The Last Summer(Wattys 2021)

"Can you walk?" I asked her. She nodded her head and tried to walk but she almost fell to the floor. I picked her up in my arms and took her to the ward.

I was pacing back and forth in the hall. God, I hope she's ok. Everything is finally falling into place. I can't loose her, I can't loose My Harvey.

The door open and the doctor came out.

"So how's she? What's wrong with her?"

"Are you her husband?"

"Yes"

"Well Congratulations sir"

"Congratulations for what?"

"Your wife is about two weeks pregnant" He said

What? Harvey is pregnant? Are we really having a baby?

"Wait really? Am I really going to be a daddy?" I asked him

"Yes, you may go in to see her. However, tell her to stay away from fizzy foods and exercise. She hit her belly hard but luckily the foetus hasn't really formed so it didn't harm your child" He left.

My mom was talking to her when I came in.

"I should probably go pack up my things since you guys will be leaving soon" My mom went out of the ward

"What's up?" I don't really know what to say to her

"Really? We're having a baby and that's all you can say?"

"I don't know what to say because I'm on Cloud nine. I love you so much baby" I pecked her multiple times.

I helped her walk to the car and sit down before I took my mom's luggage to the car.

"Sir, I'm sorry but you can't leave. It's going to rain soon and the road is not very safe when it rains" A security guard walked up to me and said

"Son, we can stay the night and leave tomorrow. There are a lot of vacant rooms" My mom said

"Dean, let's do that" Harvey said.

I carried her up to the room that was given to us and tucked her into the bed. I went to my mom's room to see her but I was told that she was in the lounge.

This place is actually really cool for old people. They were pool tables and ice hockey tables, some arcade games and a big TV.

I saw my mom on one of the chairs in the corner. I went to meet her.

"I still can't believe you're alive, I thought I'd never see you again"

"Me too Son, Everyday, I wondered what you were doing and how you've grown up so we'll. The only time I get to hear news about you is when the papers come in. They come only once in a blue moon, so you can imagine how miserable I was. When I heard you were sick, my heart shattered. I was happy because I knew you had your brothers but then I found out they also left you. How are they?"

"I'm mending things up with Luke but I'm not so sure about Liam. The thing is, he's also in love with Harvey, my fiance but  she chose me" I said

"Wow, that's kind of messy. She's really beautiful though so it's no surprise that my babies are head over heels for her. She's pregnant right?" She asked

"Yes"

"Yesterday, I was still worried that I'd pass away and I'd not get to see my son but today, I met him and his beautiful fiance and found out that I'm going to be a grandmother" She smiled

"Luke's Fiancee, Harvey's cousin, is also pregnant"

"Wow, my boys are now men. They are going to be fathers. Well done my child" She hugged me

"Mom, you should come to bed" I told her

"No,no, go on my child, I have to watch the season finale of Deli Darlings"

"Ok but make sure you go quickly"

I went back to the room and heard someone gagging. I went to the bathroom and saw Harvey bent over the toilet pouring out her intestine. I gently stroked her back and held her hair.

I took her to the sink and helped her clean up her mouth then I took her back to the bed.

"Do you want anything?"

"Yes"

"What?"

"For you to come lay beside me and hold me very tightly" She patted the bed.

I took off my sneakers and every other thing I had on. I was left in my briefs. I hopped into the bed and drew her close to my chest.

My body started reacting to her touch. She really drives me insane.

"So how did you find my mom?"

"Let's just say I know someone who can track down even someone that is dead" I smiled at her.

"What do you think we are going to have?" She asked me

"I would love twins, I will really like to have a mini you and I running around in saggy diapers" She laughed

"Well, if it's a boy let's name him Hunter"

"That's my father's name"

"I know, that's why I chose it"

"What was your father's name?" I asked her

"Dylan" She said

"Good, then we'll name our daughter Dylan"

I slowly drifted off to sleep with the woman I love the most in my arms.
