Love begins with you (Mpreg)

Dealing with reality

Ae's POV:

I held my breath as I sat on the chair beside the bed where my baby was lying still sound asleep. Since doctor has said that he would wake up anytime soon, I didn't dare to go anywhere. For me, what was more important was seeing him conscious and talking to me. I was still concerned when the doctor told me that he was injured badly. I can't even imagine the pain he would have felt at that moment and how he would have dealt with it. Partly, I felt guilty for having let him be alone. Even after trying so much, I was still not able to protect him.

As I waited beside him watching his face, I saw his eyes twitch and his facial muscles moved. It was the sign that he was coming back to his senses and I mentally prepared myself for the upcoming situation. I watched as he scrunched his nose a bit and then slowly opened his eyes. I let him take his time to get to the normal state.

He looked around before finally turning his head in my direction. "Hey... you are awake..." I said in a soft tone while gently running my fingers through his hairs. He smiled before asking, "Where am I?" "In the hospital... Doctor had examined you and you are completely fine. Someone informed our parents too so they are here to see you." I said.

Right now, I wanted to divert his mind and attention to others so that he wouldn't inquire about the baby. "Oh... I am sorry..." he said. His words made my heart clench and I wanted to hold him close and let him cry. I am sorry love... It's not your fault...

"Shhh... It's not your mistake... I'll call them so they can talk to you." I said while getting up from the chair and rushing towards the door. I was afraid that he might ask me another question and I would give away everything. There was no way that I could lie to him.

I opened the door and gestured our parents that he was awake. They all put on a bright smile as they walked into the room pretending that nothing has happened and everything was fine. I let them take care of the situation as I walked out of the room to talk to Tin who was busy on call. Seeing me approach, he disconnected the call and slid the cellphone back into his pocket.

"Ae... something is suspicious. I had asked Can to inquire about the incident at your apartment complex. The guard who found Pete, immediately called the emergency service. He then went to check on the footage of what might have probably happened but to his surprise, there was no footage of the said time. Someone deleted it. Also, the guard informed that just before the accident there was another issue as someone tried to sneak into an apartment. There was lot of chaos and he had to rush to check what was happening. And the other guard on duty had to return back home because of some family emergency. Looks like someone had planned all this. This is not an accident but it's planned." Tin informed.

"Then we should register a complain." I stated. "Can already did. When he found out about the incident, he straightaway registered the complaint. But the problem is, the officer wants to talk to Pete but in current situation, we can't let them talk to him. Pete is still in critical condition and we can't risk telling him anything right now." Tin said.

"Yeah... I know... We need to be patient till doctor thinks that it is alright to inform him about the miscarriage. But right now, for me, the highest priority is his recovery." I said. "I know... And I can understand. Let's see what we can do. I will go and talk to officers and inform them about the situation. You can stay here and look after Pete." Tin said as he prepared to leave.

"You don't want to meet him?" I asked. "I want to... But he will be able to see it clearly on my face and I don't want to give it away. I need time because this is also hurting me very much. I consider him as my brother rather than a bestie and this is the biggest blow on my heart. Not even in my wildest imagination did I think that something like this would ever occur. He was so happy when he found out that he was having a baby. I am worried what is going to happen when he comes to know the truth." Tin replied.
