41Oh, No! “What is happening here!?” Mom’s turning red as she walk near us. I immediately stood up and look at dad with a blank expression and when I look at Arthur he exchange nod with dad. “Calm down.” Dad said while holding mom’s shoulder and when I look at Arthur he just smile and didn’t say anything. I’m thinking that he already told dad and ask for his blessing before going here. It’s making me wonder if he also ask dad where I’m staying because dad doesn’t seem surprise to see me here. “How can I calm down when our daughter is with that man?! The man who doesn’t care about her.” Mom said the last word with pain. I bit my lips and look down on my shoes. “I’m not wrong. He was never there when Emily suffer and cried when she taught she lost her baby? When sh

43Back fire “Is this your way of making it up to me?” I cling on his arms as we both enter the mall. We just finish going to my OB for our monthly check up. I’m currently three months pregnant and my baby bump is getting big and noticeable. “Hmm, I guess, it’s my way of saying sorry that I’m constantly over-timing.” I smile and nodded. “I understand. Plus, you always go home to eat lunch together and I appreciate that even though I still lack skills for cooking.” He shook his head and kiss my lips instead of replying to me. I pouted and look at the people who was looking at us and they immediately look away when I caught them, I rolled my eyes Arthur still has many admirers where ever we go. Where at the baby station again, We haven’t talk about the name of the baby

45Baby showerI’m nervous and excited at the same time. I know I said that it would matter if it’s a girl or boy but I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. They told me that it might be a girl because I look so blooming but I don’t want to assume but I must admit I also wanted a mini me. I want to take my baby to a ballet class, dress her up and the likes but that would be a nightmare to Arthur as he told me that he’s a little scared that if it might be a girl guys would come following her and court her.“I’m nervous.” I look at Arthur who’s driving the car as we’re on our way to the venue of the baby shower. “Do you think I will be a good mother? What if I failed her or him? Would they still love me?”He hold my hands in my lap while he continue driving. “You will be a great parent plus no one is perfect at this and we’ll figure this out together. You’re not alone in this. I’m here by your side.”That made me calm down and feel at ease. He always know what to say when I’m doubting m

47AliveI woke up with a foggy feeling. My whole body hurts like hell and when I open my eyes my vision is still blurry but I know I’m in the hospital because I know this feeling so damn well. I look at the ceiling and my eyes wander around the surrounding and when I saw my parents talking with Arthur while panicking all the memories gushing back to me.My brows creased as I try to remember what happen after the accident but I can’t it’s just making my head hurt.“My baby.” I hold my stomach and was about to sit when I felt pain in my stomach and in my head. I hold my head and notice that wrap by a bandage.“Emily!” they all notice me and Arthur immediately went to me and made me return to lay on bed.“W-what happen?” I ask them as I felt scared. “Reign, where’s Reign. She’s still inside me right?”I’m scared and nervous because there’s this feeling that she’s not here but I felt a slight hope and that what’s keeping me from going.Arthur shook his head and that made me lose my mind

49 (Part 1)HealArthur’s POVI don’t know what to do without her and I can’t lose her too, I can’t take anymore losses in my life. I had enough of this. I just want Emily to be okay.It’s been hours when the doctors took Emily to the operating room and I haven’t head from them yet. They say it’s good because the surgery is going good and I’m hoping it will.“Arthur, you should rest. It’s been six hours and you haven’t even eaten yet.”Emily’s mom give me food and water but I chose to stay outside the waiting room. I don’t want to stay in the room alone I feel more at ease here. This way I will see people, it gives me hope when the doctors deliver the good news to them but it has a down side too, I also see them deliver bad news and I feel my body breaking thinking if that will happen to me too but Emily is strong, she will get through this like she get through all the obstacles life throws at her because that’s the Emily that I know.“She’s strong.” I whisper again and again until th
