Forever Yours (Stay With Me Sequel)

Epilogue 2

July31, 2014

I wiped my face and sniffed as I closed the book. On tossing it on the other side of the couch, I rose to my feet carefully to go to the bathroom to wash my face. Gayle Forman is one hell of a writer, and it was my first time experience with her. "If I Stay" completely took me down, so badly down that I felt like not crying this way in ages. It was as if she was writing my story with Mia becoming an orphan at the end. Every bit of the novel reminded me of my parents and sister, and at one point of time I regretted reading it. Nevertheless, Niall gifted it to me and he thought I should know that he's the Adam of my life. And actually, he is.

I turned on the lights of the bathroom and stood before the mirror, looking like shit. I ran the tap and splashed my face with water repeatedly until I felt fresh. On lifting my head up as I looked at myself on the mirror again, I felt unusual. A cold sensation swirled around my vagina and down my thighs. I immediately bent my head down and pulled my nightdress up to notice that I'm leaking down my legs.

"Oh shit," I covered my mouth with both of my hands.

I knew my water broke and the babies were coming out. Somehow I managed to turn on my heels and walk back to the sitting area. I took a glimpse of the wall clock and saw that it was 9.30 Pm. Niall wasn't home yet being busy with extra office work.

I quickly grabbed my mobile from the center table and dialed Niall's number. He picked up at the seventh ring, sounding very busy.

"Baby, I'll get late. You go to bed, don'twait for me, okay?" he said in one breath.

"Ni...ahlll, I....the ba..bies," I tried to catch my breath.

"Lily? What happened? What about the babies?" he sounded worried instantly.

"My....wh...water broke. I...I think the babies are coming out," I finally could manage to speak.

"WHAT?" he almost screamed.

"Could you please come fast?" I screamed too in pain.

"Honey, I'll be there in a few minutes.Just hold on okay," he retorted and quickly hung up.

I couldn't even manage to toss the mobile on the couch, and instead lost control of it and dropped it down. I surrendered myself on the couch, keeping both of my hands on my belly and simply screaming.

I knew I should call Maura and Denise if not anyone else, who lived quite near to us, but my body wasn't permitting. The pain was too much to take.

Nevertheless, I gathered energy and rose to my feet to somehow clamber my way to the bedroom. I opened the wardrobe and pulled out a small travel bag. I fished a pair of jeans and shirt along with some undergarments and just dropped them inside the bag. Some other important items like umbrella, towels, soap, etc also followed inside the bag.

By the time, I was done zipping off the bag and going back to the sitting area I heard the doorbell ring again and again. I limped my way to it and opened it to Niall.

"Lily, you okay?" he held my arms and asked, eye brows deeply knitted together and breaths entirely irregular.

"No, no, no," I scream-answered.

Niall barged inside the house and ran towards the bedroom. I couldn't understand why because peeing didn't serve to be the answer as the bathroom was situated outside the room.

"Where are you going? I can't hold it in anymore," I cried out.

"Just a sec, baby," he screamed back.

In a blink of an eye, he emerged from the room holding his handy cam and smiling at me.

"Are you serious?" I shouted.
