Ben's pov
"Thank you Michael."I addressed my best friend who has agreed to take me home since I am a little bit drunk.
"It's no problem man,but make sure you go straight to your wife and apologize to her."Mike admonished.
"I hope she will forgive me,I didn't mean what I said."The thought of facing an angry Jane was sobering me up fast.
"Tell that to your wife and let's hope she forgives you even though you don't deserve it"
"I know, ok?"I don't know what came over me!"I groaned feeling sick all of a sudden.
"Come on Benny,we both know what came over you!"Mike snapped"You were jealousy of these Gideon character you keep on complaining about and instead of discussing it with your wife,you decided to act like an ass instead!"
I kept quiet knowing Michael was once again right.
"We're here and don't think of going to work until your wife forgive your stupid ass"Michael shouted at me as I got out of his car and made my way to the front gate of my house.
I made a quick walk to the house while thinking of what exactly I would say to my wife.I headed to her room since I couldn't find her in the living room but her purse was on the kitchen island so I knew for sure she was at home.
Getting to her door,I knocked softly after clearing my throat."Jane, please open up"I called softly.
"Jane,I'm so sorry for assuming things, please let's talk".
"Jane?"I know you don't want to see me but I'm coming in,ok?"
I opened the door and walked in to see the most gruesome image I never want to see again.There on the floor is my wife in torn clothes and her own pool of blood, looking pale and lifeless.
J-J-Jane?I rushed to hold my wife with shaky hands.
"Jane,baby?"Come on open your eyes" I couldn't think of anything else to do but hold onto my wife and miraculously wish I was dreaming or something.
"Ben!Where are you man, you left your phone in my car?"I heard Michael shout and that seems to spun me into action.
"Michael!Help me,I'm in here!"
Where?Which roo-
Shit!
What happened?!
Please,call for an ambulance!I bawled at Michael.
On it!He replied and I heard him telling our address to the other person .
I never felt so useless in my life,the only thing I could do was hold on to my wife."Ben,snap out of it man!"We need to meet them half way"Michael said, hooking me.
But what if,we move her wrongly,I bear to lose her man.I sobbed.
We need to take the risk!
Bring her to the front door,I'll go get the car ready.
I got up from my place on the floor beside my wife and picked her up with shaky hands.I headed towards out the front door and saw that Michael was waiting on me.I maneuver myself and my wife into the backseat with her head on my thighs while holding onto her colds hands and praying to God to save her.
It felt like enternity before we met the ambulance, and my wife was transferred into the vehicle and the medics asking me questions I have no answer to.I got into the ambulance with them and could only watch as they cut at the already torn gown my wife was wearing.
Sir, please she's going to be fine, stop crying.The medic lady smiled at me.
She's my wife, please save her,I sobbed out.
I know that Mr Franklin.
I could only pray for the best at this point.We eventually got to the hospital and was met by our family doctor, how he knew he was suppose to be here,I didn't know but I was grateful.They rushed Jane into the emergency room and I wasn't allowed any further.I sitting on the floor of the hospital corridor when I looked up to see my Mike on the phone and pacing the length of the corridor.
The doctor assured us,she will be fine sir.Yes, he's here sir.Mike replied to whoever it was he conversing with before disconnecting the call and walked up to me.
Hi,he greeted softly.
Hi,I replied hoarsely.
"I called Mr Moore and your daddy they both are I. They are probably on there way here with her family and your mum"
I forgot."Thanks man".
"It's no problem,you would have done the same for me"."The reporters are out there man,just so you know".
"Ok"A little while later, Jane's family and my parents arrived started asking questions I still have no answer to.Michael was the one reassuring them that she was going to be fine.They all relaxed after that until Jane's elder sister that I had only seen at the wedding briefly asked me where I was when her sister was dying?.
"I was at my company's party",I replied hoarsely and before I knew it, I received a resounding slap from Jane's younger sister with her crying about how I didn't deserve someone as good as Jane.
I'm sorry,I sobbed feeling my eyes well up again.
Sorry!Jacky shouted at me.Benjamin pray my sister makes out of that room alive or else!I'll-----
Jacky!Mr Moore snapped at his first daughter."Stop that and come help me calm your mother!".
I looked up to see Mrs Moore crying hysterical while my mum was beside her trying to calm her down.
Son, you've a lot of explaining to do.My dad said looking disappointed.
I didn't know dad,I-I----
Mr Franklin?Our family doctor called out.
I'm here,I walked hastily to meet him.
"She's awake now and asking to see you but I would like to see you before you go see her"
Doctor her family her here too,you can say whatever it is you have to say here.
Ok,Uhm your wife lost the pregnancy and she just needs to be under watch for a day or two before she can go home.
He lost me at pregnancy,Jane was pregnant?I felt the blood drain out of my face and tuned back to see her sisters and my mum and my wife's crying while Michael was muttering curses.
Clearing my throat."Thank you doctor".How many weeks was she gone?
Uhm,say a month.The doctor replied looking at me wearily.
A month after we had sex,I'm the worst bastard to ever exist.I was ignoring my pregnant wife for a month all because I was jealous of a stupid name!.
"Can I go see her now?"I asked the doctor.
"Of course sir,this way".He led me towards the ward my wife was in while our family was fighting over who would go in next.
I walked into my wife room with a heavy heart but was surprised to see her breaking into a beautiful smile as soon as she saw me...
