Our Hearts (Book 3)

CHAPTER 13

~WESTON~

Oh no! Not today bitch, not today. I ran upstairs and kicked Vince's door open. Billie is straddling him. His eyes widened when he saw me. Thank god, he didn't fuck her! "Get the fuck out!" He yells. "Fuck you!" I grab Billie's hair and yank her off Vince. She screams. I drag her ass over the floor towards the staircase. She's kicking and screaming but I don't give a flying fuck! All I see is red!

"Let her go, Weston!" Vince stands behind me, I look at him. I don't recognize that look that covers his face but one thing is for sure, that's not Vince. Not the one I know. This is Vince that Billie knew. She pulled him out and now he's a totally different person. "If she meant this much to you, why didn't you find her after I went inside? Why did you have to break Riley's heart twice?"

"I don't owe you an explanation. It's between me and Billie." He says. "What about Riley? She has your goddamn name tattooed on her body?" He stays quiet. "You're pathetic." I let go of Billie's hair. "Don't talk to me or Riley ever again and you!" I point to Billie. "Where are your daughter and your sister? There's no car out there?"

"They're in a hotel. I told my sister I'd stay the night here." She says. "Asshole!" I spit on the floor, right in front of Vince. That must be the hurtful thing I could do to him. That means I lost my respect for him. He's just a piece of shit under my shoe now! I turn around and fall down the stairs. I feel a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and in my back. "Weston?" Vince asks. "I can't talk. I feel nauseous and mangled. I try to sit up but everything hurts. Hero lifts me up.

Hero looks at me with a frightening look. Then I pass out.

~HERO~

She falls down the goddamn stairs and there's blood spilling out between her legs. My eyes go wide as I carry her out to the car. "Pollux, Damon, and Seth come on!" I yell. They all run over to the car. Pollux drives. Damon is seated beside him. I have Weston's head in my lap and Seth has her feet in his. The ride over to the hospital doesn't take more than ten minutes. Pollux drives faster than I've ever witnessed before. "Fuck!" I yell.

"What happened?" Seth asks. "She fell down the stairs." I say. "I know, but why is she bleeding?" I sigh. We haven't told the others about her high-risk pregnancy but I'm sure it's not normal to bleed this much when you fall down the stairs? Well, I don't know. But I'm so fucking worried. My heart is pounding inside my chest and I can feel tears burning behind my eyes. What if this is it? What if she dies? What if we lose our Angel?

"This is a high-risk pregnancy." I tell him. "A what?"

"After all that happened to Weston, they told her she most likely couldn't conceive and if she did, she wouldn't be able to carry the baby full term but she beats all the odds." I say. "Oh, well. It's Weston we're talking about. She always seems to beat the odds." I chuckle at him. "Yeah, that's true. But this pregnancy could kill both her and the baby."

"I know I have been reading about the condition. Ever since they told us she couldn't have kids, I've researched about different conditions." I gave him a surprised look. "I know. I seem like I have no clue most of the time, but that's just an act."

"You keep surprising me, just like she does." Pollux kills the engine and runs into the hospital. Seth and I get Weston out of the car and carry her to the stretcher when the doctors come out. I follow them. "Hero, what happened?" I look at Dr. Bree. "She fell down the stairs."

"Oh, my god! Come on, let's go. This could be a matter of minutes." Fuck! They roll Weston inside the exam room and Dr. Bree works fast. She searches for the heartbeat and checks around inside Weston's abdomen with the device on the ultrasound. "The placenta is still intact and the bleeding most likely comes from stress but I'll have to do some more exams before I could know for sure and I need to run some tests." I nod and caress Weston's cheek.

"Why is she unconscious?" I ask. "Probably a cause from the stress and blood loss but like I said, I need to do some tests before I can tell you anything for sure but from what I see on the screen, the baby is fine and the placenta hasn't burst."

"Okay." I say. "She's seven months pregnant now, and the baby needs to stay inside her womb for as long as possible but I'm gonna book a C-section in the middle of her eight-month mark." She says. "Isn't that dangerous for the baby?" I ask. "Honestly Hero, it's the best shot for the both of them." I nod again and now tears stream down my cheeks.

"I'll do everything in my power to save your girls. I promise you that. Anything else is in the hands of God."

"Yeah. Thanks, doc." She nods and puts Weston on new blood and gives her a drip with fluids. "I'll be back in a few." She says. I nod and take Weston's hand. "Baby, please. I need you. Wake up and please tell me that you're fine." Her eyelids flicker but she doesn't move or say anything but that flicker fives me a light of hope. She's in there, maybe she just needs some time alone in her head. Sort her feelings out before she wakes up. I step outside the room to give Seth, Pollux, and Damon an update.

"I'm gonna kill Vince! I'm so fucking tired of his shit!" Seth yells. "I really want to throw out that bitch." Pollux says. "Does anyone know how Riley is?" Damon asks. "Heartbroken. They finally got together after a few years apart. Before Riley left for college they were a thing, but Vince fucked a crow eater and Riley walked in on them. She left for college without a word to Vince. When she came back, they got back together. For real this time. He claimed her as his old lady and she has the tattoo." I tell him.

"What a fucking douchebag." He says. "Yeah, he is. I love him to death, but he's a douche." Seth said and Damon nods. "You do know that Riley is our cousin, right?" I tell him. "She's not my cousin. Lynette isn't her aunt, by blood I mean, she's the daughter of your father's sister?"

"Yeah, she is." I say. "Then we're not blood-related." He said and I smirk. "That's right."

"That's good." He says. I can tell that he likes her. Even though he doesn't know her, I don't think they've actually talked to each other but hey, I'm not judging. When passion is there, it's hard to stay away.
