Chapter 50:

Aston’s POV:

I was sat at (Your name)’s house waiting for her to come back, which she hadn’t. She’d been gone for two hours now and it was starting to get dark, and I knew (Your name) didn’t like being out in the dark by herself. Although, I stayed here because of Ivy; I couldn’t leave her on her own.

Sighing with frustration, I glanced at the clock and saw it was now half past eleven! But then the land line rung.

“Hello?” I asked down the phone “hello, is that Mr Merrygold?” A male voice answered the phone “yes... It is,” my voice trembles as I don’t know how they have registered me straight away. “Hello sir, I was wondering if you could come down to London hospital please,” “what for?” “I’ll explain everything to you, when you get here,” the man said, before the phone line was cut off.

“Come on baby, get up. You have to come with me, mummy isn’t back and I need to go to the hospital, and I can’t leave you by yourself,” I say quietly to Ivy as I wake her up, and put her in a six year old baby grow. “Why? Where’s mummy?” She asks tiredly “I don’t know baby, I wish I knew the answer,” I whispered to her, as I then picked up her tired body. “You can sleep in the car and hospital,” I whispered to her again, as I felt her bury her face into my neck and fall asleep again.
Arriving at the hospital, I had phone the group and all of them were here, and Ivy was asleep on Marvin’s lap, but I sat and stared at (Your name)’s private ward door, hoping that I’d soon be able to go in there. Everything the doctor said replayed in my head.

Flashback:

“Hello Mr Merrygold, take a seat. Thank you for coming down,” the doctor said to me, as he invited me into his office and to the seat in front of his desk. “What am I here for?” I asked, totally bewildered by the whole situation. “I am about to tell you... About two hours ago, Miss (Your full name) was admitted to this hospital-” “Why, what’s happened?!” I panic “Sir, please calm down... (Your name) was in a car crash, and was found unconscious by paramedics. Her car was completely totalled-” “I don’t care about the God damn car! I want to know about (Your name)!” “Alright, like I said she was found in her car unconscious when paramedics got to the scene: there was blood on her head and the front window, so we think she must have been thrown forward and hit her head on the window, although she was strapped in... I believe she was three months pregnant,” “yes... She is,” my voice panics “I’m afraid... You won’t be having a baby... She miscarried the child on impact of the accident,” he says calmly as I look down, and my throat becomes dry, “oh no,” I mumble, before I burst out into tears. My baby was killed, murdered in a car accident because of me! If I hadn’t insulted (Your name), we wouldn’t be in this mess and she would still be carrying my child! “That’s all information that I have,” the doctor then says “is she awake?” I choke on tears and mumble “No, she’s still unconscious, but as soon as she is awake, we will let you know,” he says softly, as I then get up and excuse myself from his room.

When I had gotten outside the doctor’s office, I slowly pulled my phone out of my pocket and began to dial Marvin’s number. “Hello,” he answers soon afterwards, “hey Marv, it’s Ast,” I address myself, but my voice is weak. “You okay? You seem down,” “Marv, I’m at London hospital, could you call the group over, please,” “what, why?” His voice panics “I’ll tell you when you get here,” and after that, I hung up.

End of flashback:

“Hey Ast, are you feeling any better?” Laura asks me quietly as she is crouched in front of me, “not really,” I frown before looking down to the floor. “Hey, stop kicking yourself for this, it isn’t your fault,” “it is! If I hadn’t insulted her then we wouldn’t be here,” I say, but Laura sighs and looks down. “What did you say to her?” Fay overhears and asks me, but I glance over my shoulder to see her standing there with a blue plastic cup of water, as I sigh at the same time. “I called her a brat,” I mumble, “that isn’t that bad,” “yeah, but then I said she makes me sick,” I sigh again as the girls frown “why?” “Because she spoke about the having sex thing and I kind of accused her being with me for sex only...” I say, as I notice the doctor come out from the ward of (Your name) and start to slowly approach us. “Plus, I kind of realized that I hadn’t had sex with her for ages!” I said quickly, just as the doctor approaches the group, as we all stand up and listen intently.

(Your name)’s POV:

Waking up softly to a new surrounding: a bed, a heart monitor and an empty room; you then realized you were in hospital. You frowned and became confused and then remembered the last thing that had happened to you, a car accident.

This instantly reminded you of your unborn child. Although, when your hands connected to your stomach, it wasn’t what you wanted to feel... There was no bump. Your eyes widened and you panicked “my baby,” you said quietly and panicked before looking at your stomach to see it flat, “my baby!” You said louder and began to cry “where’s my baby?” You cried heavily now and felt alone.

Just then, the door opens and a doctor walks in. “Oh, hello... Are you okay?” He realizes your state and rushes to your side for your need, but you slowly put your hand on his and grip it tightly “where’s my baby?” You ask, still crying heavily “I’m afraid you had a miscarriage on impact of the accident,” he says, you freeze in shock to take in the words. “NO,” you scream and crying even heavier.
The doctor had just left, but you sit and embrace your knees as you stare at the door. The doctor said that Aston had come to see you, although you were very reluctant to see him, because of the miscarried baby.

“Hello,” Aston’s voice is soft as he walks into the room, and allows the door to swing shut, by itself. Although at the sight of him, you burst out into tears and hold out your arms to be held, which he immediately does. “Shh, its okay baby, it’s okay,” “no... I lost the baby,” you whisper “its fine and I know... The doctor told me, but you’re here and that’s the main thing. My beautiful girlfriend is still with me, and that’s all that matters right now,” he whispers back, as you relax and take a quiet deep breath to calm yourself. “I’m so sorry,” you whisper to him,” “what for?” “For losing the baby,” “hey...” He starts as he pulls out the hug and sits next to you on the bed, “that doesn’t matter. Yeah I know it’s devastating, and I’m distraught about it, but... You’re still here, we can try again-” “But Ast, we never tried for the baby... We never tried for Ivy... I always seem to ‘just’ get pregnant,” “but if you want to have another one, I grantee you that we WILL plan this baby, but I know you need time and it may take years before you even think about wanting to try for another child,” he whispers to you, as you frown and snuggle up to him, while he kisses the top of your head, “I love you,” he whispers as you smile and hold him tighter “I love you too,” you whisper back.

Sorry for not posting last night, time went to quickly!
