The Italian's secret Love Child

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

Dante's POV

This morning I have wanted to wake Rose but didn't want to disturb her sleep.

She really hates it, so I wrote her a note and placed it in her make up box knowing she'd apply make up.

Pragnancy has really changed her alot before she had only wore a natural look and now she can't even go without mascara.

I'm about to go into a 5 hour long meeting and I'm waiting to hear from Rose. It's already 11 am and her appointment was at 9 am.

It shouldn't take this long right?

Should I call her first?

I've called mother to ask if Rose is at home already and was just avoiding calling me but that wasn't the case.

I tried calling her phone again but it's just ringing and then goes straight to voicemail.

"Rose please pick up."

I should have known she'd ignore me.

I called Marlene but she too didn't pick up her phone.

"Mr Costello we're about to begin in the conference room."

"Thanks I'll be right there."

Putting my phone on silent mode I head into the meeting room. Rose keeps coming to mind. I feel unsettled by this and the meeting is going at such a slow rate.

I look at my watch and I've only been in the meeting for 30 minutes.

A cellphone rings and everyone is looking around. My father removes his phone from his breast pocket. Lifting up an index finger the whole room quites down.

I look at him surprised, he never tolerated anyone who brought a cellphone in one of his meetings and here he is taking a damn phone call.

"What? Slow down dear. Tell me what happened."

The whole room looks at him. I too look at him but he turns his chair around.

"Rose?" His voice goes in a whisper.

Did he say Rose? What about her? I stand up and walk over to him. He looks at me with a sad face. I grab the phone from him.

"What happened!" I barked over the phone.

"She's been in a car accident." I hear my mother's voice breaking.

"What? Where? Is she alright? When did this happen?" I feel my legs giving in and my father pulls out a chair for me.

I ignore his gesture and walk to the door. He follows behind me.

"Where is she? Is the baby alright?" Please let the baby be alright.

"She's at Saint Anne's hospital please come quick." She cry out.

The phone falls from my hand and I run to the elevator pressing the buttons rapidly I wait for the doors to open.

"What happened? Is she okay?"

"She's at the hospital, mom didn't say I have to go dad."

"Wait I'll come with."

The elevator door opened and I stepped in.

"No you finish here I'll call you as soon as I hear anything okay."

When I stepped in the parking lot I was glad I took the Bigatti Veyron it would've atleast took me an hour and 15 minutes to get to the hospital but now I'll get there much sooner. I buckled up and drove as fast as the car allowed me too.

Relieved I got to the hospital safe and in one piece but with one hell of a traffic fine I ran into the hospital.

Reception...

Need to find a reception. I walked for 10 minutes before I spotted a reception. A nurse was busy on the computer screen.

"Good afternoon, I need to find my wife Mrs Costello. She was in a car accident and she's pregnant.

The nurse clicked on the computer.

"Follow me."

She walked fast and I was thankful for that because I needed to get to Rose. We went in the elevator and then we were on the 5th floor.

"Is my wife okay?"

"I don't know sir but I'll find someone who can give you answers." She stopped in front of a door and opened it slowly and I saw Rose.

I walked past the nurse to Rose. Tears fell down my face. She had tubes in her mouth and nose, a bandage around her head. I took her hand in mine and it felt cold.

I looked at the heart monitor screen and her heart was beating steady. I placed my hand on her stomach turning around to the nurse.

"Is the baby alright?" Please say the baby's okay.

She picked up the file attached to Rose's bed. I'll go find Doctor Savelli. She said and headed towards the door.

I sat down on the chair next Rose took her small hand in mine and cried.

I felt a hand againts my shoulder and looked up to find mother standing behind me. I stood up welcoming her embrace.

"Who did this? How did it happen? Did they get the one responsible for this? I'll kill them with my bare hands! I should've stayed... It's all my fault." I said sobbing.

I couldn't fight back the tears and just let it go.

"Shh... shh it's not your fault. A car crashed into them. The driver dragged her and Marlene out before it took fire. Marlene threw herself over Rose to minimize the blow of the impact to the baby. Marlene has broken her leg and broke a few ribs. Luckily Rose had a seatbelt on. She bumped her head againts the window when the car rolled over."

The Doctor walked in the room and started checking up on Rose.

"And the baby?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

My mother and the Doctor shared a quick glimse then she left the room. I looked at her in confusion what was going on?

"Dante please have a seat." He said showing me the chair I've just sat in.

I sit down slowly taking deep breaths. He closes the door then picks up Rose's folder.

"She suffered a small head injury. Glass cut into her skull. We had an operation and removed it successfully. I gave her pain killers and she went into lets call it a light coma. Her body was distressed and I did everything I could to get her to calm but it wasn't enough."

He paused giving me time to take in all the information. Hearing everything she went through the tears fall again.

She lost the baby...

I place my hand on the place our baby once were safely nestled in.
