I was tired. It was late into the night, and I was struggling to keep my eyes open. My eyelids were so heavy. I leaned my head back against the wall and closed my eyes for a second. “Miss,” a nurse nudged me awake. I had somehow laid down across several chairs and was in an awkward position with my baby bump. I fluttered my eyes open, confused over my position. “Are you alright?” She asked. “Sorry, I must have drifted off. I’m waiting for an update on my partner.” I croaked the words out as I sat back up and rubbed my eyes. “Would you like me to see if I could get an update for you?” “You can try but his family has blocked me and won’t let anyone update me.” “Why don’t you come with me?” She offered. I stretched my limbs out and slowly took to my feet. I followed her down the hall and into a family room that had a sofa and some chairs in.“Why don’t you make yourself comfortable here and I will see what I can do for you. What is you partners name?”“Damian Blackwood.”She nodd

The next few hours passed by with me huddled in the family room. I took a walk down to the food court area and grabbed a sandwich and a hot drink. I needed something to give me some energy. It didn’t matter what they said, or what threats they spouted at me, I was not leaving unless Damian told me to. I knew they would be bringing him around soon, if they hadn’t already. It was only a matter of time until he asked for me and the nurses would fetch me. As soon as I was finished, I headed back to the family room and tried to ask the nurses on shift if they could inform me when Damian was awake. They agreed but something told me that I wouldn’t be hearing from them. I could see the look of fear in their eyes. Cleo messaged me to say that she was on her way back to the hospital. I told her where she could find me once she had arrived. It wasn’t long until she knocked on the door and entered.“Hey.” I smiled at her.“How are you doing?” She asked.“I would be a lot better if I could see

I could hear voices around me as the room around me was coming to life. I could hear my father and Prue arguing. They were blaming Erin for the accident. I kept my eyes closed for a while listening to what they were saying. There was no sound of Erin in the room. The tone on their voices told me that she was not there. I had to wonder if she was in the hospital, I knew she had to be as I had updated her as my emergency contact. So, I knew that she would have been contacted but if my family was here, there was a chance that they had chased her away. I opened my eyes as I heard footsteps. I hoped it was them leaving, I was wrong it was a nurse entering to check on my observations. “Ah, Mr. Blackwood.” She announced. I rolled my eyes, thanks! I thought. “Damian!” Prue exclaimed. “You’re awake. It’s about time sleepy head.” She was trying to be playful, but after what she had just been saying I was not in the mood. “Where’s Erin?” I demanded.“Not here, son.”“By her choice or y

I paced back and forth for what felt like hours. I knew that the nurse would update me as soon as Erin was back. Her mum had arrived and I had told her about the baby. She had gone for fresh air outside. She hadn’t asked too many questions about how it had happened yet. I assumed that she had assumed that Erin had fallen. I decided that it was time to find out if Prue had told Damian and if she hadn’t, she was going to force her to tell him. She was also going to be the one to tell Damian that the baby had succumbed to the injuries.I found Damian’s room and he was alone. I was about to turn and walk away to look for Prue when he spotted me.“Cleo?” He called my name.I turned and smiled softly.“What are you doing here? Is Erin alright?”I sighed. I felt tears pricking in my eyes. I should not have been shocked, but Prue had not told him anything.“I was looking for Prue.”“She was outside a few minutes ago.” He paused, “She’s there.” He pointed.I turned to go after her.“Cleo!” D

My mum came to see me in between Cleo and Damian coming in and out. I needed time alone but neither of them dared to leave me alone for too long. She was livid and was out for blood with Prue and I couldn’t blame her. Damian had mentioned me pressing charges against Prue, but we both knew that nothing would be done about me losing our son as he was still classed as a fetus and not a baby. The only thing she would be charged with was the damage she had done to me with the injuries caused by pushing me down the stairs. We also knew that even though she pushed me, she could argue that it was not meant to be down the stairs. I opted to not report her. There was enough to deal with without charges, police, and a court case on top. Damian had made it clear of his future plans but he was already thinking too far in the future for my liking. I was still in a hospital bed, wanting to see our son. He was already making plans to sell his company and house and cut ties with his family. I knew h
