HS: "Am I still going to be a father?" (2018)

9

Hello there! So here's an other tiny chapter :) 

-

Mariana's P.O.V.

I feel my whole body sore, my throat dry and my head like it is going to explode. I open my eyes and a bright light invades me. Where am I? I think it's a hospital...

"Harry? Harry?" I moan.

I'm in a room with a couch on my right and the wall in front of me is entirely made of glass. I can see people on the other side, talking. I believe it's some kind of nurse's station. I can read on the glass the words ICU. I think the nurses noticed me calling out. Someone is coming.

"Mariana? Hello, I'm doctor Williams. You're in the ICU, you just had surgery. I have to do a quick check up on you okay?" says a tall mid-forties man who comes into the room.

"Where's Harry? How's the baby?"

"Harry will be right here. Now I have to check your brain function okay Mariana? Remember these words: HOUSE, DOG and PINK"

"Alright."

"Okay, now follow this light with your eyes without moving your head." He moves a tiny flashlight horizontally in front of me "Great! Now lift both your arms this high and keep them like this for a while." I do as he says "Okay. Can you tell me your name?"

"Mariana Martins"

"What day is today?"

"I don't know. I was at the concert and it was Saturday the 18 of August."

"It's 3:30am so technically now it's the 19 of August, but very well." he says smiling "Do you remember those words I told you earlier?"

"Yeah. House, dog and pink."

"Great! Everything checks out! I'm gonna get Harry."

Harry's P.O.V.

Louis and I have been talking for a while when someone knocks on the door. It's the doctor:

"She is awake." I get up "I haven't told her anything. She is asking for you Mr. Styles."

Louis and I follow the doctor across the hallways and go up a floor. We get to her room. I can see her through the glass, I stop. She hasn't seen me yet.

"Hey Hazz, c'mon." Louis says.

"How am I gonna tell her Lou..."

"I can imagine it is hard, but right now you need to go in there. She needs you man."

I get inside and she smiles as she sees me and we hug tight.

"Oh babe, I was so worried..." we let go of each others grip and I sit on the chair that is by the bed holding her hand.

"Harry, what happened? The doctor didn't tell me anything... He just said I had surgery. What surgery? Why? How's the baby?"

"Mar..." I clear my throat "I don't know a lot of medical details, if you want I can ask the doctor to explain it to you, but you had an internal bleeding. And..." My voice cracks. She loosens the grip on my hand. I'm trying not to cry, but I guess she has noticed because her eyes are watery and she is looking at me with a sad look on her face and I know that she knows what I am going to say next. "The baby didn't make it Mar..."

She starts crying and we hug. She is crying on my chest and I am crying too. 

I look outside and see Louis through the glass. He is crying as well. 

The nurses and the doctor are standing there looking at us with a sad and pitiful look on their faces. As I look at them they look away. Louis notices that and comes inside, closes the blinds, leaves the room and closes the door. 

Mariana doesn't notice. She is still crying on my chest. 

She moves away in the bed and I lay there on her side. 

We are hugging.

My head hurts. 

I imagine hers does as well. 

We just stay there silent on the bed. 

She falls sleep. 

I do too.
