Techna
I winced when I opened my eyes, bright light burning it. “She’s waking up.” I heard a voice say. I blinked for few seconds before finally opening it.
“Techna.” A familiar voice called wrapping arms around me as I sat up. I looked to my side and saw Tyler looking at me with worry and sadness.
“Tyler, what happened? ” I asked and then the events flashed back to me and I held my stomach. My babies! I gasped touching around my stomach, it felt smaller. “What happened to my babies?” I looked around and saw Troy, Mac and Mrs Moner. They all looked at me with sad eyes too. Don’t tell me my babies are dead! “No… No… No!” I screamed.
Mac ran to me and I pulled out of Tyler’s embrace and hugged her. “My babies are not dead right? They are okay right?” I started sobbing.
“Techna, they are fine, but…” Mac stopped and I saw a tear fall down her cheeks.
“But what?” I faced Tyler, I could see his tears almost falling. “But what Tyler?!
He scratched his hair and mumbled curses. “We lost one of the triplet.” He said and I saw a tear fall.
“What?!” I half yelled.
I cried more, no I couldn’t have lost my daughter! No! My child is gone! I hugged Tyler and sobbed on his shoulders. “How?” I almost asked.
He hugged me more tightly and pecked my forehead. “I am sorry, Techna. You fell when the man grabbed you and you hit your stomach on the floor. The place you hit on the floor was the side where the head of one of the baby was. So when we rushed you to the hospital, you were already losing blood and they could only save the other two. I don’t know how the doctor did it, but he did surgery and was able to remove the one that died.” he sniffed. “They couldn’t safe the other baby. I am sorry” He said and patted my back as I sobbed.
I released him and faced the rest.” Who was the mother fucker that killed my baby?! Did you see him? Did you catch him?”
“Well yes, but there is going to be a lot of explaining and things we have to tell you, Techna.” Troy said. I looked at him and he came to hug me as well as Mrs Moner.” I am sorry.” They both said and I nodded.
“Explain what? Don’t tell me they are some kind of gang or something.” I said jokingly, but they didn’t all laugh but kept a straight face. Were they in some kind of fight with a gang or what? I looked at Mac and I guess she knew what it was. I sighed and stood up. “Explain what?” I said again.
“Sweetheart, we would explain when we get home ok?” Tyler said holding my arm.
I snatched my arm.” No. I want you guys to explain it now.” I was impatiently, I just lost one of my babies and they didn’t want tell me about the chaos that happened at home?
“You need to rest for now, Miss Winters.” I turned to look at the doctor that just entered.
“But…” I was cut off.
“No buts, miss. Whatever you want them to tell you will be said later. You have to rest and be off stress. I am sorry for your loss, but if you stress yourself, you are putting your other babies in danger.” He explained. “You can go home now, since I have done a check on you, and everything is just fine.”
I sat down and held my stomach, glaring at all of them.
I still can’t accept the fact that one of my babies is dead. That man that did this is going to jail.
