Okay, chappie eight. If it's a crappy chapter, tell me in your review!
I don't own any characters that you recognize. I only own Kat, Hannah, Dana, the creepy guy, Francis, the journalist guy, and Miss Lula(not really a character, just mentioned a few times briefly).
Chapter 8
The next day Rob, Kat, Hannah, and I went to the hospital to see my family. I went to my parents' room first and noticed something; MOM WAS AWAKE!
I ran over to her and hugged her. "Mom, you're okay!" I was crying a little, but I didn't care.
"I'm just fine Jess," Mom said, stroking my back. "Do you know anything about your brothers?"
"No," I said.
Mom frowned slightly, but covered her sorrow up. She handed me a tissue and I fixed up my face. I sat by my mom and told her all about what happened. She was a little surprised when I told her about my pregnancy, but she kept on saying "I'm gonna be a grandma", "I'm so glad for you Jess", and "It had better be a girl!"
After about an hour and a half, I left to see my brothers. When I asked the nurse what room they were in, she said that they were dead. I froze in Rob's arms and starting hyperventilating. Then, I fainted.
Rob's POV
They had taken Jess to a room and were trying to see if she was all right and that the baby was safe. I sat in the waiting room with Kat and Hannah; a million thoughts racing through my head.
Kat came and sat next to me. She put a hand on my shoulder. "Are you going to be okay Rob?"
"I have no idea Kat," I said, rubbing my forehead. "I have no idea."
Later that night I slept in Jess's room and dreamt that none of this had ever happened. I woke up again and saw that Jess was awaking at the same time. When she was wide awake, I hugged her and kissed her all over.
"Hey Rob," she said. She sounded a bit weak, but still as strong as she always is. "Are you all right baby?"
"I'm fine," I said. "How are you doing Jess? Is the baby all right? Are you all right?"
"We're both fine I bet," she said. "Don't worry so much Rob. Everything is going to be okay. I know it."
I chuckled and kissed her cheek. I told her that I would see her in the morning and left. I got on my Indian and rode off to my mom's house. I opened the door to find Mom and Gary sleeping on the couch. I guessed that they were watching an old black-and-white film and turned off the TV. I walked upstairs to my room quietly and flopped onto my bed. I couldn't wait until everything would get back to normal.
Jess's POV
Next Morning
I woke up again and noticed that it was eight in the morning. Visiting hours weren't until eight-thirty, so I could relax for a little while. I lay in my bed, thinking of the past events. Why did my brothers have to die? Why couldn't they have survived? I mean, my mom's awake, and I just found out that my dad awoke at midnight. Why did my brothers have to die! I'll miss them so much.
A nurse came in and handed me my breakfast tray. She set it on my lap and asked when I wanted my visitors to come in when they come. I told her a quarter till nine and she nodded and left quietly.
I fell back onto my bed and sighed. Why are things so complicated these days? What did I do to deserve this! I just want to go back to college and pretend that none of this ever happened. Then, Rob came in and kissed me.
"Are you okay Jess?" he asked.
"I'm better," I said, patting my stomach. "Did you get any sleep Rob?"
"A little, very little," he said, rubbing his forehead.
"Well, the baby and I are fine," I said. "And Rob?"
"Yeah, Jess?" he said.
"Get some sleep honey; bags are going to form under your eyes soon," I said, caressing his cheek. He nodded and I kissed him softly on the lips. "Get some sleep and then you can visit me. Got it?"
He saluted me and marched out the room like a Boy Scout. I started laughing so hard that my sides hurt. Maybe, this won't be so bad of a life after all.
All right, this is the final chapter before the epilogue. I really want to get this baby finished so that I can start the sequel soon. I'll post this and the last chapter up tonight.
