Chapter 19: Epilogue

Epilogue (Tyler's POV)

"Hurry, hurry." I screamed as we ran down the halls, pushing the stretcher. I looked at my wife caringly. Wrinkles from the stress and sweat beads had formed on her forehead. She was in great pain and I felt helpless. I was right next to her but couldn't do anything to ease her pain.

"Leave her. We'll take it from here." The doctor said. I didn't have the heart to leave her but apparently I had to. I sighed and walked to the canteen. I took out five dollars and purchased a packet of chips and coffee. I sat down on one of the benches and started to eat.

My wife had to be hospitalised because of her pregnancy. She had a few problems in her earlier months but now the time had finally come and she was still facing some difficulties in her pregnancy. And just today she had collapsed while we were enjoying evening snacks. She was laughing and talking actively, but then when I came back from the washroom, I saw her collapsed on the floor with her cup of tea spilled on the floor and her body lying on the carpet, looking so fragile.

I rushed towards her and called an ambulance almost immediately. We transferred her onto a stretcher. She had lost conscious but she woke up enough to feel the pain.

I saw the same doctor who had gone in with my wife, coming out. I ran towards him to ask about her.

"Doctor, is she going to be okay?"I asked while scanning his face for any signs as to what he was going to say.

"Mr. Greene let me explain this to you. Since she had some difficulties regarding her pregnancy, it might not be easy to save both of them. We could probably save only one of them. But of course, if we can we will. But what I wanted to ask was that, which one would it be Mr. Greene? Which one would you like to save?"He asked curiously.

Tears had welled up in my eyes. I fought them back and tried to suppress them. I couldn't believe that I had to choose between two of the most important people in my life. I couldn't believe I had to choose between Selena and our unborn baby. I walked into the operation theatre and saw Selena's helpless face. It was so innocent and calm. Then I looked at her stomach. My baby. My baby was there too, unborn, wanting to come out of his/her shell. I couldn't choose. But unfortunately I had to. I had to choose because i couldn't let go of both.

I faced the doctor and said "Selena." In almost a whisper, hoping nobody would hear because I felt like a criminal. But I chose her because she was my first and last love and I couldn't let her slip away. He nodded and I exited the theatre. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I silently shrugged them off. I couldn't cry. I had to be strong, strong for Selena and my unborn baby.

I waited for nearly 4 hours, pacing the hospital hallways, wondering if both could survive.

I saw the doctor emerge from the theatre. I immediately got up and headed towards him. He had a slight smile playing on his lips. He motioned me into the theatre. I walked in, behind him. And the scene I saw next was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

There, I saw, sitting on the bed was a fair beauty of white with a small child in her hands. I couldn't help the tears that escaped my eyes. I couldn't believe that not only was Selena okay but also my little angel was perfect too. I had a wide smile plastered onto my face. I rushed to hug both of them. I heard Selena giggle, just like in high school. I sighed. This was one hectic day. But I was happy how it turned out.

I kissed Selena on the lips and let it last for a minute. It was like strawberry blending with chocolate, the most beautiful kiss. It reminded me of high school and that made me smile. I looked at our daughter. She was the most gorgeous baby I had ever seen. I kissed her on the cheek and muttered Eva.

"What?"Selena asked in confusion.

"Eva."I repeated, a little louder.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean that her name should be Eva. What do you think?"I said looking up at Selena.

She smiled and dived into kiss me. She looked into my eyes and whispered "I think it's perfect."And then she looked at our baby and whispered "Right, Eva?"
