Chapter Seventeen

A few days after our intercourse (or should I say your intercourse) I got a call. It was just about seven in the morning.

Your name popped up on my screen I debated on going back to bed but I answered. "Is this Ashton Irwin? You're listed as an emergency call" a male's voice said.

I gulped. I was worried you had got in trouble or something. "I'm a doctor at Saint Charles hospital. Your girlfriend is resting here. I'd like to talk to you personally about her condition"

Condition? What the hell happened, what did Luke do? I swear if he hurt her. "I'll be down there in a few," I told the man. I picked up my boxers off the floor, tugged on my sweatpants and shuffled around the women's clothes to find my shirt from last night.

Don't think of me as an asshole, I went to a club yesterday and I haven't had sex in a while. If I wasn't going to have grace. I might as well get laid by another or two.

Their names were Busty Brit and Kinky Kaite. I slipped on my slippers and ran out the door of my mums house.

As soon as I got in the hospital I went straight to the front desk ignoring the line. "What room is Grace Goldstein in?" I question and the chunky lady in the seat glared at me.

"Sir I need you to get in the back of the line," she tells me. "Yeah and I asked what room is Grace Goldstein-" before I get to finish a doctor walks out.

"Are you looking for miss Goldstein?" He asks and I nod walking to him. "Your mister Irwin I suppose" I nod again. He allows me past the doors into the recovery room.

What the hell happened to grace was all I worried about. Did Luke hurt her? What about her baby?

"Is the baby okay?" I ask he doesn't say anything but turns into a room. Grace lays in bed, she's asleep and hooked up to an Iv.

"She has had a miscarriage her friend was just here. She dropped her off apparently they were out to dinner when she felt a wetness between her legs and had extreme pain in her abdomen."

"I'm sorry but the baby is gone, " he tells me. I'm sure he expected me to be devastated but I couldn't give two shits.

I wasn't the father, why the hell am I even here? Maybe because I'm so in love with her. "Do they know what caused this?" I question watching you sleep so soundly.

"There's a weakness of the cervix. It's called cervical insufficiency. It can't hold the weight of a baby" he tells means I nod.

"Is she okay? What will happen to her?" I question and he shrugs.

"She went a little crazy when I told her we couldn't save the baby. We gave her some pain and sleeping meds. Some people go through depression with there first" he tells me honestly.

He grips my shoulder  "if you have any more question I'm right out the door" He says. I walk over to her.

"Grace" I whisper pushing her hair out of her face her eyes flutter open.  "Hey, babe" she smiles weakly.

"Where's luke?" I ask and she shrugs when laughing. "Maybe basketball practice" she giggles.

I look over to her pain med iburophin and Vicodin. "How are you? Are you okay?" All of a sudden she pouts.

"You try losing a baby," She tells me. "I'm sorry Grace. You don't deserve this" I tell her kissing her forehead squatting down so I'm eye level with her.

"I do though, I cheated on Luke so this is my karma" she cries and I shush her. I slide into bed next to her and have her cry fisting my shirt.

"Where's luke" I question again and this time she sobs harder. "He's cheating to Ashton," she tells me and I bite my lip.

"Baby" I hear a voice rush and I jump from my position. It's Luke "I'll give you five-second head start before I pound your face in" I threatened him and he gulps.

"Gracie, please I'm sorry " he starts that's when I start counting down. I wasn't in the fighting mood but if he wasn't going to go maybe I would fight.

Graces hand moved around the bed, that's when I notice the remote with the red button. She pressed on it.

The doctor walked in "hello ms. Goldstein good to see your awake. How are you feeling?" The doctor question.

"Can you please get security to get this man out of my room" You gestured to Luke. A smile found its way upon my lips.

"Right away ms. Goldstein" he smiled escorting Hemmings out of the room. "Are you guys over now?" I ask you to nod quietly.

"It's been over for a while" you tell me sliding off the engagement ring.
