Marriage Before Love

36

After a while, the hospital's waiting area was packed with Zanya's family and family friends. 

"Where's my God daughter" Simonique came pushing past Zane.

"With her grand parents" I nodded towards my in laws

She then turned from me and walked towards mom and pop. Mom looked up at her as she said 'hi' and her smile grew. They chatted for a while before they gave the baby to her.

Kyla began to cry and Simonique rocked her to and fro until the baby calmed. Just then, the doctor came back after running a few test on my blood sample.

"Mr Foster, we can proceed with the blood transfer." she informed "please, follow me" she started walking

I followed her to the emergency area and into a room. Above the door to the room was a sign that read 'Blood Transfusion'.

She sat me on a table, bed, thingy then started her work. When she was finished, I find that I was so week, I couldn't stand without toppling over.

"Mr Foster, you should sit and try to regain your strength" she said and I nodded, sitting back down.

"I need to see her" I said looking at her

"And you will... right after the Transfusion is finished." she replied and I sighed in frustration.

Three days, it took her three days to wake up. I cried, begging her to open her eyes, to no avail. I told her about the baby, how beautiful she is, I even confessed my feeling to her. I wasn't even sure if she could hear me, but I didn't care either. I wanted her to know. I just never had the guts to tell her while she's awake.

When she woke up I was surprised yet relieved. I could see her beautiful grey eyes looking at me. Though the best part of the day was when she told me she loved me too.
