Life After Pretty Little Liars

Chapter 7

1 month later:
So far the pregnancy has been going good. Ian on the other hand not so much. He's been in and out of the hospital for a while now. I'm scared. Everyone is. For the most part, I had to do things alone. Even if he tried to get up, he couldn't. The doctor said he had a couple options for him, and unfortunately surgery wasn't one of them. He said it would be to risky to operate on him. I was taking care of him 24/7 now. The girls come and help me too when they can, even Troian, who is about to pop that baby out. Today we were at the hospital again waiting for news on Ian.
"Mommy?" Ariana asked me
"Yes, sweetheart" I sighed.
"Why don't I ever see daddy anymore?"
"Because daddy's very sick" I said, my voice wobbly.
"Will he get better?" She asked looking into my eyes.
"I don't know baby" I said tears running down my face.
"Don't cry mommy! Daddy will be fine! He loves us!" She said getting on my lap. She gave me a big hug and I cried softly.
"I hope so"
The doctor came out and said he might have the solution to his problems.
"What?"
" We now think it's safe to operate on him." He said smiling. I beamed back at him.
"That's amazing!"
"Yes, it is. But, we don't know how successful it'll be."
I nodded and kept listening to what he was saying.
"If you want to do this, we need to do it now" He said
"Let's do it" I said without any hesitation.
"Alright, you can go and see him for a bit" he said walking off. I grabbed the kids and walked to his room. On the way up the elevator, I texted the girls telling them to come to the hospital.
"WHY?! Is something wrong?" Troian responded
"They're going to operate."
"Oh good! I'll be right over"
All the girls texted me back in a matter of minutes, the same thing Troian said. The elevator stopped and let us get off before it's doors closed. I told Ariana and Cooper to be quiet before walking to Ian's room. Currently he was awake.
"Daddy!" Ariana said
"Hey sweetheart"he said grabbing her hand. Cooper ran to him too.
"Hey buddy" he said. I smiled and watched them laugh together. Troian came in soon after.
"Hey Ian!" She said
"Hey" he smiled weakly. I sighed. He wouldn't be able to talk much longer. Troian offered to take the kids outside while I talk to Ian. I thanked her and waited until they were all out of the room.
"Hey Shmian" I said walking towards him.
"Hey Lucy Goose" I gave him a hug.
"The doctor is going to operate on you tonight" I said pulling up a chair to talk to him.
"I know. I'll be fine" he said grabbing my hand.
"What if you're not?" My voice cracked
"I will be."
"How do you know? I cried burying my head into his chest.
"I just know. I couldn't leave you, no matter how hard I tried." I felt the tears fall down his face. That just made me cry harder. I felt him run his fingers through my hair while I cried.

Ariana's POV
Why was mommy crying? Was daddy okay? Were they okay?
"Troian? Is mommy okay?" I said pulling on her jeans.
"Yes, mommy is fine" She said.
"Why is she crying then?"
"Mommy has been going through a lot lately, she misses daddy"
"Why? We see him everyday?" I asked her.
"She needs him right now, just like you need sleep"
"Oh." I didn't know what to say. I wish mommy wasn't so sad.
"Let's go say goodbye okay?"
"Okay." We all walked into the room to say goodbye to mommy and daddy.
"Bye Mommy and Daddy!" I said giving them big hugs. Mommy started crying again.
"Why are you crying?" I asked her
"Nothing sweetie. Goodnight." Mommy said giving me a kiss.
"Bye Ari" Daddy said giving me a hug. Cooper said goodbye to them too before we walked to the car and drove home.

Lucy's POV
I looked over at Ian who was holding my hand.
"You okay?" He asked me.
" Yeah, just worried about you" I said stroking his hair
"Don't be. I'll be fine." He said.
"What if your not?" I said
"I will be. I promise. Come here" He gave me a kiss. I laid my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. I closed my eyes calming my fears of his surgery.
"You tired?" He asked me. I yawned and nodded.
"Come here" He pulled me onto the bed and grabbed my waist. I cuddled into is chest and took a deep breath. I could feel his fingers running up and down my back.
"Go to sleep baby. I'll be here when you wake up. I promise." He whispered into my ear. I nodded and closed my eyes, as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard him say something that made my heart break.
"Ayla, help mommy okay?" He said mentioning her name. I silently cried and prayed that I wouldn't lose him too. I couldn't.
"Goodnight Lucy." He whispered kissing my head. I knew that everything was going to be alright.
