Truly Madly Deeply- Sequel to Nobody Compares (Louis Tomlinson Fic) *COMPLETED*

Chapter 45: Negative Thinking

Valerie's POV:

~November 7th~

It was safe to say that I was scared.

I was really, really scared.

I was laying in the hospital bed, just waiting for either a doctor or Louis to come through the door and unfortunately that left me to on my own. Allowed my thoughts to run wild with the possibilities.

They hadn't told me exactly what was wrong yet except that it was serious enough for me to be admitted right away.

What if it was serious enough that I lost one of the babies? Or both of them? Could the babies survive but live with disabilities? Was is serious enough that it could affect me as well?

No... maybe scared was an understatement... I was terrified.

There was a knock at the door and I turned my head to see Louis walking through it. He was at my side almost immediately.

"Val, what's going on?" he asked, taking my hand and rubbing circles on the back of it.

"They haven't explained yet," I said, "The doctor's coming soon to explain." As if on cue there was a knock at the door and the doctor came in.

"Hello Ms. Styles," he said, walking over to the end of the bed, "I'm going to put this as simply as I can. When the ultrasound technician looked on your ultrasound, he found that the girl has a diaphragmatic hernia, which basically means that the muscle separating the chest from the abdomen isn't intact and some of the digestive organs enter the chest cavity and prevent proper lung development. If we don't fix this before the twins are born, there's a strong chance that she won't be able to take her first breath and she won't make it."

"And if it's fixed before she's born?" Louis asked.

"If her lungs have developed enough by then she should be fine," the doctor said, "But we'll need to perform prenatal surgery in order to do that."

"When?" I asked.

"The sooner the better," the doctor said, "The sooner we can do the surgery, the more time she'll have for her lungs to develop before she's born."

"When's the soonest?" I asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon," the doctor said, "Do you want to take some time to decide?"

"No," I said, shaking my head, "I'll do whatever's best for her."

Everything was arranged and the doctor left, leaving Louis and me to ourselves. Louis pulled up a chair and sat next to my bed. To be honest, I was still scared. Not quite as scared as I was before, but still, and apparently Louis could tell.

"Everything's going to be okay Val," he tried to reasure me, "They're going to do everything they can to make sure that both of the twins are alive and healthy when they're born."

"But what if everything they can do isn't enough?" I asked, "What if-"

"It will be enough," Louis said, "You just have to stay positive, okay? Thinking negatively will do nothing but stress you out more."

"I can't help it," I said, "Just-" I cut myself off and just looked up at the ceiling.

"Love," Louis said after a minute, "You gotta try." I hesitated before nodding.

"Okay," I sighed, "Okay, just think positive... okay..."
