Unexpected Love

Chapter 28

Raye (Nya) POV

My leg bounced up and down as I sat and waited for the private nurse to update me about Layla. While I sat there all I could think about was how everything went down.

A shot went off and all I saw was Layla's face twist in pain. But before I could fully turn around another one went off causing me to cover Layla's head. I turned facing my best friend watching as he lowered his gun, my eyes soon traveled to a man in black laying on the floor as blood rushed out his head.

My attention was soon back on Layla, watching as the love of my life eyes flutter. I looked down seeing her hands on her stomach applying as much pressure as she could. "You're going to be okay baby" I spoke softly looking into my pale lover eyes. "MARCUS" I yelled out in fear watching as she went in out.

Everything felt as if it was moving in slow motion. Feeling this horrible pain in my chest as if I couldn't breath. Marcus attempted to move me but something in me didn't.

"Nya I need you to move call everyone I'll take her there" Marcus touched my shoulders pushing me back. I watched as he picked Layla up rushing out of the door.

I felt a hand touch my shoulder breaking me out of my daze. I shot up making eye contact with the nurse. "She's alive and she's fine" I breathe out in release. I leave the living room running up to the room Layla is in. I was met with the love of my life surrounded by machines. Walking towards her all I could feel was guilt. I brought her into this due to my selfish reasons and now here she is.

I leaned over kissing the side of her head. "I'm so sorry baby" I whisper smoothing her hair down. "I'm so sorry I let this happen to you, I should've been more careful and I wasn't" I chocked out trying to fight the tears. I began to cry falling onto my knees. Thinking about how I could've lost the only good thing in my life. I love Layla and Sage with my whole soul, so seeing and hearing things happening to them makes me feel lost in a way.

Layla grunted and I stood up "don't move" I laid her back down "Sage" she chocked out "she's fine baby, I called Kia and told her to get Sage when I heard about everything" she closed her eyes in relief. I sat down on the chair by the bed holding onto her hands. "It's not your fault, my sister was just very jealous and so was Elliott" she touched my face causing me to make eye contact with her. "I'm okay, we're okay...alright?" nodding my head yes I still held eye contact with her. Once again getting lost in her beautiful brown eyes. The eyes that captured my attention the first time I saw her.

"I love you"

Layla stayed silent with a shocked look on her face. "It's okay if you don't feel the same way, I just wanted you to know that I love you with all my heart and soul" she began to smile caressing my face softly "I love you more". Damn I could hear her say that everyday. I got up and placed my lips on her forehead letting them linger there for a while. Lifting her head up Layla placed a kiss on my mouth. I joined her lips with mine once again loving the feeling I get every time we kiss.

"While this is a cute moment I have some information I need to give out". I pulled away from Layla watching her blush. Turing my attention to the nurse I waited to hear what she had to say.  "While you did bleed out a lot during surgery we were able to fight it and fix it" Layla shifted now having this sad and worried expression almost as if she knew what was about to be said. "But I'm sorry to say that you did lose the baby".  I looked down at Layla confused. Baby? I didn't know about any baby. But I pushed that thought aside watching her break down.

"Thank you" I attempted to smile at the nurse before I held Layla in my arms. She cried out in pain gripping onto my shirt every time she screamed out in pain. "Shh it's okay baby" hearing her cry caused this feeling of hurt inside of me. I never want to see if her cry let alone hear her cry. "I'm sorry" I shook my head not wanting her to apologize "you have nothing to be sorry of" I pulled back hold her face in my hands. "Do you hear me you have nothing to be sorry of. All though I would've appreciated it if you told me about the baby, you still have nothing to be sorry of."

"I wasn't sure if you would be happy about it so I didn't tell you" I kissed her head "why wouldn't I be happy my love?" She shrugged her shoulders placing her face in the crook of my neck. I pulled back wanting to see her face "that only meant more happiness and love Layla. I would never be upset about stuff like that...understand?" She nodded her head kissing me quickly before cuddling into me. I sighed in content closing my eyes.

I don't know what I would do if I lost Layla. She brought me happiness and love she filled the hole of emptinesses I once had in me. Blessing me with our beautiful baby girl. I looked down at Layla's sleeping body. I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her and I plan on doing just that. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I got up slowly, walking to the door to open it. Kia stood there with Marcus beside her as he held my baby in his arms. Reaching for Sage I held her in my arms feeling complete.

"How is she?" Kia asked. I debated on telling her what happened but decided not to and only giving her a simple answer "she's fine, just has a lot of healing to do" they walked into the room as I closed the door behind us. I walked over to Layla waking her up to see Sage. "Baby" I spoke softly "someone's here to see you". She opened her eyes and they lit up and she looked at Sage. "Hi mommy baby" she gave Sage an Eskimo kiss. "Hey babes" Kia walked to Layla giving her a side hug. "I missed you so much" Kia whispered. Layla smiled "I missed you too" I got up moving next to Marcus. "Okay well we are going to let you guys catch up, baby I love you and I'll be back". Marcus closed the door behind us and all I felt was his eyes on me as we went down the stairs. "What?" I questioned sitting on the couch. "Love?" He sat across from me. Nodding my head I spoke "yeah...I love her" he stayed quiet looking at me with this proud look on his face "I'm happy for you man...I really am". "Thanks man" I wiped my eyes as I felt the tears arrive. This is the most I've cried since I don't even know.
