The mother she never knew) fighting the battle chapter eighty- nine

I finally made my way to the hospital
Abigail walks through the automatic doors of the entrance. She walked down towards the elevator after getting instructions from the front desk, she was trying gather herself before seeing her daughter. She stepped on the elevator, Abigail realize she wasn't alone on the elevator. Abigail felt her heart beating fast, she took a few cleansing breaths
Abigail was trying to figure out what she was going to say to Lena, for not being around lately. The doors open up, she walked out the elevator, and headed down the hall. Abigail saw nurses, doctors coming in and out of patients rooms. She wasn't paying attention to the woman she accidentally bumped into, l am so sorry. Abigail said. Your fine the young woman reassured her, is this your first time to the cancer unit
The woman inquires. Abigail felt a knot forming in her throat, yes it is
Abigail responds. A lot of visitors who come here, feel the same way when visiting their love ones or friends. It takes some adjusting to get use to at first. By the way my name is Jessica
She says, it's a pleasure to meet you Jessica. I'm Abigail, they shake hands
I have to finish making my rounds
Jessica spoke. Thank you for the pep talk, the older woman told the nurse
Abigail went on her way, she was standing outside of Lena's room door
Abigail knock on the door before entering. Come in unfamiliar voice responds, Abigail pushed the door and went in. She saw Stef sitting beside Lena's bed, Hi Stefanie how she. Abigail asks, she's had a long day
You just missed Nathaniel. He was up earlier, l'm gonna go get some fresh air. If Lena wakes up let her know
I'll be back, Stef kissed on the forehead. Stef stood up, you don't have to go on the count of me Abigail tells her daughter in law. I think I owe you a huge apology for the way l treated you before, Lena's lucky to have someone like you in her life
I see how much you love my daughter
Everything said to me over the phone
I think l needed to hear that. Maybe we can start over and forget about what happened in the past, l realize
I miss judge you before getting to know you Abigail said. Stef's taken back by Abigail's attitude, l like that
Stef replies. Can I hug you  Abigail asked me, Stef wasn't sure what her mother in law had up her sleeve
Stef walked forward towards Abigail and hugged Abigail. Lena heard what her mother told her wife, Lena was shocked about her mom's sudden change of demeanor. Stef leaves the room to give Abigail and Lena some privacy, Abigail took a seat where
Stef was just sitting here. Abigail took
Lena's hands in hers, sweetheart l don't know if you can hear me
I need to apologize for not being here when you needed me, l felt bad for the way l've treated you all those years ago. I never meant to put so much pressure on you growing up
I felt like it was my fault for pushing you away, l know things haven't been right between us in some time.
I know l hurt your feelings when I told you I sacrificed a lot for you
My life change the day you enter in my life. I know l'm little overbearing at times, l always wanted the best for you. But l went about the wrong way
It was never my intention to make you feel, l miss our outings when we use to go for lunch on Fridays. And the trips to the spa on weekends.
Please let me be the mother you need now, Abigail replied. Lena turned over and looked her mother in the eyes. to see if she was truly sincere
Mommy l heard everything said to me  But you left me when I needed you
What kind of mother does that to their child, Daddy was here and so was Stef. You didn't call or text to check on me, that really hurt me
Then you had the nerve to say that you sacrifice a lot for me, if that's how you felt why did you adopt me than
to impress your rich friends or did you feel sorry for me huh what was it? Lena says coldly. I loved you
And l knew you deserve a family
Abigail explains, l'm sorry I can't just forgive and forget right now Lena states. Abigail knew it was going to be harder than she anticipated, she doesn't blame Lena for expressing how she feels. She knows that she's damaged her relationship with Lena
Abigail got up from the chair, Lena l want to know that I love you and l'll be there whenever you need me. Being your mom has been one of my greatest joys, Abigail leaves Lena's room. Stef renters the room she went over to Lena and saw her crying, Stef kicks off her shoes and climbs in the bed with her wife. And comforts Lena
Lena cries in Stef's hands, Stef knew
Lena's been holding all the pain locked up inside. It's ok baby l'm here
Stef whispers in Lena's ear as she rubs
Lena's back. I know how much Abigail hurt you babe please calm down and take some deep breaths
Before you make yourself sick, Stef says to Lena.
