Dancer with a Broken Wing

Chapter 7

( Kyri P.O.V. )

My eyes fluttered open unconsciously and I sat up. My stomach felt sore like someone hit it. The first thought that went through my mind was that someone had hurt my baby and I got really scared. I grabbed my stomach and began to panic.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." someone assured from the doorway of the room. I looked up to find Dylan leaning against the door frame.

"Why didn't you tell me you didn't go through with the abortion?" he wondered aloud. I paused as if I was afraid to answer.

"I-I'm sorry Dylan. I didn't know how you'd react-"

"Kyri I told you I'd always be by your side, no matter what"

"I know but-"

"Kyri this is no different" Dylan explained, sitting on the end of the bed.

"But-"

"No buts, you're my bestfriend forever and always" he smiled softly hugging me tightly.

"Alright, that's enough". we broke apart to find Nick stand at the door. He glared at Dylan as he walked over to the bed. Nick kissed me on the forehead and Dylan pulled him away from me.

"Don't touch her" Dylan growled. Nick rolled his eyes and brushed my hair out of my face.

"Ky, are you ok?" Nick asked softly. I slowly nodded but stared at Dylan.

"Did Dylan do something to you?"

"Unlike you I don't take part in making Kyri miserable" Dylan commented.

"I've had just about enough of you" Nick sighed with irritation in his voice.

"I'm sure Kyri has had enough of you" Dylan growled. Just like that they started fighting again.

"Guys can you please not do this?" I pleaded. They continued as if I never said a word. "Guys please-" a sharp pain hit my stomach like a knife and I doubled over almost screaming in pain. They had finally stopped arguing long enough to tend to me.

"Kyri are you okay?" Dylan asked as Nick went to go get a nurse.

"No. I-" I was in so much pain I could barely breathe. A nurse rushed in with Nick close behind.

"Sweetie I need you to tell me where it hurts" the nurse said quickly.

"It's my stom-" another sharp pain hit me like around of lightning and I doubled over again. Tears formed in my eyes and through the cloudiness of them I looked down to find the white cover painted with blood.

I sat up quickly gasping for air with tears in my eyes. Dylan stirred in the chair beside the window of the hospital room as I began to cry softly.

"Hey what are you crying for?" He asked getting up from the chair.

"My baby's gone" I sobbed.

"No she's still there, all in one piece"

"But there was blood and-"

"You must've been dreaming, you were sleep a long time" he smiled.

"Then how'd you know I'm still pregnant?" I asked cautiously. He sighed and sat down at the foot of the bed.

"The doctors told me when I brought you here" Dylan's brows furrowed, his smiled faded and he paused. "Kyri why didn't you tell me you didn't go through with it"

"Dylan what did you want me to say, 'I've decided to go through with having my step-father's baby' ?" I cried desperately.

"What?". Dylan and I look towards the door to see A shocked Nick with a bouquet of lilies in his hand. His mouth dropped open and the flowers slid to the floor.

"Nick what are you doing here?" I said breathlessly. He staggered to my bedside, his mouth parted and he just stared. Silence filled the room as the three of us just sat there staring, that is until Dylan's phone rang.

"Kyri I'll be outside" he whispered giving Nick a death glare. As soon as he closed the door Nick started crying.

"I'm so sorry Ky" he sobbed "I didn't mean for this to happen" I stared at him confused. The man I thought was heartless and only cared for himself was crying in front of me.

"Nick-"

"I'm sorrier than I can show, please forgive me" he was on his knees now tears choking his every word.

"How can I forgive you, when you hurt me" I started crying too. Nick took my hand and held it while he cried into the bed sheets for another two minutes before wiping his eyes.

"Ky, please if you keep this child I'll do anything you want" Nick begged

"Nick I-"

"Please it's my first and possibly only child I'll have, please" I stares at his pleading face through the tears in my eyes but before I could choke the words out Dylan came back in the room.

"Kyri are you okay?" Dylan asked slightly angrily almost ready to rip Nick's head off. I took a long breathe and ran my fingers through Nick's hair.

"Yeah, I'm ok. It's just hormones" I said trying to clear my voice. "You might want to get use to it for about 7 months"

With that Nick perked up and a smile slowly grew on his face.

"You mean you'll keep it?" I nodded and wiped his eyes.

"Thank you"
