CHAPTER FOURTEEN
1414 Words
I'm hyperventilating right now, I feel, I feel so light , I think I'm going to pass out" She says almost out of breath.
"Hazel please stay with me" I put my hand on hers and she grips it as she cries harder.
" I'm so sorry Klaus, I know you were so excited about having a baby, I'm sorry I lost it"
What the hell is she talking about?
Once I drive into the hospital premises, I get out of my car and carry Hazel bridal style into the hospital and immediately a stretcher is brought and I put her on it.
"Klaus pleas don't leave me"
"I'm right here baby, just be strong okay. You need fight for you and our baby. Don't give up"
"Sir you need to wait out here"
Hazel is taken into the emergency room and Doctor Patrick follows. I sit by the door on the floor with blood stains all over my hands and t-shirt.
"God please don't let this happen to me, save them both" I lament in tears. Suddenly a wonderful idea crosses my mind, I need to call my mum. I badly need her to hug and assure me that everything's going to be fine. Her words are magical, if she says something is going to be fine then it's definitely going to be fine. When I call her she freaks out a great deal.
Ten minutes later I see her walking towards me with a bewildered expression.
"Mummy" I call and burst into tears. She stoops by side and gives me a reassuring hug.
"Hazel is a strong woman, she's going to fight for the baby and nothing will happen to them my son. I can assure you that. You're still going to be a father, nothing will change"
"Mum she was bleeding so badly, she was terribly hurt, I doubt if she will make it" I say worriedly and she cradles me in her arms as she strokes my hair.
"It's going to be alright"
"Thanks for coming mum"
"I couldn't miss it son, it's my future daughter-in-law and grandchild we're talking about here, I couldn't keep calm and for that evil spirit called Daisy, I hope she's not gonna get away with this"
"Craig's on it" just then Craig walks in with a frown plastered on his face.
"Please tell me you got her"
"She's not even going to be judged bro"
"Thank you"
"Will you at least get up from the floor, you're making it look like Hazel is dead"
He says carelessly and without warning mum gives him a heavy knock on the head.
I swear I almost laugh.
"Ouch!, What was that for mum?"
"Go sit on the stairs"
"But mum..." He tries to protest but mum cuts him off.
"This minute!" She instructs and he obeys. That's the kind of mother I have. The one who will make a twenty five year old billionaire sit on the stairs in the hospital.
Savage mum
"I'm still the hero here, I caught the vilian"
"Of course you are" She says sarcastically as she turns to me.
"Come here baby"
She helps me seat up from the floor and we both sit in the couch " look at me" she instructs and I obey " In a few months time you're going to have a son and we're gonna name him Kyle Arthur , after your father"
"What if it's a girl?"
"Then Hazel will decide what to call her"
"I love you mum"
"I love you more son" she engulfs me in a warm hug and damn! I feel so safe in her arms.
Mum is magic!
"Oh please!, You both are just being melodramatic right now" That's Craig.
"How about the toilet?"
She asks and Craig shuts up. That's mum's best punishment. I've been locked in up in toilets at home countless times. Trust me when I say it's a very unpleasant punishment.
"You need to clean up yourself and change your clothes, you're all b****y"
"Wait...is that Hazel's blood on you?" That's Craig again.
"What do you think?"
"Oh my God, are you sure she'll be okay?, that's so much blood there" he asks and I scowl at him furiously. "Oh,...sorry, sorry"
"I want to be here when Hazel wakes up" I say looking at my mum.
"Alright then, I'll go over to your place and get you clean clothes and some toiletries"
"I'd appreciate that"
"Be strong honey, everything is gonna be alright"
She taps my shoulder and gets up to leave.
"Be a good boy Craig" with that she leaves the hospital. Craig gets up from the staircase and sits by my side.
"Are you alright?" He asks concerned
"Do I look like I am?" I ask annoyed and what he does takes my heart away. He hugs me tightly and gently taps my back.
"We're going to name him Craig"
"I'm never going to name my son after you"
"Come on, I'm not bad at all. Don't you want your son to be as goodlooking as his uncle?, I'm going to train him how to act like the king he is, I'm gonna teach him how to make the girls fall for his good looks, his style."
"No, you will not!, You're not going to teach my son your crooked ways" I warn and he laughs hard
"And I'm not gonna let you teach my nephew your ancient ways of life. You're boring, always too serious for nothing"
"I'm not boring!" I protest
"Yes you are!"
"I refuse to have this argument with you!"
"Cool, but I'm still going to teach him my ways"
"What if it's a girl"
"Then she's going to be my princess"
"No way, she's my daughter so she's going to be MY princess, not yours"
"As boring as you are, you're not even gonna know how to go about treating your daughter like a princess, so just leave to me" He says sarcastically and I look at him in total disbelief.
He's always doing this to me, making me argue over silly things, the child isn't even born yet and here we are arguing. He's always dragging me into his childish arguments
"You know what?, I'm done arguing with you"
"She's going to attend her first party at fifteen..."
"Hazel will kill you and I will defend her"
"Thought you said you weren't gonna argue with me"
You see what I'm talking about.
"Then stop talking"
"Allow me to fantasize about how I'll raise my niece or nephew." He says sternly and I just ignore him as rants on.
He's just impossible.
************************************
Hours later, mum Craig and I are seated in the outpatient ward when the door to the emergency room opens and Doctor Patrick walks out.
"Mr Arthur" he calls as he walks towards us.
"How's she doctor?" I ask panicking
"Calm down Mr Arthur, she's doing okay"
"And the baby?"
"The baby is doing okay" I smile heartily as tears shimmer in my eyes, as I blink my eyes the tears spill down my cheeks freely. Hazel didn't loose the baby.
"Thank you very much Doctor Patrick." I say from the depth of my heart. I'm surely going to reward him for this.
"I'm just doing my job"
"Can I see her?"
"Yeah, this way please" he leads us into a ward where we meet Hazel sleeping peacefully on the bed
"She's just resting" Doctor Patrick informs.
I sit by the bedside and take her hand in mine. I caress her forehead and plant a soft kiss on it. I'm so proud of her for flighting , she looks so delicate that I'm scared I might hurt her .
"She's very beautiful Klaus, l love her already" Mum says as she takes a seat beside her.
"Well then that's good news mum"
"Klaus" Hazel calls weakly and I turn to face her, she's wide awake.
"Yes baby"
"Please tell me I'm still pregnant" she asks worried and I smile heartily as I kiss her hands.
"Relax Hazel, our baby is doing just fine" I say as I kiss her tummy.
"I'm bailing out, I just can't contain all the emotions flying around in here. Emerald I'm glad you're out of danger, I love you but I can't stay. The atmosphere is too emotional for me" Craig says as he give her quick kiss on her forehead and leaves the ward.
When will that brother of mine actually grow up?
