Isabelle's pov

We just got to the hospital, I run inside and rush to the reception desk and I'm directed to her ward on the second floor, I get in the elevator. On getting to the, I notice Ray leaning against the wall his head down.
I:"Ray what happened?"
R:"we were watching a movie and she told me her tummy hurts, I placed my hand on her forehead and she was burning up. I brought her here, the doctor hasn't told me anything yet"
I start crying. I feel a hand on my shoulder and i look up and it's Jordan. I hug him and cry on his shoulder. He rubs my back whike trying to reassure me everything is fine. The doctor walks out of her ward. I rush to him
I:"doctor how's she? Is she okay?"
Dr:"yes she's fine. Are you her mother?"
I:"yes"
Dr:"it was nothing serious. She just caught a bug that has been going around. She'll be fine in a few days. It's nothing to worry about. Right now, we've run an iv line and she's asleep. You can go in but please keep it down."
I:"thank you Dr"
R:"thanks Dr"
I go into the ward to see her small body on the bed. She looks so fragile. I wonder how much pain she was in, my little baby. I'm glad she's okay now. I place a small kiss on her forehead and walk out of the room quietly. There's an uncomfortable silence outside, it didn't occur to me I just left my ex fiancé with my prospective boyfriend. I should introduce them.
I:"she's asleep. Ray meet Jordan. Jordan, Ray."
Jordan stretches his hand to shake Ray's. Ray accepts it and gives him a forced smile. At least he shook his hand. I forgot how jealous and possessive Ray can be.
I:"Jordan I'll be spending the night here. I don't want to keep you. I had a fun evening, maybe we could reschedule?"
Jo:"I'm glad you did. It's fine by me. I'll call you. Goodnight, when she wakes up tell her uncle Jor says hi, and I'll see her tomorrow"
I:"okay. I'll tell her. Goodnight"
He pecks my cheek and lingers there for a while before pulling back and walking out.
Ray scoffs and rolls his eyes. Oh lord!
R:"you brought him here Isabelle? Our daughter is sick and you brought the man you were on a date with here?"
I:"excuse me? Who gave you the right to question me?"
R:"I'm sorry"
He walks into Adeya's ward. I sit in a nearby chair with my head between my hands. I call Bo and tell her what happened. She wanted to bring clothes for Adeya and I, but I told her I'll manage, she should go to bed and bring them in the morning.
I walk into the room and see Ray seated next to Adeya's bed. He's holding her hand and his head is resting on the bed. I hear sniffling, is he crying?
I:"Ray?"
He looks up and that answers my question. He's crying.
I pull him up and hug him. He holds me so tight like I'll disappear if he let's go. We stay in this position for like 5minutes.
I:"do you want to get coffee? There's a coffee shop across the road"
R:"okay"
He let's go and we walk to the coffee shop. This brings back memories, like the first time we met. Wow, time sure flies!
R:"I'm sorry for questioning you. It's just I came down here to meet you and try to win you back. I met our daughter and that made me imagine us as a complete family. But when I saw you with that guy I knew the chances of that happening are very slim. But let me tell you Isabelle, I'm not ready to give up. I can't live without you and Adeya"
I:"I don't know Ray"
R:"please Isabelle. Give me another chance, just one chance. Please don't do this"
I:"I don't want to get hurt again Ray..."
R:"please Isabelle. I beg you. I'll move here if that's what you want, I'll do anything, anything please"
I:"I have to think about it Ray, I don't want to make a decision in the spur-of-the-moment. Please give me a little time"
R:"I can do that. But please don't leave me."
His eyes are pleading. Infront of me is not the confident Ray I'm used to, he looks dishevelled and broken. I love him, I still do and being with Jordan will mean hurting him(Jordan) in the process because I haven't stopped loving Ray. I'll just have to think about all of this later, when my baby is better and my mind is less jumbled.
