fighting for what was ours : raura

✧ something new to stress about ✧

darkness.
that's all I'm able to see.

my head hurts. my legs and arms feel paralyzed & my eyes feel like they're glued together.
they won't open no matter how much I tried.

the last thing that I remember was getting my phone off of the cup holder and not seeing the honking truck heading towards me.

after a while I hear voices and footsteps approach me.

"Sir, calm down." I hear.

"I can't calm down! that's my wife & baby in there!"

ok what is going on??

then I feel a pair of hands grab mine.
i can't help but feel safe and content once I felt those smooth yet rough hands on mine.

why does my heart feel like it's about to explode?

I try to open my eyes to see what's going on but nothing! zilch!

I hear someone clear their throat before whispering, "please be ok babies." I feel some pressure on my stomach.

"God this is all my fault." they whisper.

uh what?
is he talking to me? why does he think my accident is his fault? well, unless he was the one driving the truck.

after some more trying, I feel my eyes flutter open. I look around the plain white room & soon the smell of blood and rubbing alcohol fills my nose.

when I finally look down, I see a head of blonde hair resting on my stomach. looks soft. can I touch it??

going with my instincts, I softly run my fingers through his hair & that's when they decide to lift their head up.

he's got beautiful hazel eyes, light full plump lips.

once he sees me, relief and happiness consume his features, "oh god Laura I'm so glad you're ok." They grin before pulling me into a hug.

Again, huh?

I laugh, softly patting his back before pulling away, "I'm uh, I'm sorry, but who are you?" Shock, anger, worry, & mostly shock is shown in his eyes.

They look sad for a moment, "you don't know who I am?" He asks softly.

I shake my head, "no I'm sorry. Should I?" I ask him.

His face is blank before he stands up from his chair and walks out the door.

Where's he going? I think in confusion.

Moments later, he comes back in with a doctor and a nurse. They start examining me.

The doctor sighs before speaking, "well, it looks like she's suffering from some temporary memory loss. She must've hit her head hard in the accident." He looks at the guy before looking at me.

"How are you feeling Laura?" He asks.
"I feel as good as you can feel after a car accident." I say.

He nods, "and how much exactly do you remember?" He asks again.

"I uh I don't really know." I shrug in apology.

He nods before saying it's fine. He and the guy from earlier walk out and I'm left with my thoughts.

*************

"how long do you think this 'temporary memory loss' will last doc?" I ask him.

"We can't tell. It all depends on her."

"Why does it seem like she forgot everything? We dated for a few years before getting married, how come she doesn't remember that?"

He sighs, "I don't know Ross. It's like there's a wall up there in her head. The exams we took didn't tell us anything."

I put my head down, "well what about the baby? did it survive?" I ask in panic.

He puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder, "the baby is fine. but you do realize that you have to tell her about your marriage and the fact that she's carrying your baby?" He says.

"But how do I do that? I had already asked her for the divorce." I ask in frustration.

"You better not bring that up. It's gonna cause more stress levels and it will lead up to her thinking more about the memory she lost and that could be dangerous for both the baby & herself. So you might have to wait till she's completely fine before going through with that divorce of yours." He scolds at me.

I nod.

He gives me one last nod before leaving.

I run my fingers through my hair in frustration.

This is all just too complicated.
