I woke up with lots of voices, people dressed in white were roaming around the room and the lightening was too much, almost like those you find in a hospital.
Hospital!
I said to my myself as I jerked up and shot my eyes open, a sharp pain went all across my body and I let out a little cry.
"She's awake." One of the men said as they hurried to me putting on a flashlight to my face. "Are you okay? What's your name?"
"W-where am I?" I asked still very weak from whatever happened... immediately I remembered, I looked down to my thighs area and noticed it was all cleaned up, no blood.
"How's my baby? How's my child?" I asked with fear written all over my face.. I know the way I got pregnant wasn't how I expected, but loosing my baby at this time would just be the last straw honestly, I wouldn't be able to take it.
"Calm down madam. Do you have any relative around we can call? You remember your name?" The doctor asked again.
I could feel he was avoiding my question about my baby which even got me more worried. Does that mean I've lost my child? Before it was even born?
"Is my baby alright?" I asked this time demanding an answer... I looked deeply into his eyes trying to find the answers in them.
"Your baby is fine Ma. You were lucky to have been rushed here on time, if not you would have lost him."
'HIM'
Does that mean my baby's a boy? Wow!
"Thank God." I said and rested back on the bed with smiles all over my face.
"We need a family member we can call to let them know where you are."
"Yes Yes." I said and stopped to think... I actually had no relative I could call that stayed around... the only person that came to my mind was Jerry so I gave them his own.
It wasn't long before Jeremy rushed down to the hospital and dashed to my room.
"Thelma! Are you alright? What happened? The doctor didn't tell me much." Jerry asked as he blazed into the room. He looked horrible like someone who just saw a ghost.
"Calm down. I'm fine." I said with a little smile on my face. I was honestly glad to see him. "Can you hug me?" I requested... for the first time I asked him to show me affection. He did so without objection.
"It's fine. I'm here now." He whispered to my ears as I smiled and gave him a little kiss on his cheeks as we came facing each other.
"Jerry, I'm sorry for always pushing you away. I admit I'm being a coward, I'm scared honestly but..." I stopped and thought clearly of what I was about to say... I wasn't going to loose Jeremy because of my insecurities and doubt... "I'm ready to take the leap with you... I'm ready to give myself a shot at happiness... I'm ready to love you back."
"Oh my." Jerry said with a huge grin on his face.. " I love you Thelma." He said and leaned in to kiss me. I was sure more than anything in the world that I made the right decision. Jerry was the best thing for me and I finally realized it.
"I'm taking you back to my place immediately we leave here and I'm not hearing any objections!" He said firmly as I nodded and let out a little laugh.
"Thank you Jerry... thank you for always being there at my worst moment to help me up."
"I'll always be there... I promise."

"You're back? Will you be staying here with us?" Hannah asked as Jerry helped me in to the living room.
"My Queen, let Thelma rest first ehn before you start interrogating her." Jerry said as I smiled to Hannah.
"Do you want me to stay?" I asked her as I sat down on the sofa.
"Uhmmm.... Yes!" Hannah let out with a little dance she did which made us all laugh. Well I wasn't entirely sure of my plans yet if I was going to stay here with Jerry or go back to my place... but all I knew was that I loved this particular moment... this moment with the both of them even Jerry's Nanny.
"I need to go to bed... I'm really tired." I said as the nanny helped me up to the guest room but upon getting there I noticed it was already repainted to a beautiful white color with greenish designs of flower on the wall. It wasn't like a guest room anymore.
"Wow you decided to pimp up the guest room." I joked to the nanny as she helped me sit down.
"It's no longer a guest room. Mr Jerry said it's your private room for whenever you're around Ma."
That just made me blush the more so Jerry as even given me a space in his room, my own room.
*knock knock*
"Asleep yet?" Jerry asked peeking his head into the room.
"Not yet. Come in." I said and he entered and sat beside me on the bed.
"Hope you like your new room? We'll go get your stuffs from your place and move them here."
"Hold up. You want me to move in fully? But we aren't married or anything." I said thinking of what people would say.
Yes we are now a couple but that isn't a guarantee for me to move in to his home.
"Thelma, I want to be able to keep an eye on you... besides I plan to marry you..." he paused and smiled. "And Hannah wants you here to. We have a lot of rooms in this house Thelma and no one to stay in them. Having a fresh blood in the house would be awesome."
"I don't know. Can I sleep on it?" I requested biting my lower lips a bit.
"Sure. Hannah's nanny is going back to the university very soon so we'll need a lady's touch in the house." He said and got up.
"Goodnight Jerry." I said and ruffled his hands a bit.
"Goodnight Thelma. I love you." He said and switched off the light before stepping out.
