Ron hugged her, then let her go, watching in horror as she was taken into the Operating Room.
We sat and waited. I rubbed his back, trying to keep him calm despite all that had been going on. It wasn't fair to him, to go through so much stress and worry in such a short period. Despite buying food for him when I went outside to get some, he refused to eat. I respected that, keeping the food by the side.
"You know one of the best days of my life?" Ron spoke out of nowhere, catching my attention.
"No."
"The day Maddy was born. One of the few times I have balled my eyes out. I held that little, fragile bundle of joy in my arms and before I knew it, the waterworks happened."
"She will make it. I know it's hard not to think of the bad things that could happen, but she has come this far, hasn't she?" I encouraged Ron. Right now, he needed me to be his support. He'd supported me so much with my music and my parents. I needed to be there for him too. "Maddy is a fighter, you know that."
Ron smiled at me, and I rested my head on his lap while he caressed my hair. "I'm so lucky I found you."
"I think I'm the lucky one, honestly."
We waited for almost three hours which Ron finally ate until the doctor came out from the surgery room. As he walked toward us, I felt truly scared for the first time regarding Maddy's fate. Did she make it? Were there complications? I needed to know.
Ronald Razor's POV
The only thing keeping me standing was the knowledge that my daughter would be okay. If I received any answer other than that, I might collapse right here and now. Try as I may to be strong for my family, I was spent. Too many things had happened to me. My legs still rang from pain whenever I stood for an extended time thanks to the accident.
Dr. Grey reached us and smiled before saying, "The surgery was a resounding success."
Maryam yelled for joy and rested on my shoulder.
"Where is she? Is she awake? Can I see her?" My mind would never be at peace until I saw her alive and well.
"For now, she is still recovering. We usually come and give the family the news before the person wakes up to alleviate their concerns," He elaborated. "You guys can see her through the glass, though. Come with me."
Maryam kept buzzing, holding onto my hand, but I remained laser-focused on making sure Maddy was okay. We reached a space from which we could see Maddy in the surgery room. She had some stuff connected to her body, but I knew that was protocol even though I didn't know about their individual use. The heart monitor also looked healthy. At this point, I smiled, finally being able to be at peace. All those years of suffering and worry would finally be over.
"Thank you, Doctor," I offered a handshake while staring at him. He smiled and accepted my handshake.
"Just doing my job. I'm glad for you and your family."
Dr. Grey walked away, and I yelled with joy, picking Maryam up, much to her surprise, and spinning her around. "Yes!"
"Things are finally working themselves out, Maryam, my love."
"Yes. Yes, they are. I told you to stay positive," she reminded me.
"You're darn right about that, baby. I love you so much! You've gotten me through the worst moments of my life. I don't know what I would have been able to overcome these recent times without you. God brought you into my life for a reason, Maryam Carey."
"You saved me, Rob. My life was pretty much tethering at the edge. I contemplated heading back home but with you? When you came into my life, you showed me what love was and protected me from the tabloids and all that stuff. I can't imagine giving myself to anyone but you and I can't wait to see Maddy achieve her dreams in the future."
What a woman.
"Also, I thought about the right time to tell you this, but this might be as good a time as any but… I'm pregnant." I saw the uncertainty in her eyes when she said that. A part of me felt sad that she even considered I wouldn't be happy with such news. I would be able to be a father for a second time and this time, I'll do a better job than the first.
How? How the fuck did I get so lucky?! The joy I felt right now was too much for one man to bear. I pulled her closer to me, her rosy lips the only attraction I needed right now. A kiss is as tasteful as joy in its purest form. I could get lost in her lips forever. Our tongues complimented one another as our lips showed love. Thank you for coming into my life, Maryam. Thank you.
"I can't wait to raise a child with you," I said, and she beamed a smile, showing her beautiful teeth. Maryam blushed furiously, kissing me again and again. I'm the luckiest man on Earth!
