Mag-log inSeveral 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.
Ava was sitting on the hospital bed silently, and her hands were tightly wrapped around the thin blanket. The smell in the room was chemical, and the intense, glaring lights overhead made everything a reality. She was quite sober now, and her head was no longer so dizzy.Two physicians were standing close to the desk and reading the test results a second time. One of them appeared disoriented, and the other one was trying to look at the computer monitor.Ava watched them nervously."Excuse me," she said softly.Both doctors looked at her."Is somethi
The ambulance siren answered the quiet street end, and the paramedics hurried Ava into the ambulance. Daniel leapt into the car next to her with a worried face, and Riley stood outside, huddling herself around herself in a fit of terror.Riley hesitated and said to the paramedic, "Please, take care of her.The paramedic closed the doors of the ambulance and replied calmly: " We will.Ava was still unconscious on the stretcher in the ambulance. One of the machines beside her beeped softly, checking her heartbeat.Daniel was sitting beside her, and he was holding her by the hand.
It was some weeks after that night.Marcus did as he said and stayed aloof.He would never see the house again. He did not call Ava. He did not send messages. All he did was quietly check on her through Daniel, occasionally just to ensure that she was all okay.And whenever Daniel talked to him, Marcus put the same question."How is she?"In the majority of cases, Daniel replied similarly."She's fine."
The dining room was too quiet.Ava was sitting at a table, her hands clasped in her lap. Patricia was sitting right across from her and set the plates with super accuracy. Ava shuddered with every piece of noise the ceramics made on the wooden table.Patricia cleared her throat.“My mind has been m
The school hall was sort of a noisy place, all the usual.Lockers slammed shut. Students laughed, chatted, and ran to their classes. Ava moved at a slow pace as she went through it, her pack slung carelessly on her shoulder. Everything sounded too loud. The odours were simply dizzying.Her stomach
The hospital was cold and smelly. Ava was simply sitting in that long plastic chair in the waiting room with her hands placed in her lap. She looked at the white wall, and it was not where her head was. Every single sound, like the quiet footsteps of the nurses, the low beep of the machines, the
Marcus stood there in the living room, with his heart beating like a maniac.Patricia stood a couple of steps away, with her phone down and her back straight. The room was very tense, as though he could feel some kind of weight on his chest.“So?” Marcus asked. You were speaking of a wedding.Patric
