I'm Yours (Sequel to "You're mine")

Chapter 65: Horrible nightmare

Leah's POV

Since the miscarriage of our first child, T had been in the hospital. She had been resting all day and night. She seemed to be doing much better.

Because she was in the hospital, a lot of responsibilities fell onto my shoulders. I had to inform her work that she wasn't going to be at work for a while. I can't stretch enough how nervous I was to make that phone call. And, when the principal heard me, he even recognized me. I simply said T wasn't going to be at work for a while due to personal problems and ended the call. Looking back at it now, I was a bit rude... I hope I didn't cause problems for T...

I also informed my school that I'd be absent for a while because of personal problems. Usually, people don't ask a lot of questions when you specify the reason as that. I was lucky my school understood.

I also informed T's parents, my mom, and T's friends. I told them not to come by because T needed to rest and relax. And I also didn't want to explain to all of them that we lost another child...

"That's going to be delicious," T said as I handed her her favorite cookies. She was crazy about chocolate chip cookies. She took a bite. "This is great! Much better than the food I get here."

I chuckled. "I don't think this would be considered good and healthy food, baby."

She shrugged. "I don't care."

I smiled as I saw her enjoy something. I wanted her to be happy, I wanted her to relax. Since we knew we lost yet another child, she hadn't cried. She hadn't talked about it either. It's almost as if nothing happened... I should be worried about it but, right now, I wanted to focus on what mattered now: T and our child.

She finished her cookie and burped. "That was great," She then looked at me. "Can you get more?"

"More?"

She nodded, smiling at the same time.

I sighed a bit but nodded. "I'll be right back."

"Thank you, baby."

I got up and took my wallet. I then left the room and went to the elevator. I waited for it to come before going downstairs. I walked to the big entrance area of the hospital, where all the stores were located. I went to a small store and got more cookies for her. As I was waiting in line to pay, I saw a plushie of a dog. I smiled at it and took it before paying for everything.

I made my way back to the elevator. As I was going up with the elevator, I looked at the plushie. T was going to love this. She loved dogs. This was going to cheer her up, I knew so!

I reached her room and saw that her bed was gone... Immediately, I felt my heart sink. "T?" Even though I could see she wasn't in the room, I entered the room anyway. "T?"

"Mrs. Jacobs?"

I turned around and saw a nurse at the door. "Yes?"

She walked to me. "Your wife had a sharp pain again, we checked the bed and noticed blood. We took her for tests."

My heart sank more. Why? Why more bad news? When was the misery over? I opened my mouth, to say something, but then I realized I didn't know what I should say.

"You can wait here," She suddenly said. "When we're done, we'll bring her back here."

I slowly nodded.

She then left.

I let out a deep breath and went to sit down on a chair. I looked around the room, trying to keep myself busy. I was just confused. How could things escalate so quickly? Just 15 minutes ago, everything was alright. She was enjoying a cookie... How did it go wrong from there? I never should've left her...

After 25 minutes, the same nurse appeared. This time, she seemed in a rush. "Mrs.Jacobs?"

I looked up. "Is there news?" I got up then, as I felt like that was the right thing to do.

She paused a bit before looking at me. "I'm so sorry, Mrs.Jacobs," She paused yet again. "The second child passed away."

I sighed and closed my eyes. Why did this have to happen? Again... Why?

"We suspected something bad might have happened when we saw your wife had lost blood," She said to which I nodded. "The test show both children have passed away."

I looked away, at nothing in particular. All I could think was how I would possibly tell T this... Again...

"The tests showed a much bigger problem," She said, gaining my attention immediately. "Your wife's uterus has been damaged quite a bit. We had no choice but to perform surgery to get the twins and the uterus out."

When she said that, I dropped myself back onto that chair. "You mean..." I paused, I was shocked. "My wife won't have a uterus anymore?"

She shook her head.

"She can't get pregnant anymore?"

She once again shook her head. "We think the previous miscarriages may have left scars and scar tissue which resulted in the uterus being insufficiently strong for this huge pregnancy."

I buried my face in my hands. This was just too much to handle. I feared for the worst with this pregnancy, but I never imagined this scenario. What on Earth do I say to T? How do I say this to her? She will be broken...

"We're performing the surgery as we speak."

I looked back up at her. "Shouldn't I have given my permission?"

She nodded. "That's how it usually goes, but we had no time. Your wife was bleeding out."

I sighed and looked away. I shook my head. I just couldn't believe this.

"When the surgery is done, we'll bring her back here. She will have to stay here for a couple of days to make sure she's really better."

I nodded, even though I wasn't really listening to her anymore. My thoughts were with T.

"I'll come back when your wife is here, ma'am." She said, probably noticing I wasn't really paying attention. She then left.

I let out a deep breath. I looked around before shaking my head again. I buried my face in my hands and started crying. I was so scared to face T. Part of me wished I would wake up from this horrible nightmare...
