I'll Make You See It Was All Real-Sequel to When Does the Pretend End?

Chapter 26- Adorable Sometimes

  Cris' Pov

I stare at Lucy in the bed. My mind doesn't even want to think what will happen if she lost the baby. She blames herself for almost everything. It wouldn't be her fault if the worst happens. I know she wanted the baby.

"Cris" she starts to mumble. She said my name I smile so happy to hear her speak. "Hey I'm here. It's ok" I say. "Ssh careful the doctor said your head will hurt" I say as she gets used to been awake. "Cris" she says opening her eyes. "Hey sleepy head" I say as she looks at me with a groggy look on her face. I've missed seeing that look in the mornings.

"What happened?" she asks. "You fainted at work and hit your head. But the doctor said all your head scans came back clean so you just have to take it easy for a few days" I say. "Why are you here?" she asks and my heart sinks. She doesn't want me here. She really wants nothing to do with me even with the baby.

"Where else would I be?" I eventually say wondering if I should go when Elena comes back. "I meant you should be at training" she mumbles. Does that mean she wants me here? "It's almost 9 at night Lucy. You've been out cold since lunch time" I say. "Oh" she says and closes her eyes. "The baby" she says suddenly lifting her head suddenly before a look of pain shows on her face. "Hey I told you to be careful" I say quickly leaving the chair I had been sitting to sit on the edge of her bed" I say.

"Is the baby ok? Please tell me the baby is ok?" she asks. "No" she starts to cry. "Lucy ssh it's ok. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm just trying to figure out what to say" I say wiping a tear from her cheek. "Cris" she says. "They don't know how the baby is yet. They were waiting for you to wake up to do a scan" I say. "But" she asks. "Cris please tell me" she begs. "Your doctor couldn't give a definite answer that the baby is ok" I say. "No please no. I can't lose the baby" she cries and I notice her hand moving to her stomach.

She was growing my child.

"It will be ok. Look at me. No matter what happens Lucy, we will get through it together" I say. "I need to know. I want the scan now" she says trying to sit up in the bed again. "Lucy will you lay down. I'll go find someone ok. Just rest please. Your body needs time to refuel" I say nodding to the IV in her arm.

"Why do I have this?" she asks. "You were dehydrated. You haven't been eating and drink enough" I say. "I haven't been able to keep any food down or stop been sick. Oh God what if it's my fault" she says. Just like I thought I think. "Hey stop thinking bad thoughts. It's not your fault. I'll be back in a minute" I say placing a kiss on her forehead and she calls my name when I reach the door. "Don't think what bad things can happen Lucy" I say. "I'm glad you are here" she says. And she means it I think. "Rest. I'll be back soon" I say only leaving her alone because we both needed to know about the baby.

I eventually meet a lovely nurse who says she'll ask if Lucy can have a scan tonight. I send a text to Nuno and a few of my teammates to tell them Lucy was awake and would be ok before heading back into Lucy's room where Elena was talking to her. We talk about Lucy not realising she was pregnant and how bad her sickness had been. Hopefully she won't be as sick for the rest of the pregnancy.

Lucy goes all quiet and I know why. "Stop thinking" I mutter. "It's what I do" she says sticking out her tongue at me. I laugh at the sight of her looking better. "Ye two are adorable sometimes" Elena laughs and I don't miss the look Lucy gives her friend. "Ok I think I'll leave you get some rest. Genius over there will take care of you" Elena says standing. "Thanks Elena. I'm sorry I worried you" Lucy says. "It's ok. I got out of lunch with a sleazy of a client. I won't have to listen to Jack ask question about him now" Elena says. "Who knew Jack was the jealous type?" Lucy smiles. "It's a good think he's jealous at times. Shows he cares. Who knows he might even get into a fight over me? What kind of guy does that Cris?" she grins at me.
