Love Is Such A Strong Word

Chapter 16

Joe's POV

I gripped onto Isabelle's hand, kissed it and began to whisper for only her ears to hear.

"Isabelle I love you, I know I'm a Barstard for staying out. But..but I don't know what I'm going to do if you don't wake up. Then there'd be no point any more."

Tears began to drop onto her angelic face. Then suddenly her eyelids begin to flicker. Then her blue eyes come into full presentation.

A massive grin swept across my face.

"Isa..Isabelle?"

Instantly I bent down to kiss her. Her soft lips cascading over mine, fixing my heart back into place.

"Isabelle we need to get a doctor to check on the baby." Olivia told her. She nodded as Olivia went to go get a doctor.

Olivia's POV

I ran to go get PJ.

"PJ! PJ!!"

He instantly came over to me and embraced me.

"What's up??"

"Isabelle's awake! We need to check on the baby!"

PJ grabbed Dan and Phil and rushed after me.

"Hello Isabelle how are you feeling today?"

"Still a bit dazed but I need to make sure my baby is okay."

"Fair enough."

I grip onto Isabelle's hand and Joe holds onto the other as they rub the gel onto her oversized stomach. Then suddenly PJ'S face runs pale.

"Isabelle we're going to have to take you into surgery really quickly."

Joe's face loses all colour and grips onto Isabelle's hand more ferociously.

PJ quickly wheels Isabelle into the surgery room with Dab and Phil not far behind, Joe running beside. Casper puts his strong, muscular arm round me as my face falls into my hands and the tears stream as sadness and worry overrules my body.

Isabelle's POV

My baby wasn't okay. That was blatantly obvious. Joe was scared to death. He was crying next to me as I began to fell into darkness yet again.

The next thing I know I was waking up in the recovery room. Joe, Casper and Olivia was all there. And my belly was killing me.

"Where's my baby?!??!"

Joe intertwined his fingers with mine.

"She's in the intensive care unit sweetheart, our little Cassie is here. But she's a lickle bit poorly. She's isn't doing very well. So the doctors are keeping an eye on her. You're poorly as well though sweetheart. They're are a lot of broken bones we need to fix."

"I DONT GIVE A FUCK I WANT TO SEE CASSIE!"

Olivia nodded at Joe as she brought a wheelchair over to the bed. Casper and Joe then elegantly placed me into it. Olivia then wheels me through brightly lit white corridors. That all smelt and look the same. Till eventually I was wheeled into a room with about 4 small incubators. Most of them surrounded by 1-2 people, crying. Until I got to the very last one.

And in that small plastic cot was the most beautiful human being I'd ever seen. My beautiful Cassie. She looked exactly like Joe, yet she had my Dad's eyes, my eyes. My big, blue eyes. Wires were coming out of her little, pink body. Cassie was so defenceless. She'd been brought into this world with so many problems. Yet she'd done nothing wrong. The clothes Joe had brought in for her were so big for her. A caramel coloured onesie with a teddy bear in the corner. It drowned her out. Little, feeble hands barely being able to escape the gigantic sleeves.

My beautiful Princess.

There was a small hole in the side for me to stick my hand through. As soon a I had pushed my hand through she gripped onto my finger. Clenching with barely any strength, yet probably all the strength she had.
