A Little Miracle
Summary: Augustus left Hazel something to remember him by. Hazel finds out about it the day after Gus left her.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Fault In Our Stars whatsoever. Just a thought, alright?! Also, my first fanfic for this alright? :) I'm sorry really if any characters are OCC.
~O~
I've been feeling sick lately, but I can just play it off as being worried about my Augustus. He's dying. Gosh, I really hope he can beat this again, win. Why did it have to be him? Why did it have to be so painful? I love him.
"Hazel, sweetheart? Are you in the bathroom?"
It was my mother.
"Yes!" I shout out before coughing, throwing up yet again my breakfast into the toilet. Was this because of my lungs too? Has it always been like this with them? No, not that I remember…
Once I finish throwing up, I stand up shaking heavily but then my mother is there, taking me into her arms to stop me from falling. She looks worried and I feel worried. Why did everything have to be so weird? "Sweetie, I'm taking you to the hospital. This has happened way too much." My mother said as she began to lead me to the car.
"Mom, I'm fine."
"No you are not! Hazel, you've been throwing up for the past week!" My mother did not look happy so I fell quiet. So instead, I thought of my time with Augustus. I wish he would be okay.
-O-
At the doctor's office, I'm sitting on the table well kicking my legs. My doctor looked worried upon seeing me, but I just smile it off. I was remembering about my time with Augustus when he took me to see my favorite writer only to be heartbroken. I remembered the time we lost our virginities together.
"Good morning Hazel," I look up to find the doctor. "How are you feeling? Are your lungs doing alright?"
I nod. "Of course, I'm not here about them."
My mother gave me a disappointed look. I shrugged. The doctor looked surprised. "Then what is it?" She asked.
"I've been throwing up for the past week." I explained simply, "I don't know what could be wrong or whatever but mom wanted me to see you."
The doctor stared for a moment before jumping to ask another question. "For a week, you say?"
I nodded. "Yup. A whole week! Once in the morning before I eat, then after I eat, if I smell scrambled eggs then too and right after dinner!" I explained with a heavy heart. "Mom thinks it's my lungs."
The doctor rubbed her chin. "Hmm… Hazel, I know this might be awkward but I must know. Have you and your boyfriend had…intercourse?"
My mouth dropped open. Did she think I was….Pregnant?
My mother stepped in. "Hazel can't…no, she's never…!"
"Umm yes. Yes we've had…." I whispered.
"Hazel!" My mother looked angry and worried as well now.
The doctor wrote something down. "When was the last time you had your period?"
Oh my god, she did think I was pregnant! "Umm….5 weeks ago I believe?" I said sheepishly.
My mother stared at me. "Hazel…."
The doctor nodded as she got up. "When did you and your boyfriend have intercourse last?"
"When we went on that trip to Amsterdam. It was maybe 3 weeks ago?" I said counting the time. It had been 3 weeks…and Augustus was getting so sick…my Gus!
The doctor moved around her office before giving me a small stick which she had taken out of a box. "Would you mind going to pee on this for me? Then come back after wrapping it in a paper towel. Alright?" she said.
I took it as I nodded, going to the bathroom that was connected to the office. I pee on it carefully, nervously but soon I'm back in the office giving it to the doctor. My mother hasn't said a word in awhile and I look at her, seeing worry and pain in her eyes. What did my mother think would happen? Five minutes later, the doctor is looking up at me. "Hazel,"
"Yes?" I gulped.
"You're pregnant."
I fall onto my chair, staring with my mouth hanging open. My mother jumped off her chair to get to me. "That can't be!"
I stare as I try to get air to my lungs before I pass out.
-O-
I wake up awhile later, my father and mother by my bedside. I blinked as I winced. "Mom? Dad?" I whispered.
"Hazel!" My mother said as she moved closer. "How are you feeling honey?"
"Sore," I mumbled.
They nodded. "Do you need anything?" Dad asked.
"Is my baby okay?" I asked.
Mom nodded. "Yes…"
"Can I call Gus?" I asked my mother. "Please?"
Dad and mom share a look before they're looking at me. "Mom?" I asked.
"Honey," mom began. "Augustus passed away…last night actually."
NO!
I break down crying at the thought of my Augustus never seeing our beautiful child or even knowing about it! My mother took me into her arms and hugged me well I cried.
-Nine Months Down The Road-
I had just had my baby. I was a mother! Thankfully, my lungs were doing alright if I said so myself. The baby turned out to be a little boy with brown hair like my own but he had Augustus's eyes. My baby looked up at me from suckling on my breast. I never thought I'd get to be a mother before, but I was thankful to have this little moment of my own.
"Hello." I whispered to my baby who stared up at me. He suckled some more. I ran my fingers through his hair as he watched me. "You remind me so much of your daddy…"
A nurse entered the room. "Hello Miss Hazel, I was wondering what you'd like to call your baby? Do you have a name?" The nurse asked.
I nodded. "This is my little Augustus Junior Waters-Lancaster."
The nurse wrote it down, took my name and Augustus's dad's name, which was Augustus Waters. "So you named him after his dad, eh?" The nurse asked, smiling.
I nodded as I looked down at my baby. "Yes….yes, I did."
THE END
