"Grace" Trevor ran over to her and knelt down beside her.
"Trevor, the baby" she cried hysterically.
"Okay, I'm going to get you to hospital, don't worry baby I'm here" he said as the only thought was that he had to help her "Can you walk? I need you to get in the car" she tried to get up by another blast of agonising pain shot through her and she fell back to the ground.
"No, no" she cried as Trevor was already phoning an ambulance.
"Okay, just try to relax, the ambulance will be here soon, you're going to be okay" he said, kissing her forehead.
Grace just cried out as she feared for her baby.
"It's happening again" she sobbed "I'm losing my baby, please Trevor you can't let me lose her"
"Shh, try to stay calm, I know it hurts" he said as a single tear fell from his eye which he quickly wiped away.
...
Trevor paced back and forth as he waited to hear news about Grace and the baby.
"Mr Royale..." a nurse called causing Trevor to snap his head up and run over to her "Is she okay? What about the baby? Please tell me the baby's okay" he asked in a rush.
"Mr Royale, if you'd like to follow me please" the nurse said.
"Why aren't you tell me anything?" Trevor asked "I've lost them haven't I" he added in a whisper.
"Your girlfriend is fine, if you follow me a Doctor will be able to tell you more"
"Fiancé" Trevor corrected but knowing what Grace had done made him clench his fists in anger, though it soon disappeared again when the thought of his unborn daughter flooded his mine; he couldn't lose her.
As they arrived at a cubical the nurse opened the curtain for them.
"Grace" he whispered as he saw her lying on the bed "Hey" she said faintly as she gave him a hopeful smile.
"Is the baby okay?"he asked and she nodded before the Doctor that Trevor had hardly taken any notice of spoke up "Mr Royale as I was explaining to your girlfriend..."
"Fiancé" Grace interpreted.
"Fiancé" the Doctor corrected as Trevor frowned to himself "It appears your Fiancé has gone into early stages of labour, we have put her on medication to try and prevent it and we'll need to keep her in to closely monitor her..."
"But it's too early" Trevor muttered.
"That's why we're given her some medication to stop it" the Doctor told him.
"What if it doesn't work?" Grace asked in a weak voice.
"Well if it's not effective then we get ready to deliver baby, it's not ideal so we need to monitor you closely for the next 48 hours and if you don't go into full labour after that you're out of the woods..."
"So if these drugs don't work my baby will be premature, she can't, she's not even 7 months it's too early" Grace panicked.
"Miss Black please try to calm down, stress won't help the baby" the Doctor said "You're in the best place and if baby does come she will get immediate care, she has the best chance"
"But..." Grace started.
"Your notes say you are 28 weeks pregnant, now this is not ideal but it's not the worst case scenario either" the Doctor said.
"How come she isn't in pain like before?" Trevor asked.
"We gave her some pain medication and it seems to be working" the Doctor smiled "You have to stay positive" he added as he looked from Trevor to Grace and offered her a weak smile before leaving the room.
"Trevor" Grace gasped "I'm so sorry"
"Don't" he said firmly "Just focus on our baby now"
"I'm sorry" Grace whispered as she rolled onto her side as silent tears rolled down her cheeks.
Trevor sighed to himself before sitting down on the chair beside her bed and watching the woman he loved; the woman carrying his child; the woman who cheated on him, but right now the only concern was their daughter.
...
A smile ghost over Trevor's lips as he watched Grace sleep; she was mumbling in her sleep and as he heard his name fall from her lips he smiled, though the smile quickly faded as thoughts of the guy she cheated on him with entered his mind.
