behind those walls

Chapter 10

An hour has went by and still I knew nothing. I had called Daniel and he was on his way from work. many other nurses walked by and still they told me nothing.

Timothy~ "listen lady if you don't tell me how the young lady in there is found I'm going to go crazy!!"

I finally went of on the nearest nurse I saw.

Nurse~ "listen young man she's in critical condition cause of the premature baby and we have to make sure they both come out of there safe. so if you would excuse me I have to get back in there."

I sat back in the chair. 'she's I'm critical condition' is all that was going through my head. I sat there running my fingers the ought my now messed up black hair. I was brought back to reality when someone tapes me on my shoulder.

Daniel~ "hey is she ok?

Timothy~ "she's in critical condition, cause of the premature baby"

We sat there in silence. the only thing making noise were people sitting there but they were also quiet. and the rare phone calls people got. other than that it seemed nearly dead. I couldn't take it anymore!

I proceeded to mess win my hair and then eventually decided to stop before I pulled out every last piece of hair I had. I then went to taping my foot and tuning my fingers through the scars on my wrists. remembering what had happened with my parents and the accident made me want to just start crying, but I didn't because I had to be strong for iris. 30 minutes went by and finally the doctor came out

Doctor~ "Iris's family?"

Daniel and I quickly jolted up from our seats and in a matter of seconds were asking lots of questions.

Doctor~ "ok ok one at a time"

Daniel~ "is iris ok?"

Doctor~ "she is very weak but she will recover."

Timothy~ "what about the baby?"

Doctor~ "the baby is fine. we have her intensive care. she is also very weak."

Daniel~ "but will the baby be ok?"

Doctor~ "I don't know"

Timothy~ "what do you mean you don't know? aren't you a doctor for crying out loud! your supposed to know this stuff!"

Doctor~ "yes I'm a doctor but I can tell you if she will respond to the medication. her lunges are not fully grown which means he has to be on forced air. she is also very weak from being born premature"

Daniel~ "what are the chances of her surviving?"

Doctor~ "there very low"

Timothy~ "well do what ever it takes for you to get that baby to be ok!"

Doctor~ "were doing the best we can. Now I have to leave. let the nurse lead you to the room the young lady is being sent to and then show you to the baby."

With that he walked of. I couldn't take it I looked Daniel and walked/ran outside screaming at the top of my lungs I started throwing the nearest thing to me. which luckily it was a glower pot. I shattered and went all over the cement floor. before I could get my hands into something worse Daniel walked out and grabbed me. he hugged me and I tried to get him to let go but he wouldn't budge. I eventually gave in and cried.

Timothy~ "that's not fair! she didn't do anything to deserve this! iris is the sweetest most kindest person in the world! why is this happening to her!?"

Daniel~ "it's going to be ok now if I let you blog will you go back to destroying stuff?"

Timothy~ "no I'm good now"

He let me go and I sat on the bench and just stared at the stars. I can't handle iris and the baby feeling bad. they have to be ok! Daniel came and sat beside me. he just sat there hoping I would say something. but I couldn't this was all to much for me.

Daniel~ "come on Timothy lets go talk to her."

Timothy~ "ok"

We walked back into the hospital, asking the lady were iris was at she lead us down the log hall turning into another hall. going up an elevator and another long agonizing walk down a hall. finally we made it a room.

Nurse~ "she's in her. now when we go in try being quiet she's very weak also don't make her talk to much."

Daniel~ "ok thank you"

We slowly walked into the room. iris was laying on the bed her stomach barely moving. her face was so pale and white. she looked nearly dead and that made me feel terrible.

I walked over to her and moved a chair close to the bed. I sat down graving her hand I just rested my face on her hand and whispered,

Timothy~ "iris come on. we have to get you out of here. your baby is waiting for you. come on open those beautiful blue eyes I want you and me to go get you.... our baby."

I just sat like that till I felt her weak hand squeeze mine.

I quickly jerked my head up. yes! she is ok she can hear me.

Timothy~ "iris I know you can hear me. now hurry up and get ready we have to decide on a name for our baby"

Yea I know that it's not my baby. but guess what from the day iris told me she was pregnant I mentally adopted her ok so she's my baby to.

Iris gave a weak smile and that was all I needed to know she would be fine.

Daniel had to leave later that night. because he had work early the next day. yea I had go to work but I was just gonna call Marc and tell him iris was in the hospital. hopefully he would understand.

The next morning I woke up to doctors coming in and checking on iris.

Timothy~ "is she ok?"

Doctor~ "well she seems to be better than she was last night and she is responding well to the medication we put her in. I'm pretty sure ins couple of days she will be ready to go."

Timothy~ "what about the baby?"

Doctor

~ "well she is premature and very weak. her lungs are also not fully grown."

Timothy~ "yea I know that! but will she be ok?"

Doctor~ "she just has to be a strong baby. if everything goes well in about a month the baby will be ready to leave the hospital"

Timothy~ "oh ok thank you."

Doctor~ "are you the baby's dad?"

Timothy~ "well I'm not the sperm donor. but I am the dad."

Doctor~ "oh well you'll be a good dad. I can already tell."

He walked out of the room leaving me alone with iris. I decide to text Marc just to be sure and if not I would have to leave.

T- hey Marc it's me Timothy my girlfriend iris she had her baby and is in the hospital cause it premature and both her and the baby are weak and have to stay in the hospital for a few days. is it ok if I have a few days off work?

M- ok that was unexpected but I understand my wife had her baby a couple months ago and she had to stay in the hospital. I know what your going through. yea you can stay out as long as you need. your just gonna have to make up for it.

T- thank you so much!! and yes I will as soon as iris and the baby are out.

I remembered I hadn't told Emily her niece was born. I figured since she was in school to just call her when she was out. I got up realizing I was starving. I was just about to walk out when a familiar voice caught my attention.
