I held Joe's hand as we rushed in the hospital, dodging paparazzi. Once the word was out about Milly, they flew in like vultures. They had already entered the grounds and were held at the gate to the building by the security of the hospital. They shooted questions as we passed from our car to the inside of the building, but we ignored.

Once inside Joe asked a nurse about Nick and the nurse was kind enough to guide us to the waiting room.

We stood outside the room, cranning our necks to find Nick. The waiting room was a big room with lots of tables and chairs. It was crowded too. Not much but I could easily make out 20 people.

There was he. I spotted Nick at the far end of the room, away from the crowd. He was sitting on a chair, his back and head leaning against the wall.

I pulled the hem of Joe's shirt and pointed towards Nick. We started walking towards him, again people staring now and then.

Nick was staring straight ahead, his eyes puffy and red of crying. As soon as he saw us, he stood up and hugged Joe. Joe held him tight and Nick cried.

My eyes started watering too. I didn't know if the matter was serious or Nick was over worried, but I didn't like it. I rubbed Nick's back as he cried in Joe's hold. The sobbing and crying only ended when the doctor came to us.

'Doctor how is she?' Nick asked, wiping his tears.

'Its too soon to tell.' the doctor responded. 'Your wife has a heart problem. We all are aware that sometimes her heart gets a little big and starts beating faster than its supposed to.'

'But she never had a problem with that. Her heart would come back to normal and..' Nick explained, trying to convince the doctor that it was a normal thing.

'Yes I know. But Miley is now sharing her body. There are changes in her body and it seems that the heart has not yet registered it. She is under observation and we will know for certain only after an hour.'

We all nodded.

'And one more thing,' the doctor continued, 'There might be a situation..like 2%..that we would have to either save the mother or the baby. Its your call.'

Nick looked at me and Joe, his face blank.

I didn't say anything because it was his choice to make, not ours.

'The mother!' he finally said.

The doctor nodded and went away.

'I need some air.' Nick said and walked towards the door.

'I will go with you.' Joe followed him.

I sank down on the chair where Nick was sitting before.

An old lady, maybe in her 60's sat on the chair next to me.

I smiled at her as she did too.

I started biting my nails, coming to scary conclusion about Miley.

'The waiting part is the hardest.' the old lady said, almost making me jump.

'I am waiting on my husband.' she informed. Even though I didn't ask, I wanted to know.

'What happened to him?' I asked.

'He had tumour removed from his brain. The doc says if he doesn't wake up in five hours..he might just slip away.'

'I am sorry.' I said, not knowing what to say anymore.

'Who are you waiting upon?' she asked.

'My friend. She has a heart that throws tantrums now and then. Its a lot more complicated now that she is pregnant.' I said, my eyes watering again.

'I am Elise. You?' she said.

She didn't know who I was? Well!

'Nicole.' I lied. It felt nice talking to someone who doesn't sugarcoat words cause I am famous.

'I and Rob have been together for forty three years. My grand daughter is suppose to visit us next week. They both go bowling and watch games together.' she said, gazing in the memory lane.

'How old is she?'

'She is nineteen. She will lose it if she hears about this. She loves us too much.' she answered.

'Rob is just gonna be fine.' I said.

She smiled 'If you say so.'

'Lets pray.' I said streching my hand.

She interwined her fingers with mine and closed her eyes.

I too closed my eyes and put Miley and Rob in my prayers.

A/N: Next chapter has a new character. Any guesses?
