Oswaldo's P.O.V

She looked so beautiful and peaceful lying there. It's been thirty-five weeks, six days, twelve hours, nineteen minutes and ten seconds, and still nothing. The doctors said that I should give it time that she will come around. But I didn't want to give it time, I wanted her to open her eyes and look at me. I was mad at her because somehow I knew that this was her way of running. But I wasn't going to let her, I'd come to the hospital every day for the rest of my life if I have to. I'm not gonna let her run from me.

"How is she?"

I turned around at the sound of Harmony's voice. I got off of the chair I was sitting in and offered it to her. I didn't want to leave Melody's side, but Harmony was still recuperating from her delivery. She'd given birth to a baby boy four months before, and it was a very hard delivery. She almost died. I glanced at the door and saw four armed bodyguards standing there, keeping watch over Harmony. I didn't know what Connor had gotten himself into that he needed to protect her from it. And to tell the truth, I wasn't sure I wanted to know.

"She's the same; they're no changes."

Harmony nodded, then took hold of Melody's hands. She came to the hospital as much as she could. Melody's parents had been coming every day as well, but I always leave the room when they were there. I still haven't forgiven them for the pain that they put her through. And I knew that it was because she was afraid that we would turn out like her parents that she keeps holding herself back.

I stood back as she talked to Melody, telling her about the things that she was missing out on. But when she started telling her about Megan, I couldn't take hearing it. I turned to walk out of the room. I had so much emotion bottled up inside of me I didn't know what to do with it.

I left the room and walked to the far end of the corridor. I slipped into the men's bathroom and closed the door behind me. Turning to view my face in the mirror, I didn't even recognise myself. I looked like a ghost of the person I once was. I turned on the tap and let the water run for I bit, wishing that it could wash away all of my worries. I splashed some on face then turned it back off.

Exiting the bathroom, I made my way back to Melody's room. Harmony was still there talking to her. She looked up when I entered and gave me a concerned look. I brushed her worries away by telling her I was fine. But we both knew that I was anything but fine.

After a while, she got up, getting ready to leave. It was sweet of her and everyone else that they came to visit Melody, but I do feel like their taking some of my time away from being with my girl.

"I have to go; Connor is waiting for me at home. Are you sure you're going to be ok? You look like you're dead on your feet."

I was dead in my heart more like it.

"I'll be fine, don't worry about me. You go back home to your family; it was nice of you to come and spend some time with her."

She nodded, but she was still looking at me. I knew that she had something else that she wanted to ask me. In her eyes, I could her contemplating whether she should or not. In the end, she decided to ask.

"How is she doing? Have you been to see her as yet?"

The one question I was avoiding, she had to be the one to ask. Everyone else skated across the topic like it was taboo. But not Harmony, she wasn't afraid that I was going to yell at her or tell her to mind her own damn business. She was so much like Melody; it was no wonder they were best friends.

"She's the same, no changes."

I glanced over at Melody, "Just like her mother."

I left out the part that I hadn't been to see her in almost four days. But, it was hard for me to visit her. I knew she was my little girl, but I couldn't help feeling like she was responsible for the love of my life lying in the hospital bed unable to wake up.

Right now, you guys must be feeling like you stepped into an alternate universe or the twilight zone. But what you guys don't know is that Melody was pregnant when she fainted in my hospital room. You'd think I'd be more careful with her after our first pregnancy scare, but whenever I was with her, it was hard to remember things like condoms.

Anyway, like I was saying before when she fainted she hit her head hard on the bedside table. So hard that it broke skin and started bleeding. At first the doctors didn't know what caused her to pass out. They blamed it on her being exhausted from her ordeal. They said that the hit to her head was no big deal and that when her body was rested, she would more likely wake up.

It was after a week had passed, and she hadn't wake up that they started to run more blood tests. At the point, I was freaking out because I couldn't leave my bed to go and see her, and they weren't telling me anything. I was so furious that I tried a lot of time to go and see her. When the doctors realised that I was going to hurt myself if it meant that I would see her, they made arrangement to have us stay in the same room.

A few days after the run the test, the results came in. I remember because I was lying in my bed holding her hand. They had tried to put her on the other side of the room from me, but they soon realised that that was going to be a problem too. So they put her bed right next to mine.

The doctor came in to check her vitals, and I could tell that he had something he wanted to say. But he wasn't sure if he should say it to me. I wasn't family after, but if they only knew that I was more her family than her parents.

"Have you figured out why she's not waking up?"

I wanted answers, and I wasn't going to let them sidestep me. She was my girlfriend, and I had a right to know.

The doctor looked a bit unsure, I guess he didn't want to tell me anything but thought better of it. The entire hospital knew that I could be a pain in the ass whenever they try to withhold information concerning the health of my girl.

"We ran a few more test; there isn't anything significantly wrong with her. We have already establish that her immune system is weak, and she has a very low blood count. However, the latest tests have shown that she is also pregnant. This in itself shouldn't hinder her chances of waking up, but now we have a more clear idea of how to treat her."

To say I was speechless would have been an understatement. Pregnant! I couldn't believe that she was pregnant. I didn't know whether I should be happy or sad. In the end I decided that I was a bit of both.

I waited and hoped that Melody would wake up, but after months went by I started to feel like I've been waiting forever. About twenty eight weeks into her pregnancy, they found out the she had something called eclampsia. A condition that is common in most pregnancy.

I was told by her doctor that they would have to get the baby out of her in order to save both their lives. They also said that the eclampsia could be the reason that she hadn't wake up. I had all this information coming at me all at once, and I wasn't sure how to deal with it.

I know you guys might hate me for saying this, but if I had to choose between the baby and her, I'd choose her. Don't get me wrong, I loved the child that she was carrying, but I loved her more.

They operated on her, performing a caesarean section to deliver the baby. I was there for the entire thing. It was the most horrible and the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen. When I saw our daughter, I fell in love for the second time in my life. I suddenly had two women in my life that I'd do anything for.

I never got to hold my baby, they rushed her away, because they couldn't get her to breathe. I was torn, I didn't know what I should do. I wanted to go with the doctor who took my little girl away, but I also wanted to stay with my girlfriend, who they doctors' said was haemorrhaging. My choice was made for me when the doctors told me that I couldn't stay with either of them.

I never prayed so heard in my life. I was on the verge of losing the love of my life and the daughter that I've never met. I must have done some serious shit in my life to be getting the cruelest of punishment.

It was a long while before, they doctors came out with any news. By that time, Harmony, Melody's parents and Max was there. I called him, I didn't forgive him for trying to come between me and my girl, but I knew that she would have wanted him there. So I had to give her that.

The doctor told us that they stopped the bleeding, but because she lost so much blood, they had her on a transfusion. They also told us that baby was ok. She couldn't breathe on her own just yet, but they were keeping an eyes on her. We were told not to get our hopes up, because there was the possibility that she wouldn't survive. I didn't know how I was supposed to handle that.

Weeks went by and Megan got better, but no so much that she could leave the hospital. Her mother on the other hand, remain the same. Although Megan was getting better, she was more or less in the same state as her mother, both on them were in a coma.

I was so pissed, because both of them refused to wake up for me. It was going on to a year and still Melody wouldn't wake up. They doctors tried to tell me that things like that happened all the time. But I knew that it was Melody's doing. She knew I wasn't going to allowed her to run from me, so choose to run the only way she knew I couldn't reach her. But I was going to show her that even that wasn't going to stop me for being with her.
