SOTD: FIX YOU BY COLDPLAY

Walking back into the waiting room was absolute torture. 

My chest felt like there were weights on it and everytime I took a step, my legs felt like they would give way beneath me. 

"You okay?" Jude whispered as I came back to sit next to him. 

I slowly looked up at him, "I have no clue"

I steeled my jaw as Andrew walked into the room, staring at the ground the entire time. My eyes trailed after him with a fire so deep that it almost hurt to watch him for too long. 

"Where is she?!" 

"Where is she?!"

My ears pricked at the anxious wails that were coming from somewhere past the waiting room and I jumped up as Seth pushed through the doors looking like an absolute mess. 

"Where the hell have you been?!" Talia shouted, "We've been trying to get you for almost five hours, now"

Seth bent over and took a couple of deep breaths, "I was driving back from Florida when I got Andrew's messages!" 

"Wait, what?" I muttered, dumbfounded. 

What the hell was Seth doing in Florida?

"What the hell were you doing in Florida?" Mrs. Mcguinness snapped, voicing all of our thoughts. 

"Getting him" Seth breathed, pushing the waiting room door open as a short man with silvery hair slowly entered. 

Everyone was silent but Sean, "As much as I love the average middle aged white man, what's he for?"

Despite his unconventional means, Sean was the only person who had the ability to ask you a harmless question and make you feel stupid at the same time. 

"He's here to ordain us!" Seth grinned, light entering his green eyes, "He's here to marry us!!"

"You must be out of your mind" Mrs. Mcguinness snapped, giving Seth a dark glare, "What do you think this is? MY daughter will not elope with the likes of you, especially when you were absent for the birth of your own child"

"She's had the baby?" Seth's face instantly shut down and he furrowed his eyebrows, "Andrew said she was having contractions, how did she have the baby?"

I made a face, "The same way most people have babies"

"My mom was in labour for three days before she had me" Seth whispered looking around wildly. 

"And look at how well you turned out" Mrs. Mcguinness scoffed turning her nose up at Seth's ordained minister, "You might as well call yourself an uber"

Seth shook his head, "Mrs. Mcguinness, don't you get it?"

"Everything about Trish calls order, from the way she sleeps to the way she ties her shoes...The last thing she wanted was to have a child before she got married and....and....I wanted her to have it her way" Seth murmured, "IT doesn't matter to me...Regardless of whether we get married today, tomorrow or in five years, in my head she's already the only woman I ever want to spend my life with. This, the minister ordaining us, is for her"

Talia clucked her tongue, "You're an idiot...but I can't vilify you for wanting to give Trish what she wanted; she deserves every single thing she asks for"

Mrs. Mcguinness was silent for a while before looking away, "The doctors aren't letting anyone see Trish right now"

"Why? What's wrong" Seth's eyes were immediately cleared, "What's wrong with Trish?!"
