new arrival

recovery

John came bursting into the relatives room with Cynthia followed close behind him and she was holding a tired Holly in her arms

" have you heard any news" John asked his eyes huge like saucers and his skin was pale and he was shaken

" no she is still in theatre"

" why was she at your house Paul I don't understand she was supposed to come straight home" Cynthia added her voice trembling and her eyes full of unshed tears

" she came to speak to me because she missed me "

" I know she has missed you terribly and im surprised she went to you as you all know how stubborn she is "

" so how did she end up being In your house to being under a car" John shouted

" she was upset and she ran out and I heard a loud crash and I ran out and that's when I saw her"

" why was she upset"

" because she found out that me and Linda got married"

" you's are married and you did not tell her you knew that would upset her Paul" Cyn said

" it was just a small wedding hardly anyone was there I just did not want all the fuss"

" so india is just fuss now is she its not that long ago you were parading her around London like she was your own kid and now she does not even get an invite to your wedding"

" John it is not like that we did not want more press around than needs be and Johns first born being there would bring more press and we did not want that"

" daddy" a little voice piped up defusing the argument that was ready to irrupt

" yes Hollie love"

" is India going to heaven"

John felt the air being knocked out of his lungs and it took every bit of strength not to cry out in pain hearing his little daughter asking that brought it home to him that his beloved daughter could die in the same way his mother did

" I hope not sweetie but all the nice doctors are working hard to make her all better" John said sweetly scooping her up into his arms and kissed her head and he held her until she fell asleep

They were all waiting in the relatives room for around 3 hours when a doctor finally entered the room and everyone shot to their feet

" how is she doctor?" John asked

" she is one lucky girl as she died on the operating table but we were able to revive her she has swelling in her brain from the impact of the crash but we were able to release the pressure and she has a broken hip bone and she will be in plaster until the bone knits together again and she will need to use a wheelchair until it does and she has a lot of bruises and grazes but apart from that she is remarkably fine."
