🤰🏽 25 Weeks

DAKOTA POV

Tomorrow was my birthday.

And Ethan was still in a coma.

I haven't been able to sleep, I've only been eating for this baby, and I cannot focus. I've felt not a single ounce of attraction for anyone. No man, no woman. All I've ever wanted was Ethan. All I've ever needed was him.

For my birthday I was just gonna go see Ethan, listen to some music, basically the same thing I've been doing for the past 4 months and 5 days.

One of the doctors had suggested that I just pull the plug. A hating ass doctor. I'll beat that bitch ass if I see her out of those fucking scrubs.

I pulled up to the hospital and got out. I entered the hospital and signed it and went to Ethan's room. Before entering I said a small prayer, just asking for forgiveness and a miracle. I do it most times in hopes of opening the door to my baby being awake.

I turned the knob and opened the door to see Ethan, laying there.

Still asleep.

I sighed and held back the tears that I felt coming.

I sat next to his hospital bed and just stared at him.

I leaned forward and kissed his forehead.
"I love you. Ethan Michael Martinez, I've never stopped loving you. Not even for a second."

As I poured my heart out I grabbed his hand gently and intertwined our fingers. I held his hand, but he couldn't hold mine back, seeing as his current condition.

"I think about you everyday, baby. I don't know if you can keep track of time or anything but it's 11:30, and my birthday's tomorrow. I'm not asking for anything but I just want you to know I love you, forever."

His fingers bent, and his hand held mine.

I looked at his face and it held a slight smile.

"Oh baby. My fucking baby."

I kissed his forehead again and held his hand.

I wiped my tears away and laid my head on the hospital bed.

📍Dakota and Raquel's House

RAQUEL POV

Dakota has just gotten back from the hospital, visiting Ethan for her birthday. She was really tired so she went straight to sleep.

It's around 12:30, I really couldn't sleep so I said I'd wake her up early in the morning, so we could see Ethan. Jake's sleep in the bed next to me, and Dez is downstairs in the game room.

I was scrolling down my instagram timeline when I'd gotten a call. I saved the hospitals number so I knew it was them when they called.

"Hello?"

"Hi. May I speak to the immediate family of Ethan Martinez?"

"Speaking."

"Well, I have some very good news for you."

My face lit up and I began getting out of my bed.

"Ethan's no longer in a coma, he's awake, and doing very well."

I screamed and began tearing up.

"Thank you so much!"

She giggled and we wrapped up the conversation.

I ran into Dakota's room and grabbed her, giving her no time to wake up.

"ETHAN'S UP!"

She jumped up and looked at me with the craziest look.

"RAQUEL WHAT?"

"ETHAN'S UP!"

We ran to Dez and Jake, yelling the same thing repeatedly.

-

We jumped out of Dakota's jeep and ran into the hospital.

DAKOTA POV

The lady behind the desk looked up from her computer and examined us.

"Here to see Ethan Martinez?" She smiled, she seemed very excited, like she'd been waiting for us.

We nodded and we ran into his room.

He was laying there, watching TV, with a very blank expression, until he noticed us.

His blank expression turned into the hardest smile I've seen since his birthday.

My eyes instantly filled with tears as he sat up and opened his arms for a hug.

I ran over to him and basically jumped on him.

"It's a fucking miracle. Literally."

"Happy Birthday, baby. I love you so fucking much man."

I smiled at the fact that he knew.

"How are you feeling baby? You're 19!"

"No, no, how are you?"

"I'm doing really fucking good man. I get to wake up from a damn 4 month long nap, and see you. Beautiful ass."

I blushed at his compliment and kissed his forehead before sitting next to him.

Jake moved from behind Raquel and walked in front of Ethan's bed, so he could see him.

Ethan's eyes filled with tears as Jacob walked next to his bed.

Jacob looked down at his feet, he felt like the coma was his fault and he took a lot of the blame for it.

"Man, come here!" Ethan yelled, grabbing Jacob's arm and pulling him into a hug.

"I'm so sorry, Ethan."

"Shut up nigga. Just shut up." They hugged for what seemed like forever, and eventually Jake shed a tear.

JACOB POV

I don't know why but I did keep blaming myself for the coma.

I think all the time, if I would've kept my hands to myself, could this have been prevented. I was acting like I've never cheated on a female before.

But the thing is, I'm a real ass person. And if you do something shitty to somebody I love or care about, it pisses me off. And if I feel like justice isn't being served, I take matters into my own hands. I regretted this though.

I'll never forgive myself for this.
