Accidentally In Love (Joe Burrow)

S3: Chapter 22 - Dreams

(joes pov)

i had just made it to the hospital, i locked my car up and ran inside.

"how can i help you?" - front desk

"what room is y/n burrow in? she's in the icu.."
- joe

the guy pulled something up on his computer before ripping a visitors sticker off.

"room number 599, what's your relation to the patient?" - front desk

"husband, i'm her husband" - joe

"here you go" - front desk handed joe his sticker

i put on my chest before making my way over to the elevator.

i was so so scared, but i knew i had to put a brave face on for y/n's mom.

596, 597, 598... and i saw a woman standing in the hallway talking to a doctor.

by the time i made it to where they were, the had doctor walked away and the woman turned around. it was y/n's mom.

"joe.." - your mom tried to smile

"hey.." - joe

"she's doing better, her vitals are stable now so she should be okay. her right foot is broken, her left knee is dislocated, she has two broken ribs, and has a concussion." - your mom

"oh my god.." - joe began to tear up

"she's still unconscious but we can go in and sit, if you want.." - your mom

"i- uh, yeah" - joe

she led the way and i followed behind, shutting the door behind me.

when i first looked at y/n, my heart shattered. she was hooked up to a bunch of machines and she just looked so fragile.

"oh uhm they gave me these.." - your mom handed joe your engagement ring and wedding band

i closed my eyes for a second, not only trying to stop the tears from falling onto my cheeks, but also hoping this was just a nightmare and that id just wake up next to y/n.. and everything would be okay.

"you okay?" - your mom

i just looked at her, i didn't want to lie and say yes, but i also didn't want to say no and make her more upset.

"yeah.. i'm okay" - joe sniffled

"sweetheart, you can say you're not" - your mom

"i'm not okay" - joe started crying

"aww come here" - your mom pulled joe into a hug

even though i was significantly taller then her she still reached up, holding the back of my head to comfort me.

"she's gonna be okay joe, i promise" - your mom

as we were still embracing, a doctor walked in.

"uhm sorry to interrupt but.. you're the patients husband correct?" - doctor

"yes" - joe

"can i talk to you in the hallway.. privately"
- doctor

"of course" - joe

y/n's mom pat my back before i walked outside with the doctor.

"is everything okay?" - joe

"i just wanted to say that i'm sorry... you're wife lost the baby. she miscarried after the wreck"
- doctor

"baby?... i- she was pregnant? neither of us knew that.." - joe stammered

"oh my gosh.. i'm so sorry you had to find out like this." - doctor
