Finn's Baby- Complete

18

Finn pov

I sat in a chair next to my daughters hospital bed. Her tiny hand in mine as I kissed her cheek. Her hair was stuck to her head by the constant sweat and her face pale as snow. We had been at the hospital for a few hours and it was half 6 in the morning. I was yet to sleep a wink over pure worry

The nurse walked into the room and felt Lydia's forehead

"Still got a temperature but other than that, you are good to go" I was shocked

"Good to go? She's not good to go. Less than an hour ago she vomited blood. She screams in pain when someone touches her stomach. She doesn't sound good to go" I whisper screamed at the woman not wanting to wake lyd up

"I'm sorry sir but we are very busy. Almost Christmas n' all. We will give her some medicine for you to take home. And just give her plenty of rest" the nurse said walking away. Before she left the room I grabbed her hair and pushed her against the wall

"Now you listen to me. I don't care how busy you are. If Lydia shelby is ill then she gets the best care. Do you understand?" The woman couldn't speak from fear so simply nodded her head frantically. I let her go and she immediately ran from the room leaving me to go back to the chair and hold my baby's hand. I hadn't told anyone in the family what had happened. I decided that when it was a respectable hour, I would let them know. But it was useless to wake them up and let them worry when they could be sleeping

Lydia was asleep at half 9 when I decided to call my family. There was a family meeting at 9 so everyone would be at the garrison. I called the pub and someone picked up but immediately hung up. Probably Tommy not wanting the meeting to be interrupted. I called 3 more times before someone finally spoke

T: what?
F: it's finn
T: where the fuck are ya?
F: at the hospital. Lyd is really ill. She's been vomiting blood and got a temperature of 101. Her stomach hurts to the point where she is screaming in pain. I called an ambulance at 3am and we've been un the hospital since.
T: shit. Well is she any better?
F: She isn't in as much pain because they've given her pain killers. But she is still vomiting blood and her temperature won't go down
T: right. Send her my love. We'll come to the hospital as soon as we can. She'll be alright mate. She's a shelby. Tough as nails
F: ye. I hope you're right

After the phone call with finn everyone had their eyes on me waiting for me to explain. I turned to my family who 5 seconds ago had been screaming bloody murder at one another

"Lydia's in hospital. Finn had call an ambulance at 3 last night"

"Well what's wrong with her?" John asked

"He said she was screaming because her stomach hurt. Temperature of 101 and..."

"And what Thomas?" Aunt pol asked

"She's been vomiting blood" I finished. Polly gasped and Arthur kicked a chair

"Is she any better since she's been in hospital?" Michael asked

"Not much. I said we'd go down there when we can" I told everyone grabbing my coat and putting it on. Everyone followed and we got in our cars and drove to the hospital almost knocking over a few people

We rushed in an went to the room the nurse had told me. In there was finn holding a very pale Lydia's hand. She was asleep but finn looked knackered

"Hey" I whispered making finn look up. We quietly walked in not wanting to wake Lydia

"Oh poor girl" polly said sitting next to her. We all grabbed a chair and sat around the bed

"Why didn't ya call us?" John asked hugging finn

"I didn't think it was worth it. You wouldn't be able do anything and would only worry. So I let ya sleep" he told us

"Look at her. Poor thing. What have the doctors said?" Arthur asked

"Tried send her home. Then i reminded them who she was and they quickly agreed that she stay" finn grumbled under his breath. We saw Lydia stur and flutter her eyes open. Finn immediately moved closer and kissed her forehead

"Hi darling. How are you feeling?" Polly asked. Lyd didn't reply and finn quickly grabbed the bowl at the side of the bed. She was sick in the bowl and then started to cry. Finn put the bowl on the side and hugged her

"I wanna go home" she cried. I moved my head to look at the bowl. Blood. Pure dark red blood

"I know my love. But we've gotta get you better" finn told her trying not to cry infront of her or probably us
"I don't care" she yelled as she sobbed. Finn sat next to her in bed and she wrapped her arms around his waist. She cried herself to sleep and finn stayed by her side

"Finn, go home and rest. We'll watch her" John told him. He looked knackered

"No. She's my daughter" he said

"But-"

"Would you go home if it was one of your kids?" He asked looking at me and John

"No. I suppose you're right. Just try and sleep for us ye?" John asked getting up ready to leave. Finn nodded his head. We quietly left the hospital and made our way to the cars

"She's worse than I thought" I muttered

"She's an heir to the throne ain't she. Can't we get a top doctor?" Arthur asked

"Maybe if her grandparents were still alive. But their money and estate has gone to Rosa since they never left a will. She is in control of paying for the best doctor and I highly doubt she will" I explained

"But we have money. Why don't we pay?" John asked

"This is a royal doctor we're on about. Doesn't matter how much money we've got. They won't see Lydia unless it's her who pays the money. Which she can't because all the money went to her mother" i told them as I started the car

"I just pray she's better soon. Breaks my heart" polly said quietly looking out of the window at the hospital as we drive past
