wide before he hesitated to ask, "What about my fiancée?"

The doctor looked at him for a moment, "We did everything we could, but when we began the procedure she started bleeding out. Our main priority then was to get the baby out as soon as possible."

"So you're telling me my fiancée is dead?" Brandon stated as tears began to well up in his eyes.

The doctor nods his head, "She lost too much blood, I am so sorry for your loss."

Everything seemed to freeze as if what I heard was a lie. My sister is dead, my youngest sister. I looked over at Petra who had her hand over her mouth, everyone in the room stood silent as we processed her death.

Suddenly, my mother and father showed up with a bunch of gifts and balloons. My mother looks at everyone then at Brandon who had tears streaming down his face.

"What happened? Is it Audrey?" fretted my mother as her gaze went to the doctor, "Someone tell me what happened to my daughter!"

"She's dead." Brandon sobbed as he ran a hand through his hair, "My fiancée is dead, and I am left alone with a baby."

"No!" screamed my mother as she dropped the gifts and fell to her knees while sobbing, "My baby! No!"

Everything fell silent besides my mother screaming for her child, how does one die from one simple procedure?

She was so excited to see her baby, yet her baby girl. Audrey always wanted a girl to be able to dress up and do nails with.

But that got taken away from her on December twenty-third.
