benny pov
this whole thing was killing me from the inside out i waited outside the surgery room where they had rushed jazmin to when she first got there i was pacing back and forth jittering to upset and disturbed to sit down, i just hopped she still be alive after all this and i swear by gods name if she made it throught this with our child i will forever be grateful to her and do whatever i can to protect her. doctors came back and forth out of the surgery room carrying a whole bags of blood and knives asn clamps. the sight of all that made me nauseuas and pale i didn't know how much longer i could take, thats when one of tha doctors came out with blood all over him and wiping his sweaty head he walked up to me and lowered his mask.
"tell me doctors is she alive" i just couldn't bare her leaving me now, i wanted her to be alive but by the look on his face it wasn't good.
"sir, i'm not sure how to say it but...".
"she's gone isn't she, i knew it, you don't have to tell me i know she gone now" i walked away with tears running down my cheeck my heart was crushed into a thick pile of hot red dust as i cried out the door.
"oh no sir we saved her just in time she still alive" he called to me, i stopped dead in my tracks and turned around did he just here the words i thought he said. was it true was she really alive, more importantly was the baby still alive too.
"seriosly she's alive" i said in hope. the doctor nodded.
"and our baby" i studdered as i felt it was gone.
"your baby survived too perfectly in tact". i placed my hand on my chest and smiled.
"you may see her if you wish she's being wheeled to the infirmary to be put on respitory system"
"what?"
"that gash in her neck was to deeply penetrated her skin that she can't breath air into her lung so she'll have to be put on life support for a bit"
"oh thanks for the heads up doctor" i walked away to the infirmary where jazmin was resting in bed hooked up to the life support sytem.
she looked so bruised up and beaten, not to mention her whole neck was packed in stiches like she was frankenstein. i walked up to her as she rested i slowly stroked her cheecks and whimpered to myself her breathing was horribly unsteady but i was just lucky she was still alive, her and our child. i waited till it was almost closing time and jazmin still hadn't woken up. of course i didn't expect her to with all the suffering she was through today, i would return tommorow and see if she awoke then i streched my body and kissed jazmins cold,pale cheeck and layed my hand on her slightly bloated stomach and rubbed it to fell for any movement of the baby.
"until tommorow" i whisper in her ear i had no idea if she heard that but i just prayed she did. i turn out the light to her rooms and walk out the hospital the whole time i was crying my eyes out but i sucked it up as the garden came into view as i turned the corner i was suddenly blinded by a spark of red and blue flashing lights. there were about 5 police cars outside our garden as officers and detctives were scrambled everywhere. i pushed throught the crowd of gnomes till i found gnomeo talking to one of the detectives i walked up to him just as the detective walked the opposite way.
"gnomeo whats going on here"
"the police came here to do an inspection of samantha for almost murdering jazmin, mum called the police after we dropped jazmin at the hospital then we raced back here to tell everyone what happened" he explained.
"and where's juliet then"
"inside with one of the policegnomes showing them where we tied up samantha"
"is she going to jail" i asked, gnomeo just shrugged his shoulders.
"they're still investigating her now trying to determine if she did it or not"
of course she did it, you didn't need proof to put her away if these police knew samantha the way the rest of the garden did they would have accused her guilty the minuet they got here, i just hopped they put her away for a long time, and if not that they would just send her far away, to some remote island in the deepest parts of the oceans, somewhere she could never escape and find ofr harm jazmin in any way ever again. that's when juliet came rushing up to us.
"you guys they arrested her" juliet was extemry happy and so was i.
"for real, how" gnomeo squelaed.
"she confessed ,it didn't take long for the truth to come out of her, she confessed to the whole thing" juliet was cheering for joy and i was happilt dancing around.
thats when the remaining police came out the garden with samntha handcuffed and wrapped up in a straigthjacket. we lookked up at juliet who knew what we were thinking.
"she kinda snapped her senses when they were questioning her". we all lauhged.
samanth was lead away as all the gnomes cheered as they saw her walk away some even laughed at how she was restrained, a lot of photographers were snapping pictures and asking questions but noone was really in the mood for talking we walked a little closer to the car samantha was in as juliets dad and gnomeos mun came up to the cheif.
"so she going away right" lord redbrick asked as lady b. clung to his arms.
"oh yeah she's going away for the rest of her life" the cheif annonced. we all cheered again.
"i'll be back you can't keep me locked up forever, i will return someday and exact my revenge on you all. YOU HEAR ME YOU WILL ALL GET WHAT'S COMING TO YA ESPECIALLY YOU BENNY AAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she laughed out loud like an evil witch from a fairytale as we all looked pretty disguted, samantha had full on lost it now, i gave the crazy signal with my fingers to my head and whislted that cucuoo noise, as the cheif closed the car door and started it up.
"you folks have a nice evening now" he tipped his hat and drove away with samantha far far away from here.
"i'm glad all thats done with" i sighed.
"us too"juliet stated.
"oh well, goodnight everyone" gnomeo called out as he and juliet, featherstone, and shroom made their way to the laurence garden as we all walked back into ours. iwent straight to bed i could finally sleep well knowing that samantha was no longer here and jazmin was still alive.
the next day
I got up bright and early before anyone eles i wanted to see jazmin as soon as possible, i wanted to be there when she finally woke up. i put on fresh clothes and tiptoed out the door, that is until i tripped over stella whomwas sleeping outside the door. i had to top myself from screeching before i woke anyone up, and i grabbed the flower vase that was lying on the stand i had bumped into to keep it from smashing. stella woke up and looked at me while i carefully tiptoed down thr stairs then she started hopping around asking me where i was sneaking off to in such a hurry.
"ssshhhh, stella i'm going to see jazmin, keep it down will ya"
"take me with you i need to see her she's my best friend" stella bounced.
we tiptoed out the garden to the hospital. on the way there i was thinking about jazmin and that maybe i should bring her a small gift too ease her pain and suffering a gift that meant something to both her and me , but what?, as we turned the corner as the hospital came into view, i noticed a flower cart stand parked on the curb. thats what i'll bring her flowers that'll make her feel better nothing says i adore for you more than a bouquet of flowers, there were so many beautiful flowers and it was hard to choose, i couldn't just get her any type of flowers i needed to bring her favorite kind, unfortunately i had no clue what they were but thats why i had stella with me, if anyone knew what jazmin liked it had to be the gnome or should i say mushroom thats been with her her whole life, surely stella would know what flowers jazmin favored.
"okay stella since you're her best friend tell me,which flowers are jazmins favorite?' i asked as she hopped in front of me to get a better view. she finally stopped at a pile of tiger lillies.
''you sure these are the ones she likes''. i asked as i picked them up
''i'm her best friend i know everything about her so i know her favorite flower too benny''. she said, i trusted her seeing as she knew jazmin a bit better than me
"i'll take these tiger lillies please" i asked the women behind the cart. she wrapped them in silver wrapping paper and tied them with a fusica silk ribbon bow. i grabbed them and me and stella headed to the hospital.
jazmin had been moved to a different room since yesterday so i had to wait for the secratary at the front desk to give me her room number.
"your friend is on the 4 floor in room 37-d". she said
me and stella hopped onto the elevator and rode to the fourth floor, we made our way down the hall to room 37-d and thats when we heard a lot of commotion we walked throught the door and down the halls doctors were rushing in and out of jazmin's room, immediately i knew some thing was not right,as i got closer to the door i could hear a lot of doctors shouting things like;'we need more oxygen in her', 'she stopped breathing give her a shock now' i could feel my soul twisting into a dark thick goo i would have gone in there to see for myself but the door was locked, just then a nurse came out sighing this was my chance.
"exuse me nurse what's going on in there" i asked with concern.
"its your freind jazmin we needed to recessitate her"
"what for?"
"she just stopped breathing". my heart and mind pooped.
"WHAT IS SHE OKAY NOW" i began to really worry now. the nurse just shrugged.
"nurse we need your help its getting worse to recessitate her now" the doctor called out as she ran back into the room. i slid aginst the wall and began to weep the thought of losing her and our child a third time was more than i could take, if i had to go throught this one more time i was gonna have a heart attack. stella came up and snuggled my chest as i held her head.(just think of how benny did shroom in the movie when he thought gnomeo was killed by the terifriminator) i weeped for who nows how long occasionaly punching the walls thats when all the doctors and the nurse came out, she stopped and looked at me while i wiped away my tears.
"well is she alright, please tell me she's alright" i begged.
"we were able to get her breathing again...but we don't know for how long"
"excuse me" i said.
"that gash in her neck must have cut throught more than we thought and she keeps shorting out on breathing the next time she cuts off she might be gone for good" the nurse explained.
"nurse just what are you trying to say" i began to flow tears.
"the doctors says there's nothing more we can do for her, its best to just let nature take its course on her,if she doesn't wake up soon or if she cuts off breathing again were just gonna have to let her pass i'm sorry sir"
my heart was offically no more, i couldn't take this anymore, no matter how much i begged and prayed she was never gonna get better i guess it was just time for me to let her go, her and my child, the fact of losing my child along with her only greatened the pain, i would never know the joy of being a father, but gnomeo and juliet were having a baby so at least i could look forward to being an uncle but it just wouldn't be the same as having a child all to myself. i peered throught the door way where i saw jazmins practically lifeless body slowly pump air in and out of her the thought of watching her die this way was more than i could take but i suppose this was just the way it was gonna be and i would just have to live with it from now on and forever. even thought i hated to watch a loved one of mine die in front of me i still had to be with jazmin when it happened, i told her i would be by her side even when something happens to her and if i went back on that now i would never look at myself in the mirror again.
"you can go in and see her if you want, it may be your last time to do so" the nusrse said.
i hopped to my feet and slowly walked inside as the nurse closed the door for privacy. i glanced up at jazmin for what i thought would be the last time and cried into her chest, i rubbed her stomach to feel the baby move around once more but i couldn't really feel a thing, my guess was that it was already gone just like jazmin would soon be, i lost my child and it hadn't even gotten the chance to be brought into the world for me to look upon the face of the beautiful son/daughter i would have had. i placed my other had onto jazmins and laid the tiger lily flowers on her chest i moved her hand so that they were barely grasping them as i let go, stella hopped up on the bed and stroked jazmins cheecks and arms as i whispered the last song she ever sang to me call me maybe she had such a beautiful voice, a voice that sounded like the harmonizing of angels that brought smiles to a persons face and made everyone feel alive inside and out, and the sad reality of it was that i might never get to hear it again. i sound as thought i lost hope because i have. i picked up jazmins hand that wasn't holding the flowers and kissed it softly my tears ran down onto her hand and slid down her arm my last words to her were;
"even when you leave you'll always be the one and only girl that accessed that permanent space in my heart, i love you for all times".
i'm kissed her palm once more as i moved away from her. getting up to leave i could almost feel her fingers entertwining with mine and locking our hands together. even thought i knew it was just my mind playing tricks on me i still couldn't help but feel as thought her hands were really touching mine, i could also feel as thought her body was slowly shifting in place right behind me, my irritation was rising fast it was as if my mind wanted me to keep tourturing myself with the fact that there might still be a spark of hope that jazmin would wake up and cuddle into my arms, thats when stella tapped my shoulder and pointed her short hand into jazmins direction, i turned her direction and saw what i thought couldn't really be possible. jazmins body began to shift and squirm i could vaguely hear her mumble and gasp her head twisted and turned as she tried to open her eyes, my doubts this was actually happening were still wriiten across my face i needed her to just open her eyes to make me belive again, i knew that if she opened her eyes it would be all the proof i needed to know that this was real and she was still alive and sure enough she opened her eyes to reveal the same tangerine orange color in her eyes i had come to love and adore she looked my way as tears of joy leaked out my aqua blue eyes and she slowly grineed a weak smile at me. i stroked her cheeck and passionetly kissed her lips as she wrapped her arms around me as i glued myself to her body. stella wedged in between us to give jazmin a hug as she paciently stroked the red mushroom on her head.
"i can't tell you how happy i am that you're still alive,for a moment i had given up hope that you were ever going to return to me but you did and i have never been more satisfied" i told her. she tried to speak but her voice came out in a thick wind sound as she cluthced her throat carefull not to touch the stiching.
"you can't talk can you" she shook her head and layed back down never taking her eyes off me.
i got up and walked to the door i looked back at jazmin as i gave her the one moment signal and walked into the halls, seconds later i came back with the doctor and nurse as they were just as suprised as me to see jazmin still alive. they asked me to step into the halls to do some experiments on jazmin as stella bounced out with me. i grabbed a quick snack from the vending machine untill i could see jazmin again. an hour or so passed ai had fallen asleep on the bench outside jazmins door using stella as a head support. just as i was about to doze off i heard the doorlock click and instantly sprung up from the bench.
"well how is she doctor" i rubbed my eyes of sleep.
"she seems to be completely healthy now, althought her throat is still very sore and weak and needs time to recover from the stiching, until then she shouldn't talk much for the next 3 weeks and needs to be given shots to help circulate the blood into her throat to keep it from drying out, she'll also need to stay here in the hospital because she still has a bit of trouble breathing on her own so she'll be here the next 3 weeks getting respitory treatment but other then all that she is just fine" the doctor explained everything to me and i nodded in understandment.
"oh also doctor jazmin was pregnat when the accident happened and i want to know is the baby still... you know... there" my voice trailed off as the doctor looked throught the stack of papers in his hand he looked them over then he spoke.
"that baby of yours had a few close calls especially since she was only pregnant a few weeks, usually if something like this happens to women who are pregnant the baby ocassinally never survives, but in this case your baby was one of the lucky ones so yes your baby is still alive and well be monitoring it along with jazmin for as long as she's here okay sir" the doctor smiled as well as i did.
"thats all i needed to hear, thank you doctor really" i nudge the doctor and went back into the room jazmin was lying down sipping from the juice on her table, when she saw me come in she put it down and waved at me. i pulled up a chair close to her and sat by her side.
"that doctor said you'll need to stay hear over the next 3 weeks or so till you're voice recovers from the cut so you can't really talk much or they said the damange could get worse".
i ran my fingers across her forehead as she leaned back and nodded to what i said. then she looked down to her flat stomach and began to rub it i guided her hands with mine till it rested in the center of her stomach.
"and even more good news, the baby made it throught okay, they said it went throught a few close calls but it survived just like you did".
jazmin smile grew bigger as she now knew that we could still be parents. she rested her head on my shoulder as i began humming tiny dancer in her ears she swayed back and forth to the rythem then she gazed down to the flowers she hadn't realized she was holding, she held them up and stared to me as i began to blush and chuckle
"do you like the flowers" she nodded."they're tiger lillies, those are your favorites right, stella helped me pick them out".
jazmin looked to stella and blew her a kiss then she snuggled my neck as i felt her breathing on me and she still had that sweet peach scent to her body that i loved so much,i closed my arms around her shoulders and began to sing tiny dancer to her once again. the rest of the day i sat with her talking and sharing my thoughts with her i told her all the details of what went on the day she first got to the hospital, she gave a relived facial expression when i got to the part about samantha being arrested and taken far away, and i was still overjoyed about that myself now that samantha was gone that was one pound of pressure taken off my shoulders making it safer for me, jazmin, and more importantly our baby. it camee around the time for us to go 4 hours later as much as i didn't want to i had to, she grabbed my shoulder she couldn't speak at the moment but she didn't need to cause i knew by the way she tugged me what she was saying exactly.
"jazmin its okay, i promise i'll come back tommorow and everyday until you're well enought to come home, i would never want to get away from you, i could be a thousand miles away and i would still find a way to see you till the end of days, i swear i'll come see you later alright" i gave er my puppy eyes to show her i meant what i said she kissed me one last time as me and stella walked outside to the garden.
The sky was a faded pink color by the time we made it home i creapt inside to find everyone in the living room watching television.
"hey everyone i'm home" i called to them.
"benny there you are noone seen you all day" gnomeo called to me from the couch.
"oh yeah sorry i was at the hospital you know" i replied
"what did the doctors say is jazmin alrigth" juiet asked.
i could have told them jazmin was okay but then they would all be trying to see her and i wanted to be alone with her for the time being so i decided to keep the details vauge as possible for the moment
"oh well uuumm...they said she was sure to be fine but they won't know for sure until a few more days, but if they say differently i'll tell you." i replied as they all nodded. i made my way t the couch and joined them at the t.v set. about an hour later i was exhausted and woozy, i got up and went to go lay in bed for a while till dinner.
"hey gnomeo i'm going up to my room to rest for a while if you need me" i yawned and walked from the couch.
"no problem mate sweet dreams" gnomeo said. i trugged up the strairs and plopped in bed where i was outcold in a matter of seconds i was so deep in sleep i slept right throught dinner and didn't awaken until 2;37 in the morning i went right back to sleep and had loving dreams of jazmin and me and how are life would be like when she was finally outta the hospital and now began parenting our new baby girl/boy. i was sure that nothing could go wrong in my life anymore.
well there you have it jazmins alive and all is right in the world of gnomes you happy now ;D. this goes out to my loyal friend tpatfan16 love you 't wait for the next chapter of your stories
