Unexpected Romance // Alex Aiono

Chapter 17

Oh No No No this can't be happening

“Stay here sir, she is being taken care of but in this process you need to relax. We will do all we can to save the mother, because without her the baby will be gone.”
Pushed out of the room I see doctors and nurses trying to keep her stable. I fell to my knees with my head in my hands praying that everything will be okay. Wishing and regretting ever getting her into this mess in the first place. It all started with me, the first hello, and maybe my last goodbye..
seconds, minutes, hours nothing seemed to change. Everyone saying “she’s gonna be okay” but by the looks of it.. I’m scared.
I decided to take a walk, clear the regret building up in my head. I can’t bare to watch my love, and child be operated on.

I stepped out of the hospital hearing sirens, crying, yelling, screaming or maybe it was all in my head, the noises. I walked down the sidewalk watching my feet as I go.

“Could this be it?”
Is the only thing in my mind, with tears coming down my face. Bumping into people as I pass with no intention of saying sorry, walking to a place of an unknown destination.  Coming to my sense of what is happening, who have I become? Why? How? So many questions with no answers.
I see couples as I pass, happy as can be.  I see lovers walk these streets, with smiles as they go by.
I see babies in the arms of one couple, while they play with her in her stroller.
I continue down the sidewalk until I find a park. I sit on the bench and watch as people go by. I feel numb..numb to the existence, numb to the movement and sounds. Like a ghost lurking on his next victim, except that victim is the one inside of me.

A few minutes pass then the bench becomes uneven.
“You know it’s a lovely day out, but you can’t even see with those tears in your eyes”
I don’t bother to look up but continue fiddling with my hands lost in my own thoughts.
The voice is soft, reminds me of hers..
“Mute I see, well that’s okay I have a lot to talk about.”

“I remember when we first met oh my god I was so scared to say hi to you. You gave me butterflies." I look over and I see her my love sitting next to me.
"BABY? WHAT? how are you here?"
I hear her giggle alittle seeing and hearing her laugh is what I needed.
"Alex baby I think you should go home and rest I'll stay here with our little girl" what the hell is going on? "Baby what are you talking about we don't have a baby yet"
“Alex, yes we do she’s playing on the slide”
I looked over to see my beautiful baby girl going down the slide running towards us. I placed her on my lap pushing the hair out of her face and smiled then left a kiss on her forehead
“Alex..”
“Yes baby”
“ I think it’s time we show her”
Alex
“Are you sure?”
"Yes babe she should know about her family"
We all began walking hand in hand to a familiar rode, when we reached the street it seemed everything remained the same. The flowers were blooming and beautiful, everything was clean and untouched.
“Mommy, where are we?”
Picking her up and giving her some alone time.
“Baby, let's give mommy some time alone. This is where mommy’s parents used to live. When you get older you will understand but for now this is a place of very special memories. This here daddy built for mommy to show her how much he loves her and that I was sorry for everything he had done to her.”
“Huh?”
“When you are older baby.. just know I love you and mommy more then I love Myself”
Then I feel a hand on my shoulder
“And we love you just as much” her voice rang through my ears.
I turned around to look her in the eyes but no one was there. I looked back down in my lap and my baby was gone, the tears began to fall again just hoping everything is okay.
Sitting in this park made me think alot.
“ hey.. I know I’m the last person you want to hear from but just hear me out” as silence approached and the sun was beginning to hide I took a deep breathe.

“ it’s been a while hasn’t it and a lot went on.. I wanted to do this the right way, I never meant to fall for her but I’m glad I did. I never wanted to hurt you, when you came to work for my dad I always saw you as a friend. Differences aside I did this because I was forced my father was a bad man, but I am not him. I love your daughter, and I miss you guys.. this is all my fault. I promised you, I promised if anything were to happen that it was my job to protect her. I do not break a promise. Remember the letters I left you. I hope you read them by now on your spare time. Just know I am not going anywhere but I will do my duties as a boyfriend and dad. I know while she’s on the operating table you are watching over her.” As a single tear fell to the ground I uttered one last time
“I’m sorry..”
The night was crawling, the wind was singing, I got up and walked away til I remembered I had one last thing to say
“I know you won’t answer me back like I wish.. but will you give me your blessing of marrying your daughter?..”

With that I walked in silence, with the moon in my presence and stars as my guide to find peace with myself. To find peace with what I caused. 15 minutes later The painful sounds came back to my ear as I approached the hospital, beginning to think this isn’t just a dream. I slowly walked to the room in no rush to find out nothing has changed. As I approach I see two familiar figures come my way, but as I was closer they started to fade. They were standing outside her door, as I turned the knob I feel a burst of energetic flow through my body.
I opened the door the rest of the way so I can see into the room with the sounds of a sudden beep every second
There she was, beautiful as ever.
Doctor
“Excuse me sir?”
I turn around to the voice dressed in scrubs
Alex
“Yes”
Doctor
“She truly is a fighter..”
Alex
“Believe me” I took a pause to admire my baby in bed sound asleep. “I know”
Doctor
“Everything is okay, she is more stable then before and the baby is doing just fine as well. I think she is a miracle.”
Alex
“They are my miracles. Thank you so much doctor”
Doctor
“Oh please call me Doctor Michelle King" oh my god Michelle was her moms name it's strange that her mom's name was Michelle and now the lady that saved her has the same name.

As I sit by her bedside talking to her holding her hand. "Baby with the strength of our love we can go nowhere but up it's a big world and I'm going to show you and our baby all of it" Being here with her like this hurts me I have to get the love back that we once had.

A sudden move from the bed gathers my attention as I see her beautiful brown eyes appear in a flutter.
“BABY!” I whisper in a shout making sure to not startle her in any way.
She turns her head at me and forms a weak smile while lifting her hand up placing it on my face. She then looks at her stomach realizing our miracle is okay.
“ listen”
“Shhh” she cuts me off in not wanting me to apologize once more for now the silence that has over come us is perfect. Until someone Entered the room.
Ex
“Baby Are you ok?” she see's her ex and I can tell she is scared of what he might do.

Alex
Baby I'll be back don't worry everything will be ok. Man lets talk in the hallway. “HOLD ON! No, MAN. YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH TO BREAK HER APART SHE  DOES NOT WANT YOUR APOLOGIES. SHE DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU AFTER YOU HURT HER. YOU SCARE HER, HER AND OUR BABY ARE BOTH JUST FINE. GO BACK TO WHATEVER SAD LIFE YOU WERE LIVING AND TAKE THOSE PATHETIC ROSES WITH YOU..THEY AREN'T EVEN HER FAVORITE ANYMORE.”

Ex
What do you mean baby? She doesn't want your baby. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MINE.

We began to shove eachother my anger was starting to get the best of me letting everything I had built up inside out. As she laid on the bed astonished by our actions.

Doctor
"Guys you have to stop or leave she doesn't need that kind of stress right now"

Alex
"I'm sorry doctor but he shouldn't be here she's afraid of him"

Doctor
"Ok Mr. Aiono I'll have him removed immediately".

After all of that drama I just sat by her side for hours and I didn't leave. I watched her while Kennedy told her stories and it was sweet watching them laugh she's going to be a great mom. After everything we've been through I wanted to write her something not sure she will like it but it's worth a try to make her smile.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awhile has passed she loved what I wrote her I honestly feel so bad about everything I've done. I don't deserve her at all I have to make everything the way it was.

Sorry guys I know it's been awhile and I know this chapter might suck but the next chapter will be better
