It's a Love Story! The Sequel

Ch.10

Baffled by the news they received about the baby, it seemed the next week was unbearable to make it through for Rob and Chanel.

They sit in their separate offices alone in the fantasy factory quiet and wouldn't hardly talk to anyone.

Big Black and the others were all becoming suspicious about Rob and Chanel's behaviors.

Rob sat in his office alone staring at the posters on the wall.

Big walked in and sat down in front of Rob.

"Hey man everyone is worried about you and Chanel. You guys haven't hardly said a word to any of us. What's going on?" said Big.

"I honestly don't want to talk about it right now. We're going through a really tough time." said Rob.

"C'mon man I'm your best friend. You can tell me anything." said Big.

"It's about the baby. I don't want to believe it but I just-" Rob said as Big suddenly interrupted him.

"Don't want to believe what?" Big asked.

"The baby, the doctors told us he is dying or is dead by now. I know doctors aren't supposed to lie but what am I supposed to do?" said Rob as a tears formed in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry Rob. You know that I'm here for ya man. Wait, the baby is a boy?" said Big having sympathy for his best friend.

"Yeah I forgot to mention that. But seriously man, what am I gonna do? My son is dying and there's nothing I can do to stop it." said Rob.

"The only thing we can do is hope for the best. Maybe he isn't dying. Maybe the doctors thought wrong and he is okay. Think positive." said Big.

"Yeah you're right. I just hope and pray that he makes it. Thanks for being there for me." said Rob as he hugged his best friend.

"No problem. Just keep your head up. It'll be okay, I promise." said Big.

"I will try. I still need to call my parents and tell them." said Rob reaching for his phone on his desk.

Big left the room while Rob dialed his mom's number.

"Hello" Patty answered.

"Mom it's me. I kinda have to talk to you and dad about something important, do you have a minute?" said Rob.

"Sure sweetie what's wrong?" Patty asked.

"Well Chanel had an accident where she fell down the front stairs outside at the factory and she landed right on her stomach. I took her and Larissa to the hospital to get it checked out and the doctors told us the baby could possibly be dying or already dead. They did an ultrasound on her stomach to see about it and that's what they told us." Rob explained to Patty.

"Oh my gosh. That's awful! I am so sorry sweetie." said Patty.

"Yeah I don't know what we're gonna do. Doctor Reeves said she would call or make us an appointment to let us know if she found out anything else. Oh by the way we found out we were gonna have a boy." said Rob.

"Oh well I will tell Gene about this. Thanks for letting us know. Call me if you find out anything else okay?" said Patty.

"I will. Thanks mom, love you." said Rob.

"Love you too hun. Goodbye." said Patty.

"Bye." Rob hung up and sat his phone back on his desk.

He just sighed, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling as his mind was racing.

"Please God let my son live. Please let him be okay." He whispered to himself.
