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 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
