AN: hi, Are you excited? You better be because the babies coming. Jacklin Amber Rutter-only problem is where is Daddy?' here it is and I Hope u like it.
AMBER'S POV:
'AMBER, HELP ME!' Nina screamed and fell to the floor in pain. I was scared stiff.
I stood there dumbfounded. My best friend was giving birth, right now! My best friend was having my godchild with Fabian nowhere in sight.
Nina was cringing in continuous pain and kept shouting at me to do something. Tears were forming in my eyes. This was not how it was suppose to happen. I was Amber Millington Goddess of Shopping and didn't know the first thing about all of this.
I sprinted like I don't know what and for once I didn't care if I damaged my new shoes. They would only be worn once.
'Nurse! Nurse!' I screamed as I ran out the door seeking for someone's attention. A small petite woman wearing the hospital uniform looked at me sternly before asking what was wrong.
'What is wrong, dear?' another asked after the other woman and a load of words flooded out my mouth.
'It is my friend in 16D; she's just gone into labour. Her water broke just now! She needs help. It has come too early and her fiancé isn't here.' I explained and broke down as I finished. How did this happen?
'Oh my, okay I'll go get help!' She exclaimed and ran off to find people to give Nina comfort, and help through labour while the other ran in the direction of the room said to be where Nina is. Fabian needs to be here, was all I thought and whipped out my phone hoping to get an answer.
I made my way back to Nina's room. Nurse's were surrounding her and trying to get her in a position-ready for the labour period. I'm sorry Nina is what I wanted to scream at her. This had to be the worst thing to happen. Give birth when your fiancé is god knows where.
'How long do you think she's got until the birth?' I asked one of the nurses's as my phone continued to ring.
'Quite a while. The pushing won't begin for another two or three hours and that could take up to ten.' I was glad, not for Nina being in pain that long, but the fact is gave us a reasonable time to get Fabian.
'Come on Mick, pick up.' I whispered slowly to myself as I pressed the phone closer to my ear.
'Sorry, but I'm unable to retrieve your call right now but leave a message.' His voicemail played through my phone. I cursed under my breath while scanning for Fabian's number but the same response appeared. I went through a list of contacts but all were like Mick and Fabian's phone. All went to voicemail.
'Patricia!' I exclaimed as she answered her phone. I was thankful for someone to answer even if it had to be the most unlikely to help. She did take a liking to Nina though, especially after Rufus returned last time. Nina was there to comfort her over Joy's death like the good person she was.
'No Amber, you can't use my nail polish.' She said harshly. It was typical of her and usually a retort would be coming her way but now wasn't the time. Even I knew that.
'No, it isn't that. I'm at the hospital with Nina-her water's just broke.' I screamed down the phone. The tears came back as Nina's pained face flashed back through my mind.
'Oh God!' Patricia said and then announced the news to the other's in the background. 'Is Fabian back yet?' she then asked me. I shook my head even though she couldn't see me.
'No, and I'm scared stiff, for Nina, the baby, Fabian and me.' I admitted and Patricia started saying reassuring words over the phone. In a way it soothed me enough to stop blubbering and speak a bit.
'Can you find a way to get Fabian, quick?' I asked unable to control the tears which flowed.
'Hang on.' She said and then voices were heard whispering in the background. 'That is a good idea.' I heard Alfie say and was glad to hear something more positive.
'Mick always carries a walkie talkie with him, just in case. If we can find the other one-that might be a way to contact them.' Patricia proposed and I let out a sigh in relief.
'Go for it.' I announced and heard her scuttle off to find the walkie talkie. I sat for a while hoping for the best when I heard Patricia's breath down the phone.
'I couldn't find it.' When I heard those word all the dread and sympathy for Nina came back. I hung up doubtfully and sat watching horrified as Nina screamed out in agony.
Where would you put it Mick? I then recalled that the bag I was carrying was in fact Mick's backpack-which he recommended I'd take.
-Flashback-
'Hey Amb's before you leave to go see Nina, I want you to take this bag.' Mick said, indicated to the ugly trash of a bag held in his hand.
'Why?' I asked and Mick just took my hand and kissed it lightly.
'You trust me right?' He asked me and I nodded, no need to think twice. 'Then just go with it, ok!' he said before rushing off to meet Fabian.
-End Flashback-
'Are you as smart as I'm hoping you are, Mickey Mouse?' I asked, not really to anyone in particular. I zipped open the bag and a grip spread amongst my face when the walkie talkie sat underneath my makeup bag.
'Hello, Mick?' I asked through it while pressing the button and let out a happy laugh when he responded.
FABIAN'S POV:
'Hey Amb's, found the walkie talkie did you? Smart girl you are.' Mick said through the phone. Mick and I were currently walking underneath the warehouse through a deserted tunnel.
'Mick that isn't important. Something's happened-I need to talk to Fabian.' I heard Amber say through the walkie talkie and snatched it off Mick as quick as possible.
'What happened?' I asked, praying it wasn't too bad. Mick and I had both stopped walking.
'It's Nina.' She started and my heart stopped beating. Regret of leaving her flood through me. 'Fabian, Nina's water broke. She's having the baby.' My whole word stopped. I couldn't process what was happening. It was all frozen.
'Amb's, we are coming back-just be there for Nina as best as you can.' Mick said as he stood the walkie talkie back from me. I was still unable to move.
'Come on mate, we need to get you back so you can be a Dad.' Mate directed.
'I knew I shouldn't have left her!' I shouted, and Mick gave me a sympathetic look.
'Well if we don't get back now. There will be a reason to feel guilty. Come on!' He demanded and finally I budged and tread on. Just wanted to get there for Nina's sake. For my families sake.
'Why does this happen to us?' I asked him, and he shrugged.
'Lucky Amber was there otherwise you would have had no idea.' It was meant to be a joke but it stung. If I had left her alone-she would be going through pain, giving birth without me knowing. All alone.
'I don't want to think about.' I added and he let it go. I felt bad for being harsh but my family was on the line.
'Hey in about ten or so hours you're going to be a Dad.' Mick reassured which actually made me smile. I was going to be a dad. The Dad of Jacklin Amber Rutter and right now she needed me and I was going to be there for her.
'Mick, something isn't right though. She's early by three weeks.' I announced rather scared.
'It happens. Just means you have an impatient daughter.' Mick Joked and I let out a small chuckle. There was no need to be angry, it was a happy moment. My day was made up when I saw sunlight until I heard someone behind me.
'Why leave so soon?' A recognisable voice said. The voice was the one which haunted me in my sleep-Rufus.
