Beep
I opened my eyes slowly and saw that I was in a hospital room I was surrounded by flowers and cards I felt like someone ran me over a hundred times repeatedly. Why was I here? What happened to me?
The door slowly opened and the person appeared to be Johnny he looked at me with a smile of relief I tried to stand up but my body felt to painful and my head was hurting badly.
"Mike she's awake." Johnny called out Mike was at the door in a flash he went by my side and sat down.
"Hello Jasmine, How are you doing?"
I was about to answer but my throat was as dry as sandpaper I pointed at my throat till they understood they gave me a drink of water before I could reply.
"I'm- I don't know what I'm feeling actually saying I'm Ok would be a lie." I expressed he looked at me with sadness.
"Jasmine what happened when you went to the bathroom in Town?" Johnny asked I can't remember what had happened that's when it all came back to me.
Lily with Mark
Going to the bathroom
Dean Dean is here
Luke and Hannah
I stood up immediately I don't care how painful it hurt Dean was going to hurt the two people I love more than anything over my dead body I pulled out the IV drip from my arm.
"Jasmine you need to lay down and rest." Mike urged I shook my head.
"I need to- he's gonna hurt them." I jumbled up in speech Johnny had a confused look on his face but Mike knew what I meant.
"Jasmine was he the one who did this to you." I looked down avoiding eye contact till I remember what Dean said to me I rarely ever lie but only if it concerns Luke and Hannah.
"No- it wasn't him- I'm just tired can I please be alone so I can rest." I muttered they nodded and left the room I layed and sat down and saw that my legs were covered in bruises at least this time I'm not pregnant I feel very sore in my 'area' and I know he did it again What if I get pregnant again?
If I do I know I'll love he or she but I will be not only putting two but three of my babies into this situation they will suffer for the mistakes I made.
My eyes started to water and before I knew it I was full out sobbing I cuddled up in a ball on my side and cried myself to sleep that's when I knew I was truly alone.
A day later
Today I got discharged from the hospital it's great because I get to see Luke and Hannah today as promised Mike wanted them to come at a later date on account of my injuries but I refused and convinced him he was not keen to oblige but did anyway.
So here I am in my room reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz when I heard a knock at my door I called out come in Mike entered with a smile on his face.
"Are they here?" I asked he nodded I stood up leaving my book abandoned on my bed I was quick to run downstairs I saw everyone in the hallway having confused looks on their faces I then noticed Lily was there amongst the crowd they are probably thinking Why would two babies visit a foster home? I would be thinking the same thing.
I took a deep breath as Mike guided me to the visiting room I ignored all the curious stares and entered the room I felt like everything was in slow motion May-Li, man and a woman sat on the chairs while Hannah and Luke were in carry around car seats next to each other on the floor.
I immediately kneeled in front of them touching their faces they giggled as I did so which made me tear up a little I can't believe they are really here I want to slap myself so I can wake up from this dream but thankfully it isn't a dream.
"Jasmine this is Mr and Mrs Blake they have been taking care of Hannah and Luke since you have can here." May-li introduced we stood up and shook hands it's my first time meeting them they seem friendly and I could tell they were married before May-li introduced us by the way they were sitting and holding hands.
After the introductions we all sat down talking to each other I of course asked how they were taking care of them and if anything alarming happened over the time they have stayed there they answered that all was good and they were fine.
I took them out of their car seat and laid them on a blanket on the floor with their toys they played together which made my heart melt.
"Jasmine if you don't mind me asking-" Mrs Blake who told me to call her Cami started out nervously fidgeting with her fingers while Mr Blake kept a smile on his face "Are you planning on keeping them?"
That question stunned me I have never really been asked that question even before I was taken here I can't say the question has never came to my mind don't get me wrong I love Luke and Hannah so much but I sometimes think if I gave them up they would have a great life with a couple or a family and have so many opportunities in life.
And when I do get out of here I would have to live in a council flat with two babies and I think is that the life I want for them then I think if I do give them up it would kill me they are all I have left.
I held Hannah in my arms while Luke was sitting on my thigh bouncing up and down with a maraca giggling how could I ever let them go.
"No, I wouldn't be able to go of my babies." I answered looking down at a smiling Hannah then a giggling Luke Cami looked down with sigh Mr Blake just nodded.
"How about we let them take sometime alone for a bit." May-Li suggested they all nodded and left Luke, Hannah and I in the room alone after a long time of playing they looked ready for a nap I put them back in their car seat with blankets covering them they were still wide eyed awake.
I saw that there was a piano in the room and decided to play them the song I played to them that always got them to sleep.
I sat down at the piano and took a deep breath I smooth my fingers over the piano keys before I started to play.
(I do not own this song)
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
See I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
If I was a sculptor, but then again no
Or a girl who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
Oh [x8]
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world.
