Isabella

I could hear men talking in hushed tones and whoever was holding my hand left it go but before I could start to panic I felt soft gentle lips press against my forehead. The warmth and calmness that that simple kiss gave me made me want to pull whoever it was back towards me. I didn’t want them to leave me. I needed whoever it was to stay with me. I didn’t want to be alone but at the same time I couldn’t get my voice to work to tell them to stay either.  Hearing what sounded like a door opening and then more talking I knew I wasn’t alone. Once the talking stopped all of a sudden there was a loud slamming of a door before I felt hands holding onto mine on either side of me. I had never felt so frustrated with not been able to open my eyes. As crazy as it sounds, it felt as if I was there but wasn’t at the same time.  

I heard more talking followed by some cold liquid being poured onto my tummy. Shivering I tried opening my eyes again but they just wouldn’t no matter how hard I tried. Something cold and flat rolled along my little swollen bump spreading and warming the cold liquid. I could hear a faint thumping noise and before I could make out what was happening the gel was being wiped off my tummy.  The silence in the room made me a little anxious but hearing my best friends soon put my mind at peace.

Isabella its ok, you’re going to be fine. The baby is fine. Come on please open your eyes. Please” Hearing the desperate pleads coming from Lisa and Elle my heart sped up.  The baby was ok; I was going to be ok and they were here with me. With the bright light no longer blinding me along with the relief of knowing that my baby was ok I managed to open my eyes on my first attempt.  Feeling slightly disoriented I closed my eyes for a few seconds then taking in a few deep steadying breaths I reopened my eyes again only this time instead of the blurry vision I had last time, all I could see now was a hysterical Elle and Lisa by my side.

They were both stood at my side looking as white as ghosts crying their hearts out. I suddenly felt guilty for causing them to worry so much but the way they hugged me when they noticed me looking at them I knew they were going to be ok. After a couple of minutes I began taking in my surroundings.  Noticing that I was no longer on the ground where I remember falling or in my bed confused me. The only other place I could think I was was the hospital but this room looked too cosy and lived in to be a surgical hospital room. My pulse quickened as fear of being in this unknown place registered in my still out of sort’s brain. The blood in my veins felt as if they were pumping over time as well as the loud pounding of my heart.

 “Isabella there’s no need to panic…… Joshua found you and brought you back to his house. He even had his own private doctor come to check you over. I swear he looked like he was going to have a heart attack.  Listen you and the baby are both fine the doctor has even told us.” Out of everything she just said all that seemed to register was that my baby was fine and Joshua.  I knew they were only trying to reassure me that everything was alright but it wasn’t. If Joshua had called in a doctor then surely he knows that I’m pregnant by now and to be honest it scared the living daylights out of me. Why? Because as stupid as this may seem I wasn’t ready to let him go yet, even though he wasn’t mine in the first place but knowing there will never be a chance for us being an us hurt more than I ever thought it would.

 Lisa and Elle snapped me back to the here and now as they shouted my name out. “Sorry what did you say?” I asked.

With my throat feeling dry and sore I had hardly recognised my own voice. My head was throbbing as severe pain hit as I spoke. Reaching my hands up to my head I tried to cradle it in hope it would stop the pain in some way.

“Girls I’m going to need you both to move so I can help your friend here.” I hadn’t heard the voice before but I knew it had to be the doctor and although I didn’t want the girls to leave me I needed the doctor to stop this pain. It was becoming unbearable.

As if the doctor could read my mind he ended up pushing Elle aside and injecting my arm with something. Instantly feeling the relief of whatever he injected me with, I released my head from my clenched hands and laid back into the pillow. The doctor was now at my side asking me question after question. As hard and irritating as he was I managed to answer as many as I could but feeling drained, answering him was becoming too much hard work. Thankfully I didn’t have to tell him though as he spoke up.

 “That will be all for now Isabella. Now I need you to rest. There will be no leaving this bed for you for at least the next forty-eight hours. I will be back in the morning to check on you and your baby.” He didn’t even give me a chance to refuse or even ask him if Joshua knew that I was pregnant as he packed up his bag and left in record time.

 He had left me alone in this room in Joshua’s house. As if that reality had only just settled into my brain I began to panic. How could I stay here? Damn I was meant to be trying to distance myself from him not bloody moving in with him. Before I could work myself up any more Elle and Lisa entered the room.

“Oh thank god you’re alright, you had us so worried Isabella.” Lisa said whilst sounding mad but relieved at the same time.

“I’m sorry” I apologized. Not that I really knew what I was apologizing for but it seemed the right thing to do and by the smiles they both gave me in return, I knew it was right.

 “Well never mind all that now, I’m just glad that both mother and baby are ok.” Hearing someone calling me mother made me smile. It was like the connection between my baby and I became real.  Not that I didn’t believe I was pregnant or anything but it just made everything so much clearer. The bond between me and my baby had been growing stronger but now it felt… I don’t know how to explain it. It just felt so right. This was the way my life’s path was meant to be. Smiling to myself, Elle as usual started jumping to conclusions and that’s when she reminded me of Joshua.

 “Does he know?” I asked my voice sounding as worried as I felt. Yes I’m pathetic but who cares. I needed to know if he knew I was pregnant or not. No that’s a lie, I had a feeling he had been told already and I wanted to know what his reaction was.  Then again I guess I should know the answer already because with Joshua no longer here in the room…well it was pretty obvious.

“No he doesn’t. He was called away before the doctor got that far.”  I couldn’t believe it. To say I was shocked was an understatement especially with the way my luck had been going lately. I sucked in a big lung full of air as I silently thanked God above.

Why I felt so relieved I will never know but I did. I wanted to be the one to tell him I was pregnant but I think I needed to tell Jaxon first or do I? Well for now I wasn’t going to think about any of that. However, I did want to know what they had found out about Jaxon but just not right now maybe later or even tomorrow as all I wanted to do right now was sleep.

****************************

Oh god what do you think  is going to happen next?

Poor Isabella must be peeing her pants with nerves...Can you imagine being in her position? OH my god how is she going to cope when Joshua comes back? so many unanswered questions and there is still Jaxon! but don't worry all will be revealed ;)

A massive thank you goes out to all of you for taking the time to read, vote and comment. 

Loves you all so much Mel xoxo
