Life, Love and Tragedy

Chapter 37

What baby?
Jamie's pov...
My head was spinning. I knew that the nurse had told me that Erin would be ok but I couldn't help it. I had a weird feeling about it all. My stomach was knotted. Thoughts ran through my mind. Horrible thoughts.
Jamie? Said a familiar voice. I looked up to see Racheal. Tears ran down her face. Wow this is the first time I've ever seen her cry.
J- hi
I replied weakly. I couldn't face talking to anyone. Racheal sat next to me.
R- look I know it's hard. Really hard. But you have to stay positive, you've just had a gorgeous little baby. If not for yourself but for him. Sian told me the nurse said they are going to try and wake her up soon. So that's good isn't it?
J- I suppose.
R- what's on your mind.
J- I don't know I just have a bad feeling about Erin. I know the nurse said she expected anything to be ok. But what it's it's not?
R- honestly? Everything might not be ok. If everything isn't ok, then we will all get through it. Together. You both have plenty of friends and we are all here to help you. Both of you.
I began to cry, Racheal put her arm around me as a attempt to comfort me. The nurse came over.
Nurse- Jamie?
J- yes?
Nurse- we are going to try and wake Erin up now are you ready?
Just as the nurse said this, Sian came back in.
R- Just in time. They are going to try and wake Erin up now.
S- really that's great news!
J- where's Hannah.
S- I left her with Luke.
R- ill go and find her.
Nurse- ok, ten minutes while you find your friend so that she can be here. But Erins ready to wake up so ten minutes is the longest we can wait.
R- ill be as quick as I can.
Racheal ran out.

Racheal's pov...
They are going to wake her up! This is great news. Hannah should be here though. I went to find her. Sian said she left her with Luke down in the baby unit. I set for there first. I bumped into Luke on the way.
R- hey, Sian said that she left Hannah with you. Where is she?
L- I took her back up to her room and Jake was there. I left them to it.
R- oh great thanks Luke.
L- has something happened?
R- they are going to wake up Erin. So I need to find Hannah.
L- oh. I hope everything's ok.
R- Ye me too.
I went up to Hannah's room. I interrupts a kiss between her and Jake.
R- they are going to try and wake Erin up now.
H- really? That's brilliant!
R- come on we need to go.
Jake pushed Hannah and we ran to Erins room where Jamie and Sian were. The nurse was talking to them.
Nurse- ok we are going to wake her up now. I'm afraid only two people can be in with us, it's probably best if it's the last people she saw. If others are there. It may distress and confuse her.
Jamie turned to Hannah.
J- will you come in?
Hannah looked hesitant but agreed. Jake whispered something in Hannah's ear which lead to a tight hug and a reluctant let go.
S- tell us what's going on as soon as you can.
R- good luck.
Sian and I both hugged, fearing the unknown.

Erin's pov...
Erin? Erin can you hear us? Your in St Hughes hospital.
I opened my eyes and I was in a bright white room.
E- where am I? How did I get here?
I could hardly here myself speak.
I heard a relaxing, reassuring but terrified voice.
J- erin? Are you awake? Ca. You see me ?
All of a sudden the bright light light was blocked out by a mop of ginger hair.
E- Jamie? Is that you?!
He smiled..
J- yes! I'm so glad your awake! Guess what?
E- what?
J- the baby is ok! We've had another boy!
E- what baby?
J- what do you mean?
What's he talking about. We've had another boy? What?
The doctor pushed Jamie away from the bed. The doctor was saying something about memory loss. I couldn't quite make out what it was though. Hannah came to me.
H- erin you don't know how worried we've all been! About you and the baby!
E- why do you all keep talking about a baby?!
H- because you have just had one. Remember? You went into labour we put you in the car we crashes and you weren't wearing a seatbelt?
My mind was blank. I-- I can't remember.
E- I-- I'm sorry. I don't know what you are talking about.
A tear ran down my face. I've had a baby? Why can't I remember? Why?!
