“Yes.”
“The surgery was a success, but we had to take her fallopian tube and one of her ovaries.”
“Is she going to make it?”
“It looks promising, but it’s a wait and see game.”
“I need to see her.”
“You can see her after she’s out of recovery. You can wait in the waiting room on the fifth floor. That’s ICU.”
“ICU?”
“Yes, she’s not out of the woods. We need to watch her closely. We’re watching for an infection of the blood. Also, she has had several blood transfusions. She lost a lot of blood, but we’re hopeful she’ll make a full recovery.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
Alexander and Scarlet walk to the elevator with me. God, everything reminds me of her. The fucking elevator. I remember that’s where I learned the way her body reacted to me, whispering in her ear. I laughed as I remembered her telling me that I came on a little strong. I definitely did. I somehow knew the moment I looked at her that I needed her. She was what would heal my life. I became a dominant to hide myself from pain. I guess we weren’t all that different, her and I. She healed every broken part of me. Just being in the same room as her made everything easier.
The elevator doors opened, and we made our exit. I went to the waiting room and tried to be patient, but I wasn’t. I paced back and forth.
“It was good news Jamie.”
“Maybe. I need to see her. I need to tell her that I love her.”
“It might be awhile before she’s awake.”
“I still need to see her.”
After what felt like an eternity, a nurse came to get me, “One person at a time.”
I followed the nurse and walked into Stella’s room.
She looked so pale. I glanced at the nurse, “Is she going to make it?”
“We just don’t know yet. There can be other complications. She’s stable, so it looks good.” The nurse fluffed her pillow.
“You can sit with her. She’ll be in and out from the anesthesia.”
I walked over to her, terrified. Is this the beginning of the end? She looks like death. I sat down and touched her hand. Why is she so cold? I’d have to ask the nurse, but right now I just want to be near my Stella. I kissed her hand.
“Stella baby, I love you so much. I am so lost without you. I need you here with me. Forever and always. You said it, I’m holding you to it.”
I hear her whisper.
“Jamie.”
I look up at her beautiful eyes gazing at me.
“Is the baby okay? Please tell me the baby is okay.”
Oh God, she doesn’t know. I shake my head. “I’m sorry, baby. It wasn’t meant to be. The baby implanted in your fallopian tube instead of your uterus. Your fallopian tube burst.”
Tears immediately ran down her face. I didn’t want to upset her but I couldn’t let her think she was still pregnant.
“I’m sorry, baby.”
“It’s my fault Jamie. I did this.”
