ONB-Chapter 16

Chapter 16

-Alex; Two Days Later-

I was walking the hospital room with flowers for Aubrey. The doctors think she is going to wake up today. I was going to visit her first before I went to see the baby. I wonder if he was going to be awake. He did wake up when I went to see him yesterday. When I got into the room Aubrey opened her eyes. I was so happy! I ran over to her!

“Honey, you’re alright?!” I screamed and hugged her tight.

“What happened to me, Alex?” She asked. She looked like she was in pain. I felt bad forgetting her into this situation. It was my fault that Melody came to town. I didn’t think she would still be chasing me.

“You were shot…” I told her. I looked down at the ground. I then looked into her eyes. She was crying a little bit. I think it was more because of shock.

“W-What h-happened to the b-baby?” She asked me.

-Aubrey-

Alex looked down for a second. I could feel more tears in my eyes. I saw him crack a smile which was a good sign. “He is doing great! He is gaining weight and everything. I know he needs his mommy. But we can hold him in a couple of weeks.”

Alex smiled which made me smile even more! “Awe, I’m so excited that he is doing well. What did you name him?”

“I named him Vladimir Alexander.” He said and smiled! I was so excited that he named him what I wanted to name him. I was looking through name books, but I didn’t know still. Then I saw the name Vladimir and I got excited! I was going to call him Vlad for short. I loved that name as well after reading the Vladimir Todd series.

“I’m so happy.” I said.

“I knew you would be.” He said and kissed me on the cheek. I wonder when I was going to be able to see him. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get out of the hospital for a while. I was upset that I wasn’t able to get out. I hated being in the hospital. Anyone that knew me would know that I hate hospitals. I didn’t like being around them either. I didn’t like when I had to come here to see Jonathon, but I had to. I felt like I owed it to him. He was dying and I had loved him once.

“Is he adorable?”

“Yes, he is.” Alex smiled. I was glad that the baby was safe, but I know it’s going to be hard on me. I wasn’t able to see my little boy. I couldn’t wait to see him.

-First Visit-

Today I was able to go visit my little boy. I was so happy that I was going to be able to see him. When I first got in the room I could feel tears slipping down my cheeks. He was so tiny and I felt like I could break him if I held him. I put my hand in the incubator. He was actually awake. I was glad because he was looking straight up at me.

He grabbed my finger too. He was crying, but I knew I couldn’t hold him right now. I know I could hold him when he was a little bigger than he was. I hope that he was eating right. The doctors said that when he grows more he can go home. They want him to be at least five pounds when he goes home. He was only a couple of pounds. It depends on how much he eats.

“I think he’ll be able to go home in a couple of weeks. He eats a lot for such a little guy.” A nurse said coming in. I just smiled. I wanted him to be healthy. The nurse seemed sure that he was going to be okay. I was going to trust her and the doctor’s judgment. It’s not like I was a doctor myself. I worked in a little shop. We sold coffees, donuts, bagels, and cakes. I would consider us a bakery, but we sometimes will serve other things. We get lots of orders from people.

He was still crying because I wasn’t able to hold him. I was about to cry myself because he was crying. Alex came in a couple of minutes later. The baby was still crying, but he was starting to fall asleep. Well he fell asleep crying.

“He’s really cute. I hope that he is okay.” Alex said to me. I nodded because I didn’t have much to say. I started to think about Melody. I hope she was going to jail for what she has done to me. She almost killed my baby as well. I was in a little bit of pain. I was going to have to go back to my hospital room.

“Can you help me back to my room?” I asked Alex.

“Yes, honey.” He said and kissed me on the cheek. I didn’t want to hear the baby crying anymore either. I knew he was going to start when I wasn’t in the room. I think most little babies are aware when their parents leave. I still was sad myself. I wanted to hold him, but I can’t. I was crying a little bit.

“Honey, don’t cry.” Alex said wiping my tears away.

“What did that girl have to shoot me? I wanted to carry little Vlad to full term. I never thought that I wouldn’t be able to do that. He is so tiny. I can’t even hold him right now. He was crying the whole time that I was in the room. He probably wanted to be held. It’s so hard for me not to cry.” I said.

“I know. Honey, Melody is going to jail. She will be in there for attempted murder. This is a very serious crime. I know it’s hard for you to see him like that. I can’t wait until we can hold him as well. I know it’s hard for you to see your child cry. It’s hard for me to see him cry. Just remember when you’re wound heals you will be able to hold him. He will be big enough. Please don’t worry. He loves you. You can tell.” Alex said and kissed my cheek. Those words made me feel a lot better. I was glad that they were going to be putting that girl in jail. She didn’t deserve to walk the streets. I wonder how long she was going to be in jail. She was mentally unstable, but I knew that she was thinking of killing. I knew she was dangerous. I was thinking she was going to be in jail for life. I was glad because there would be no harm to me or my baby ever again.

Im so happy Aubrey is okay, and that Melody is getting a taste of her own medicine.

If I were Aubrey though, I'd be kinda upset that my husband named my baby without me. It seems kinda like that would be something that both of them would want to do together. BUT as long as both of them are happy with the name, then who cares really? :D

But good things never last too long...I wonder whats going to happen next...?
