Chapter 85

Liam's POV

When Bella and Sophie got into an accident, I thought that day was the scariest day of my life. But today doubles the fear. We might lose our second child. I was really looking forward to seeing Bella's belly grew bigger every day with our child.

God, please, I am knocking at your door once again. Save our child, and please protect Bella. They are my life, and I know she was really excited about this baby. Please don't take him away from us.

I was pacing the floor outside the emergency room impatiently, waiting for the doctor to come out. I've called my mother-in-law a while ago and told her what happened and to please look after Sophie while we are at the hospital.

Bella has been through a lot, but she never gives up and remained strong and resilient. I know she will get through this and will never give up on our baby. We only have three days left until our wedding day. She has to be okay. I can't wait to call her my wife and spend the rest of my life with her.

The door to the ER opened up, and nurses came out with the Doctor. I rushed to him and asked about my wife and my child.

" Doctor Steve, is my wife okay? Is our child okay?" I asked him frantically.

" Doctor Jones, your wife is going to be fine. Your child is going to be fine. It was critical a while ago. We almost lost the baby, but I guess he really wants to see the world. You got a tough one in there, and your wife fought hard to keep it." The doctor said, and I let out a breath of relief.

" We put her to sleep while doing the necessary procedure. She was stressing too much, and it was not good for her condition. She had what we call a 'Threatened Miscarriage,' which usually happens to pregnant women before the baby reaches 20 weeks old."He explained.

" She must have suffered a traumatic or stressful experience to trigger this threat. I suggest you don't allow her to do strenuous activities and take a lot of rest. She has to be kept overnight to monitor her condition and to make sure the bleeding stopped." He added, and I nodded my head. Taking notes of all the dos and don'ts.

" She will be transferred to a private room in a while. And Doctor Jones, congratulations on your wedding and the baby." He said, extending his hand for me to shake.

" Thanks, Doctor, and thank you for saving our child." I accepted his handshake and thanked him.

" Anytime, Doctor. Okay, I got to go. I have patients waiting for me. Just ask the reception or her room number, Doctor, and you can wait for her there." He said before walking away.

My parents approached me and hugged me in relief. They had quite the scare as well. I thanked them for their quick response and for bringing Bella to the hospital right away. We all went to the front desk and asked for Bella's room number.

" Liam, we have to go back and get Bella's necessities and prepare dinner for you both. We will be back later, okay?" My mom announced, and I nodded my head. We said our goodbyes there, and I proceeded to Bella's room.

I walked into the room and saw my very pale fiance lying on the bed, sleeping. I walked towards her after closing the door slowly. She looked so fragile and small on that bed, and it breaks my heart. I kissed her forehead softly and sat beside her.

I touched her belly and thanked God my child is still there. I felt Bella stirred and slowly opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion, then focussed her gaze on me.

Her eyes watered, and she started crying. I jumped on my feet and laid beside her, gathering her in my arms. She is trembling and sobbing.

" Shhhh, baby. Don't cry. You're okay, and our baby is okay. Please stop stressing out. It's not good for you or the baby." I begged her and kissed her head repeatedly.

" I was so scared, Liam. I thought I'm going to lose him. But when I passed out, I had a strange dream." She whispered in between hiccups.

" What was it, babe?" I asked her softly.

" I saw Collette. She looked so happy and so real. She hugged me, and it felt so real. I can smell her scent and touch her warm flesh. I thought I died. But she said I was only dreaming. She said she is happy for both of us and not to worry about our baby." She sobbed, and my heart twisted. I wish I could be there too and hugged my baby sis.

" See? You don't have to worry about a thing then. You have a badass guardian angel in heaven now." I joked to lighten her mood, and she giggled.  She hugged me tightly, and I did too.

" I really miss her, and I guess she knows that. That's why she showed up in my dream. I am okay now because she looks happy. She is finally at peace, Liam." She said, and I smiled. I am glad she finally accepted the fact that Collette is gone. I think her death added to her stress and depression.

" I'm glad, baby. Now we can go on with our lives and honor her wish. For us to live a happy and peaceful life. I can't wait for the day you officially become my wife, Bella." I told her with a voice full of emotion.

" That we should, babe. For Collette. For us. For our children." She replied and lifted her face to me with a smile. Her eyes are swollen, but she still takes my breath away. I dipped my head and kissed her tenderly.

" I love you, Bella, with all my heart. I will prove it to you every day for the rest of our lives." I told her, staring lovingly into her beautiful, hazel eyes.

" I love you, too, Liam, always and forever." She answered. I kissed her forehead, and we hugged, sighing deeply. Thankful to God that we have each other. That we are given a chance to be with each other and live the rest of our lives together.

We've been through a lot. I am so grateful to her for coming back into my life, giving me Sophie, and making me whole. I can't imagine the rest of my life without her and our children. I am complete. She completes me.

We fell asleep holding each other tight. Deep down inside I know, the storm has passed and we'll get to see the sunshine again. Being with Bella and having her in my arms makes every obstacle easy to endure.
