Lust and Lies

Recovery

Marla's pov

I was frozen in fear. I couldn't take my eyes off the door. I was waiting for the nurse to come and say he was okay and everything would be alright. We have had our ups and downs but I loved Kurtis with all my heart. He needed me and I needed him. This was my fault. I knew I should have taken him to the doctor when he started having pains and nausea. I knew I should have taken him I didn't know why I felt he was okay. He obviously wasn't. I just felt like everything was my fault.

I was dizzy. I couldn't feel my fingers from rubbing them together. I do that when I'm nervous. Everyone was off doing something to pass the time. It felt wrong to do that. So I just sat on the hard blue-gray chair with my elbows touching my knees. What if he went. What would I do? I couldn't live without him. I truly loved him with all my heart. He was the glue to this family.

I soon saw a women with dark blue scrubs on approach the doors leading out of the hall. She walked over and looked around until she spotted me. She came near me. When she spoke tears filled my eyes. I broke down.

Kristen's pov

Noah, Jerrah, Jayla, and I were sitting in the cafeteria eating chips when Marla walked in. I got chills down my spine when I saw her crying. She came over to us and hugged Noah then Jerrah. She sat down next to us and hesitated before she spoke.

"He's in recovery." She said with a humongous smile.

We all started to tear up and we hugged her.

"When can we see him?" I asked.
"Not now but soon." She said stealing a chip from Jerrah's bag.

He was going to be fine. Everything was going to be okay. He would recover and be out in no time. Then he would be there to see the birth of my child. This entire thing was stressing me out but that was for another day.

Authors note - sorry this was so short I'm doing a small time hop and I don't want to get anyone confused.

Question - Is Kristen to young to have a baby?
