Chapter 9

The nurse took Carly from me.

"Is she going to be ok?" I asked

"Yes I'm sure she'll be fine," The nurse said

Another nurse had come to get me

"Hi, can you come with me please?"

"Ye ok" I whispered

"I'm sorry to ask but have you got medical insurance," she asked

"Yes" was all I could say.

I started to cry I couldn't help it. I honestly thought I was going to loose her and from nowhere Jeff came and he started to hug me.

"Jeff I need her" I whispered, "I love her so much

We were taken into a room, we didn't talk he just held me. We stayed like that for what seemed like hours.

"Miss Gates?" A males voice asked.

"Yes" I looked up

"I'm the doctor who is looking after your daughter." He said

"Is she ok," I asked

"She seems to have caught a virus," He said

"She'll be fine she'll have to stay in over night though"

"Oh thank god" I started to cry tears of relief.

"Can I get some details from you please" He asked

"Ye sure"

"What's her full name?" He asked

"Carly Hilary Gates" I answered

"Date of birth" He asked

"I looked at Jeff"

3rd May 2002

"Your name"

"Jessica Lauren Gates" I answered

"Do you know who the father is"?

I looked at the doctor

"Of course I do. Just because I'm a young single mother doesn't mean I sleep around" I spat

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have presumed," He said

"What's the father's name?"

"Um.Umm" I muttered

I couldn't say it not in front of Jeff. I didn't want o tell him like that.

" I want to see my baby," I said as I ran out of the room.

"There she is" The nurse said as she led me to see her.

Oh my God, she looked so small, she was sleeping when I went in I held on to her little hand praying to God that she would be better soon. She was only 9 months old she was too young to feel pain like this. Tubes where coming out of her nose and she was in an incubator. The sight of her lying they're looking so frail will never leave me.

I heard the door open to the room we were in.

"She's mine isn't she" Jeff Asked

"Yes" I whispered

I looked at him; I could see the pain in his eyes. He turned around and walked away.

"Jeff.Jeff" I shouted

However, he didn't look back, he just kept walking away.
