Chapter 22

Welcome back to my story! :) A teeny tiny bit of information for those interested in updates: I started work so I'll most likely only be able to update on the weekend, BUT there will be at least 1-2 chapters each week and I PROMISE to finish the story. Enjoy :) x

After the doctor said those words, my heart stopped beating for a second. My whole world fell apart. My best friend died. She just left this world. But then, the doctor continued to talk.

Doc: "We were able to keep her alive, but she's in a really bad condition. If her heart stops beating again, I'm afraid we won't be lucky next time"

She's alive. I'm so relieved. Just a few seconds ago, I thought my best friend, my daughter's auntie, my other best friend's fiancée, is dead. Gray just stood there, sobbing, not saying a word.

"I-Is she going t-to b-be okay?"

Doc: "It's up to her. If she's strong enough and fighting, her body will heal and she'll be fine. Except for a few scars from the wounds or surgeries. I can't tell how long she'll be in a coma. Miss James could wake up tomorrow, which is very unlikely, or in a few months, or even years. But that's also very unlikely. I think it'll most likely be around 2 weeks up to 4 months."

Please Raina, wake up before your little niece is born. Gray needs you, I need you and my baby girl needs you as her auntie. Just wake up soon, I know you're strong. We went back into the room and sat down again, still crying, feeling worse than ever before.

I sat there the whole night and day, looking at Raina, crying every single tear I had and so did Gray. Every now and then, Ethan went to get something to drink or eat, but I wasn't hungry. I was too worried and emotionally unstable to eat anything. It was night again and Raina's heart was still beating. I guess that's something. If it stops again, she dies. That's what the doctor said. Well, basically.

E: "We should go home get some rest. You haven't eaten anything all day and you're stressed out, think about the baby"

"I'm not going anywhere"

E: "Babe, you know that's not what Raina would want. If she knew about our baby girl, she'd want you to rest, eat and be less stressed"

"I know, but what if something happens while we're gone?"

G: "I'll stay here. If anything happens, I'll call you"

"I don't wanna leave AT ALL but you're right. The baby has to be fine too and Raina would want that"

Ethan and I went back home but I felt miserable leaving Raina. What if she dies? What if she wakes up? I need to stop thinking, it's stressing me out and my gynecologist said I had to rest in order to keep the baby and myself healthy.

We were sitting on the couch, my head resting on his lap and his hands playing with my hair. For the first time since all of this happened with Raina being at the hospital and in a coma, I felt calm. At least a little.

E: "Did you think about a name for the baby yet?"

"Yeah, you?"

E: "Well I only found out two days ago and with this whole thing I didn't really have time to think about it. What names do you like most?"

"I like Belle, Sophia, Grace and Skylar"

E: "What about Skylar Grace? Skylar Grace Dolan. I love that"

"It's beautiful, I think we got a name for our little girl now"

E: "We can finally stop referring to her as 'the baby'. Right Sky?" He said, putting a hand on my bump and giving it a sweet smile. A small grin appeared on my lips. Even in this horrible situation, he still manages to make me smile. A few moments later, I fell asleep and so did Ethan.
