34. Time Will Tell
Damian POV
The second the doctor spoke I strode towards him with my son in my arms. I still hadn't let Dolph take him, I couldn't let go, I wanted him close to me so that I had a part of her close to me. For all I knew right now he could be all I had left of her.
"Is she alright?" I ask as Dolph comes to stand behind me
"Can I ask who you both are first?" The doctor says
"Fiancé, Son and Brother" I say before Dolph has chance to speak, I knew he wanted to be with her as much as I did and I also knew that if I said friend they might not let him see her.
"Alright, Miss Logan is in recovery right now, she's stable but it was touch and go for moment" he says "I'm afraid that while we were trying to stop the bleed she had a heart attack"
"She what?" Dolph gasps "how? Was it caused by the blood loss?"
"That's what we thought initially" he says "but after some investigation we found out that she has a condition called Atherosclerosis, it's where the arteries become clogged, harden and narrow"
"What does all this mean? What are you telling me? Is she going to die?" I ask panic rising within me as Mack grumbles in my arms
"She will have to make some lifestyle changes" he says "it's treatable with medication and we inserted a stent to open the artery which she will have for the rest of her life"
"When you say lifestyle changes what are we looking at?" I ask
"Healthy diet, exercise and she will have to be careful if she gets pregnant again" he says
"Can we see her?" Dolph asks "is she allowed visitors?"
"Of course but she isn't awake yet" he says "her body has been through alot in a short space of time, if and when she wakes up we can assess her properly"
"Woah woah if? What do you mean if?" Dolph asks
"Heart surgery isn't without its risks and problems" he says "only time will tell if the stent has worked, now if you'd like to follow me I'll take you to her"
As we follow the doctor I'm in a complete daze, I'm feeling a mixture of things, anger, why did this have to happen to her? Heartache, fear, and confusion.
We may not have been together that long but I no longer knew how to be without her, she is my everything and I don't think I can live without her.
When we walk into the room my eyes immediately fall on her, lying in the bed surrounded by machines she looks so tiny and fragile. For the first time since he was born I allow Dolph to take Mack from me before going to sit beside her.
Gently I take her hand and raise it to my lips before pressing it to my cheek. I longed for her to gently scratch the stubble on my cheek like she always does but her hand doesn't move.
"I'm here mi amor" I say quietly "and I'm staying right here until you open those beautiful eyes. We need you to fight, Mack needs his mommy, I need my princesa, we love you so much"
"Im here too Zee and so is Mack" Dolph says "I know you can fight this, you're one of the strongest people I know"
Macks grumbles grow louder and I have the suspicion that he may be hungry, I wasn't really sure what to do, Zoe had made it clear she wanted to breast feed but right now she couldn't.
"Hey it's alright little man" Dolph says rocking him gently "You're mommy is going to be fine"
"I think he may be hungry" I say "but I don't have anything and well Zoe can't feed him, his first day in this world and I'm already letting him down"
"You are not letting him down Damian" he says sternly "your doing the best you can, now I'm going to go see if I can find a nurse and see if they can get him a bottle" he says and my eyes widen "Relax man I'll bring him right back"
Dolph leaves the room leaving me alone with my sleeping princesa. My eyes trail down from her face to the start of the wound on her chest, today should have been a happy day, a day of celebrating our sons birth and instead the love of my life is laying here fighting to come back to us.
"You should see our boy mi amor, he's beautiful he has my hair and nose and your eyes" I say hoping that she can hear me "I can't believe that I helped to make something so perfect, but I don't know if I can take care of him on my own, I don't have a clue what I'm doing and I'm scared"
I search her face looking for any sign that she can hear me, that she is aware of my presence but there is nothing. The only sound in the room is that of the machines. I place her hand on my face once more and allow the tears to fall.
"Please come back to me" I sob "Please open your eyes, please mi amor"
