Abandoned - 4
During that month Martha missed Lionel a lot, her tummy had become bigger, and Lionel had phoned her twice every day.
Martha: Clark will be waiting for you at the airport… I'm too much fat to go out… - she laughed – I had asked him to do it, and he said yes immediately… I think that he's happy with all this, Lionel… He like the idea of having a little brother or sister… and he understand that I'm happy with you…
Lionel: Well, since tomorrow I will be there every day to enjoy that happiness with you…
Martha: I had missed you too much! But I will cook a great meal for tomorrow's lunch!
Lionel: I had missed your meals too much! – they both sent a kiss to each other and put the phone down.
The next day Martha was cooking the lunch, waiting for her son and Lionel to come. Three hours after Lionel's plane had arrived nobody had came to the farm… Martha started to be worry, when Clark opened the door…
Martha: Clark, dear! I started to think that you wouldn't come! Where's Lionel?
Clark: Mum… - he seemed worried.
Martha: What's on? Where's Lionel? What's the matter?
Clark: Mum… Lionel's planes haven't arrived today…
Martha: Why? There's bad weather? Will it come tomorrow?
Clark: No mum – he was crying – It have crashed…
Martha: What?! – she needed to sit down – What do you mean?!
Clark: I the airport they said that it felt… but they have lost the signal… nobody knows where's the plain…
Martha: It felt… it crashed… Lionel! – she was feeling sick… she couldn't breath well… she faint.
Martha woke up at the hospital… Clark was next to her.
Martha: Clark… Clark… - she didn't breathe well.
Clark: Mum! You're back! How do you feel?
Martha: How's the baby?
Clark: She's ok.
Martha: She?!
Clark smiled: The doctor made you a resonance… They said me that it's a girl… you're going to have a little nice daughter, mummy!
Martha: That's great! Lionel will be so happy!
Clark changed his expression… he was happy and now he was sad…
Clark: Mum… don't you remember why you fainted?
Martha was a while in silent… thinking… remembering… and suddenly she started to cry…
Martha: The plane crashed… he's dead, isn't he?
Clark: Well… they haven't found the plane… but… it's really difficult that anybody have survived to the fell… I'm so sorry, mum – he hugged her.
