Nicklaus
I have been pacing up and down the hospital hallway waiting for when the doctor will come out. For heaven’s sake, it’s been hours and they are still inside
Nothing should happen to my kitten or else, I’m bringing this hospital down, I look beside me to see Bianca still in tears, She must probably be in shock after experiencing what happened
“Damn! This shouldn’t be happening now” I groaned, punching the wall, and a home appeared immediately on the wall.
“This shouldn’t be happening no…..” I wept in tears falling on my knees
“Damn! Nick, what happened?” I heard Rex’s voice, as he came toward me
“Did you know?” I ask with teary eyes,
“It’s all over the news bro, I manage to come in through the back door, there are many reporters in front of the hospital”
“Rex I can’t take it if anything happens to Ashley, I can’t….” I finally breakdown into tears allowing my tears to flow
“Come on man…you have to be strong for Ashley, you can’t be seen like this” Rex said as he helped me up and walk towards the long bench Bianca is sitting on
“Rex I swear I’m going to kill the mother fucker that did that”
“Don’t worry I will take care of that”
“Mmmm” I nodded my head, but I can’t I just can’t sit down here doing nothing when I know the woman I love is in there fighting for her life just for me
“Ahhhhhh……..!!!” I screamed in pain and held my head in my both palms
“Take it easy Nicklaus” Rex warned taking hold of my hand
“Rex…..” I called quietly
“I’m always here for you”
“Things were starting to get better for the both of us, what about our child, Rex Ashley is the best woman ever I can’t live without her”
“Calm down Nicklaus, I know Ashley she’s a fighter, she can get through this” Rex said holding my shoulder right in an assuring manner
“Alright…” I nodded my head, holding onto what Rex said,
“Rex, I’m a shadow of myself, but Ashley made me crawl out of that shell. Do you think I can ever be whole again if anything happens to her?”
“That’s why you should stay positive” Rex groaned
“I am…” I whispered slowly.
I was already tired of crying, it’s evening already and the doctors are not yet out. Bianca is already sleeping and Rex is as well. But I couldn’t, I couldn’t sleep knowing that the only two reasons my life is colorful are at the edge of leaving me
Sleep has long gone faded from my dictionary as the only name that kept on resounding in my head just like nursery rhythms is Ashley and my baby
I know it’s crazy but I’ve come to love her deeply, so intense that she’s turned to the air I breathe, I’ve always loved her since the day I set my eyes on her at the strip club
But for some reason, it wasn’t complete, until recently when we opened up to each other. Trying to heal and be each other’s peace of mind.
I wasn’t asking for too much from the Almighty
“Why does this have to happen?” I ask no one looking up in heaven.
I was still in thought when the door kicked open, the doctor came out with his fellow doctors, I sprang up in a haste guess my noise was too much because Rex and Bianca woke up too
“Doctor, how’s she?” We ask in chorus, making the Doctor stare at us one after the other.
He sighed, and remove his glasses, almost making my heart to jump out of my chest, but then a smile spread on his lips
“You’re lucky, she’s a fighter”
“What do you mean?”
“She survived the surgery”
“Ohh…my thank you” I shouted in joy and ran in with Rex and Bianca along, ignoring the rest of the words the doctor have to say
“Kitten…. ” I called slowly and ran towards Ashley engulfing her in a very right hug
“I love you” I muttered kissing her lips
“Thank God you are okay” She whispered slowly and that raise my anger
“Kitten, why did you have to do that?” I ask seriously
“Because I can’t take it if anything happens to you,” She said in tears
“I’m sorry” I kissed her nose wiping her tears
“Just don’t do that ever again, I nearly died seeing you like that…I can’t do without you” I said to have almost in tears
She slowly raise her right hand which was covered in a bandage and wipe my tears
“How is my baby?” She ask, the door opened immediately with the doctor coming in
“I would like to speak with her husband?” The doctor said looking at us
“Doctor, how is my baby?” Ashley ask,
“Baby calm down” I made to calm her down
“No…don’t tell me to calm down, doctor how is my baby”
“Alright, I’m sorry we tried to save the child but we couldn’t…. I’m sorry”
“Ahhhhhhhhhh………no…………!!” Ashley screamed in pain,
“Kitten, calm down, you can’t do this to yourself….” I said
“Ashley calm down…..!!!!” Bianca came forward trying to calm her down too
“Ohh nooo!!! She’s bleeding” The doctor said in fear,
“Get me sedative, everybody leaves” He ordered
“But….. ” I made to argue, but Rex took my hand and went out, we could only see them through the transparent window, I saw as the nurses held her down while the doctor gave her an injection and she fell asleep
“Doctor” I rush forward as he came out”
“Me Baldwin she needs urgent blood transfusion as she already loses a lot of blood”
“Alright you can take mine,” I said in eagerness and fear
“Come to the lab, we need to test if it’s a match”
I followed the doctor while Rex stayed behind with Bianca, we went into the testing room and my blood was taken
“Mr. Baldwin you can go and wait outside while the nurse text and see if your blood is a match”
“Okay,” I nodded, and walked out repeatedly,
”How did it go?” Bianca bombard me with questions immediately after I came out
“They are testing to see if the result is a match”
“Ohh okay” She calmed down and sat back on the seat
“It’s okay Nick, we will get through this” Rex squeeze my shoulder
“I hope so” I sighed,
Thirty minutes later the doctor walked toward us with a brown envelope looking sad
“Doctor…” I called standing up
“I’m sorry Mr. Baldwin, you have cancer which is in stage four, we can’t use your blood”
“Whatttt!!” I screamed
