CHAPTER 36

            I woke up to the smell of disinfectants and knew I was in a hospital. Whatever happened to me? I tried opening my eyes but a bright light blinded me and I closed them back. “She’s conscious now and awake. You have to be careful with her, okay?” a male voice said. The light was moved away and I gently opened my eyes. I saw that the voice I heard was the doctor’s and he smiled and nodded at me. “Miss Fiona, you’re okay now, you have to rest and relax, don’t stress yourself please.” I nodded and he left the room. “Mum? Dad? Ed?” I whispered and someone took my hand in theirs. “I’m here love, right beside you.” Ed said and sat on the bed beside me. “I’m sorry I ruined your party.” I said, feeling bad that I had to slump in the middle of it. “You didn’t ruin it, it went on just fine. They didn’t even notice when I and Evans carried you out.” He replied. “Went on? How long have I been here?” I asked. “Third day now. You were unconscious the last two days. I was scared I was gonna lose you.” He replied.

             The door opened and mum, Brianna, dad and max came in. “Thank god. Darling, how are you feeling?” dad asked as he gave me a peck on my forehead. Mum stroked my cheeks gently and Max fumbled with my toes while Brianna gave me a peck and moved back to let mum and dad have me to themselves. “I don’t even know how I feel other than my mouth’s dry.” I replied. “I’d get you some water.” Max said and disappeared. “I’m so sorry sweetheart but I’m glad you’re okay. Evans, Belinda,Florence and Michael have gone home to rest. They’ve been by your bedside for two days and Ed wouldn’t leave.” Mum said. I managed to smile and hold her hand.

           “Okay you guys should go home and rest too, I feel sleepy anyway.” I said. “Ed, you in particular. Else I’ll kick you out of the room myself.” I added as max came in with a bottle of water and disposable cup and a nurse followed. She changed my drip and left. “Alright I’d leave as soon as you sleep.” Ed said and I drank the water. “What happened to me or rather what’s wrong with me?” I asked. “The doctor will tell you as soon as you’re strong enough. So you have to get strong very fast if you wanna know.” Max said. I wanted to argue but didn’t, I was too weak anyway and if the news was going to be bad I had to be strong enough for it. I nodded and the darkness enveloped me again in no time.

            When I awoke nobody was in the room. I closed my eyes and tried to get up. “Don’t force yourself to get up, Miss Fiona. You’re still a bit groggy from the drip you were given. A nurse will be with you shortly.” A voice said over what sounded like an intercom. I looked around and saw a monitor that was being used to watch me. It was the same doctor’s face that was there; I smiled and settled back into the bed. Then the door opened. “Good morning, miss –” “Morning?” I interrupted and then looked at the wall clock. I’d slept for more than 24 hours! “Yes miss, you’re looking better now. How do you feel?” she asked. She was pretty and her uniform was quite short. “I feel quite good. Where’s everyone? Ed? Did he go home?” I asked at once. “He’s at the waiting room and no, he didn’t go home. He’s been here since you were admitted.” She replied. I nodded and let her give me some tablets. As if on cue, Ed came in and she excused us. “Thank you, betty.” Ed said to her. “You’re welcome.” She replied and disappeared.

          “Kiss me ed.” I said surprising him that that was the first thing I asked for. “You got it, love.” He said just as his lips touched mine. “gently.” The surveillance sounded again and we chuckled. “Oh shut up doc. You’re not supposed to see that.” Ed said and we heard the doctor laugh, then the monitor went off. “So what happened?” I asked. “Well I can see you’re really curious. You’re… uhm… 6weeks pregnant and you’re kind of allergic to chicken during pregnancy. That was what triggered the nausea you were feeling and you were not eating well too. Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you want to harm the baby?” Ed said. “Pregnant? How didn’t I know? I mean I never vomited… okay. I did twice but that was after I had eaten something so I never suspected anything was wrong with me. Besides, my period has always been irregular and when I didn’t see it, I thought it was just like any other month when I won’t see it. I’d never have thought of harming the baby. You should know that, ed.” I replied looking down at my stomach and thrilled that Ed’s baby was there.

           “I told everyone the same thing, if you knew you’d have told someone. So what do you think about this? What do you want us to do about it? I want us to get married as soon as you’re strong enough. What do you want?” Ed said and stroked my hair, twirling and undid it. “I’m happy about it, ed. I’m having our baby, I can’t wait to be your wife officially.” I replied. He kissed me again and the door opened. Evans, Belinda,Florence and the rest of the family burst in bearing flowers and gifts. “You’re in bed with her?”Florence said and made everyone laugh at her outburst. Ed got up and allowed them get closer to me and touch me and do whatever. “He’s told me about the baby.” I said. The room grew silent and awkward for a while. Everyone, not sure of what to say. “Congratulations, I’m going to have a niece!” belie shouted. “No way, it’s a boy.” Evans said. They started arguing and I just laughed. “Okay. It’s a boy and a girl.” Brianna offered. “No way can I be carrying twins.” I said and they all laughed. I opened my gifts and almost everything was baby stuffs, some for a boy and some for a girl and others were unisex. “Wow, you’re all prepared for the baby. Thank you.” I grinned. We talked and everyone was merry. The nurse came in with the doctor and I was told I could go home the next day. “You’re a very fast healer.” Dr. Grey said and dad nodded. “She’s always been a fighter.’ The doctor and nurse left and Ed announced we’d get married as soon as I’m back to normal.

           “That’s okay. The sooner, the better.” Dad said and plans for the wedding started immediately. I couldn’t wait to get married. “A carriage would be nice.” Max suggested, as they talked about our transport to the wedding venue. “What about a bike?” Ed said and everyone laughed. I drifted off to sleep satisfied with the nice loving family that surrounded me.
