FAZER LOGINIt was late in the afternoon, and the house of Daniel was silent. Curtains were partly shut, and there was soft light in the living room. Ava was sitting on the couch with a cup of tea, yet she was not drinking it. She had tired eyes and a pale face.Her hand was touching her stomach.“Please, please, stay,” she thought to herself.The door suddenly made a soft knock.Ava frowned.Daniel had walked away, and Riley was not anticipated."Who is it?" Ava called.
The hospital corridor seemed to be long and silent as Ava walked slowly towards the maternity clinic. In her arms, she had a small folder. It contained all the documents of her new tests and appointments. She had been informed by the doctors that she would undergo numerous checkups henceforth as the pregnancy was regarded as high-risk.This morning, Riley had promised to go with her.But Ava had refused.“Well, I will be all right,” she said.She was now alone in the waiting room, so she asked herself whether that was the right thing to do.
Daniel held the phone to his ear when Marcus questioned him. He did not know what to say momentarily. He looked into the hallway, at Ava's room. The door was still closed. She was likely having a rest, as the doctor had himself told.The voice of Marcus appeared again around the phone, though softer and graver.Mr Clarke... vows to tell me the truth.Daniel made his way slowly to the living room window. Outdoors, the afternoon sun was going down, and the sky was turning orange."Marcus," Daniel finally said."Yes?" Marcus answered quickly.
Several days had gone by since Ava had gone home after leaving the hospital. The physicians had advised her to sleep as much as she can. She was not supposed to stress herself, and she was to visit the hospital frequently to get checkups. Daniel ensured that she took all the orders seriously. Riley was also keeping a close eye on her, constantly checking on her.But Ava's mind was not calm.It was the thought that she awoke to every day.A baby.The secret was heavy in her breast.Meanwhile, Marcus did not know what had happened in the hospital.
It was very long before the doctor came out of the room, and Ava sat quietly on the hospital bed. The television set was also switched off, and the beating of the heart was no longer audible, but she still remembered the heartbeat.A baby.One baby survived.The hands on her stomach seemed to be too terrified to move.Daniel was standing close to the window, and he was still attempting to make everything the doctor said sink in. Riley sat next to Ava and gazed at her.No one spoke for a long time.
The muffled beat of the heart still reverberated in the hospital room. No one said anything, but all the people present could hear it. Ava sat motionlessly on the bed, looking at the tiny screen as though her brain had broken down."A heartbeat..." she whispered again.She started to tremble with her hands.Daniel gazed out of the screen at the physician. His face was all confused.“Meaning, just what do you mean,” doctor?A deep breath came to the doctor before he answered.
The voice of Elena was smooth and calm, except that something sharp underlined it, and Ava paused to walk."No," Elena said firmly. "You are not going to see Lydia."Ava stood paralysed in the hospital room hall. She had been practising what she had to say all morning and had been holding the words
The ride to the home of Marcus was silent. Too quiet. Ava sat in a passenger seat with clasped hands over her stomach and looked through the window as the city lights went by. Marcus maintained a focus on the road, closed his mouth and his mind was not in the moment. Nobody said anything and the sil
Ava entered the house and shut the door as gently as possible. The silence still seemed too loud in the sound. Her feet were tired of the heavy shoes she had, and her body was sore not only because it was a long day but also because of all that had taken place. The bridal gown had been taken, the c
Lydia did not move until the sound had subsided in the hall. Her hands were trembling, her chest was tight, and all the whispers she had heard were still reverberating in her head. Marcus was at a few paces off the altar, stiff and pale, and had the appearance of a man who had been struck by an obje
