His Forever

Chapter 11

I finally stop crying. The doctor walks in for Emi's check up. Ivan and I move out of the way.
D:alright so, he's just fine. He should wake up in the morning.
Y:thank you doctor.
He smiled and nodded at us and walked out of the room. We move our chairs back and sit down. I grab Emi's hand again. It's late and I start to feel tired.
Y:Ivan, you can go home now and get some rest.
I:what about you?
Y:I'm not leaving him.
I:what about the twins? What if they ask where you are?
Y: just tell them I had to go somewhere and I'll be back.
I:ok. See ya tomorrow.
Y:see ya.
I give him the car keys and he leaves the room. I can feel my eyes getting heavy. I lay my head down on my hands and close my eyes. Soon I fall asleep.

Morning

I wake up and my back and neck are hurting. Why did I sleep like that? I look at Emi and he's still not awake. I sigh. I get on my phone and scroll on Instagram.

The doctor walks in.
D:good morning Mrs.Martinez.
Y:good morning.
I move out of his way so he can check on Emi.
He seems confused.
D:he should of woke up by now.
He steps out in the hallway and comes back with two nurses. They look at Emi again.
D:oh no.
I start to worry.
Y:what is it?!
D:he should of woke up by now. I need you to go sit in the waiting room,ok?
Y:ok.
I walk out of the room and sit in the waiting room. I get a text from Ivan.

I:how is he
Y:he didn't wake up and now I'm in the waiting room. I'm worried
I:I'm coming
End of messages

After about thirty minutes,Ivan arrives at the hospital and sits in the waiting room with me.

Later
Nurse:Mrs.Martinez?
Ivan and I stand and walk over to the nurse.
Nurse:follow me.
She takes us to a room with nothing but a table and chairs. We sit down.
N:so,Emilio didn't wake up like he was supposed to. We did some tests and we think we found out what's wrong. Has he ever been on anesthesia before?
I:no.
N:well,we think he has had a reaction to it and it could possibly cause him to go into a coma.
We gasp and I try to hold in my tears.
N:I will be right back. We're going to run a couple more tests.
She leaves the room.
I can't hold in my tears any longer. I start to cry and I lean on Ivan's shoulder. He hugs me and rubs my back. I can't stand the thought that he might be in a coma.

A few minutes later

The nurse comes back in and I wipe away my tears.
N:so we've done some tests and I am very sorry to tell you but Emilio is in a coma.
I can't help but start to cry.
N:We're not sure exactly sure when he will wake up but we do know that it won't be anymore than two weeks. I'm so sorry.
I start to cry even more.
I:thank you.
The nurse gives us a warm smile and leaves the room.
Ivan comforts me. I hear him sniff and start to cry with me. I cant believe this. What am I going to do? What about the twins? What am I going to tell them?

I start to calm down and stop crying. Ivan and I leave the room and go back to Emi's room. We walk in and see him asleep on the bed. We walk over to him and I grab his hand. I start to cry again. Ivan hugs me and I can see the tears in his eyes.

A few minutes later

The doctor walks in.
D:hey. I just wanted to tell you that we are going to keep a close eye on Emilio so you don't need to worry about him. I recommend you go home and get some rest.
Y:thank you but I'm not leaving him.
I:come on Cassidy. I know you're tired. He would want you to go home.
I sigh.
Y:fine. But if anything happens!
I pointed to the doctor.
D:I promise we will let you know.
Y:ok.
I turn to Emi.
Y:see you tomorrow baby.
I kiss his cheek and let go of his hand. Ivan puts his arm around my shoulders and we walk out and go home.

Home
Em&A: Mommy!
Y:hey girls!
Em: where's Daddy?
Y:he's at a friend's house right now.
Em:oh.
A:when is he coming back?
Y:in a couple of days.Ok. Time for bed you two.

I take the twins up to bed in the guest room which used to be their room. Now there's just one king size bed instead of two little kids' beds. I get them changed into their pajamas and tuck them in. I go to the bathroom and change into my pajamas. I get in the bed in between the twins and try to go to sleep.
