When The Stars Align

Chapter 35

"Why are they taking so long?" James muttered walking from one side to another in the room of the hospital.

"I don't know. They are doing some exams." I said, sat on a couch with my head following him from one side to another as if I was watching a tennis game.

"And take this long? No one comes in here to tell us anything?"

"Calm down. You're getting on my nerves walking from one side to another. Can you be quiet for just a few seconds?" I told him not taking that sight anymore.

"I told you she should have seen another doctor." He turned to me. "Instead, you got back to work." I curled an eyebrow and got up standing right in front of him.

"This is not my fault." I told him clenching my jaw.

"I said I wanted to take her to another doctor, hear a second opinion and you ignored it, stayed home working and now look what happened." He continued.

"Listen! None of this is my fault!" I almost yelled. "She was feeling alright, or at least she was not complaining."

"She was felling so fine that she passed out today." He shot.

"What are you implying?" I shook my head trying to process his words and accusations.

"That you haven't been paying attention to her!" He said.

"She spent the day with you! Maybe you didn't notice!" I shot back. James went silent but I was just too mad at him. "Now you don't have anything to say? It's easy to point the finger at me isn't it? I never slacked on her, never! She's 10 years old and I always have been with her, protecting her. Don't you dare telling me I don't pay attention to her." I yelled at him. That moment I was just too pissed off to even reconsider the place I was at.

"This time you didn't pay the attention you should." He snapped.

"This time..." I said pointing my finger at him. "...you're going too far." With that I turned my back on him and went to look for someone who could inform me about Sarah. I heard James's steps behind me, but I didn't look back or slowed down the pace to wait.

"Andrea wait..." He said, but I was just too mad. "Wait..." He grabbed my arm, but I shook it away.

"Leave me alone." I said almost running on the corridor.

"I am sorry." He said. "I am just too nervous, it's not your fault." He said rather fast. I stopped walking and looked at him. My eyes were filled with tears, my heart was bleeding and aching in pain. As our eyes met his filled with water too and then we just threw ourselves in each other's arms.

"I paid attention." I cried. "I don't know what's wrong with her."

"I am sorry my love. I didn't mean to say those horrible things." He cried too. "I am just in panic...I can't lose her I just met her; we have so many things to do together."

"Nothing is going to happen to her." I said trying to calm myself down. I felt lost with my daughter in the hospital, as if my life wasn't complete.

"No it's not." He said cleaning his eyes. "Because we're not going to let that happen right?" He asked me and I nodded. We hugged each other again and we cried a bit more.

"Ms. Fischer?" We heard a voice calling my name and we freed ourselves to find a nurse. "Doctor Nash wants to talk to you." We nodded and we followed her until we reached the doctor's office. He was sat looking at some papers but then got up to shake both our hands and motioned us to sit in front of him.

"I am the doctor who assisted your daughter tonight." He began. "She had to received blood, that's why it took us so long because her file didn't have her blood type, so we had to find it yet."
