When The Stars Align

Chapter 73

James and I remained at the hospital the whole day. Exchanging between visits to Lars and Sarah. As the time of the transplant approached we left Sarah and went to Lars, as he was going to be put to sleep. When we got to his room, is gaze was floating and he had a soft smile on his lips. Belle winked at us and laughed.

"They have given him some medicine, so he wouldn't be nervous when taken to the OR." She told us.

"James..." He said and James looked at his high face unable to control his laughter.

"Seems like you're doing just fine bro." James told him. "We came here to give some support, but it seems like we don't have to."

"I'm good." Lars smiled and then he turned to Belle. "Have you seen how gorgeous my girlfriend is?" He still talked to James.

"The drug it's in its maximum effect." Belle laughed; in fact we all did.

"Do you wanna marry me?" He asked her and James and I burst into laughter. He came near me and held my hand while Belle looked at Lars sweetly and ran a hand over his face.

"We'll talk about that when you're sober." She told him.

"I'm fucking serious. I mean I know that I'm high, but I know what I am asking you." He insisted. I saw Belle giving a step back and she looked at me in panic. James squeezed my hand and shot me a smile.

"Is he serious?" I whispered in James's ear and she shrugged.

"How should I know!" He whispered back Meanwhile a nurse and a doctor came into the room.

"Time to go." The blond doctor with blue eyes that came into the room said. He was around our age and got my attention and Belle's in seconds.

"Babe, will you come with me?" Lars asked Belle, and she nodded still infatuated with the doctor's beauty. James shook me a bit and made me look at him.

"Hey...I am here!" He said. "And our daughter is in there!" He said pointing at the other said of the corridor. "And our son is in here." He said pointing at my belly. "Leave the single doctor alone." I began to laugh.

"Are you jealous?" I pinched his nose smiling.

"Of that guy?" He said. "Nahhh..." He shook his head. "After all I was the one getting you pregnant twice! I know, I got it all!" Not once I saw he was mad, he was joking with me all the time, but the vanity with which he said he got me knocked up twice made me laugh loud. I shook my head at him laughing and he grinned victoriously.

We followed Lars until we could no longer go in. "Good luck and thanks again." James told him shaking his hand.

"Go to your girl man, soon this nightmare is over." Lars said. Then Belle was prepared to go in, she would be watching, and James and I went to Sarah who was being prepared for the transplant. After getting all sterilized again and dressed in special suits and masks on our faces, we met our princess inside, sat in a huge chair with more tubes stuck in her arms. She looked restless and she had these huge black shadows under her eyes, she was thinner, and her tiredness was such that she didn't even talk to us, she just gave us a smile. I think Sarah was tired of her condition and I felt like my girl would have giving up the fight soon, despite of what the doctor said.

James placed himself on one side and me on the other, then we grabbed each one of her hands. "I am tired, can I sleep?" She asked

"You can sleep for a while." The nurse told her. "It's gonna take a bit until the process begins, so close your eyes." James and I nodded at her and Sarah did so. She was indeed tired; she fell asleep instants after. James and I remained there for a while, but the doctor came to call us.
