Lust for Love

Chapter 42

By the time Nathan came out of the room with Gray, it was late in the evening. Sherry cried herself to sleep from exhaustion and stress.

Nathan carried her into her room so she could rest properly and kissed her forehead as he apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, I should've been with you."

He suggested Juvi to stay with her and rest for a bit too and closed the door to the room.

Tyler looked tired too but he insisted on staying behind. He probably was feeling discomfort from his slinged arm but the pain in his heart greater. Nash wanted to insist on making him rest but he could understand their sentiments. Instead he sat patiently on the armchair waiting for them to settle in and resume their questions.

"Good thing I cleared my schedule. I'm sure they have lots of questions." Nash thought to himself.

"I'm sorry," Nathan apologized to Nash but it seemed he was apologizing for a lot of different things as his eyes hung low.

"No, it's alright," Nash sniffled.

They probably had a lot of questions but Nathan resumed their conversation with what mattered to him most, "How-How was she do-during her pregnancy?"

He wondered if there were any complications during the pregnancy that might have caused her coma.

"She was approximately 5-6 weeks along when she found out she was pregnant with possibly fraternal twins. All her reports were normal and the babies were healthy, during both her checkups. Jacob also accompanied her."

Nathan clenched his fist but let Nash continue. Gray grit his teeth in frustration while Tyler stayed silent but he definitely was boiling inside.

"She cared for her babies very dearly. I was worried she might grow even more depressed or try abort them since, since it seemed unplanned," Nash nervously informed them cause he wasn't sure truly.

"A lot of the times Vivy seemed really stressed and anxious about her pregnancy, especially when I first diagnosed her. She looked really terrified by the idea. But seeing her care for them, and getting so depressed when she lost them, I often debated." Nash wondered as he collected his thoughts but was abruptly interrupted by Nathan who growled furiously.

"What do you mean unplanned?"

"I don't know. Seeing her in that state that night, one might have thought she was sexually assaulted or something. All those bite marks and hickeys and her walking around like that covered in blood. Jacob did you really force that pregnancy on her? Was that really your doing? All those bruises? From what Lucy told me he seemed mad about something and they did have sex that day but ....seriously.....I hoped you were better than your father!" Nash agonized internally as he recollected the memory of that day making both her brothers anxious and worried. But he tried his best to put their worries at ease.

"I'm not sure and I won't make excuses for Jacob or Vivy's actions. But I know he really did love her and the babies, even if it seemed twisted and obsessive. He took care of her until the very end and promised to stay by their side as long as he could."

Gray almost immediately yelled at him, "What do you mean by as long as he could? Did he plan to leave Vivy alone after burdening her with his kids?"

Nash looked down in shame and remorse as he informed them about Jacob's prevailing condition.

"HaH!" Nathan scoffed after hearing about Jacob's numbered days and held his head in anger and defeat.

"How dare he rests in peace leaving this mess behind!" Gray grit his teeth in anger.
