Love Isn't Always Fair (Sequel to Saviour)

Chapter 16

I just wanna apologise now for how long you have waited and how patient you all are. I know this is short, but I guess it's better than nothing though, right? I would just like to remind people, that I am still letting readers write their own chapters and send them to me for this book. If you are interested, then please just send me a message on here, and we can discuss it.

Andy's POV

I went back over to Ashley and sat there in shock.

"Everything okay, man?" I looked up at him and nodded. "Lizzie's pregnant... with twins." I couldn't get my head around it. Don't get me wrong, I happy, I'm over the moon, but it doesn't feel right to be happy about it, especially when I don't know what is going to happen with Liz.

"That's awesome, man, congrats" Ashley patted me on the back as I just sat there, staring at the ground in shock. I felt Ashley just watching me, and sat up straight. "I thought you would be happy about this?" I looked at him and shrugged.

"Don't get me wrong, I am happy, but what about Liz? She's lying there, motionless, not knowing that there is life growing inside of her, while her life is potentially slipping away. It just doesn't feel right." I sigh and stand up. I see a nurse come out of her room and rush over.

"Is it okay if I go in and see her?" I ask. She smiles at me and nods. "Of course, love, and try talking to her, she can still hear you. Give her something to fight for." At that, she walks away.

I look through the window on the door and frown, seeing the state she is in. I open the door and step in, closing it quietly, almost as if she was just sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up. I pulled the chair closer to her bed and sat down, grabbing her hand and bringing it up to my lips, kissing it softly.

"Come on, Liz. Fight this, I need... We need you to fight this." I place a hand on her stomach. Life, is growing right there. "You know how you had always said you wanted kids one day? Well that one day has come, we're going to be parents, we're going to have a family. This will be perfect, Liz, we just need you to fight." I gave her hand another squeeze, and just sat there, looking her over. I took a deep shaky breath and closed my eyes. I couldn't stand seeing all those tubes and wires around her, the needles stuck in her arms, the monitors around her, the beeping. The beeping was what I was focusing on, they were what was letting us know she's still here, she's somewhat okay.

Still holding her hand, I placed my head on the bed and closed my eyes, feeling myself slowly fall asleep as the door opened. I jumped up as a nurse came in. She smiled sympathetically and walked over, checking everything over. I sat back and let her do her job, as the door opened again, and Hayley and Jen came rushing in.

"Oh Andy, what happened?" Jen asked, rushing over and hugging me. I hugged her back and felt myself crying.

"She uhm... We were on the bus, we had just had some bad news about someone we both know. One minute we were both talking, the next she passed out and hit her head on the table." I looked back at Liz, and frowned, I couldn't stand seeing her like this.

"Is she going to remember everything when she wakes up?"Jen asked. I just shrugged and continued looking at Liz. "I have no idea, I think we're just going to have to wait and see when that time comes." I look up at Jen and Hayley, and sigh. "Hayley, is it alright if I just talk to your mom alone for a minute?" Hayley nodded and leant over Lizzie, kissing her forehead, and left the room quietly.

"Is everything okay, Andy? Is it more serious that what you first said?" She panicked.

I stood up and faced Jen. "Liz is uhm... she's pregnant... with twins." I looked back over at Liz, and heard Jen gasp. "Really?" I just nodded. "Oh congratulations. How long have you known?" I laughed a little. "Not long, not long at all." I look at Jen. "Probably, around 30 minutes." I grab the other chair in the corner of the room, and let Jen take the one I was just sat in. "The doctors found out when they were doing all the scans and that. Apparently, she's 12 weeks." Jen looked at me. "But?" "But I can't be happy yet until I know Liz is in the all clear. I don't want to go telling everyone, until she knows. So please don't tell Hayley or anyone. Only you and Ashley know at the moment." Jen nodded and turned to Liz.

"You're going to be a fantastic mother, Liz. Those two tiny little humans, growing inside you are going to be so lucky to have you as a mom, they really are. You just need to fight through this, for them, for Andy. I know you can do it sweetie, you've fought tough battles before, you can do it again."

The nurse that was previously in, came back in and stood at the foot of the bed. "I have some good news." She says softly. "Elizabeth, is responding much better and faster than what we were expecting, and we expect that she should wake up from this coma, within the next 24 to 48 hours." She places the clip folder back in the end of the bed and leaves.

"Liz you hear that? You're doing great babe, come on, keep fighting. We're waiting to see that beautiful smile of yours again." I grin and stand on her other side, holding her hand and kissing it. "I'll be back in a minute sweetheart, I just need to go and tell the others." I look to Jen, who nods, and stays in her seat, talking to Liz quietly.

I step out of the room, and go into the waiting area. I head straight outside and light up a cigarette, and place it between my lips. I deeply inhale, and let the smoke feel my lungs before exhaling. I lean my head back against the wall while I finish the cigarette, and then throw it on the ground, stomping it out with my boot and head back inside. I go and sit down with the gang.

"How is she Andy?" CC asks. Out of all the others, he is still the closest one to Liz, they had the sweetest brother/sister relationship.

"She's doing good, the nurse has just said that she is responding better than they thought she would and should be awake within the next 24 to 48 hours." I stand up and stretch a bit.

"I'm gonna go and get some drinks, anyone want anything?" I ask, looking round at them all. They all tell me what they would like and Hayley stands up. "I'll help you." I nod and we decided to go to the coffee shop, just across the street.

When we got there, I listed off what everyone wanted, and turned to Hayley to say what she wanted and what her mom would have. I handed over the cash and waited for them to make the drinks. I grabbed a few cup holders and placed them in when they were handed to us. Once we had them all, Hayley grabbed one while I took the other two.

"She is going to be alright, isn't she Andy?" Hayley asked as we got outside the hospital.

"Of course, she is. She's Lizzie, that girl can get through anything." I smile a little. Upon entering the hospital and reaching the waiting room, CC came running over.

"Jen just came over, looks like Liz is starting to wake up."

Without saying anything, I shoved the drinks into CC's hands and ran to her room, I flung the door open and rushed to her side. Jen moving out of the seat and letting me sit there, nurses around her as well, keeping an eye on the monitors, and ready to remove the tubes, when she does wake.

"Come on Liz, I'm here, I'm here with you every step of the way." I kissed her hand. "I love you, Liz."
