Chapter 12

External point of view

The ambulance was still at the stadium when the young girl fainted. It's always necessary during an official football game to have an ambulance and doctors, just in case a player gets badly hurt. The emergency doctors quickly took care of Aslinn and led her to the nearest hospital. Her friends Elie, Raphaël and Karim took their car and went to the hospital just after the ambulance went with Aslinn. 

" How's she? " Antoine Griezmann asks totally frantic, suddenly arriving in the waiting room where the 3 friends have been waiting for an hour.

" What the fuck are you doing here!? " Raphaël angrily tells him, getting up. " She's there because of you! If you had stopped shouting at her and if you had listened just one second to her, she wouldn't be in a fucking hospital right now! "

Elie tries to stop Raphaël but he's so angry that he doesn't want to hear anything. Antoine doesn't even try to defend himself, he knows he should have let Aslinn talk, she certainly had good reasons for running away. He was so angry when he saw her, all his feelings came rushing back to him and he just wanted answers. This was just the wrong way to get them.

" Are you Aslinn Martin's family? " a doctor suddenly asks.

" Her family is in France but we are her closest friends here. " Raphaël answers becoming very calm.

" Alright. Was she stressed or has she lived a stressful situation recently? "

" We could say that, yeah. " Karim says looking at Antoine angrily.

" That must have been the trigger. Don't worry, there's nothing major. She's fine, she just needs some rest. Try to make sure she doesn't live any other stressful event during the next 6 months. "

" What about the baby? " Elie asks the doctor.

" The baby? What baby? " Antoine's eyes wander to Rapha, Karim and Elie, totally lost. Karim pushes him a few feet away and tries to calm him down.

" That's actually because of him. The fetus doesn't like stress, especially during the first 5 months. You have to understand that the fetus is totally linked to its mother. When it feels she is endangered or when she is kind of preoccupied, the fetus feels it too but it's intensified. You told me your friend had stomach ache just before fainting. Well these stomach ache are made by the baby. It made that to warn its mother, your friend, that she had to relax. It's like an alarm, you know? So don't worry, the baby is fine, it's quite normal during the first semester to have stomach ache due to stress or tiredness. You can go see your friend now. "

The doctor smiles before leaving the waiting room to go check on other patients. They are relived after hearing those good news.

" Ok, can someone PLEASE tell me what's going on now? What's about that baby thing? "

" I think Aslinn should be the one telling you about it. Let me just go check on her first and then you can go see her. Alright? " Raphaël tells Antoine and goes into Aslinn room before even hearing his answer.

When he enters the room, he can see Aslinn is very pale but she smiles brightly as soon as she sees him.

" Don't you ever frighten me like that again, ok? " the defender says laughing a bit.

" I promise I'll do my best to stay out of trouble. I'll do anything for my baby to be fine. "

" Sooo I don't know if you remember everything that happened before you arrive at the hospital, but Antoine is here. And let's say he's a bit lost since he heard the doctor talking about the baby. "
