#2 Scars Of A Warrior

Chapter 28: Unfaithful

*Erin's pov*

[A week later August 23rd ; I'm still in the hospital Dylan has been avoiding me Will comes in he says:]

"Hey Erin how are you feeling today?"

"My kids hate me and the only thing I want to do is curl up in a ball and die. Is Dylan here?"

"Yea."

"Would you tell her that I want to see her?"

"Sure. For the record they don't hate you. You lost them the minute you hit Lexi and you really hurt the girls more than anyone."

"Will what do I do?"

"Ask for forgiveness and go from there."

"I have but they won't talk to me especially the girls. I just want my family back."

"They're stubborn just like you but Lexi did send you those tulips."

"Really?"

"Yea."[Erin smiles we continue to talk ; 12:00pm Erin says:]

"Who performed my surgery?"

"Dylan. She might be mad at you but she's a great doctor."

"I want to make it right with my kids but I've never been so lost. I love my kids Will you know I love my kids. I don't know what to do."[I start crying Will hands me a tissue ; he says:]

"Just breathe and I will talk to Dylan and the kids."

"Thanks Will. Has Jay come in?"

"He's been here everyday. Dylan made him go home."

*Dylan's pov*

[I'm at the hospital working I walk by mom's room and see Will sitting next to her bed. I step in and say:]

"Will get out."

"Excuse me?"

"Get out."[he leaves I sit on the window bed Mom says:]

"Did you think about what we talked about last week?"

"I didn't come to talk about me and you."

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I had to save you! You almost died and I had to freaking save you! You have no idea how hard that was for me! But my problem with you is that you told me that Diego should've killed Carter as well as Christian! He was my son ; I will never see him get married or have kids or bring his first girlfriend home. I will never see him graduate. How could you say that about my children? He was my baby! My baby dammit! I'm pregnant and my fiancé is halfway around the world and I'm scared."

"You're pregnant?"

"Yea. Two months and a week."

"Congrats."

"I have to check on my patients."

"This was nice. Despite what you may think I am trying and I do love you guys. I'm sorry Dylan."

"If that helps you sleep at night."

[I leave I go into a storage closet and start crying someone comes into the closet they ask:]

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine just leave me alone."

"I can't do that Dr. Halstead."

[I turn around and see the guy who was talking to me last week I say:]

"Who the hell are you?"

"Not important. I'm just looking out for you."
