TAINTED(16)

Chapter 16

“Halo, is anybody there? Help me please.” Eleanor whined early the next morning.

“I need the bathroom, someone please.”She whispered, letting a sob to escape her lips.

Sasha had taken Ariel home to get adequate sleep, and Eric stayed back just in case Eleanor went into labor. He was under strict orders to call Sasha up immediately Eleanor woke up. Sure, Sasha and Eric was a hot item, but he knew when not to push her buttons, so he would fall through with her orders. He thought she looked sexy when angry or possessive, but he knew when to stop. Unfortunately, he was out getting some coffee when Eleanor woke up, so he would not realize she was awake crying out for help.

It did not occur to Eleanor to press the nurse button for quick help, because she needed to go, and she felt herself already starting to go. Little did she know that was the baby pushing, and ready to come out. A stray male nurse happened to pass by her door, and Eleanor suddenly shouted, “Help!”

The male nurse stopped in his tracks, and turned around, peeping into the room to see if he had actually heard someone yelp for help. His eyes met with a panicky looking girl who quickly told him she needed the restroom. He asked her to hold on, as he checked how far she had dilated. She spread her legs apart, and he checked, and then informed her it was time. Eleanor’s eyes grew as wide as saucers, and she started hyperventilating until the nurse held her hand to come her down.

“Is there anyone you’d like us to call for you?” asked the nurse.

Eleanor nodded vigorously, and voiced out Eric’s number, then grimaced, and decided it was safer to call Sasha, so she asked the nurse to dial her. Almost immediately, Sasha answered her phone, and was already on her way over before she could hang up. She had not slept much the previous night because of all the excitement she felt for Eleanor. She had not experienced family all over her when she was giving birth, and she did not want her friend to go through the same fate.

Sasha’s parents had kicked her out when they discovered she was pregnant. They claimed that she was a whore, but little did they know what had actually happened to her. Her life had been a circus in itself, but now was not the time to dwell on the past. Her best friend needed her, and she was going to do everything in her power to make sure Lea felt loved.

Ariel was ecstatic for someone to play with, but Sasha had warned her that the baby would be so delicate, and she would have to be gentle when holding it. In less than thirty minutes, Sasha was packing in the hospital parking, and hurriedly rushing into the hospital. She quickly dropped Ariel off at the daycare, and promised her that she would be back as soon as the baby was ready to meet her. Ariel hugged her mum tightly whispering to her to hurry up since she wanted to meet her little sibling.

Within a few minutes after the nurse’s announcement, Eleanor’s room filled up with midwives and the doctor preparing for the baby. Eric casually strolled in unaware of what had aspired, and as soon as he noticed what was going on, he dropped his coffee cup, letting all the content in it spill to the floor. He stared at his cup, then back to Eleanor as his mouth opened and closed like a fish’s. He was dumfounded, and it took the nurse’s question to snap him out of it.

“Huh?” Eric asked, staring off into space.

“Do you wish to stay here during the birth, if the mother is ok with it?” the nurse asked again looking at Eleanor for approval.

“Uh,” he replied, scratching the back of his head, as he stared at Eleanor hopefully.

All Eleanor could do was nod vigorously, and stretch out her hand toward him. He rushed over to her, before pulling out his phone with trembling hands to dial Sasha.
