Let Me Be The One To Save You

Chapter 42

Gerard's P.O.V

I sat in the waiting room, staring at the door. Kristin was staring out the window. Mikey was pacing the room. The doctors were checking over Vee. We still have no idea what's wrong with her.
The door flung open and James, Frank, Jamia, Ray, Christa, Bob, Caitlyn, Mum and Dad rushed in. They all looked worried.
"What's happening?" James asked, breathlessly. "Is she okay? What did the doctor say? Where is she? When can we see her?"
I sighed as Mum sat on my left and Dad sat on my right. Both grabbing a hand.
"She's with the doctor now." I said, quietly. "She was joking with us earlier. Even though she was in agony. That's got to be a good thing. Right?" I looked at Mum.
Mum smiled, sadly. "It has to be." She said, hugging me. "She'll be okay. She's a fighter."
I turned my eyes back to the door as I heard Vee scream out in pain. I put my head in my hands. Both Mum and Dad rubbed my back.

Venus P.O.V

The blond haired doctor checked my blood pressure.
"Little high, sweetheart." He told me as he put the equipment away. "I'm going to check your stomach next. Okay, hon?"
I groaned.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart." He said as he put some surgical gloves on and lifted my top to uncover my stomach. "I'll try to be gentle."
He gently pressed two fingers into my stomach. The pain was excruciating. I held my breath as I tried to hold back but it became too much. So I screamed out in pain, arching my back.
"I'm so sorry, hon." The doctor said as he moved his hand and covered my stomach.
I closed my eyes as everything went black.

Gerard's P.O.V

Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>>

One hour later.

The doctor entered the room and informed us that I could see Vee. But just me for now.
"How is she?" I asked, standing up, fast.
"She'll be okay." He said. "Although she did pass out earlier."
I run my fingers through my hair. "Oh god. What's wrong with her?"
"We'll discuss it with your wife."
"We'll wait here, sweetheart." Mum said as she hugged me.
"Thanks."
I followed the doctor out of the room. We entered Vee's private room. She looked so vulnerable. Her face was pale. Her eyes were closed. She had her hands resting on her stomach. Her head was tilted to the right. I sat down on the chair to the right of the bed and grabbed her hand. I watched her face for any kind of movement. Nothing.
"I'll be back in a few minutes." The doctor informed me. "Hopefully Mrs Way will be awake then."
I nodded but didn't take my eyes off of Vee. A few seconds later, I heard the doctor leave.
"Hey, baby." I said to Vee as I stood up and stroked her hair. "Everyone's worried about you. James practically had a meltdown. Which was kind of funny. Kristin just went silent and stared out of the waiting room window. Mikey's pacing a hole in the floor. Mum and Dad are trying to be strong. But I can see right through them. They're really worried. Everyone else is going crazy with worry. Even big, bad, scary Bob." I smiled, sadly as Vee opened her eyes.
"Is Mikey okay?" She asked.
I kissed her forehead. "He's fine. Just worried about you."
"What about Kristin, Mum, Dad and James?"
I gave a dry laugh. "Only you." I said with amusement. "Your always so worried about everyone else. Everyone's fine. They're just all worried about you."
She smiled. "Don't have to be." Her grip on my hand, tightened, slightly. "As long as you don't leave me."
"I'm not going anywhere, honey." I kissed her lips, briefly. "I love you way too much."
"I love you too."
The door opened and the doctor walked in. "So your awake?" He said, smiling. "Good, good. I'll check your blood pressure then we'll talk. Is that okay, sweetheart?"
Vee nodded. "Okay."

Twenty minutes later.

I sat by Vee's bed, holding her hand as the doctor spoke.
"I did all the relevant checks." He stated. "I'm sorry to inform you that your wife has had an ectopic pregnancy."
