What's wrong with Bella ?

Becky's POV...

Last night was magical, Daniel was so patient and gentle with me. I loved his company in fact I loved him. I woke up feeling good not only about mine and Daniel's relationship but also myself as an individual. For once in a long time I felt like I deserved a happy ending. I just hope I actually get this happy ending this time. 

Three months later …

Daniel and I had now been dating for three months we had dinner with his family once a week on a Friday evening and with David and Amanda on a Monday. We spent so much time together but we both wouldn't change it for the world. Last Saturday we took Bella to the Zoo, she loved it seeing all the animals Daniel even bought her a cuddly panda in the gift shop after. It was like a proper family day out because David and Amanda joined us with Scarlet, Jason and their twin boys. Lottie and Nathan also joined us with their 3 month old Isla-May. 

She was the sweetest, watching them both as new parents was so cute but it also made me jealous I never had that someone when Bella was a baby. Yes I had David and Amanda and I am forever grateful that I did but I didn't have a partner by my side. Which is something that if I were to have more children in the future that someone was by my side as my partner. I am hoping that it is Daniel. 

Anyway today Bella and I were having a lazy day as she didn't feel very well. I was slightly worried as she normally is so outgoing but today she was very quiet and did not want to leave my bed. We were snuggled up together watching cartoons. I told Daniel what we were up to today he wished he was there with us but he had a very important meeting. 

If you are wondering yes I do know that he is a CEO he couldn't keep a secret from me for long. To be honest it wasn't him who told me it was Nathan he accidently let it slip. I forgave them both after Daniel explained why he withheld that information from me. Anyway he did want to be with Bella and I but his meeting was really important but he did say he would eave as soon as it was finished.

 Back to Bella she was not eating at all and trying to get her to drink something was a challenge in itself. I left the room while she was sleeping to update David as I had to take the day off to look after her. Amanda offered but I didn't want to leave my baby today. When I returned I began to get worried I felt her forehead and she was extremely hot, I couldn't see her chest moving so I leant down to listen to her chest but I heard nothing I began to panic so I rang for an ambulance. 

When they arrived they told me that I did the right thing and that they were going to get her the help she needed. I went in the ambulance with her holding her hand to reassure her that I was here. They put a mask on her face to help her with her breathing. When we arrived at the hospital they took her into the emergency room. 

They told me that she was suffering from a damaged kidney. They believed that she may need a transplant. I was distraught how in the hell was this happening. I went into her room and sat with her holding her hand stroking her hair crying. I needed Daniel with me, so I decided to call him I know he was in a meeting but I really needed him. 

Daniel's POV...

My boring meeting was draining me, I just wanted to go and see Becky and take care of a sick Bella with her but this needed my attention as Nathan was on paternity leave due to Isla-May being born. Suddenly my phone began to ring, when I saw it was Becky I knew she wouldn't ring me unless it was important as she knew I was busy. I answered it with caution, "Hey babe are you okay how's Bella?" On the other end of the line I heard beeping and Becky sobbing finally she got out some words, "Sss-she isn't well Daniel I had to call an ambulance she stopped breathing we are at the hospital now, please come now I need you I am scared. I haven't even been able to tell David or Amanda yet. please come please." "Hey baby it's okay I am on my way I will call David in the car okay don't worry I promise I will be there soon" I assured her. "Ooo-Okay, I love you" she replied. "I love you too hang in there okay I'll be there soon".

 I walked back into my meeting collecting my laptop and jacket. I apologised to everyone and said there was a family emergency. I ran to my car and rang David via hand free phone on the way, he told me he and Amanda would be at the hospital as soon as they could. Once I arrived at the hospital I had to ask where Bella's room was. 

When I finally found it I saw Becky totally knackered beside Bella. I rushed to her side and took her in my arms. I looked over at Bella she looked so fragile. Becky was so worried understandably. She told me that Bella had a damaged liver and would most likely need a transplant. I had no idea it was this bad. 

The doctor came in and explained that we should all get tested to see if our kidney's would be suitable for Bella. This was going to be a long night, testing would begin in the morning. I told David not to come this evening but in the morning instead. I knew Becky wouldn't want to leave Bella tonight so I decided to upgrade her room so that Bella was more comfortable and Becky and I would have a bed to sleep in. I mean I do not think we will be doing any sleeping but it would enable us to cuddle and comfort each other.

 I had to peal Becky away from Bella she didn't want to let her go but she needed to rest. I phoned David again to ask him to bring some stuff for Bella like pyjamas books and some clothes for Becky. I needed to make sure Becky was okay. I held her close to me and tried my best to get her to stop crying nothing seemed to work, it was around 3 am when she had cried so much she exhausted herself. She was sleeping with a tear stained face.

 At around 7 I fully woke up thankfully Becky was still asleep. I crawled out and sat beside Bella holding her hand whispering to her that she needed to be okay for her mummy. I told her that I would buy her Ice cream and a massive Teddy bear when she was all better. At around 9 Amanda and David arrived with balloons and teddy bears and Bella's backpack. Amanda had also packed a bag of Becky's things to ensure that she had everything and luckily I had left a few of my clothes at hers so Amanda had brought them as well for me. 

I was thankful that they had brought breakfast as well because I didn't want to leave Becky. Today was going to be a tough one. We all willingly gave consent to start the testing and we all wanted to save our little princess. I knew whoever was going to be Bella's donor would be in pain as well I hoped I could be the one to do it but that wasn't the case unfortunately we were all not suitable for Bella only Becky was.

 She was more than happy to do it, she was going to save her daughters life but I knew that Becky would be in a lot of pain. They would both also need to be looked after when they were discharged. I fully supported her decision to do it but only with the condition that she and Bella stay with me during their recovery. She agreed. 

Now we just have to hope that the operations are successful and Bella doesn't reject her mummy's kidney otherwise this will be all for nothing. I was worried but I knew this was our only option. We just had to keep the faith now. It was important to support Becky through this. Bella will have no idea what is going on so her mental health won't initially be affected directly but Becky was fully aware of what was going on. 

This was affecting her mental health as it is but if this all goes wrong Becky will be in a very dark place I have to be prepared for all,  I need to be there for both girls and be prepared for whatever the outcome was.  Tomorrow is going to be a tough day Operation day I have asked my brother and sister to come to keep me company I need distracting during the op and support for either outcome.
