Chapter 5
Eric sat in the waiting area of the hospital, gently sobbing with his head in his hands. He was so worried about Natalia. He had never seen so much blood in his life, and he hated the fact that the blood was coming out from the woman he loved.
"Mr. Delko, Dr. Jones wants to discuss Natalias condition with you." Said a small plump nurse. Eric looked up and met the nurses eyes; he tried to read the nurse to see if it was good news or bad.
"O-ok." He stuttered as he followed the nurse down a narrow corridor.
"Is she going to be ok?" He couldnt help but ask.
"Thats what Dr. Jones is going to tell you." The nurse replied quite casually.
She walked up to a tall dark man and nudged him.
"This is Mr. Delko." She whispered.
The man turned slightly and met Erics eyes.
"Hello Mr. Delko, I'm Dr. Jones." He said extending his hand out, and Eric shook it firmly.
"Yeah, I know." He replied quickly, too upset to think straight. Dr. Jones glanced down at his clipboard, that he was holding, and began to read it too himself in his head. The suspense was killing Eric.
"Is she going to be alright?" He asked squeezing his fists. Dr. Jones looked up at Eric and gave a little smile.
"Natalia will be fine, shes going to need a couple of stitches in her arm, and shell have some bruising, but overall shell be fine."
Eric felt like a huge brick had been taken off his chest. He sighed with relief.
"When can I see her?"
"I'm not done yet..." Dr. Jones said, giving him a funny look.
He felt his stomach tie into a tight knot.
"What is it?" He asked in a shaky voice.
"Well, her babys fine, for one thing." He replied as he wrote something on his clipboard.
Eric bit his bottom lip and felt his back get all tingly.
"Uh, what baby? I think you must be mistaken. Natalia isnt pregnant, Calleigh is preg..." He stopped and realized what he was about to say.
"No, Mr. Delko, Natalia is 5 weeks pregnant." Dr. Jones continued.
Eric went totally blank for a second.
"Oh my God." He whispered under his breath.
"I think you better go in and see her."
Eric nodded and followed him into Natalias room. He saw her lying in the hospital with her eyes open, looking blankly into the corner of the room.
She looked as though she had no color in her body.
He sat down on the side of her bed and held her hand. He looked at her confused and upset face, but he could not gain eye contact with her, because she was avoiding his eyes.
"Nat, talk to me." He said squeezing her hand. She turned away, and her face crumpled up into tears.
"Baby, dont cry!" Eric begged, as he held her head gently, and she sobbed on his chest. After a moment or two, she spoke up.
"I'm so sorry Eric, I was just so scared, Im not ready for this! I cant have a child!" She sobbed.
"I cant look after a baby, I cant even look after myself!" She said as she pointed to her arm.
"Baby, you'd make a great mother!" He began as he wrapped his arms around her tightly and began to cry softly himself.
"But I dont WANT to be a mother! Well not right now. Plus, how am I going to support myself? I dont want to be a single mom."
"You wont be a single mom, what about me? Ill be right here."
Natalia looked up at Eric, and saw his tear stained face, and she just knew that she could trust him.
"What made you even THINK that I would leave cause of your pregnancy? I couldnt leave you, even if I wanted too." He added kissing her nose. She smiled slightly as Eric touched her stomach gently.
"I wonder if Ill be able to feel the baby kicking!" He exclaimed excitedly as he pulled her shirt up, and began to give her a raspberry.
"Eric! Stop it!" She giggled as she tried to push him off her, but she stopped when she felt the pain that applying pressure did to her arm.
"Are you ok? Did I hurt you?" Eric asked in a very worried tone.
"No, its just my arm. Theyre like going to put a gazillion stitches in it tomorrow." She sighed as she studied the bandage that was around her arm now.
"Oh." He replied as he also studied the bandage.
"You're going to be a daddy." She said with a large grin on her face.
He smiled to himself as he thought how weird it would be having somebody calling him daddy.
He then leaned down towards her stomach again, but this time he began singing softly.
"Hush little baby, dont you cry, daddys gonna buy you a piece of pie." He said as he went red in the face, because he didnt know the lyrics.
Natalia giggled as he continued to sing his own version of the song.
Let me know what you think! :thumbsup:
