Sen Cal Kapimi: a different road to

A turn for the worst

A little bit of Serkan's POV at the beginning this time! It is a little bit shorter then usual, but enjoy!

I was waiting for Eda to show up at the restaurant, but she was late. Very late. I decided to go home, when I realized that she wasn't going to show up. When I got home, I immediately grabbed the left over whiskey and poured myself a glass. I hadn't touched this, since that night that Eda came to the house when I was drunk. I had just finished the first glass, when my phone started to ring. I looked at the screen and noticed it said Eda. I answered it and said: "Eda, I waited for..." but I didn't get to finish my sentence. "Are you an emergency contact for Eda Yildiz?" "Yes". "She's been admitted to the hospital. You should come as soon as you can". The moment the woman hung up the phone I ran to my car and sped to the hospital

Eda's POV:

I had woken up in the hospital, confused where I was. The nurse told me they had called Serkan and he was on his way to the hospital. The doctor told me they would come in when Serkan had arrived. I was gathered in my thoughts, stressing about the baby, when all of a sudden Serkan barged into the room. He immediately came over to the bed and grabbed my hand as I started crying. "S...Se...Ser...Serkan" I tried to say between cries. "Hey, it's okay" he says putting his hands on my face. "Everything is going to be okay" he says as he hugs me. "We don't know that yet". He pulls back. "What happened?" I sniff. "I was waiting for you at the restaurant and you didn't show up and I had these stomach pains and when I went to leave everything went dark". Serkan looked deep in thought for a few seconds, before something seemed to click. "You said you were waiting at the restaurant?" I nodded at him. "Yes, for an hour. You didn't show up" and my face fell immediately. "But Eda I was waiting for you at the restaurant. I waited for you for over an hour before I left". "Well me too. I waited for you for an hour at our Italian place". "Wait, Italian place? Eda, you texted me saying you wanted to meet me at our Japanese place". "No, I didn't. See". I showed him my phone. Serkan looked at it confused. He then showed me his phone. I look at him confused. "Who would do something like this then? Send us to different places". "I don't know". Before I could say anything else the doctor came in. "So Eda. What's going on". "I've been experiencing a lot of stomach pains again". "For how long?" "The whole day". Serkan looks at me surprised. "You said that it was nothing?" "I didn't want to worry you". Okay so the nurses have already done some tests, so let's see the baby now, shall we?" I looked at Serkan and grabbed his hand. "What if I had a miscarriage?" "Hey, don't think like that okay. Let's stay positive". When the sound of the baby's heartbeat fills the room, I finally feel like I'm able to breath. After a few minutes the doctor turns off the machine and turns towards us. "So, looking at your lab results, I can see your blood pressure is very high. As we have already discussed previously this put you at risk for pre-eclampsia". Serkan and I both nodded. "Now, it's no longer a risk, it's a fact. Eda, you have pre-eclampsia". Serkan and I look at each other worried. Serkan squeezes my hand. "So what does that mean?" "I'll give you some medication to lower your blood pressure, but the baby will most likely have to come early". A few tears drop from my face. "You'll be allowed to go home and stay there, but I want to see you more frequently and I also want you to take it easy. I don't want to have to put you on bedrest, because you have quite some time to go. Do you guys have any questions?" We both shake our heads. "Okay. Then I'll get the medicine for you and you guys can get out of here". As soon as the doctor leaves the room, I grab Serkan's hand and turn him towards me. "I'm so sorry Serkan" I say as I breakdown crying. "It's all my fault". "Hey. No it isn't" he says as he grabs my face in his hands. "You didn't know". "I know, but I should have. I'm his mother". "And I'm his father. This is just as much on you as it is on me". I look at him in shock. "You heard the doctor, this is all because of stress. Don't you think that I know that the reason you're so stressed is because of what my family did to you. What I did to you". He looks at me sadly. I put my hands over his, that are still on my face. "Serkan, I'm not resentful of you. Do I dislike your father for what he did? Yes. But I don't blame you for my parents' death". "You don't?" "No. I'm just upset with you, because you didn't tell me about it. Instead of telling me, you pushed me away". "I know, Eda. I regret that decision with every fiber of my being". We stare into each other's eyes for a moment. All of a sudden I gasp. Serkan looks at me in shock. "What is it? Is it the baby? Are you feeling pain again? Should I call for the doctor?" I just sit there in shock with a hand on my stomach. "Eda? Eda? Eda!" I finally look at him. "Are you okay?" A smile forms on my lips. "I'm perfect". I grab his hand and put it on my stomach, putting my own over his face. A look of wonder comes over his face. "Is that the...Is that the baby?" "Yes. He's kicking". We both smile at each other widely. We keep looking at each other like that and feeling the baby move beneath our hands, until the doctor comes back with the medicine. Afterwards, I get out of bed. I'm a little unsteady on my feet and I almost fall to the ground. Serkan immediately puts his arms around me, so I don't fall. "You okay?" "Yes. Just a little dizzy I guess". "I'll grab a wheel chair for you, then you can get changed". I nod and grab my clothes to get changed. I feel very tired and worn out and getting changed isn't very easy. Serkan comes back when I have you just finished. "Are you ready to go?" I nod and he helps me into the wheelchair. He pushes me towards the hallway and I can see the elevator coming closer. I had forgotten about that and Serkan apparently as well. He pushes the button and looks at me. He can see the worry on my face. "It's going to be alright, Eda". He pushes me inside the elevator and I can already feel myself getting a panic attack. The pain in my stomach returns and I immediately warn Serkan. He crouches down before me. "Hey, just breath with me. Just breath with me, baby". I try, but I can't seem to get out of my head and the pain is still there. Then Serkan just kisses me. I'm lost in the kiss as I seem to forget everything. His tongue grazes my lips, as he asks for entrance. I grant him it and I allow his tongue to slip inside me. We both wrestle for dominance and we are pulled out of our trance when we have arrived downstairs. Serkan takes me to the car, puts me inside and drives me home. He carries me up to the door and even all the way to my bedroom. He kisses my forehead and tells me sweet dreams. He walks over to the chair in the corner and sits down in it. Watching over me, protecting me. Protecting us. Our son and I couldn't wish for anything better.
