Angela said Lucy turning to look at her best friend. Angela sprung into action. He's got a pulse Wes phone an ambulance. Lucy plugged the wound her cries breaking Angela. Please don't die please don't die she said. In the ambulance Lucy rode with Tim. Wes and Angela met them there Nyla finished the report. Upon arriving Angela pulled Lucy into a hug she sat saying nothing.
1 hour passed then another and another.
Wes pulled Angela aside. Ange she should wash her hands and arms get Tim's blood off her I'll get her a drink and something to eat Wes said.
Angela walked over to Lucy and squatted in front of her. Hey sweetheart I think we should wash your hands she said. Lucy looked down her hands started shaking seeing her loves blood on them. Lucy got up with Angela and washed them. Wes brought food and drinks back. Lucy shook her head. Come on babe Angela said you know you have to eat and drink. Lucy reluctantly agreed she was 2 mouthfuls in when a doctor came out. Family of Tim Bradford. Lucy stood up giving the food to Angela. Is he dead she asked tears fearing to spill over. No he's alive unconscious at the minute but through surgery. Lucy breathed out and bent over oh thank god she stood up but the next 24 hrs are crucial. Can I see him. Lucy asked room 042 the doctor replied Angela walked with her. Do you want me to come in ? She asked Lucy shook her head she opened the door. There was Tim more wires than man but there he was. The steady sound of his heartbeat in the background.
Lucy walked towards him her hand out ready to touch him. When she got to him she stopped please don't die she said reaching for his hand. She gave him a kiss and sat in the chair. Hours passed and she fell asleep.

Lucy was 32 weeks today. Visiting Tim she kissed him and sat down. She put his hand on her belly. Did you feel that babe another kick. She let go of his hand and she felt a twinge in her stomach she ignored it. Her eyes were so tired she closed them holding Tim's hand and her bump she drifted off to sleep.
His fingers moved and gripped hers. She was in such a deep slumber she didn't feel it. Coconut wafted into his nose. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was slightly raised in bed. He knew that smell. He turned his head until he was met with Lucy. He looked down her bump looked so much bigger he saw her hand in his and her other hand resting on her bump. He leaned forward and touched her belly.
Flashbacks of his last interaction with her flew through his mind although blurry memories of her speaking to him while he was unconscious entered his mind. As he was thinking he felt a kick. Smiling he pressed her stomach to illicit a response. Another kick. Lucy breathed in and moved her head and hand to the spot where she felt movement.
Stop moving she said tiredly. Pushing her bump.
Her voice like honey.
Hey don't tell our baby to stop kicking he's going to be a footballer. Tim said laughing.
Lucy sat up letting go of his hand. Her hands cupping her mouth. Tears filled her eyes. T-ti- Tim she said the one and only. Come here he said she got up and ran out of the room. Tim was confused Angela Lucy and doctors ran in after an hour of stunned looks from Lucy. Doctors tests and Angela talking nonstop Lucy hadn't said anything. Tim looked at her. Ange held her friends hand she didn't take her eyes off Tim. Tim looked at ange what's wrong with her Lucy Luce it's me please baby. She muttered I thought you were going to die she said hyperventilating Angela walked over to her. Hey she said firmly. He's not dead he's alive. Tim sat up in bed and held out his arms Lucy moved close to him then fell into his embrace it was like he was never gone. All the comforts returned and she smiled after 10 minutes in his arms her breathing had calmed. Angela looked around she's asleep Tim. She said. Lifting her legs onto the bed with Tim he cradled her. Ange what's happened.
Tim she thought you were going to die. She was in this state of emergency for almost 2 and a half weeks. She's only slept here and was a mess. Tim stroked her hair and kissed her head. We thought she was going to go into premature labour with the stress she was under. Tim held her.
The following day she woke up. Morning sleepyhead Tim said Lucy smiled I'm so happy you're here she said. Sitting up she did a sharp inhale and held her stomach what is it babe Tim said it's a twinge I've been having ahh she said again I've been a bit stressed she said I think it's reaction. Tim rubbed her back.
Later he was discharged and they went home. Lying in bed Tim looked at Lucy then at the clock babe it's 23:40 you should be sleeping he looked at her tired eyes what's up. She just looked at him. If I sleep I'm so worried you won't be here when I wake up. Hey it's just you and me and this lil one from now on he said holding her bump.
