Chapter 52: New Life and Heartbreak
Han paced the hospital corridor impatiently. Letty was sitting on one of the plastic chairs with her head in her hands. Han sighed exasperatedly.
"What the fuck is taking so long?" He asked, almost growling. Letty looked up at him, annoyance clear on her face.
"Han. I know it's been a few hours but sweet baby Jesus, man! Be a bit patient! They have to treat her back and check for any other damages before they start on the pregnancy. So just try and calm down, alright?" Han sighed again before sitting down beside Letty and nodding. Letty smiled sadly at him and laid a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.
"I just... I just want her to be OK." Letty chuckled.
"She'll be fine! She's a fighter, Han. You of all people should know that." Han chuckled.
"Yeah. I know that alright." Letty smiled.
"See? She's gonna pull through, Han. I know she will. All we can do is wait." Han let out a shaky breath before nodding. Letty nodded at him before standing up to go get food. Han just sat there, staring at the white wall in front of him. Another hour had passed and Letty was laying on the chairs and she was asleep. Han was pacing again as he knew he couldn't do anything and felt so helpless. He was just about to sit down when Doctor Mori came out of a door. Han spotted him and ran to him. Doctor Mori smiled.
"Mr. Lue. Good to see you again. However, I wish it was under different circumstances." Han nodded.
"Is everything OK? Is Roxy alright?" Doctor Mori nodded.
"Everything so far has gone perfectly. We've had to close a few of the cuts on her back with stitches but other than that, she's fine." Han sighed in relief. "She's awake now and she's waiting until we can get the all clear for her to give birth." Han nodded. "Would you like to see her before we begin?" Han nodded. Han looked behind him.
"Is it alright if she comes too? She's a close friend of ours." Doctor Mori smiled and nodded.
"Of course." Han walked over and shook Letty's shoulder.
"Letty. Letty!" Letty sat up and looked around.
"What? Is she OK?" Han nodded.
"Yeah, she's fine. We're allowed to see her before she gives birth. So we have very little time. C'mon." Letty got up and together, they followed Doctor Mori through the door. When Han saw Roxy sitting there in the bed, he never felt so happy in his life. He walked over to her and kissed her forehead.
"Hey, princess." Roxy smiled weakly.
"Hi." She looked over at Letty. "Hey, chica." Letty smiled.
"Hey, girl. You alright?" Roxy shrugged.
"I'll live." She felt a contraction go through her and she grabbed Han's hand. Her face scrunched up in pain before she relaxed and blew out a breath. Han smiled sadly. Roxy looked at him and chuckled. "I blame you for this. For not being able to control yourself." Han chuckled.
"It'll be worth it. Besides, you were awfully seductive." Roxy grinned.
"Yeah. It will definitely be worth it." She then rolled her eyes. "And I wasn't that seductive." Doctor Mori walked over and smiled at them.
"I'm afraid that it's time for you to leave. We need to get Roxy comfortable before it's time." Han nodded and kissed her.
"I love you." He whispered. She smiled.
"I love you, too." Han kissed her cheek before Letty hugged her and kissed her forehead and they left. Roxy sighed and Dcotor Mori smiled sadly at her.
"I know that this will be hard for you, especially with your back. We'll try and do this as best as we can, alright?" Roxy nodded.
"Yeah. No problem. I know it's worth it." Doctor Mori smiled before calling over a nurse. Roxy looked and saw that it was Lucy. Roxy giggled. "How is it that I got you two taking care of me? Not that I'm complaining." Both Lucy and Doctor Mori laughed.
"You are my patient, Roxy." Doctor Mori explained. "And Lucy is my assistant and she's always there to lend a hand." Roxy nodded.
"Alright. This is gonna be really out there, but you guys make a very cute couple." Lucy blushed and Doctor Mori laughed.
"I sure hope so. We're married." Roxy gaped.
"Really? I didn-" She was cut off by a sharp pain. She waited as the contraction hit her and then ended. "When will these end?" She moaned. Doctor Mori checked her.
"Now, actually. You are now ten centimetres dilated." Roxy's eyes widened.
"Really?" He nodded.
"Yes. Are you ready?" Roxy looked at him and nodded.
"Yes." She shifted a little and Lucy was there beside her. Roxy took a deep breath before she began pushing.
~~~~~~~~~~ F+F ~~~~~~~~~
"I actually can't believe that she's giving birth right now. Didn't think that would happen until another few years." Letty commented. Han chuckled.
"So, what? It's my fault?" Letty laughed.
"Yeah, pretty much." Han laughed. Letty smiled. "You seem a lot better now." Han nodded.
"I know that she's fine." Letty nodded.
"Yeah. I told you she was a fighter. Now, we just have to wait. Again." Han chuckled.
"We seem to be doing a lot of that lately." They both laughed before deciding to go get food. They took their time, knowing that it would be a while before they heard any news. After mindless talking, they decided to head back up and sat in the waiting room. Oddly enough, no-one else was there apart from them. They sat down on the chairs and waited. Letty flicked through a magazine while Han watched the TV. Half an hour later, the door opened and Dom, Brian and Mia came in. They smiled when they saw Han and Letty.
"Hi, guys." Mia greeted. She was balancing Leticia on her hip. She sat down beside Letty and let out a sigh. Han nodded in greeting before looking at Dom and Brian.
"Did you guys have to wait this long when Mia was giving birth?" Dom nodded but Brian shrugged.
"I fell asleep with Roxy." Han chuckled.
"Nice." Brian just shrugged again and laughed. Dom sat down beside Han and put a hand on his back.
"How you holding up, man?" Han shrugged.
"I know she's fine. It's just worrying about her and the baby and I just hope that everything will be fine." Dom nodded.
"Everything will be perfect, Han. Have faith." Han nodded before sighing. "All we have to do is wait." Han nodded.
"Yeah. Wait."
~~~~~~~~~~ F+F ~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on, Roxy. You can do it. I see the head. Just a few more pushes and you're there!" Doctor Mori encouraged her. Roxy groaned and shook her head. She tightened her hold on Lucy's hand and looked at her.
"I can't, Lucy. It's too painful. It's too much." Lucy smiled and rubbed her hand.
"I know, Roxy, but you have to keep pushing. Alright? You can do it." Roxy nodded before taking a deep breath and pushing again. She screamed out in pain and her eyes were shut tight. Doctor Mori nodded.
"Alright, Roxy. Another huge push and you'll be finished." Roxy groaned again before repeating the same action. She screamed out in pain before laying back against the pillow. She heard a cry and watched as Doctor Mori stood up and held the baby in his arms. Tears came to her eyes and she smiled. She saw Lucy cut the umbilical cord. Doctor Mori walked over to a corner in the room where he cleaned up the baby. Lucy smiled down at Roxy.
"That was amazing, Roxy. You did brilliantly." Roxy chuckled breathlessly.
"You make it sound like I ran a race." Lucy laughed and nodded. Doctor Mori came over with the baby and showed it to Roxy. Roxy smiled. "Is it a boy? A girl?" He smiled.
"It's a girl." Roxy grinned.
"Just like we thought." She murmured. Doctor Mori smiled down at her.
"I'll put her in the baby room and she can rest, alright? You need your rest, too." Roxy nodded. Doctor Mori walked out of the room with her baby in his arms. Lucy smiled down at Roxy.
"Any names?" She asked. Roxy nodded.
"We have three. Ava, Hailey and Dawn. We can't choose which one though." Lucy giggled.
"I can see how difficult it is. They are very beautiful names. Alright, we need to clean you up before you get some rest." Roxy nodded before Lucy did her job. She helped Roxy out of the bed and walked her to the bathroom. "There's a little shower in here. If you want, you can take a quick one. I can help you." Roxy smiled her thanks and let Lucy help her. Once she had finished, Lucy helped Roxy into another gown before slowly helping her to the bed. Doctor Mori had just walked back into the room when they were halfway to the bed.
"Your little girl is sleeping peacefully in a little cot of sorts. You can see her after you rest. Roxy nodded before she stopped walking. "Are you alright,
Roxy?" Roxy nodded.
"Yeah, just tired, I guess." Doctor Mori nodded in understanding. Roxy's eyes rolled into her head before she collapsed onto the ground. Lucy had just grabbed her in time before Roxy hit her head on the ground. Lucy knelt down and looked at her husband. Doctor Mori ran to the door and shouted to other staff.
"I need doctors and nurses in here now! We have a patient who has just collapsed after giving birth!" Suddenly, the room was filled with more people as Doctor Mori and another doctor carefully lifted Roxy onto the bed. They tried to revive her and used CPR. This went on for five minutes until Doctor Mori sighed and backed away. Lucy was in the corner of the room, looking on in shock. She saw her husband look at her and shake his head slightly. She gave out a sob before covering her mouth with her hand. Doctor Mori walked over to her whilst the other doctors were still working on Roxy on Doctor Mori's orders. He touched his wife's shoulders. "I'm sorry, dear. I know you liked Roxy. I don't think there's anything else we can do." Lucy nodded. Doctor Mori sighed. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to break the news to her husband." He sighed sadly again before walking out the door. Lucy looked back at the bed and sighed.
~~~~~~~~~~ F+F ~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm telling you, Brian, it's a girl!" Letty argued. Brian stubbornly shook his head.
"I may have been wrong about Mia but I'm definitely sure that Roxy is having a boy." Everyone laughed at Letty and Brian arguing with each other over the sex of the baby. Han was sitting there, watching them with a grin on his face. He knew that the baby would be here soon and he honestly couldn't wait to see it and Roxy. He sighed happily and laid back in his chair. A few minutes later, he saw Doctor Mori walk in. Everyone stood up and Doctor Mori nodded at them all.
"I take it you are all with Mrs. Lue?" They all nodded. "Alright. I am happy to say that the delivery went perfectly fine and Roxy has given birth to a 6lb baby girl." Letty looked at Brian and smirked.
"I told you it was a girl." Brian rolled his eyes.
"Damn. So close." Everyone just laughed at him. Doctor Mori looked at Han.
"Mr. Lue? May I talk to you in private?" Han nodded and they walked out of the waiting room. Doctor Mori sighed before looking at Han.
"Mr. Lue... there was a problem after the pregnancy." Han's heartbeat quickened and he nodded, showing he understood.
"Alright. What's the problem?" Doctor Mori sighed again.
"Lucy helped Roxy to the bathroom so she could clean up. While she was making her way back to the bed again, Roxy collapsed." Han stared at him in shock.
"Is she OK? Can I see her?" Doctor Mori shook his head.
"Mr. Lue... we've tried everything for her. The doctors are still working on her as we speak but... I'm afraid Roxy has died." Han just stared at him. No.
She couldn't be dead. No way. She was fine before the birth. He saw her with his own eyes. Doctor Mori put a hand on Han's shoulder. "I'm truly sorry, Han. I tried everything. I know what she meant to you." With that, he walked off sadly before returning to the room that Roxy was in. Han slowly slid to the ground. His whole world had just crumbled. His wife was dead. She was gone and he never got to say goodbye. None of them did. He thought of the baby. His head hung in his hands. Oh God, the baby. It didn't have a mother anymore. Roxy was so looking forward to being a mother. She never got the chance. Han faintly heard the door beside him open. He slowly looked up and saw Dom. Dom saw the tears running down Han's cheeks and he immediately panicked.
"Han? Han, what happened?" Han just shook his head and looked at Dom.
"Sh-She's gone." Dom looked at him confused.
"What?" Han took a shaky breath.
"Roxy. She's gone. Doctor Mori told me that she collapsed and the doctors tried everything to save her. She died, Dom. What the fuck am I going to do now?" Dom stood there numbly. He slowly turned around and walked back i
nto the room, closing the door behind him. Han just stayed on the ground and stared in front of him. He heard Dom's deep voice explaining to the others what had happened. There was a moment of silence before Han heard Mia screaming. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine that it wasn't real. She wasn't really dead. He heard footsteps and saw Doctor Mori come towards him. He slowly got up and Doctor Mori nodded at him sadly.
"Do you want to see the baby?" Han nodded numbly before following him through a few corridors before stopping at a door. They walked in and it was oddly quiet. A few babies were crying but other than that, it seemed peaceful almost. Doctor Mori stopped at a cot and Han looked over and genuinely smiled. She was absolutely beautiful. She was like a baby version of Roxy. She had a tuff of red hair on her head and when she opened her eyes, Han could see that she had Roxy's green eyes. He was thankful. So thankful that she took after Roxy. Her skin was a little bit tanned so he guessed that was his only trait of his that she had. He sighed and stroked her cheek with his finger. The baby looked up at him and she gave him a little smile. Doctor Mori smiled. "She looks exactly like her." Han nodded. "So beautiful."
"Definitely." Han agreed. Doctor Mori left without a word and left Han on his own so that he could be alone with his baby. Han grabbed a chair from the side and placed it beside the baby. He hung his arm over the side with his hand hanging down in front of the baby. She looked at his hand before she lifted a hand to wrap it around Han's finger. Han smiled down at her and sighed. "Hailey. Hailey Lue." He smiled again. "I like it. What do you think?" The baby gurgled and Han chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes. Your mother picked that name. She would have loved you." Han sighed and leaned back on the chair. He didn't know how he was going to get through this.
~~~~~~~~~~ F+F ~~~~~~~~~~
