The next morning, Stephen asked me to drive to the hospital. The music was loud just so that I would stop all awkward conversations. I wanted to stop, turn around and go surfing, instead of going to meet Stephen's ex girlfriend and his unborn child. The silence was awkward, that night we had slept together..on the same bed, in each others arms. I woke up before he did and watched him sleep, it was a sight that I wish I could see forever. His hair all messy, his sharp jawline, his perfect skin n those soft lips looked simply amazing in the morning.
'I'm glad you're doing this with me...it means a lot!' He said turning down the volume.
'Sure' I said and didn't glance at him. I wondered how he felt, about all this. I wanted to know why he felt like protecting me and having me around. I was not intending to let him know how I felt about him, for how long I had been dying to feel his soft lips against mine and how my body aches for his touch, especially when his just a few meters apart. I was falling for him all over again I didn't want to admit it but it was happening.
We drove in silence to the hospital, and after I found a parking space he got out of the car first and came to open my door.
'Are you sure you want to do this?!' He asked with a concerned look on his face.
'Its now or never!' I answered, got out the car, locked it and we walked towards the front doors. He grabbed hold of my hand softly as he walked by my side and I didn't pull away, knowing that he was way more nervous than I was.
As we approached the door, I saw a rather short girl, with a tummy. She had blonde hair, a lighter skin ton than me and brown eyes.
'Stephen!' She said as soon as she saw us, she leapt forward to hug him. He quickly lifted his hand for a handshake instead, she looked confused.
'Hi, Chloe!' He said pulling his hand away,
'This is Bliss, my girlfriend!' He added,
'Can we get on with it!?' He said over powering her as she led the way into the hospital. Silence echoed as we walked long the corridors, Chloe infront, and Stephen n I behind her. He still hadn't let go of my hand, I liked it, we came to a stop into a room filled with chairs n a nurse asked us to wait. I took a sit next to Stephen n Chloe sat on the opposite side of me. She looked familiar, as if I'd seen her before,
'So...how long have you two been together?!' She asked with a hunt of disgust as she glanced over at me.
'Long enough!' I replied and gave her an evil glare, Stephen squeezed my hand as if congratulating me. We sat I silence for a few minutes and the Stephen stretched out his arms n put one around me, I leaned back knowing what game he was playing. Chloe just watched us and got even more frustrated.
'Chloe Evans?' The nurse called out, Stephen stood up quickly and went to collect the piece of envelop she held in her hands. She glanced over at Chloe looking for an assurance and she nodded.
Stephen slowly ripped open the envelope, and read through it.
'I am the father,' he whispered looking terrified,
'What?!' I asked
'I'm going to be a father.' He said more lively.
'I told you so!' She said
'I hope you will be there on my labor day, I will be very happy.' She added and moved to where Stephen was standing.
'We will!' He replied throwing an arm around my waist n pulling me closer. I flushed on the spot and Chloe's face turned red with rage and just stormed out of the hospital after yelling,
'I'll call you!' to Stephen.
He stared at her until she was out of sight, then he let out a long sigh.
'You hungry?!' He asked,
'Yeah, lets go to my Uncle's place and get something to eat!' I suggested and he agreed and led the way to the car park.
'I'm glad we got this over with. I was really hoping I was not the father?!' He said breaking the silence.
'Don't regret something that you've done. Because at some point it was all you wanted...' I replied without taking my eyes off the road.
'No...its just...I...' He started to say.
'You what?!' I asked
'I wanted it to be with the girl am in love with.' He said staring out the window and we remained silent throughout the ride.
On the way to my Uncles, we passed an ambulance and I couldn't help but think that it was Joanne, driving off. I drifted that thought out of my mind, and all of sudden Stephen's phone began to rang, my heart started to beat faster.
'Yo?!' He said into the phone, I couldn't hers the rest, but Stephen's face when completely white with fear. I quickly made a U-turn and sped off to the hospital, we reached there at the same time as the peremedics rushed inside with Joanne's body on a stretcher. We rushed inside and Nathan followed behind, with Lexie n Brian by his side.
My heart was thumping n I felt as if it was going to bouch out my chest.
'This is as far as you go, the doctors will tend to her. All you can do I pray n wait.' A nurse said after she had stopped from jamming through the ICU doors. I could see from Stephen's expression that he was about to give that nurse a piece of his mind, so I quickly took his arm and dragged him to the waiting area.
***
It felt like hours since we had been sat there, Nathan, Lexie n Brian were taking forever to get back and night was almost falling. I sat there in silence, my head on his shoulders n his arm around me. I watched his every move, he barely said a word after the guys left. I wanted to know what he was thinking desperately, I wanted to be his source of comfort, I wanted him to know that I was here and I was never letting go.
'Bliss?!' a voice muttered from the door way, I looked up and saw his father;
'Mason?!' I asked feeling confused.
'What happened?!' He asked, I ran up to him n gave him a warm hug, I had not seen Mason for the past 3 years, and he looked so surprised to see me, his eyes were darker than Stephens, as if longing for something or someone, I couldn't really tell.
'What are you doing here?!' Stephen asked as he walked up to us n tightening his fist.
'She's still my wife, Stephen. And am still your father, so a little respect would be greatful!' Mason replied.
'You lost that when you walked out on us for a slut, who then left you because your an idiot!' Stephen replied with fury pouring out his eyes. Luckily a doctor arrived,
'Hello, my name is Doctor Fareed,'
'Evening, am the patients husband, Mason. This is my son; Stephen n his girlfriend; Bliss. How is she doctor?!' He said and I eyed the doctor, his face was pale n white.
'For now, she is stable. But if we don't find a doner soon, it will be too late. Shes on the 3rd floor, its private, already paid for.' Doctor Fareed said and walked off.
We took the elevator up and silence crept between us and the elevator went slower.
'Joanne!' Mason whispered as he sat on the side of her bed. The room looked cozy, it had a small balcony and everything else to make a patient feel at home.
Joanne slowly opened her eyes, raised one hand and placed it on his lap, she forced a smile then dozed of back to sleep. Nathan n Brian came bursting through the doors moments later,
'Is she ok?!' Nathan said staring at his father.
'Yes, she will be.' Mason replied coldly.
I began to feel light headed, maybe I need some air, I thought to myself, Brian had been eyeing me the whole time, so I walked over to the balcony, leaned forward, and all of a sudden I was falling. Last thing I remembered was a face which I doubted I was ever going to see again.
Flynn!?
*Sorry for the late update, didn't know how to make it all fall into place.*
