Sincerely, Yours

28 ~ rose

"No no no," Aria whimpers in my ear, "I'm sorry but oh my god." She tightens the grip on my shoulders. "What is it Aria?" Marco sounds more concerned than me, I thought she didn't want me to get married at the same time as her, "my water just broke I think, or no call 911." I begin getting more worried, "What is it Aria?" I ask, "Blood its blood, I'm only thirty-two weeks it's too early." Before I can pull out my phone Marco already called 911.

I stand up out of my seat and let Aria sit down, I walk up to Marco who looks distressed. I kiss him, "Of course, I will marry you, and spend my entire life with you, but no white dress or wedding on the beach." He pulls me back, connecting our lips again, "I love you but my best friend and niece are in mortal danger, so I have to ruin this moment, sorry." I whisper against his lips before turning around.

I grab Aria's hand while she takes deep breaths, "the ambulance is coming do you want me to call Elijah?" "No, we ended things, broke up, called it off." She begins screaming in pain, "oh my god just uhm squeeze my hand." I say while offering her my hand, she squeezed so hard it turned blue.

The paramedics come running over and lay her on the gurney, "can you call me when you get to the hospital I'm her emergency contact." The paramedic shakes his head before running off. "I hope they okay" I sigh before leaning against Marco's chest, "wanna go to the hospital Bambina?" He sounded concerned, "no but I have to, she's my person if I murdered someone Id call her to help me drag the body across the floor so I have to be there for her and she." I cut myself off, "what?" "she was there when you weren't." I sigh before walking away.

MARCO'S POV

She said yes, I thought she would say no because she's not a marriage girl and I would've been fine with that because all I want is to spend the rest of my life with her. I drive her to the hospital, "Do you want me to come in?" I ask, "please." She whimpers before getting out of the car.

I follow her out of the car and into the hospital, "What room is for Aria Wilson?" Riley asks, "Family relation?" The nurse asks, "I am her sister and this is her husband." "Okay, room 124." We begin walking over to the room until we find it, "Aria are you okay?" Riley asks concerned.

"she was born, and she's in the NICU they say she's doing well for her age and I called Chase, can you go look at her and take a picture?" Aria asks, "Of course, Marco stay here with her." Riley says before walking out of the room.

"So can I plan the wedding?" Aria asks trying to fill the silence, "Riley would love that but you know," she cuts me off, "No white dress, beach, or anything traditional." We both begin laughing, "She is anything but ordinary are you ready for that?" Aria asks, "She's the most extraordinary human being I've ever met and it only makes me love her more but it's not that, it's the little things she does that make me realize that we were meant to be, so you and Elijah are done?" I ask trying to gossip I was never any good at it.

"Yes, done in the end he didn't want a child, he wasn't ready but now that she's here I don't care, are you and Riley going to start a family soon?" "We are a family, but having kids I'm not sure she's ready for that." I frown at my words, "Don't try and protect her, just ask." Riley comes back into the room, "Are you guys talking about me?" She already knew the answer, "It doesn't matter can I see my baby girl?" Aria asks while sitting up. "She looks so much like you." Riley shows Aria her phone, and Aria's eyes fill with tears.

"You're kinda a doctor what's all the stuff on her?" Aria asks referring to the tubes and stickers on the baby, "She intubated that's the one in her throat because she is so young it's hard for her to breathe, the one on her back is for medicine to go through because her veins are so small and the stickers are to monitor her heartbeat and breathing, the tape on her eyes is because she's so premature they aren't fully developed." "God this is my fault right?" Aria asks while crying more aggressively. "No, Aria it's not do you have a name?" "Im waiting for Chase to confirm but Rose, Rose Lynn Wilson-Johnson."

Riley begins crying with her and then Chase walks in, "Are you okay, is she okay?" Riley responds to him by showing him the picture of the baby, "We'll leave you two alone." Riley smile's before walking out of the door and I follow her. "So Aria's going to plan the wedding, I don't suppose you want it in Italy?" I ask nervously, "No Italy wedding we are not re-living your first wedding." "Okay, what do you think about babies?" I ask taking Aria's advice, "Okay, babies I think that I don't want any yet, someday but I just not right now because it feels like I'm living Aria's life." I sigh at her  words before kissing her, "you are not living Aria's life, I brought a piece of land a couple of years ago and I'm getting blueprints so we can begin to build our house."

"A house, we are building a house?" "Yes a house for us and Bambina's when we have them." "Okay, that's yeah that's good." She says nervously, "Bambina calm down, it'll take a while to build we have time to adjust to this, but you should know I'm in it, with you." I say before placing a small kiss on her forehead. "Okay but I'm not going soft, I'm still the hard-ass who said this wouldn't turn into a love story, even though it has." I laugh at her words, "I know, you are still the hardass." I place another kiss on her forehead, "Okay we can go back in the room now." She says before walking back in the room.

RILEY'S POV

I walk into the room and see Alejandra, "Is she, is that, what is she doing here?" Im too stuned for words. "Yes she is here and shes here because she's our sister, I've been getting to know her for the last two months and you should to Riley, shes family." Chase says, "Family? You think shes family, okay, wow. Im going to ignore her and just talk to Aria." I say while walking past her as if she doesn't exist.

 "Aria you can plan the wedding but it has to be soon, like the next week or so soon and you know the rules, no white dresses." She cuts me off, "No white dresses, no beach wedding, no traditoanol things I got it, love you see you later and can you say bye to Rose for me." I reply by placing a kiss on her check. Before I walk out of the door, "I hate beach weddings to, I am family Riley whether you like it or not." Alejandra says while holding my arm, "Let go of me, I am not your family and you are not mine you do not know me and you wont get to know me." I say before walking out of the room.

"Bambina why don't you give her a chance?" Marco asks, I hit him on the arm. "Im your fiance be on my side." "I am on your side but shes your sister." "She is not my sister, we are going to see Rose." I say before I begin walking to the elevator, Marco chases after me. In the elevator is Lincolin, "Hello." Lincolin says trying to fill the silence, "Im marrying him, Marco." I say while pointing at him, the elevator doors open and Lincolin walks out and Maya walks in. "Hey, are you okay because you said your boyfriend was in Italy and it just didn't sound too good." I sigh deeply at her words, "This is the boyfriend from Italy I'm marrying him." I say nervously, "Oh are you going to the NICU?" "Yes my best friend had a baby, 32 weeks premie." I say while tapping my foot, "Oh my god I got paged 911 is it a girl, Rose?" She asks, my heart drops to the floor. "Yes what did the page say?" "Just some low blood pressure I'm sure shes fine."
