BRUTAL MINDS (A DARK ROMANCE)

CHAPTER 55- BOTH THEIR LOVE

           Fiona walked through the door to Lisa's bedroom that afternoon. She was lying on her bed, in a terrible state. Crying her eyes out since the news of Allison's pregnancy hit the news.

"Have you called Hades?" She asked.
"He's not been very easy to access." Fiona said sadly.
"Ofcourse he wouldn't. He's busy with that woman!"
"What now? You're not getting any better, crying your eyes out."
"I don't care. Help me with something."
"What is it?"
"Get rid of that woman by his side."
"What? Lisa? Are you out of your mind? She's pregnant!"
"I don't care! Even better! Poison her or I'll do it myself Fiona!"
"Lisa....he doesn't even deserve you."
"But I love him and it's just not fair that he lives a happy ever after while I stay in here and rot not after all the sacrifices I've had to make for Hades. That lovable bastard!"
"Maybe it'd be better if you let go, Lisa."
"No, I want that woman dead. Are you helping me out or not?"

                   That night, Hades took his beloved wife and soon to be mother of his child, out on a dinner date.

"Easy now, easy." Hades said as he led Allison's hand to the table reserved for them at the restaurant.
"Stop treating me like a sack of potatoes, Hades."
"You're worse than that." He teased.
She frowned.
"But I love you regardless."
"That's better. What are we having?" Allison picked up the menu.
"Whatever you want, darling."

               It wasn't long before Allison sent for the waiter who was actually Lisa in disguise. She served them their order whilst putting on her best French accent, which she was good at. No one suspected it was her with the face mask she had on.

           After a few minutes, dinner was served, eaten and dine with. Hades was just leading Allison out the door when she slumped down in his arms. Panicked, he called for an ambulance and a triumphant Lisa escaped through the back entrance into her car. She drove away speedily, dialing Fiona.

"So?"
"I did it!" She laughed.
"You're a horrible person, girl." Fiona sighed on the other end.
"Make me a glass of champagne by the time I get home. We're definitely celebrating."
"Alright, alright. I will."
"Later, bye. Oh my God!" She gasped, frightened by the incoming vehicle.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Fiona asked, worried. Then she heard a loud crash.

Silence!

"Lisa? Lisa are you there?" She asked in a panicked frenzy. "Oh no no! Shit no! Lisa!" She rushed out of the house and got into a dark green Porsche on her way to find out what went wrong.

                       ~~~~~~~~~~

"Hades..." Allison called out, weakly from the ambulance.

           Hades was sitting behind her and she seemed to be going through pains. Induced labour? Probably and this was dangerous considering the baby was only in its eighth month.

"It's fine, love. You'll be fine."
"If anything were to happen, save the baby, I beg of you."
"What the hell?" Fear ran down his back like a cold chill.
"If it comes to a point where you are asked to chose, whose life would be saved. Atleast honor our contract and save the baby. I don't want to...."
"Fuck the contract Allison, stay with me please." He held onto her hand, pleadingly.  "I can't lose you."

              The ambulance blared loudly as it drove through the hospital gates. A stretcher was brought out and Allison laud on it. Hades held onto the side as well as a few medical personnel wheeling her inside. He looked at her pale face, scared for her life. She was wheeled into the labour ward and He was allowed to stay beside her throughout the entire time.

            A shot of vaccine was administered to her to relieve the food poisoning. Fortunately, whoever tried to poison her was an amateur and things turned out better in Allison's favour but she was still in labour. She held onto Hades' hand firmly as the doctor and nurses urged her on. Cheering and encouraging her to keep pushing.

"You're almost there, love." She heard his voice. "You're doing well, love. Keep going, sweetheart."

            Her mind was blurry, hazy. The only thing she could feel, see and even almost taste was the immerse pain. So raw that it shook her very core hard and deeply. Thank goodness she would only have to go through this once. She screamed till her lungs could go no more and with a finally crash of her back down on the bed, she could hear her baby cry out. Allison was breathing heavily and had no strength to even look up at her child.

"Congratulations Mr Lenshaw. It's a boy."
Hades eyes widened in surprise as he held the little creature in his arms. He turned to Allison, who was smiling, faintly.
"It's a boy Hades."
"It's a...boy." Hades looked down at his genital, faint disappointment in his voice.
"Hades....what's with that tone?" She frowned.
"N-nothing darling, it's a...it's a boy..just...but...but are you sure there aren't any more left in there?" He asked, desperately.
"HADES!" Allison scolded, frowning.
"Forgive me, darling. Ofcourse I love our baby very much."
"You'd better! You'd better..." She sighed, slowly giving up to fatigue and falling asleep.

               Hades looked at the little thing crying in his arms. He had been expecting a mini Allison not another version of himself but all the same. He thought. The child, had his brown hair but Allison's blue eyes. He smiled. As it should be- a product of both their love. One he would cherish forever.
