Escape To Paradise | l.h.

{Wylie}

"You were in a wreck." Liz chocked with tears streaking down her pink face.
"Is the car okay?"
"Let's just say you came out better then the car." She forces a small laugh trying to ease the gloomy mood in the hospital. "But the important thing is, is that you're alright." She smiles softly.
I lay there and smile not being able to form words. I mean, what else would I ask or say? I was okay. I hurt like hell and my foot and shoulder felt like it was on fire but I was okay. Liz helped me up when I woke up and my face looked terrible. I had bruises all over my face and stitches in my forehead from banging my head against the steering wheel. The seat belt made my chest, neck and stomach almost black from the horrible bruises. Luckily, I'm alive. I got off easy compared to what could have happened. No broken bones. Just banged up pretty bad.
"You get some sleep honey." She grabs my hand squeezing it and bends over the bed kissing my forehead softly.
"Liz?" I question before she can get out of the room.
"Yes dear?"
"Don't call Luke. Don't tell him please." I beg tears threatening to spill from my tired eyes.
"Goodnight." She smiles flipping off the light and cracking the door behind her.
"Mrs. Hemmings?" I hear a man say her name behind the door.
"Yes?"
"I've gotten her tests in and results if you'd like to hear them." He says softly so I listen closely.
"I'd like to." She says with worry laced in her voice.
"Well." He begins. "Her blood pressure is a little high but if should go down in a bit. Her foot is just sprained like I said before and we've ordered a brace for her. And there's one more thing."
"What is it?" She asks eagerly.
"Were you aware she was a month and a half pregnant?"
Those words bring on the tears. The way he said wasn't in the least bit hopeful. My chest tightens and I feel like I'm about to pass out. I didn't even know. Maybe that would explain why I had gotten sick earlier but I figured that was from lack of sleep. I almost want to scream. To see if the baby is okay but I don't.
"Pregnant?" She says in a shocked tone.
"Yes. When she got in she was unconscious. We did a full body examination and part of the examination is an ultrasound just to make sure." He says quietly.
"Is the baby okay? Please tell me it is." Liz's voice cracks and I know she's on the brink of tears again.
"We did all we could to get the baby's heart to keep beating but.." He pauses. "The baby couldn't hold on. I'm sorry."
"Fuck." I hear her break down in tears and I do the same. "Are you sure? You're absolutely sure?"
"One hundred percent. The nurse who gave her the ultrasound has paid the expenses of the hospital. A Similar thing happened to her and she felt it was only right."
"T-thank you doctor." Liz says.
After her words no more are exchanged. I cry and cry until the tears refuse to come out. The lump in my throat gets bigger and I hope to god Liz doesn't call Luke. I can't face him. Not after hearing that. It'd break him. And seeing him like that would shatter me completely. I sob myself to sleep clutching the bed sheets.
