Shy Lover |Book 1

Broke: Chapter 70

Luke's POV:

"Fuck!"

I throw the phone almost hitting a guard with it.

"Luke we are gonna find him" Eric says

"How the hell can we find him if we lost his location!" I shout.

I sit in my chair holding my head in my hands.

"My fiancé is at home calling me everyday asking when am I coming home. It would hurt to tell her that I might be coming in the next month or so. But I can't do that because im gonna miss the birth of my children and she can't do it on her own"

Ana's POV: (36 weeks pregnant)

"Hey Ana can you pass Claire's baby food in the fridge"

I put down the spatula and go over to the fridge. I take out the banana baby food and close the fridge door after I was done.

I went over to the dishes and I took out Claire's spoon.

I gave Gia the spoon and the baby food before going back to the bacon.

I flip the bacon and it makes a sizzling sound.

"It's early you know, you can call Luke" Gia says giving Claire a spoon of her food.

"Yeah I'll get to that soo-

My sentence was cut off by the knock on the front door. Goa Ms I looked at each other as if asking if we knew who it was.

I shrugged my shoulder.

She hesitantly got up from the chair she was in and I turned off the stove.

She made her way to the door and I stayed close to Claire.

I hear the door open and I hear Avana's voice. I sigh of relief.

I hear the door close and the sound of steps making there way to my direction.

Avana first came in view with a mouthing Gia behind her. I don't know what she's saying.

I put on a smile as Avana approaches me.

"Hey" she sings

I raise my eyebrows. "Hi"

Gia reaches over and picks up Claire. "I'm gonna- give you guys some time to-

She flashes her hand between us. "Figure this out" she finishes before leaving.

I sit on one of the stool and she sits at a nearby one but a little far from me.

"I know after you came back we umm we haven't talked, like really talked and I'm so sorry Ana, I really am"

"I've been back for a year and a few months now and your telling me through the whole year I've been back you void t have at least tried to have a conversation. A conversation like something we would have before I found out we were sisters? You know after I came back you could have just hugged me and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now" I say tilting my head to the side.

"I know that. I-

She held her head down. "I didn't know what your reaction would me after you came back and later on I just couldn't really find the confidence in talking to you"

She starts fiddling with her fingers.

I sigh. Should I forgive her? I don't know what to do.

She's your sister for Gods sake.

What the hell was that?

"Ow"

I look down and a puddle of water was below me.

Avana gasps. "Oh my gosh. Did your water just brake?"

My hands started shaking as I stood from the stool. "Umm-umm call Gia and- uuh-

Why can't I say a good sentence!?

"Tell her to call Luke. Now!"

She runs off to upstairs and I hear panting as Black comes in view.

He whines as he sees me. "Don't worry buddy, I'm okay" I tell him.

He whines once more and sits.

Gia comes running towards me with my hospital bag. "Where's Avana?" I ask

"She packing Claire's bag to come to the hospital and umm Likes not answering the phone" she says the last part shaking her head.

"Shit!"

Seriously Luke. Now is the time you choose to not answer your phone.

I can't do this without him. I'm not doing this without him. I can't.

I sit back on the stool holding my head. "Can you pass my phone please it's over at the stove" I tell Gia

She walks over into the kitchen and picks up my phone bringing it to me.

I search for Kara's number- my midwife and press call.

She answers at the third ring and I place the phone at my ear.

"Hey Kara so my water just broke and Luke is half way across the world and I'm gonna die " I say

She chuckles. "Your not gonna die and do you have anyone with you or anyone close by that can help you get to the hospital?" She asks

"Yeah my sister and bestfriend are with me right now" I say

She hums. "Okay get here now I'll meet you at the entrance" she says

"Okay" I say before hanging up the phone.

As I place the phone on the counter Avana comes done the stairs with Claire in her left hand and a bag in her right hand. "I'm ready" she says

"We have to leave now" I tell them.

After they got me in the car Avana sped off to the hospital.

We tried calling Luke again but he wouldn't answer the damn phone.

We reach the hospital and I see Kara coming up to the car with a wheelchair.

They put me in the wheelchair. "Gia call Luke again. Please" I say

She nods before picking up her phone. Kara starts pushing the wheelchair making us go through the hospital door.

When we reach my assigned room they told me to put on the gown they gave me then they told me to get in bed and just wait.

So your just gonna wait for the pain to happen?

Exactly.

I sigh. Gia and Avana walks in with Claire in Gia's hand with concern written all over their faces.

"Guys I'm okay" I say. "Well for now anyways"

Gia comes at my bedside. "He has not been answering any of our calls" she says

What if while he's doing his Mafia shit someone killed him.

Why do I think of such thoughts?

But what if.

•••••

I wonder.....

If Luke's okay.

Is he gonna be there?

What about Eric?
