Straight Outta 8 Mile

Chapter 12

We sat and waited for hours in the waiting room Lily had cried herself to sleep in my arms, I was just waiting to hear any news. I sat and thought about the last few months we spent together and how truely happy she makes me, I don't know what I would do without her I don't even want to think about being away from her for more than a few hours let alone go the rest of my life without the woman I'm so in love with.

Chelsey came into my life and completely turned it upside down, she has changed my way of thinking towards alot of things she has made me trust again, to care, to want to do better not only for her but for myself and she taught me how to love again and know what its like to have someone really truly love and care about you.  

I knew there was no way in hell that she provoked this, she isn't the kind of person to do that especially because I knew how scared she was of him she didn't deserve any of this but yet this guy has the balls to beat up a innocent pregnant defenseless woman it makes my stomach turn thinking about it.

 I wanted to kill him, for even putting his hands on her before we were together but even more so now, the woman I am engaged to be married too the woman who is carrying my child.

 I got ahold of my mom and told her what happened and she's on her way, she's going to bring Lily back to her place for the night so I could wait for Chelsey to get out of surgery. 

"Marshall?" Mom said walking over to us she sat down in the chair next to me, I handed Lily to her and filled her in about what was going on.

I try to be a strong person and not let people see me upset but I couldn't help it, I couldn't stop thinking about what would have happened if I would have been there, what if Lily didn't go to look out the window, what if the baby isn't going to make it, what if I lose Chelsey? 

"Mr. Mathers" the nurse called as she walked out into the waiting room, I felt my heart drop what would be said in the next few seconds I stood up and walked towards her anxiously. I just have to take a deep breathe, 

"How is she? How's the baby? Are they going to be ok?" I bumbarded her with questions but I had to know.

"Mr. Mathers, Chelsey has suffered from a collapsed lung, some broken ribs, broken leg we got her into surgery as fast as we could but there was a problem during the operation she lost alot of blood but we finally got her stabilized and she is going to be okay, she's going to be in recovery for the next few hours and stay a few nights for observation. Your baby has lost some oxygen but we are closely keeping a eye on it but at this time it doesn't look like any severe risks to the baby." The nurse explained, I felt a nine hundred pound weight lifted from me thank God they were okay.

"When can I see her?" I asked

"She is being stitched up and will be transported to the recovery unit soon and you can visit her there." The nurse told me, I thanked her turned and went to sit next to my mom I told her that they were both okay and their going to keep her for a while for observation.

My mom hugged me, it felt so weird because I almost felt we were drifting apart and tonight she showed me that she's still my mom and she does care about me.  

It was about 15 minutes later when the nurse brought me back to where Chelsey was.  My heart broke seeing her covered in bruises and scrapes I sat in the chair beside the bed and held her hand, she was still out from the medication I laid my head face down on her hand and began to cry.

I felt like I failed I was suppose to be the one to protect her and I didnt.  I still remember when we first started getting close she opened up to me and told me about her ex and how he was abusive,  I held her and told her  that everything would be ok and not to worry that I  would never let anything happen to her.  

I felt that I let her down it took every ounce of strength in me to not go find him rate now and do worse to him.  

After a while they moved her into your own room.

•Chelsey's point of view•

I woke up feeling drowsy I didn't know how I got here but I figured out I was in the hospital I looked around with my eyes, I looked down and saw Marshall sitting in the chair next to the bed with his head resting next to my arm his hand over mine.  

"Marshall?" I spoke faintly also trying to shake my hand enough to wake him up. 

"Marshall" I waited a second, he slowly started lifting his head and rubbed his eyes and realized I was awake he shot up.

"Chelsey, oh my God baby how are you feeling?" He asked running his fingers through my hair standing over me. 

"The baby?! Is the baby-"

"Shhhhh, the baby is okay baby its okay." Marshall tried to keep me calm.

" What happened?" I asked looking up at him, I could tell he had been crying his eyes were bloodshot red. 

"You broke some ribs, collapsed a lung and have a broken leg." He filled me in, 

"Baby who did this to you?" He asked already assuming he knew who it was. I look deep in his eyes and he could tell.

"Marshall, there's no way you could have known that Conner would come by when he did, you can't blame yourself for this. " I begged and starting to cry he leaned over and tried hugging me but knowing I was sore. 

"Chelsey I can not tell you how sorry I am!" Marshall started telling me. 

"Hunny, shhhh" I held on to him, I moved over in bed and had him lay in the bed with me, he wrapped his arms around me and we fell asleep in each others arms.

The next morning I woke up with Marshall sitting next to me he turned to me and told me good morning and gave me a kiss, he said the nurse will be in  in a little bit to check on me and the baby.

He wrapped his arm around me and told me that he did some searching and that he found a new house for us to move into we talked about it and decided that it was the best option even though money is going to be tight he talked me into it because it was the safest option for all of us.  

The nurse came in and checked on me and checked on the baby, we heard the heartbeat and I was so reaved.   After two days sitting in the hospital we brought up some ideas for baby names and didn't choose any yet,  I was finally discharged but I knew what that meant, Marshall was going to want to move rate away.
