THE SURROGATE: A LUKE BROOKS FAN FICTION

CHAPTER 32

*CHAPTER THIRTY TWO*

"Hold on Bella !" Daniel said, completely panicking as he drove through traffic. "fucking asshole !" he yelled out of the window at the third guy who swerved in front of him. "Oh my God Bella, please just hold on !" he said as he looked at me and saw I was crouched over, gripping onto my stomach. He continued to speak, -probably as a way of trying to get my mind off the pain- buht I didn't hear a word he was saying. This was the most agonizing pain I have ever been in ! I was on the verge of crying, the tears were stinging my eyes, when I felt the car finally stop in the parking lot of the hospital. "Bella, we're here !" he said, pulling the car keys out of the ignition and walking over to your side of the car and opened the door. "I-I can't get out ! I-I-I need you to he-help me !" you said, out of breath and shaking with pain. You extended an arm out, which he took and draped over his shoulder, while with his other hand, grabbing your waist and lifting you out of the car. He walked with you like that... Into the hospital... Into the elevator.

"Hang on Bella !" he repeated, still holding you the same way. You looked down in the elevator, with your eyes closed, a daunting thought crossed your mind. "Daniel ?" you said, feeling weak, "What if I lose this baby ?" you asked, your voice cracking. "No ! Bella don't say that ! You won't lo-" his sentence was cut short by the elevator opening up, revealing the reception area, "Oh thank God !" he said and rushed you out of the elevator. "I NEED HELP !! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME !!?" he yelled out in panic. "CAN SOMEBODY PLEA-" "What's the problem sir ?" the nurse at the reception desk asked him. He looked at her in utter disbelief, how the hell could she not notice this ? "What's the prob- what's the problem !? are you not seeing my friend in pain right now !" he asked her. "Calm down sir !" the nurse said, and she waved her arms in the air, and almost immediately, two male nurses rushed over with a wheelchair. They took me from Daniel's arms and sat me down in the wheelchair. "Hi miss-" "Bella" I interrupted him. "Hi Bella, my name is Elliot, and this is James" he said, pointing to the male nurse accompanying him, -Elliot was a blonde guy with blue and eyes, and James was a black male nurse, he was bald- "Can you tell me how far along you are ?" he asked, shining a small light in my eyes. "7 months, almost 8 !" I said, and they proceeded to rush me into a room.

Once in the room, Dr. Dickson came in and did a few tests, before leaving again. I was now left alone in my room. I looked around the room, and my eyes fell on several health posters, -PRACTICE SAFE SEX ; THE EFFECTS OF SMOKING WHILE PREGNANT; THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL WHILE PREGNANT- etc. I tried to distract my mind from thinking, buht one thought stayed in my mind, "What if I really do lose this baby ?" I asked myself, and the thought devastated me ! I would never be able to forgive myself if I lost this baby ! Never mind me, what about The Freemans ? I couldn't face disappointing them and breaking their hearts about a baby they haven't even gotten to know yet. I felt lost, and hopeless, so I turned to a Higher power; looking up at the ceiling, I closed my eyes and said, "Please God, I know its been a while since we last spoke, buht I'm praying please let this baby be okay !" I felt tears running down my cheeks as I prayed. I heard the door opening, and I immediately wiped the tears away. I looked at the door, and felt a bit disappointed when I saw it was Darcy, and not Dr. Dickson. "Hey," I said with a weak smile as she walked towards me and embraced me in a hug, -she always knee exactly when I needed a hug- "please don't let go yet !" I said, holding her tightly. "I won't babe ! I'll be here as long as you need me to !" she said, placing her chin on top of my head. "So, what's happening now ?" Darcy asked me, and I knew exactly what she meant. "Well, they took a few tests, and now im just waiting for the results" I answered, and I knew that she knew I was nervous. "Darcy im so fucking scared !" I said, and she remained silent, allowing me to vent out my feelings, "What if I lose this baby !? What if I had a miscarriage ?? It would all be my fault, and I would never forgive myself ! I'd never be able to live with myself !" I said, and the tears streamed down my face. Darcy waited until I was finished speaking, before breaking the hug, and taking my head in her hands, "Hey, you're not going to lose this baby okay ! I promise you its all going to be fine !" she said reassuringly. "And how do you know that !?" I asked her. Almost as if on queue, the door swung open and Dr. Dickson walked in, looking at the clipboard in her hand. "Dr. Dickson ! What's the matter ? Did I have a miscarriage !?" I asked her, and she looked at me with a less than pleasing look... A look that told me, i knew exactly what the answer was.
