A Love Lost

Chapter 24

Hallie was rushed to the hospital. They were able to stop the bleeding. Hallie and Max were in her hospital room waiting on test results. The baby was hooked to a fetal monitor. The doctor came in.

"Good news." She said. "It was a false alarm." "Your baby is healthy and strong and will be just fine." "We would like to keep you overnight for observation."

"Ok." Hallie said.

"Try and get some rest." She left the room

Hallie and Max hugged and kissed.

"I'm going back to the hotel to get some things, I'll be right back." Max said.

"You don't have to stay."

"I want to." "Are you hungry?" "Want me to bring you back anything?"

"Can you go to Dairy Queen and get me a double cheeseburger, fries a coke and a choco brownie blizzard?"

"Sure."

"My purse is over there."

"I'll pay for it."

"No."

"Yes." He went over to her and kissed her. "I love you." They kissed.

"I love you too."

"I love you." He leaned down, kissed her stomach and left.

Five minutes later Sam came running into the room, still in his gear and paint.

"Are you ok?" He asked worried.

"I'm fine."

"What about the baby?"

"It was a false alarm." "The baby is fine."

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank god." He hugged her. He was shaking like a leaf.

"Aw Sam, it's ok."

"I was so scared."

"So was I." He looked at her. They kissed. She broke it after ten seconds. "You have to leave."

"Hallie-

"Sam please." She said interrupting him. "Go." He left. She started crying.
