“What’s wrong with her? What happened to her?” She asked, concerned. It’s true that she wanted grandkids and Daniel got married to her, but he traveled out and she couldn’t stay alone, because of the shame and harassment coming from guys. Despite the fact that she left, she still loves her. “Daniel talk to me.” His mom said.
“Mom, she’s okay now.” He explained everything to her and also her h@ťěful words and pain she feels. She felt for her. “But, mom she no longer like me. I messed up everything.”
“It wasn’t your fault, my son. I shouldn’t have talked about you getting another woman. I was desperate to have grandkids. I’m sorry.”
“Mom, it’s not your fault. I totally understand how you feel and you did what you thought was right. Maybe I should have waited a little while, but I just left her with a promise that I will be back. But I stayed up for two years and when I came back I heard that she has left, that she will return back to Milan. I should have waited,knowing fully well that she is still my wife. But I end up doing the worst thing, mom. I had segz with her best friend. She moved in with me, when she told me about the pregnancy and I was very happy. Not knowing that, she was her best friend.”
“Oh God, this is really hard to deal with. She is very angry, right?” His mom said, he nodded.
“Oh Jesus… But mom, don’t worry I will talk to her, even though she doesn’t wanna talk to me. She h@ťěs me, but I will try and make her understand. She is still my wife, legally.” Daniel said.
“We’ve wronged her. I pray she finds a place in her heart and forgive you. And me too.”
“Mom, you didn’t do anything wrong. You wanted the best. I’m the one at fault, I didn’t ask questions and I didn’t know that Kate was her best friend.” He said. His mom stayed with him, for some minute before going to her room, he put the past behind and face his laptop.
THE HOSPITAL
Amelia woke up and Henderson rushed to her, holding her hand. She gave a weak smile and Henderson didn’t haste to return the smile. She looked around the corner, Henderson knows that she was looking for her child. He remain quiet and she glanced at him.
“Where’s my child?” She asked. “He is fine. The doctor and nurse are taking good care of him.”
“Is he okay?” She asked. He nodded to her question. “Would you like to eat something? Huh okay lemme get you something to eat.”
“No, am not hungry.” She replied. “Babe, please don’t starve yourself. You have to eat something.”
“I’m not eating, until I see my child. Even if it takes a year, I will wait. I will starve myself for it.” Her response, shocked him. He stood up and walked to the window, tears were streaming down his eyes. He just lied to her.
“Oh God, why would allow such thing to happen to her. I know I did wrong,but you could have kept the baby safe for her sake.” He said.
“Babe…. What are you doing there? What are you staring at?” She asked, he turned and looked at her. “Is there any problem?”
“No. No babe….there’s no problem.” He replied and kissed her forehead. “When will the nurse come with my baby. I can’t wait to see him. Touch him and kiss his cute face.” She said.
“Don’t worry, he still needs some time. He is born premature and the doctor said that it will take some months.”
“Oh. That’s so bad. He was quick to see the world. But that’s not the problem, I pray he is fine.” She responds and he rubbed her soft hands and again kiss her forehead.
3DAYS LATER
Amelia got up from the hospital bed and made an attempt of leaving the room, when Henderson came in. She can’t bear it anymore, all attempts to see her baby was proved abortive. “I want to see my baby, don’t tell me anymore story.” She said, Henderson could see the rage and fire in her eyes.
“Babe… You will see him later, please. Please sit down.” He said, calmly. “Do I look am joking? Do I?”
Henderson was tired and couldn’t say anything. He never wanted it this way. “What happened to my baby?”
“No..Nothing.” He stammered, looking away. “You can’t lie to me and besides lying doesn’t suits you. Where is my baby? I it’s been three days now I have been in the hospital, I haven’t seen my baby. You keep telling me that I will see him, but I have not.” She half yelled.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” He mumbled and fell on his knees. “I knew something was wrong. What happened to him?”
“We lost him. He didn’t survive.” He said, in tears. She stepped back a little and Henderson rushed to her, so that she won’t hurt herself. He helped her sit on the bed. “He didn’t want me to see him. He left me alone. Why is my different?” She yelled,in tears.
“Naples took away my parents. My brother and my sister in law and now it has taken away my joy and happiness as a mother. Why? Why? Why him?. God why? You should have taken me along too. That would be OK. What are my still doing here alive?”
“Amelia please don’t say that. There’s a reason for everything. Trust me honey. We can make more babies as much as we want please stop crying”
“I don’t want any babies. I want him back. Tell him to give me back my son. Why’s he being so mean to me? He let me suffer while i was still a kid. And now he is making go through another pain. Why is he so mean to me? Why? What have i done to deserve this?” She yelled and cried. Henderson pulled her tp his chest and console her. But she didn’t stop crying.
“We will make more babies.” He said, calmly but didn’t know that he has added more fuel to fire. Amelia pushed him, hardly. “You think it’s easy, pushing out a child. Carrying a life for nine months.” She yelled at him.
“You can say anything you want, I know it’s not easy for you. But please don’t act this way. I’m hurt too. But don’t tell me to leave you alone.” He said and she fell to his arms and cried on his shoulder.
She console her and finally slept off on his arms, he lay her down and covered her. He didn’t leave the room, but stared at his fianceé. A knock came at the door and someone walked in. “How’s she doing?” The female voice asked and he raised his head and saw her standing behind the door.
“She.. I pray she won’t do anything to hurt herself.” He said. She sighed softly and walked closer to her. “Me too. What did the doctor say?”
“She will be discharged tomorrow and she wants to see the dead baby.” He mumbled.
“That’s really bad, please try and talk to her. She needs you more, she needs you now. Your majesty.”
“I will do everything to be with her and make sure that she’s happy.” He said and glance at her. “She has been through a lot, because of me.” He said as the words, his grandma said came to his head concerning their child.
