His Proposal

His Proposal - 117

When I get outside I lean against the wall and close my eyes.

Please, save them, Mom.

I look around for Nate and I don't see him anywhere.

Someone needs to look for that kid.

"Ace, have you seen Nate?"

He shakes his head. "Not since we got out here."

"Look for him," I yell. "Chloe is his own immediate living relative. If she's gone I don't think he'd want to live any longer. The Knight Siblings were close. Nate and Chloe are the only ones left from their family."

"Have you seen, Nate?" Ace asks a couple that is walking past.

"I saw a guy head towards the beach. He was covered in blood."

"That's him." I run down to the beach and I see Nate sitting on the sand. His head is in his arms. I walk over to him and sit down.

He looks at me. "I'm not going to do anything stupid, Jai. My sisters wouldn't want that. I just needed some time to myself. Please, tell me she's going to pull through."

I believe she will pull through and my baby too.

"The baby and Chloe will pull through. Mom knows what she's doing. She's been a doctor for thirty years. She retired two years ago, but she still takes training for when something arises. You never know when a life and death situation will happen within your life."

Nate hugs me. "Your Mom did the right thing by allowing those girls to stay with, Chloe. Do you know what caused whatever that was?"

I shake my head. "Mom will tell us." I rise. "Let's go back to the church. I want to be there when Mom has finished doing whatever she needs with Chloe."

Nate follows me back to the church.

The door opens and Teresa looks at Nate. "You two can come in now."

Nate and I follow Teresa into the room.

Mom is sewing Chloe up as I crouch next to her. She looks at me you. "You have a daughter." She points at Charlotte who is holding my baby.

I turn back to Chloe. "How is she Mom?"

Mom puts her things back into her medical bag. "Chloe is doing alright. It was your daughter that was in danger. Chloe had what's known as Vasa Previa. It was undiagnosed within her, but sometimes that can happen when the female's water breaks. Chloe needed a c section right away or she could have lost your daughter and I didn't want you in here while I did the c section on her. I couldn't handle the pressure you would have put me under to save them. That's why I had your friends take you outside."

The paramedics walk into the room and Mom tells them what she did. They put Chloe on a stretcher and they take her to the ambulance.

Charlotte places my daughter in my arms. "I will see you at the hospital."

"Okay," I take a seat at the side and look at my daughter. Her eyes are closed and she's slightly covered in blood. She has a small amount of hair on her head. She looks like an alien with a coned head shape.

Thanks to Mom giving Chloe a c section.

The paramedic looks over my daughter and he writes some things down on a piece of paper.

At the hospital, the doctor talks with the paramedic and they give the doctor all the information they need on Chloe and my daughter.

A nurse walks over to me. "Excuse me, Sir. I'm going to take your daughter in for tests. Do you have a name for her?"
