His Touch

Epilogue

It had been only a few hours out of the prison, Jayden had been murdered. I leaned on Ted and just stared in to thin space. He was chatting with his mum but i couldn't tell what it was all about. At last his mum touched my shoulder and i screamed.
"Jesus! Whats wrong?"  she asked making the sign of the cross. I just stared at her. A doctor was called and Moh and Darren came. My mind was messed up. Jayden's murder totally hit me off the balance. Why were people in my life being killed? What had we done as a family. I looked at Ted and cried even more. He was the only one who seemed to understand why i was in that state. He kept saying all would be okay.
************0000000******,

  I tried to lift my head but i couldn't. I then realised i was in a hospital, an oxygen mask on me. I unplugged it.
"Hey! Dont do that! You woke up at last!" i heard someone say. I couldn't figure out who it was. Then in came the familiar scent.
"Honey!"  i called.
"stay calm hun. Am here."  he replied. It all sounded like a whisper.
I tried to remember what had happened and then Jayden hit my mind.
"Jayden?" i asked as he helped me sit up and lean on a Pillow.
"Just tell her." the doctor said.
"Tell me what?" i asked.
"Its been three months sweety. You were in a comma. " i stared at Ted.
Three months! So i was like dead! I felt some sharp pain in my abdomen. I touched it and felt it was swollen.
" You are pregnant honey. Four months, one week. " he said as a nurse scanned my abdomen. She gave a sigh.
" The baby has turned at last! " she said.
" Is it a boy? " i asked amidst tears.
" Its a girl honey. We call her Nina like your mum. " he had done this to fill my mum's gap. I remembered i only saw mum when it was Christmas, and this was another due. Then she would read out our list of gifts we needed and made sure we each had what we wanted. That was the only time i felt her love. Those were moments i held close. I just cried.
"Its okay sis." Darren hugged me. I turned to Moh.
"I am gonna be a mum and you will check on my daughter's health. Welcome to the family."  i said.
"Thank you but he is not yet decided. It was just a proposal." she said rubbing her ring.
All the while Ted had kept himself busy with my school of law project. He was nearly half done when i was realised from hospital. Darren and Moh were having a really huge fight that we all thought it was over between them. But still she held on. Made my brother realise their relationship was not money based. I could feel Moh. Men thought ladies were after their wealth but there are the few who do it for love. Making Darren understand this took patience.
I didn't move in with Ted which really pissed him off. I remained at home enjoying his mother's meals. Each month i grew big and out of shape but Ted kept announcing everywhere we went that i was the sexiest woman with a baby bump!
I had laid down the topic on Jayden but i brought it up one evening. Ted left his meal on the table and left. His mum took his seat and munched in to the food he had left behind.
"Honestly, your coma was out of shock. Jayden's death. It crushed Ted, he thought you still loved the guy. But then we understand its all on this murder occurrences in the family. You need to let Jayden out of your mind, take care of Ted. My son needs you. Talk to him before he leaves. " Mrs shavi said as Ted showed up ready to leave.
" Hun, can we talk. " i asked. He nodded and placed his arm around my waist.
" I want to move in with you. " damn! Where the hell did that come from! He hugged me.
" At last! " he said
I literally slapped myself after saying this.
" Are you sure? " Darren asked from up stairs.
" Very. He is my all! "
