Javier barged into the hospital. He honestly didn't know how he got there still intact. He was very worried about his wife and questions were swimming in head like flies. What if the cancer was back?,what if he was losing her?,what if he was too late? The what if's were starting to give him a panic attack. He has never been this scared before. He didn't want to lose her again.
He turned towards the corridor to his wife's private room. He could see all four of her bodyguards in the hallway. They were not pacing but worry was clearly showing on their faces. Over the past few months Mel had won everyone's heart. She would bake treats for the bodyguards and also talk to them whenever she was free. Although at first they were reluctant to speak to her but she never gave up trying. He remembered one day he had caught her sitting in the garden talking with two of her guards. They had quickly stood to attention when they spotted him,but Mel had just rolled her eyes at him and said,"I was bored Javier,you left me all alone here and Nic is still at school. You cant expect me to die of boredom when there are people who can talk to me."
"Whatever you wish,cara." He had replied with a smile on his face and went on to kiss her on the forehead.
He quickly snapped out of his thoughts when he reached the bodyguards.
"Where is she?" He asked
"They are still examining her." Stavros,one of her bodyguards replied.
"What happened?"
"I went inside to check up on her Sir,and i found her passed out on the kitchen floor. I quickly called the ambulance. I was afraid to move her,incase she had hurt herself." Stavros answered.
Javier nodded to Stavros. He agreed with his assessment.The door to Mel's room opened and everyone's attention turned it. A female door came out.
"You must be her husband." She said
"Yes i am. How is my wife Doctor? Can i see her?"
"Your wife is okay and yes you can see her. I want to talk to both of you. So come in."
He went into the room and his eyes instantly fell on his wife who was now sitting up on the bed. Or at least trying to.
"You should lie down." He said sitting next to her bed.
"Javier,i want to go home. Im fine and i don't like it here." She said gripping his hand tightly. It was obvious she didn't like hospitals because of her ordeal.
"You are free to go home Mrs Petronides as long as you promise me that you would take better care of yourself and the baby."
"Baby?" Both of us asked at the same time.
"Yes baby,Mrs Petronides your are three months pregnant. Congratulations to the both of you." The doctor quickly left after dropping that bomb on them.
"We are having another baby,Javier, are you happy?"
"Im happy my love,very happy. Im also glad that you are okay. When i heard that you were taken to the hospital. I almost died." He said kissing her forehead
"Javier.."
"No let me say what i want to say,we have wasted enough time already. You are everything to me Mel. When you left me five years ago, i went insane because not a day passed when i didn't look for you. Even thou you saw me on the television with another woman on my arm. I never took any other woman to bed except you. Losing you almost broke me. And today when i heard that you were taken to the hospital, all i was thinking about was how i was going to lose you again and this time i knew i would not survive it. You are the air that i breath,the centre of my heart."
"Javier,what are you saying." Mel asked her husband. She had never seen so much emotion on Javier's face before.
"I love you."
"You...you love me? Truly?"
"Yes Melanie Amell,I love you. Much more than you will ever know."
"Oh Javier,I love you too,so much." Mel said with tears in her eyes. Javier hugged her tightly then.
"I promise to tell you that at least three times per day."
"So will i,Javier." Mel replied. She knew that her life had changed for the better. It had not been easy for the both of them,but they had made it.
*The End*
