Chapter 10 " A wife's confession "

"Hey... baby... I bring fresh flowers for you... see, it's one of your favorites," Jaime said to her wife, taking a seat and taking a glance with those monitoring machines.

"Baby, please come back. I started missing you here. It's been more than a month, and I won't be tired of waiting for you. Here, just come back. Please." whispering her ears with teary eyes, she can't help but feel overwhelmed by her emotions.

A knock snapped Jaime back to reality. The door opens slowly, and Yansen appears with two paper bags in both of her hands. Jaime wiped her tears, hiding from Yansen, wearing a smile for her, and approaching and hugging her.

"Hi cousin, I brought some fruits for you, some little goodies, anything you like, my dearest Jaime, and I want to offer some help staying here with.. O—I mean, Tara, and you can rest; it's been a while since you've been here," she said, placing those gifts on the table.

"Jaime, it seemed you made this place like a home. I think you need a break. I'll make hotel reservations for you if it's just okay. You need a break really; it's been more than a month since the incident happened, and I care," Yansen explained while preparing to serve the food on the table.

"Are you sure, Yansen?" she replied.

"Of course, my dearest cousin, it's tough, you know, and your so strong...I can see it and feel it too," she complimented.

"Walter offered me a week ago too; book a hotel and have some rest," Jaime said.

"Hey, it's okay. I know how you feel; it's been awhile now." encouraging her, looking at Jaime, but she was staring at Tara, not paying much attention to her.

"Anyway, can I use your bathroom? God, this place's like a business suite; minus those machines, it's almost a Deluxe suite," she murmured, going to the bathroom location.

Jaime started to take some apples, still looking at Tara's in the hospital bed sleeping—the same scene as she looks as days go by. She knows almost the routine those nurses in and out doing their jobs taking care of a coma patient. Doctors doing some rounds sometimes those emergency alarms when go off it'll create chaos and panic outside doors.

She immediately looks outside; it looks like they are reviving the other patient in the next room by the looks on those machines they bring with. Last week they received the devastating news that the other patient involved in the incident had already died. A cardiac arrest, and it didn't make it anymore. The other patients were sent home yesterday. Jaime felt left behind, trying to encourage herself after seeing the others hoping they too could go home. A single tear in Tara's eyes dropped a few weeks ago, a tiny hope that she held onto. Jaime believes that Tara really does care for her, and she doesn't like to make her worry every single day.

"Oh my god! What the f*ck Jaime is pregnant!? " Yansen said, covering her mouth silently and holding those edges of the bathroom sink like something cold was being poured over her head while looking at the test kit result.

"F*ck wait, she made a pregnancy test and she left it here...? meaning she didn't see these results," she whispered, covering her mouth, discovering her cousin is pregnant.

Yansen immediately remembers Tara Freezing her eggs when they were together, and she wanted kids with her. Yansen quickly kept the test in her secret pocket on her dress and went back to Jaime, wearing a nonchalant expression of her to mask and hide what she knows.

"The reservation is made, Jaime," she said on her entrance.

"Reservations...?" she replied, confused.

"I made hotel reservations plus, a foot spa just right there," she pointed outside the window.

"And I think you really need a good massage after you've been through," she added, which sounded more excited for her.

"It sounds so relaxing, Yansen, thank you," she said without looking at her.

"Don't worry, I'll take care and watch Tara for you in three days. Is that okay with you?" she sounded very convincing.

"And...after that, she's all yours again. Have a break. It's been more than a month, Jaime," Yansen said, encouraging her cousin even if they are not as close as Pam, Yansen's younger sister.

" Otara ... hi ... it's me Yansen.. Your wife funny huh... but Jaime don't have any slightest idea between us, and congratulations by the way because she is pregnant of your baby. My dearest Otara thing that I didn't agree with you having a child in the first place. I learn my lesson, I think a child will solidify and have a bond between couple and their relationships but what else I can do? I don't like kids.. i don't want to bare a child for you..yet, you still respect that with child or no child your cool with it... and I am so guilty about it. Now, Jaime is pregnant and I'm so sorry I didn't tell her the result kit she uses in the bathroom I saw it. She place it on the sink counter she seemed impatient to wait, she left it in there and she didn't even remember to check. Jaime don't have any idea about the result she didn't even bother at all" Yansen said she end up kissing Tara on her forehead.

"Here, I want you to have it," she said, placing the test kit results on her left hand.

"I'm so sorry... Otara if I cheated it's just I don't know what I want, whom I wanted to be with.. when I'm with the man all I think is you.. but when I'm with you all I think is that man. Its been with several months going back and forth before you finds out god.. I can't even imagine myself those days and right now all I felt is regret Tara. I cannot believe you marry my cousin, even if you use a fake papers presented on her..its just a small world as old sayings.. but despite all of those consequences you made I know you loved her I can see it in youre eyes... the way you looked at her that I didn't witness once before when we were together... " Yansen explaining herself holding Tara's left arm looking the test kit she placed taking glimpsed of monitoring machines are connected starting acting strange.

Watching the monitor screen beeping fast, it races several. Tara's responding to her through those vital signs of hers.

" listen...Otara Honey.. I still wanted to call you like that. I don't have anybody right now everywhere I go, I sees you all the pain I caused you... I'm here in your town, reasons I wanted to see you with my cousin. Wanting to convinced myself that your happy and good in the arms of my cousin Jaime. Your so different from the person I knew before.

My cousin Jaime loves you dearly so do I...except my heart sorrounded by pain and regret ever since. I don't have any serious relationship after we get decided to separate. I've been with a man and guess what I got pregnant. It's very weird seemed the baby doesn't want me, I had miscarriage and he left. I guess the baby felt I don't like kids and I will not be a good mom, I don't believe in karma but I am convinced it's real. I got pregnant with the man I had a relationship with when we still together. Everytime you make love to me I refused, all I see is him like I said when I'm with him all I sees is you... "

Yansen's confessions made the machines act weird; the alarms went off, and a couple of doctors and nurses rushed towards the room, reviving her, doing their jobs to make her stay alive, and making her back in less than a minute. The doctor noticed some improvements in her vital signs after she was revived.
