Colourful secrets of love

Chapter forty

Authors POV

The two women, one child and father rushed into the hospitable, Celia rushing up to the front desk. "Nicholas Black" she spoke in a frantic state.

"How do you know him?" The female at the front desk questioned.

"I'm his mother, this is his father, fiancé and daughter," Celia spoke, pointing everyone one out.

"Please take a seat and I will call his doctor to come and get you, he's in an operation at the moment." The female told his mother again.

A long and gruelling 30 minutes later a doctor came out, "Black family" the doctor called out. They all stood up, "He is out of the operation, and is doing fine, fiancé would you like to see him?" The doctor asked Mia who nodded "When can we see him" his father asked.

"I think you have done enough. I messaged Emily. She will look after Ellie. Here and Val will take care of her until Nick is out of hospitable and conscious," I tell nicks father, it was his fault.

Mia walked through with the doctors, following them to nick's room. "Just to let you know he has a tube up his nose and mouth." His doctor told me, I nodded as we stopped at his door.

"I will leave to see him. Let me know when I can send the rest of the family in," His doctor told Mia. She nodded opening the door seeing her fiancé in bed, scratches, bandages and tubes.

Mia cried walking into the room, placing her coat on one chair, walking over to a chair placed near his bed.

"Oh Nick, why did you have to go for the drive?" Mia spoke taking his hand pulling it up to to her lips kissing it.

"You need to wake up, please. I have a very special surprise, knowing me I won't be able to keep it." Mia replied with a chuckle.

"I'm pregnant, please you have to wake so we can continue our family," Mia tells him, as she brushes his hair away from his face, she smiled kissing him on the lips.

Mia walked to the door asking for the doctor or nurse that was looking after Nick, seeing if they could bring everyone, but his father in.

Mia sat there still holding his hand as the door clicked open. She looked up to see Celia with Ellie on her hip, with Valaska and Emily holding hands coming through the door.

Mia smiled that they got together. Mia saw that her daughter had been crying, she took her from Celia taking her to sit next top her father. "Give him a kiss on the forehead" she whispered into her daughter's ear.

Celia walked up to Mia, kissing her on the forehead. "He will make it" Celia whispered into the future daughter-in-law's ear. Mia smiled, looking up at her.

Mia and Ellie sat there while Val and Emily stood back, "Ellie you will go home with Val and Emily. I'll be home a little later ok." Mia explains. Ellie shook her head clinging onto her mum.

"Baby, your dad will get better and I am happy that he is safe." Mia tells her daughter.

"Are you going to be ok?" She asked, Mia holding her mum's face.

Mia nodded smiling at Ellie, Val and Emily "You know what tell Val and Emily you can have whatever you want for dinner ok" Mia tells her daughter, smiling she nods.

"Celia, can I talk to you for a second?" Mia and Celia walked out of the room leaving; Val, Emily with Ellie.

"Let Ellie have what she wants for dinner, if she doesn't want to go to school, don't make her, I will call the school on Monday. That's if I'm not home," Mia tells Celia, she nods her head hugging Mia.

They walked back into the room to see Ellie sitting with Val and Emily on the other side of the room away from her father.

"Hey baby, why don't you go home with Val and Emily; Celia will stay with me for a while, but she will be home a little later." Mia tells her daughter.

"Are you coming home?" Ellie asked her mum.

Nodding her head, she explained to her daughter, "But later ok," Mia tells her daughter. Ellie nods her head hugging her mum, before Emily and Val hug her too.

They both hug Nick's mum before walking out with Ellie in Val's arms in tears.

Mia and Celia sat next to Nick not moving until they were told visiting hours were closed, Celia said goodbye to her son, kissing him on the forehead whispering "be strong my son, wake up for her."

Celia left the room leaving Mia and the love of her life, lying in the bed, almost lifeless and pale, battered and bruised.

"I need to go now, baby. Get some rest. I'll come back tomorrow. Please wake up. I need you. This baby needs you. Ellie needs you. I love you. Ill see you tomorrow baby," Mia spoke softly kissing him on the forehand then on the cheek.

The two ladies walked out of the hospitable thanking the nurses who are taking care of Nick and to call if there are any changes.

They both went out to dinner since it was late. Mia was fine but exhausted, and it was past her medication time but she knew she needed food.

While the two waited and ate their dinner, they both talked about their lives, Mia found a lot more out about Celia she didn't come from a rich or polished family. Her and Richard fell in love at college but his mother didn't care for Celia, though his father did.

They got married without the permission of Richards father's permission. He didn't seem to care at first though when his father finally got to know Celia he accepted her and realised that she was doing wonderful things being a nurse.

Mia's POV

Later that night, Celia and I arrived home after leaving the hospitable and having dinner.

I went straight up to my room, not bothering to have a shower. I changed into my PJs and had my medication and brushed my teeth.

I laid in bed, touching my stomach, as a tear ran down my cheek. Please wake up our baby needs you I whispered rolling onto my said feeling the emptiness of the bed.

I hugged his pillow so I could at least smell his scent as if he was here, right next to me.

I didn't even realise it was morning until I heard small footsteps. Then two arms cuddling me. I gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Morning baby" I whisper

"Morning" she whimpered. "Can we go see daddy today?" She asked, I looked at her as she held my face, we both had puffy eyes.

"Sure, did you want to buy him something?" I ask my daughter, she nods her.

"Ok, we will have our breakfast and get ready," I tell my daughter trying to be strong even though I am dying inside. I feel like I can't function, but I have to.

Once we had breakfast, I helped Ellie get ready. While I was getting ready, I set her in front of her iPad. I needed time alone, so while I was in shower I broke down in tears.

When I finished getting myself together and changed into comfortable clothes, I walked back into Ellies room to see her on the bed crying.

Walking over to her I sat on the edge of the bed. "Baby, what's wrong?" I ask her.

"I want daddy" she cries sitting up. "I know. I do to, come on, lets go buy daddy something" I tell Ellie. She nods her head, "Can I have a hug?" I questioned, nodding her head she sits up and hugs me.

"Should we go buy something for daddy?" I ask her, she nods as we get off her bed. I helped her get a bag read since we would go straight to the hospitable after we finished at the shops.
