Chapter 10
Sophie pov
I watched Sian hang up the phone and saw panic in her eyes. Her hands were shaking she was stumbling over her words.
"Sian… what is it" I snapped at her as I shook her shoulders.
"Lily…. She…. Derek took her to the hospital…." She started rambling, but as soon as I heard the combination of Lily and hospital I stood up and put on my coat. "Soph…. what if she…" she started panicking.
"Sian" I said as I cupped her face as she met my eyes. "Calm down okay….. Don't panic….we're going to the hospital and see what's happening okay" I said to her as she breathed shakily. "Math grab your coat, we have to go see your sister" I said to him as he put on his coat and grabbed my hand.
We rushed to the hospital. Sian almost knocked down a couple nurses while making her way to the E.R..
"Derek" she shouted as we saw him standing at the end the hallway. He hugged her as I got to him and joined the hug.
"What happened" I asked him as he started fiddling with his hands.
"I don't know….she had a small fever before and I left her for like a half an hour to get a brew and…..then she….I checked her fever and it was so high, dangerously high….I'm sorry" he started rambling.
"Hey it's okay…. thank you for calling us" I said to him.
"Did you see a doctor yet" Sian asked him as he shook his head.
"No they told me only family could see the doctor, I didn't know what to do" he stated as I hugged him again. We waited for a half an hour as a doctor came to speak to us.
"Mrs. Webster" he said as we both got up holding each other's hand.
"Is she okay, what happened" Sian asked nervously.
"She's fine, we put her on some fluids and medication to get her fever down….. She had a small infection so we also put her on medication that will help fighting It." he stated as I felt Sian's hand relax.
"Can we see her" she asked him as he nodded.
"Of course" he said as we both went to her room as Derek followed with Matty in his arms. As we reached the room I realized that we were still holding hands. Sian pulled me to the bed.
"Are they sure she's okay, she has so many tubes and wires…. Why does she have so many wires Soph" she said as she turned to me.
"I don't know…. Look she'll be fine okay…. she's a fighter just like her mum… the doctor said she's gonna be all right, okay" I said as Sian snaked her hands around my waist a buried her face in my chest.
"Hey little girl you gave me quit the scare" Derek said as he leaned over the bed.
"Yeah she gave us all a scare" I stated as I was stroking Sian's hair. Derek looked at me and smirked as he looked at Sian who was resting her head in the crook of my neck.
"Uhm come on Math, let me show you the coffee machine" he said as he took Matthew out of the room leaving me alone with Sian.
"Come on let's sit down okay…. it's been a long day" I said to her as she followed me. I realized there was only one chair and let go of her so she could sit down.
"Sophie what about you" she asked as I shrugged.
"It's okay, I'm fine standing right here" I smiled as she shook her head and pushed me down on the chair. "Sian you're exhausted, you should…" I didn't have time to finish my sentence as she sat down on my lap and buried her head in my neck. "Sian what are you doing" I asked her as she sighed.
"Just shut up" she stated as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I smiled as I looked into her eyes. I wanted to kiss her so badly, make her feel better, but I knew if I kissed her I would only push her away. "Okay" I whispered as I snaked my hands around her waist. Before I knew it she started whimpering again. "Hey it's okay….she's okay" I said as I pulled her into me.
"Thank you" she mumbled in my neck as I felt her tears fall down on my shoulder. "For what" I whispered in her ear as she snapped her head up and look straight at me.
"Being here….. I don't know if I could've handled this on my own" she stated as my phone started buzzing. "Sorry… it's work, I'll turn it off" I stated as she frowned.
"No Soph…. it might be important" she said as I hung up. "No it won't be….it's fine, they're probably whining why I left so early" I stated as she smiled.
"I thought you were working overtime" she asked me as I nodded. "Yeah I was…..I finished the work in time though… can't do anymore assignments if I don't have any" I smirked as she hugged me and my phone started buzzing again. I sighed. "Answer it" she stated.
"Sian…." I started saying as she took the phone out of my hands and answered it for me.
"Hello….what? No this is Sia… this is her wife" she said as her gaze intensified. I realized to whom she was talking and snatched the phone out of her hands. "Hello this is Sophie Webster" I said into the phone.
"Oh hey Soph, it's Luca" he said as I smiled.
"Hey…. Look now isn't a good time" I said to him as he sighed.
"Soph you need to give a statement, the police won't be able to keep him for much longer if you don't press charges" he stated as I started fiddling nervously with the hem of my shirt.
"Look I'm at the hospital I can't talk right now okay" I said to him as he agreed and hung up.
"What was that all about, who were you talking to" she asked me as I sighed.
"No one" I answered as she raised an eyebrow.
"Seemed pretty familiar with him" she snarled as I felt her tense up.
"Well I'm not, can mind you own fucking business for once please" I said as she got off my lap and I stormed out of the room.
…
Sian pov
I felt myself getting jealous as I heard her talking to that guy. "I didn't mean to snarl at her, it just got under my skin that her friend would be calling her now." I thought.
"Where did Sophie go" Derek asked as he came back into the room with Matthew.
"She went for a bit of fresh air" I lied as Derek looked at me suspiciously. I walked over to Lily's cot and looked at my little girl that seemed to be sound asleep.
"Sian what happened" he asked me as I shrugged. "We're both just very stressed" I stated as he scoffed. "For god sakes Sian, your daughter is in the hospital and you're still arguing" he snarled at me.
"Please… don't lecture me right now" I said to him. "I know okay" I stated as he put his arm around my shoulder.
"Look just rest, I'll take Matty home with me so you can relax a bit okay" he suggested as I nodded. "Thanks…. Matty, honey Uncle Derek is gonna take you home okay" I said to him as he started shaking his head. "Math…" I started saying as he hugged my waist.
"No! I wanna stay here with you and mummy and Lily" he stated as I kneeled down and hugged him.
"I know babe, but it's already beyond your bedtime…. Please, we'll be home tomorrow okay" I said to him as he started fussing.
"No…. where's mum" he yammered as I sighed and dropped my head.
"She just nipped out for a second, but she'll be home tomorrow okay….please baby" I said to him as he rubbed his eyes and nodded. "Thank you" I said to him as I got up and kissed Derek on the cheek.
"Take care yeah…." I said as he hugged me and left the room with Matty.
I sat down in the chair and tried to put myself in a comfortable position as I started to doze off.
…
"Sian are you ready to go" I heard her shout.
"Yeah… as good as ready" I squealed as I almost jumped down the stairs.
"Sian be careful, you have to take it easy…. I don't want you overdoing it" she said to me as I rolled my eyes.
"Soph, I'm pregnant not cripple….did you get peanut butter and pickles" I asked her as she scrunched up her nose.
"Yeah I did…. honey those cravings of yours get weirder by the week… seriously" she smirked as I slapped her arm playfully.
"Let's go yeah" I said as we drove to the hospital.
….
"Ah here's my favourite couple" Dr. Denora said as we got into her office. "So how are you doing, any pains, discomfort….." she started saying as we shook our heads. "Good, now let's take a look" she stated as she put me on the consulting table. Sophie sat in the chair next to me and held my hand.
"Okay this is gonna be a little cold" she said as put the gel on my belly. "Strong heartbeat…..okay do you want to know the baby's sex" she said as I frowned confused.
"What?Wait I thought we could only know it in about 2 weeks" I stated as she smiled at me.
"Well normally yes, but I can already determine the sex….so would you like to know it" she asked me as I looked at Sophie.
"Do you want to… I know we haven't really discussed it but…" I started saying as Sophie put her finger on my mouth.
"I want to know if you want to know" she smiled as I nodded at the doctor.
"Okay well you're having a girl, congratulations….I'll give you two a minute" she smiled as she left a room.
"We're having a girl" she whispered.
"Yeah…. We're having a girl" I squealed as I hugged her. We both started laughing. "God I'm so happy you came back for this consult" I said as I kissed her passionately. "Me too" she breathed in between kisses. My tong was gliding over her bottom lip begging her for entrance as she eagerly granted it. Our tongs battled passionately as the kiss got heated. "Make love to me Soph" I moaned in her mouth as she pulled away.
"Really" she smirked as I pulled her back into me. "What right now…. Here" she asked as I nibbled her neck. "Sian… we can't…. hospital…" she was moaning inbetween her words. "SIAN stop…. I'm taking you home and I'll make love to you there" she stated sternly as I started chuckling. "You're unbelievable" she smirked.
"I can't help it these pregnancy hormones are making me horny and we haven't had a chance to be together since you got back yesterday" I pouted as she kissed my lips.
"Well let's go then" she whispered as Dr. Denora came back into the room.
"Sian…..Sian….Sia…." I heard someone repeating my name.
…
"Sian…. Wake up…. Sian" I felt someone shaking me as I opened my eyes.
"Sophie?" I asked as she smiled.
"Hey…. Sorry to wake you, but the doctor's was just here…. I thought you'd wanna know…" she said to me looking at the bed as I realized where I was. I was back in the hospital room, with my Lily in a hospital bed.
"Yeah it's fine, what did he say" I asked her as she smiled at me.
"We can take her home tomorrow" she smiled as I sighed in relief.
"Thank god for that" I stated as she shuffled awkwardly. "Listen Sian, I'm sorry about before… I shouldn't have snapped at you." she said to me as I looked down.
"No I'm sorry…. I was acting weird… truce" I said as she nodded. "Yeah truce" she smiled as someone knocked at the door.
We both turned around and saw a guy standing awkwardly in the doorway.
