Paint Me A Love Story Chapter 10
Georgia sat down at the table that Thomas, Newt and Daniella were sitting at and fell into easy conversation with them.
"So Georgia, I heard that you're going to be working in the gardens with us today!" Daniella said as Georgia gave her a smile.
"Yeah, Minho and Thomas said that you and Newt would be teaching me all about the different plants and how to take care of them. I'm really excited about learning out in the fields. The sunshine is always really pretty out there."
She said as Daniella nodded and took a sip of her orange juice.
"Oh yeah, the sun always hits the gardens the most so make sure to dress for hot weather. Both Newt and I are really looking forward to showing you a thing or two."
Georgia's brown eyes began to sparkle with happiness making Thomas lean over to Newt with a smile of his own.
"I'm glad the girls are getting along. Hopefully being around Daniella will help Georgia relax a little." Thomas said as both he and Newt looked over at the two chattering girls.
"Oh yeah. No worries there. My lovely wife has the gift of gab and can make anyone talk to her like they've been friends for years. I know things are tough with Gally and Amelia because of her pregnancy, but I think that once Amelia delivers; she'll also help Georgia adjust to life with us."
Thomas nodded as his appointment with Gally's pregnant wife flashed in his mind.
"The baby is too big to be delivered naturally. I think I may have to do a C section to get her out safely." He said as they both glanced over to where Gally was trying to coax a sickly looking Amelia to eat.
"She doesn't look good at all. How soon were you thinking of doing the surgery? She looks like she won't last much longer." Newt said as Thomas frowned.
Looking over at the girl he noticed that she had gone pale and looked as if she was having trouble breathing.
"I think you're right. Her color isn't good. I think I'm going to get Gally and take her to the hospital. That baby needs to come out sooner rather than later." He said as he stood and made his way over to Georgia.
"Hey sweetheart, I have to go take care of something at work. I might not be home tonight if things don't calm down at the hospital. I love you and stay with Newt and Daniella. They'll make sure you get home alright." He said as he kissed her cheek making her blush.
"Love you too, Tom." She murmured as a megawatt smile took over his features.
"See you soon." He said as he turned and quickly made his way over to Gally and Amelia.
Georgia's eyes followed him as her mouth turned into a thin line.
"Is everything alright?" She asked Newt as they all watched Thomas help Gally walk Amelia out of the dining hall.
Concern shown in his eyes as they watched Amelia stumble and Gally bend down to sweep her up into his arms.
"The baby's too big for her to deliver naturally. Tom's going to have to deliver the baby surgically. Amelia isn't looking too good at the moment so he's going to admit her to the hospital." Newt told them making a look of surprise appear on both of their faces.
"But she was fine yesterday at their appointment. What's changed now?" She pressed as she stared at the door of the dining hall where the three had just ran out of.
"Tom will make sure she's taken care of." Daniella said quietly as a worried look passed between her and her husband.
Georgia caught it right away and wasn't convinced that everything was going to be okay at all. "I know that Tom said he was a doctor/surgeon back at Wicked but for fuck's sake he's only 17 years old. Isn't a surgery of that magnitude a little more than he can handle? There's bound to be some type of complications that they'll have to worry about." She said as Newt sighed and looked down at them as Daniella took Georgia's hand and gave it a squeeze.
"We have to have faith that Tommy will do just fine. Doubting his abilities as a doctor is the last thing we need to do right now." Newt said as he watched Georgia's face contort with frustration.
Daniella gently put her head on Georgia's shoulder as the smaller girl wrapped her arms around her thin frame. "But the truth is, we have no idea what's going to happen. We can only hope for the best outcome possible because sometimes blind faith is the only thing we have to go on." She said as Georgia nodded in understanding.
Newt wrapped his arms around both of them and pulled them close wishing that he could make all their worries and concerns disappear.
But he knew that would be impossible seeing as how he couldn't even get rid of his own.
Letting out a deep sigh, he looked down at his wife and his best friend's bride knowing that he had to make sure to keep them busy today so they didn't think about what was going on at the hospital.
So he dropped a kiss on top of both their heads and helped them to their feet.
"Well love, I do believe it's time to go to work. You ready for your first day, Georgia?" He asked as they put their dirty dishes back on the counter and headed out into the bright morning sunlight.
Georgia and Daniella exchanged a look knowing exactly what Newt was doing.
He was attempting to take their minds off of Amelia and Gally but Georgia doubted that they'd think about anything else for the rest of the day.
She and Daniella kept their fingers firmly threaded together as they made their way out into the fields.
Newt walked them over to a large garden shed and handed out rakes, gardening hoes, watering cans and fertilizer.
Next he showed them where the wheelbarrows were kept and helped them load their gardening tools into the belly of their wheelbarrows before leading them out into the fields.
Georgia's eyes went wide at the sight of all the plants and flowers that grew all around them.
For a moment, she forgot her worries as she looked around in wonder.
Newt led them over to where rows and rows of tomatoes were growing and turned to them with a determined look.
"Alright, Georgia. You can till the soil while Daniella picks the ripe tomatoes. I'm going to be following behind you with the watering can and then when we're done we'll spread out several bags of fertilizer, good that?" He said as they both nodded and got to work.
Georgia found that she loved the feeling of raking through the soil and laughed when a rotten tomato dropped onto Daniella's shoes.
She also loved watching Newt tend to the garden with such care.
He looked like he was right in his elements among the greenery.
After a couple of hours of hard work, Newt wiped the sweat from his brow and helped them put their tools back into their wheelbarrows.
"Good job, girls! Georgia, I think it's safe to say you're now a track hoe." He said as he gave her a smirk of approval.
She gave him a tired smile as she wiped the sweat off of her forehead with a rag that he gave her.
She looked around at all the work that they had done and smiled brightly at her new friends.
You, Newt I think you're right. That was really fun. Thanks for teaching me." She said as she let out a yawn.
Daniella put an arm around Newt's waist and leaned into his side.
"I think it's time to go home and relax for a bit." She said as Georgia nodded and gave her a relieved look.
"Go on, love. We've got it from here." Newt said as he shooed her back towards camp.
"Thanks guys. I'll see you later." She called out as she turned and gave them a wave before disappearing into the rows of plants.
When she got back to camp, she caught her reflection in the glass of one of the Blood House windows.
Her lips turned into a grimace when she saw what she looked like.
Her hair was stringy and stuck to her forehead with sweat dripping down her coffee colored skin.
Her clothes were running with lots of dirt and fertilizer all over them making her wonder if she should go home and shower before making her way back to the dining hall for lunch.
Deciding that a shower would be a good idea, she practically skipped over to the stairs that led down onto the beach.
Once she stepped into the sand she took off her shoes and let out a happy noise at how great the sand felt between her toes.
When she reached their front door she was surprised to see that it was already open.
She was confused for a moment as she stepped inside and carefully closed it before dropping her shoes at the end of the hall.
Looking down she noticed a pair of black boots letting her know that she wasn't the only one home.
Minho's running pack that he always wore was laying on the floor beside the stairs and she shrugged figuring that he had a reason to be home just like she did.
Making her way up the stairs she stopped at the top of the landing when she heard the shower running in the bathroom.
Her mind briefly flashed back to last night when he had helped her take a bath and decided that he had already seen her naked once so she wouldn't be bothered if he saw her again.
As she stepped into the bathroom and stripped out of her clothes, she smiled remembering that just a few days ago she had been really shy and against any type of intimacy between her and the boys.
But as the days passed by, she found herself becoming much more comfortable around them and no longer scoffed at the idea of being intimate with them.
She knew that they should probably wait until their wedding night to have sex, but that there were many ways that they could be intimate without going all the way.
Taking a deep breath, her heart began to race with excitement as she pulled back the curtain and stepped inside.
Her smile faded immediately when she found Minho sitting on the tile floor with the hot water cascading over his toned body.
Dropping onto her knees in front of him, her heart broke when she saw that his eyes were rimmed with red and that they were puffy from all the tears that trailed down his tan cheeks.
His eyes widened when he saw her and he drew in a deep breath when she looked into his eyes with worry shining in her own.
He couldn't find the words to describe how beautiful she was.
Not even Sonya could compete with his fiancé.
He let out a groan and felt his dick harden at the sight of her wet mound.
He was shocked when she took a seat beside him and threaded her fingers with his own before leaning her head against his shoulder.
Minho didn't know how long they had sat there under the water with the only sound coming from the shower and his cries as he sobbed quietly.
He was very grateful when she gave his hand a squeeze and began to rub her hand down his toned legs in a small act of comfort.
She didn't try and soothe him but stayed with him as he let out all the emotions that he had felt for so long.
Finally when his sobs died down to hiccups he turned to look down at her and found that she was staring at the shower curtain with mixed emotions.
"What are you doing here, baby girl? I thought you were working in the gardens today?" He croaked as a smile found its way onto her lips but his heart clenched painfully when it disappeared as soon as it came.
"I worked with Newt and Daniella all day. I decided to come home for a shower after I got off work." She said as he watched her eyes fill with a pain that he had never seen in anyone else but him.
"Oh…" He said as his voice dropped down to a whisper.
He had no idea what to say to her.
She had just witnessed an incredibly private moment for him and he had no idea what she was thinking.
All of sudden she burst into tears as sobs wracked her tiny body.
He quickly took her into his arms and ignored the painful throb from his cock when it met her thigh.
"What's wrong, baby?" He asked as he tried to soothe her as much as he could.
She stayed silent and shook her head before burying her face into his chest as he rocked her from side to side like a little child.
She was so small. He hadn't realized exactly how small until he held her in his arms.
He tried but couldn't keep his eyes away from her luscious curves as his hands travelled the length of her body.
"I'm scared for Amelia and Gally. And Thomas too. Thomas has to perform a C section on Amelia to get the baby out. He's only 17 years old, Minho. How is he going to manage that? And Amelia looked so sick today at breakfast. Thomas and Gally took her to the hospital. That's where they are now. Thomas said that he might not be home tonight because of what was happening. It just makes me think…Would that happen if I got pregnant and would Thomas be able to save me if something went wrong?" She cried as Minho's eyes went wide.
He hadn't heard that Amelia had gotten worse and his heart cringed painfully in his chest for Gally.
The obnoxious Builder had always been seen as the bad guy of the Glade but he had shown his true colors once he found Amelia.
The soft spoken woman had brought out a kindness in Gally that no one had ever seen before.
They all knew that when she got pregnant that it would be a difficult journey for them.
And now she was past her due date and Minho couldn't help but agree with Georgia about being worried.
Thomas was a good doctor but this would be the second surgery that he would perform since his days at Wicked.
Minho shook his head trying to rid himself of the memories of the first time something like this happened.
Knowing that he needed to comfort his fiancé, he sat her between his knees facing him and held her face in his hands as he brushed the wet tears off of her cheeks.
"I won't lie and say that I'm not worried because I am. But there was another time that Thomas had to perform a surgery and it thankfully went well after dealing with some serious complications. We have to have faith that he'll do a good job. But some things are out of our hands. And no matter how much I want to see things go right with Amelia and Gally, I can't guarantee they will. Thomas is a doctor but not a miracle worker. If something goes wrong, then we'll have to deal with it the best way that we can. All we can do is say a prayer that everything goes well and take care of Thomas when he finally does come home." He said as his voice filled with the familiar sound of authority that he had used for years.
Just as more tears were about to fall, he placed his hand behind her head and wrapped his other hand around the back of her neck and kissed her hard.
He let out a little growl of approval when she mewled into his mouth.
Knowing that he couldn't very well have sex with her now, he decided that he would kiss her until every tear dried.
They stayed in each other's arms for hours until the water grew freezing cold.
But they were together.
And they would get through this no matter what.
For the first time since Georgia arrived, Minho knew that he was so deeply and madly in love with the girl who had been there when no one else was.
