Learning to love Again(A Sandra Alva Fanfiction)

Chapter 17

Ashley was pacing back and forth in the hospital waiting room. It had been 2 hours and none of them had heard about Lynn or his childs condition. Sandra was asleep on the chair and the guys were on their way from playing a set in Los Angeles, which Ashley had missed due to an accident involving a broken nose. He was glad now that he had to miss it because he was with them when Lynn started to cough blood. A tired looking doctor walked out of the room Lynn was in and glanced down at his clipboard. He looked at Ashley.

"Mr. Purdy?"

"Yes, sir"

Ashley heard Sandra stir behind him.

"Lynn is stable, for a while we didnt know if she was going to make it, but it says here that she had cancer"

"Yes sir"

"We saw no signs of any cancer when we took her down for scans, nothing, not even traces of cancer, its possible that they saw something that wasn't cancer"

"how", Sandra asked

"well, the weigt loss could have been an affect of stress and the abdominal pain could have been an ulcer, whatever it was, its gone, she is going to be just fine, but i would encourage a second opinion"

"What about my child, she was pregnant"

The doctor looked at Ashley with a sad look

"Mr. Purdy, i cant tell you anything of your child right now, but i should advise you to not loose hope", with that, the doctor turned and walked down the hall. A nurse appeared behind Ashley and he saw that it was Bridgette, the nurse who had helped deliver Cassie and Damon. Ashley had had a rebound fling with her after Lynn had broken his heart.

"How is she"

"she's pregnant"

"Yeah, but how is she"

"who's baby"

"does it matter", Ashley was getting annoyed

"You're such an ass, i'm not even going to bother saying why, i think you know already"

"I dont", it wasnt a lie

Bridgette's hand moved down to rest on her stomach, which Ashley now noticed was larger than normal.

"Its not-"

"It's twins, and yes they are", Bridgette interrupted

"But we-"

"about three months ago"

Ashley remembered how upset he had been when he had heard Sandra and Lynn, when Sandra had proposed to Lynn. He had asked to take Cassie somewhere and had gone straight to Bridgettes. Her roommate had kept an eye on Cassie while they had done it. It was quick, and didnt last long, but they hadnt used anything. In his anger and frustration he had forgotten protection. Neither of them believed that they would get pregnant after doing it only once with nothing, so Bridgette hadnt said anything. Then Ash had gotten the phone call from Sandra about Lynn being in the hospital. Bridgette had tried to approach him there, but he had waved her off.

"I'm sorry, i dont know what to do"

"I'm sorry", Bridgette asked mockingly, "What do you mean you're fucking sorry, my life has been turned upside down because you cant keepit in your pants, and you're sorry, are you even going to take responsibility, are you going to help, are you going to be a part of her life"

Ashley grabbed Bridgette's hand and pulled her close to him.

"What are you doing, why-"

Ashley crashed his lips onto hers, interrupting her mid-sentence. Bridgette pushed him away and yanked her hand from his.

"what about Lynn", she asked

" her heart doesnt belong to me, but i won't miss my chance with you"

This time it was Bridgette who brought her lips to his. Then she pulled away again, teasing him.

"I'm working, call me later", she gave him one more kiss before walking back into Lynn's room. Sandra was smirking at him and he shot her a look intended to scare her into shutting up, but it only made her laugh.

"Dang, you're going to be a dad of three in just a few months, do you have any names picked out?"

"hahaha, very funny"

"Are you excited"

"Ecstatic"

The doctor returned once more and spoke to Ashley.

"Your children are doing fine, we noticed some cell irregularities in one of them, but its hard to tell this early on if it will end up affecting them"

"Them?"

"Yes sir, ms. Larsen is pregnant with twins, congratulations"

Sandra was laughing so hard she had to sit downto keep from falling over. Samuel, CC, Jake and Jinxx walked up to them at that moment and all shot a quixxical look at Sandra. Ashley felt sick to his stomach.

"What's wrong with you Sandra", Jake asked

"Ask mr. fertile over here", she answered pointing to Ashley

All of them looked over at Ashley.

"I'm going to be a dad pretty soon"

"A dad to four children", Sandra added in

Jake made a face.

"how is that possible", Samuel asked

"He got Bridgette and Lynn pregnant, and they are both carrying twins"

"well, shit", said a new voice. Ashley turned around to see Lynn in a wheelchair with Bridgette wheeling her.

Lynn smirked and so did Bridgette and then they both laughed maniacally, causing everybody else to start laughing. Pretty soon all of them were overcome with laughter and the whole waiting room was looking at them like they were insane. A few children joined in and soon the whole waiting room was erupted with laughter, a few people got pissed that everybody was laughing. Some people looked confused. Then, almost as soon as it had started, it was over. Everybody went back to what they were doing before.

Bridgette and Lynn were talking amongst themselves and comparing baby bumps. Ashley felt sick again. Bridgette's watch beeped and she hurried off to care for another patient. Lynn walked over to Ashley and hugged him, she had a huge smile on her face.

"What's making you smile", he asked

"Im screwed", she answered simply

"ha, im screwed"

"Nope, we both have four kids now so we're equally screwed, actually you may as well have 6 so..."

They both laughed. Sure, they were screwed. Their whole lives had been turned upside down, but at least they were alive. At least they were healthy, at least they were still friends.

"We are going to be just fine", Ashley thought

But were they?
