Paradise Bound

Chapter 50

I spend the ride to the hospital fearing the worst. I have tried ringing Isaac's phone about ten times but each time it just goes straight to voicemail.

We finally reach the hospital and Will quickly comes around to help me out of the car. He hurries us both into the emergency room.

After he explains what happened I'm taken straight away to a room and Will helps me get up on the bed. My whole body is trembling with the nervousness I feel.

Will is standing bedside me at the top of the bed. He takes my hand in his and sits on the side of the bed.

"Hey Tessa darling, it's going to be okay..."

"Will what if something is wrong with the baby?"

"Please don't be thinking like that. It's going to be okay."

"Will you try to get a hold of Isaac again..... I don't understand what's going on?"

"Sure, I'll be back in a minute."

Will leaves the room to call Isaac again. I anxiously away for a doctor or someone to do a scan to make sure everything's okay with the baby.

After a couple of minutes Will enters the room again.

"So? Any luck?"

"Yep, I eventually got him, he's on his way."

The sonographer comes into the room and starts to do a scan. Will keeps a firm hold on my hand, brushing his thumb softly over my knuckles.

I almost burst into tears of joy when I hear the strong, fast heartbeat. I'm told everything looks fine but they will keep me in overnight for observation.

When the doctor leaves the room Will reaches his hand up to wipe away the tears that have escaped my eyes.

"See Tessa, I told you. Us Jones' are made of strong stuff, that baby is a little fighter."

"Oh Will, I was so scared."

"Awh Tessa, I know. Come here."

Will pulls me into his arms. His hands slowly rubs my back as he tries to comfort me.

"I swear to god if I ever get my hands on that poisonous bitch...."

I move back to look at Will.

"She said she had to talk to Isaac about their baby.... But I don't understand, she had an abortion.... What could she have possibly needed to talk about?"

"She was more than likely trying one last desperate attempt to get Isaac back... But Tessa, trust me you have nothing to worry about. Isaac is head over heels in love with you."

"Then why did he disappear on me like that?"

Will is just about to answer when the door opens. Our heads turn around and my eyes find a tired and worn out looking Isaac staring back at us.

"Tessa?"

"You took your time.... You sure as hell better have a good excuse for  your little disappearing act."

"Will, not now!"

"Are you kidding me? Tessa could have lost the baby.... Your psycho ex-fiancé pushed her down some steps!"

"Will.... It's okay. Calm down."

Isaac looks in complete shock as he stares at me and then to my bump.

"The baby? Is....."

"Our baby is fine. I had a scan. I'm just waiting for someone to examine my ankle, it's probably only a sprain or something."
