CONSEQUENCES

CHAPTER 16 LEWIS

I know this is really short for me but I felt like you deserved something and I felt like this chapter really needed to be there so you can see the relationship between Michael and Lewis.

LEWIS' POV

I got call from Eve and she told me that the helo was coming for me because Maria is in labor and it looks like it is a short one. She did reassure me that her doctor was already there because she had been visiting her parents who happen to live at the estate. And that Maria was doing great although she was too far into the labor process before anyone knew it to move her. She also said that Maria was fine and they have a full delivery setup there. I can't help but be nervous because I am not there and the baby is early. I am glad that her own doctor is there. I hope both her and the baby are okay. They wouldn't let her talk to me because she was in the advanced stages of labor. I just hope I make it for the delivery. Maria doesn't need to go through this alone.

As we land I am met by her Uncle Bill and he takes me to a wing of this estate that I have never been to. As we walk into what looks like a bedroom I see they have a delivery bed set up and the doctor is delivering the after birth. Some guy in scrubs has my daughter and is cleaning her up. I can't see his face because he is wearing a mask. The doctor tells me to get a quick look because they are about to take her to the nursery to check her out and clean her up. I can see DeAnn after they have her warmed up and have checked everything out. She tells me I may want to talk with my wife.

As I approach my wife I notice that Maria is a little sad. I just assume that it is because she wants her baby and she was just taken into the adjoining room. I walk over to her and give her a big hug and tell her how proud of her I am. She keeps apologies coming. I don't understand why she is doing this.

"Sweetie why do you keep apologising. Its not like you knew you would go into labor early. The baby is fine. She looks to be a fairly big girl and she will be back in here soon.

"Eve has explained that something was said about Mary and she thinks that you had all that pain buried deep and had never grieved for her. I am so sorry that you didn't get it out. You were so strong for everyone else and we just never let you grieve. I know she was closer to you than your own sister and I should have realised you were still holding it in. I am so sorry baby!

"You were there for everyone and I guess we didn't just didn't think about you. You were just so strong. Eve said Michael is here and that someone came in and found the wolves that had attacked her and they were going after them and you just broke after he showed signs of pain. Baby I know I could not have made it without you.

" I wish I had realised that you still had it buried but I didn't. It may have caused you to go into early labor but then again if DeAnn's size is anything to go by I am glad you did go into early labor. Sweetheart she is 9 lds and 4 ozs. If she had waited another month it would have killed you to have her. So everything seems to work out for the best. You just rest and when you wake up maybe I can bring her in to see you."

"Thank you Lewis. Umm when I broke down Michael was the one to notice and he carried me to my room and stayed close so he could check on DeNice. I think he was the first to notice something was wrong with me. I don't know exactly how but he went for Eve and well you know the rest." Maria told me.

"Well if that is the case I need to find my good friend and think him." I tell Maria.

I found Michael in the nursery. He was wearing his jeans and a t-shirt rocking DeNice. It seems she was upset for all the commotion going on on the others side of the room. He says something to her then ask if I would like to rock her after I look at my new daughter.

I let him keep rocking her as I just look at my new daughter. We talk for a little while and I let him know that if anything were to happen to me I want him to look after my family. He promises that he will help me with them for as long as he lives because he knows that if even if we weren't so close Maria was the one person that Mary was so close to. He admits that he now regrets never meeting her back then. I now know that when I am gone he will take care of Maria and my kids.

"Michael I want us to start getting together on a regular bases. I want the kids to know you and trust you. I know that I won't be here for them when they grow up. So I want a man in their life that they can trust." I tell him.

"Lewis are you sure about this?" He ask me.

"Yes Michael I am. I know I might be able to see them into their teenage years but not their young adult years. I have already done too much to my body. I have already changed but I am sure the damage is done and will show up. Hell look how young I am and I can't even treat my wife like she needs to be treated without the little blue pills. So I know I have done too much damage to live to be old. I just pray for enough time to see the kids to grow up.

"The thought of what I am already doing to Maria is breaking my heart. I love her so much. I never thought I would love after Mary but Maria is a different kind of love and trust. We became friends first and when we married we only married because of the friendship and she had to or else someone else got to force whomever they wanted on her. I couldn't let that happen. She meant too much to Mary and I...but now I have grown to love her. So when the time comes promise me you will take care of her and the kids." I tell him.

"Michael she has such a big heart. I really feel if you get to know her you will love her."

"Lewis I will do whatever I can. I can promise you that. Just the little time I've been here and run into her with the family I know she is special and can't help but wonder what would I have done if I had taken the time to meet her when she was Mary's room mate. Hell I might just have made her mine then. LOL. Don't worry I know she is yours and I will not cross those lines. But yes I will take care of them no matter what when and if you die at an early age." Michael tells me.
