" ms Mills, you will be giving birth in about 3 weeks " said the doctor.
I was standing beside her holding her hand. She stood up and we were on our way out of the hospital when suddenly a lady stopped me.
" Emma! " said Laura
" Laura ? " I said shocked.
" nice to see you again! " she said winking.
I couldn't even speak, the words got stuck in my mouth.
" excuse me, who are you ? " asked Regina.
" I am Laura "
" and how do you know Emma ? "
" oh we met in a bar some days ago and we had a beautiful night, are you her sister ? " she said.
Regina looked at me in shock. I saw tears in her eyes then she left my hand and walked away.
" Regina .. Regina wait please "
I catched her arm and stopped her.
" Regina "
" Emma please leave me alone, please "
" Regina I can explain "
" explain what ? That you fucking fucked another woman ? "
" it was a mistake "
" Emma you are making this worse, leave me "
" Regina li- "
And before I could finish the sentence she slapped me on my face. Her eyes were red and I have never seen Regina so angry before.
" okay, I still wanna talk "
" do you want to be slapped on the other cheek ? "
" Regina please, for our baby "
" you betrayed Henry and our baby, Emma "
She said this then she left.
I went home at the end of the day and as soon as I entered the home I called her name but there was no answer. I went to the kitchen and I found a paper on the fridge.
" Emma,
This is not to blame you for what you did. It is clear that there was something wrong in me that made you go sleep with another woman. Emma I have about 3 weeks left alive, I need to live them in peace. I love you so much but this really hurt me, you broke my heart Emma. I took Henry and we went away, please don't search for us. I didn't ask you for a divorce because I want to die as your wife.
Take care of yourself Em.
The tears that came down my cheeks were uncontrollable. I couldn't forgive myself that I did this to Regina. I know I did this in a time when she was acting weird but this is not an excuse for me. I should have supported her in her illness and instead if this I went to sleep with another woman. I couldn't even think where can she be.
2 weeks had passed since I last saw Regina. I spent these 2 weeks drinking literally everyday. I was drinking too much that I lost count on days.
My phone rang and I grabbed it to answer.
" hello " I said.
" ms Swan-Mills ? "
" yeah what's wrong "
" I am the doctor from New York's hospital, ms Regina Swan-Mills is giving birth and we need you to come to donate your blood because she is not okay "
" what the hell does this mean "
" just come please "
I quickly put my jacket on and ran to my car, I drove as quick as possible and I made it to New York.
" Regina Swan-Mills's room "
" 504 "
I ran to her room and when I went in I saw her. A pale yellow face and a pale body, looks like she haven't eaten something in 3 days.
" Regina, Regina I am here " I said trying to hold her arm. " why isn't she answering me ? "
" your baby is safe "
" I AM ASKING YOU ABOUT REGINA "
" I am afraid she couldn't make it, we did our best, I am sorry "
I lost conscience and fell down on the ground.
I woke up in a white room and I was having a strong headache.
" Regina, where is Regina " I said.
" calm down ms Swan-Mills you need to rest "
" where is Regina ? Tell me where is she "
" she is in a comma, we don't know if she is going to live. I am sorry "
Tears went down my cheeks and I saw Henry standing out of the room.
" Henry, come here "
" why did you cheat on her, mum ? Why did you do this ? " he said.
" I am sorry, I am really sorry "
" apologize for her when she comes back "
He said then he left the room. I cried more and couldn't stop myself.
" I wanna see my wife "
" ms Swan you need to rest "
" I am okay, just take me to her room "
They took me there and there were only me and her in the room as Henry went outside as soon as I entered the room.
" I can't find words Regina. I - I am sorry for everything. I can't even imagine that I won't be able to see you again. Regina don't leave me please, I can't. I can't raise Henry and our baby without you, I can't live without you. Regina I couldn't live the passed 2 weeks because you were away, how do you expect me to live if you died ? "
I went to her bed and kissed her forehead with tears all over my face, then I hold her hand.
" you deserved so much better than this. You deserved someone who can treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Regina you are the love of my life, don't punish me by walking away, you can't. Come back and do whatever the fuck you wanna do to me, just come "
I kissed her hand and went outside the room. I asked the nurse about my baby and she brought him to me. I looked at my baby for a while, he looks a lot like Regina. I looked at Henry and he was looking at his mum through the glass outside the room.
" Henry let's go home " I said.
He didn't look at me, he just went to the car and he didn't even sit besides me. I drove my car to the house and we all went in. Henry made it to his room and I sat down on the coach with my baby.
