Third Person P.O.V
"Her most life threatening injury was to the head, she sustained it when she fell from the stairs her" the doctor told the family in front of him.
"Epidural hematoma. A clot was formed from the bleeding and it's continuing to grow. The longer we take to perform, the longer it will take for her to regain consciousness" he explained to them.
Vanessa couldn't keep herself up anymore, losing all strength in her legs she collapsed. If Patrick wasn't next to her she would have made impact with the floor.
"Not my baby" she sobbed on her husband's chest.
"The only way to fix it is to operate on her but I need a signature from the next of kin. I'm waiting on her body scan results to know how major the surgery will be. Oh! Here it is" A nurse handed a grey file to the doctor.
"What does it say?" Patrick asked the doctor.
"Fractured wrist, broken left fibula and a fracture to the skill which led to the epidural hematoma and she's-" the doctor stopped short when he realized what was on the last paragraph of the sheet.
"What? Is there something else?" Alesso asked, nervous with the way the doctor suddenly became silent.
"Is Ms. George's spouse here?" he asked the family
"That's me" Alesso answered
"Can I speak to you in private?" he asked Alesso
"It' okay. You can speak. We're all family here"
"Did you know that she was pregnant?" he voiced
His word froze both sides of the family. Everyone was shocked at the news.
"Preg-gn-pregnant?" Alesso stuttered out.
"3 weeks to be exact. Very early in the trimester"
"3 weeks?" On point it made Alesso remember the night Nevida drugged him and Camilla. They had no recollection of what happened that night but that was the only time that he could think of. Recalling it, Alesso was sure that they had unprotected sex that night.
She's pregnant and she fell down the stairs.
"Is the baby okay?" Alesso suddenly started panicking.
"There was no injury to the fetus. Her fall from the stairs only injured her head, foot and her hand" the room sighed in relief only to take a fresh breath at the doctor's next words.
"The problem comes with the operation. We don't know if she's allergic to the anesthesia and that poses a problem for the baby if she is"
"So the decision of performing the surgery lies on you. Time is ticking, the longer we wait to do the surgery, the bigger the clot grows" he finished off by handing the letter of consent to Alesso.
Alesso broke down in tears the moment the doctors left, sinking to the floor before the tears fell. His mom kneeled in front of him and hugged him as he clung to her arms.
"How much more I suffer? Did I commit some kind of sin in my past life to be punished like this? He took her from me before, does he plan on doing it again? With my unborn child as well? He can't do this, mom. He just can't!" Alesso sobbed in his mother's arm.
The entire room was in despair over what their choice should be. They knew they had to sign the papers but then what would happen if she really was allergic to the medicine? Not only would they lose Camilla but they would also lose her innocent unborn child.
Desperate for help Alesso got up on his knees, put his head on the floor and began to pray immediately.
"I have not asked you for much and to be honest I didn't believe you existed because what god could be so cruel to put me through that. Made my heart die in front of my eyes and I hated you for it. The only thing I begged you for is the protection of my friends and family and the love of my life. At first, I thought you had a plan for everything in my life and taking her away from me 5 years ago was just another plan but you brought her back" Alesso wiped his eyes and continued.
"For 2 months I have loved her subconsciously, not even realizing it was her and when I did, you're trying to take her from me. I can't. I can't do it again. I love Camilla and I promised myself that I will not take any other than Camilla since the first time I saw her." Tired from wiping them he just let them continue to flow.
"I thought I broke that promise with Lusanna but when I found out the truth, instead of letting her explain I chose to walk away. I am begging you, and I haven't begged someone unless it was important so please. Please. Don't take her from me because if you do, don't expect her alone because I'll be right behind her. I refuse to live in a world without Camilla again" he ended his prayer before signing the papers and submitted it.
As she was being rolled into the operating room, Alesso stopped them. He kissed her on the forehead and whispered a few words to her.
"I didn't realize what it was that you kept muttering every time you had a panic attack but I do now and I know it all"
"I want to be single together. I want to sit together, where it's quiet and know that it's not awkward. I want to walk, and build our dreams. I don't want to be alone. I want to be with you. To grow old and watch the dandelions get lost in the wind because that's who I am. Your other half. I love you, Camilla and no matter the results I will be with you" he finished.
Three hours later Alesso collapsed outside the operating room from the shock of the news given to him.
