Her Secret
Thank you to all the lovely people who have been reading this!
Chapter 14
'I don't know what you want me to say? I think we should go and see your mum now, she will be worried' Ruth perched herself on the side of the sofa in the staff room not wanting to get to close
'I want to know why? Are you going to give this baby as well?' Liam gestures towards Ruth round swollen stomach
'I... I... I wanted you to have a better life, I wasn't much older that you are now! This baby is different I have a good job and a place to live...' She was interrupted
'What's going to happen to me? When mum is gon...' He couldn't finish his sentence
'That's what we are going to talk about now if you would just come and see your mum' Ruth moved closer towards the upset boy and put her arm around him and he made no attempt to push her away 'There, there Liam' Ruth couldn't help but smile to herself he was opening up to her by allowing her to comfort him.
'Liam, can we go and see your mum now?'
As Ruth walks through the hospital she feels Liam's hand grab onto hers and clutch it tight. She decided that it was a good sign, that he was beginning to trust her.
They walked into Resus together, hand in hand to be greeted with the sound of several machines beeping, Ruth dropped Liam's hand and ran towards the bed.
'CAN I GET SOME HELP IN HERE?' she screamed at the top of her voice
Whilst she was doing this her doctor brain took over, remove pillow, drop head, start chest compressions.
'How long has she been down?' Adam came running into Resus followed by Yuki and Charlie
'I got here about a minute ago, I don't know how long before that! Why was no one in here with her? Why was she left alone?' She was getting herself worked up and she knew that was no good for anyone, she had to be strong for both her kids.
'I'll take over now' Adam pushed his way in front of Ruth and took over 'Why don't you wait outside?'
'I'm fine here, should you not be shocking her?'
'Ruth, please let me do my job why don't you take him outside?' Adam was gesturing towards Liam who was standing near the door with a face as white as a sheet, Ruth walked up to him and ushered him out of the door
'What are they doing to her? Is she dead?' Liam was emotionless as he spoke, he just stood at the door staring through the window to Resus watching the teams every move, everything they were doing to his mother.
'They are... they are doing their best to help her' On the exterior she was as calm as every however inside she was an emotional wreak.
