Heartthrobs and Secret Admirers (A Lippa FanFiction)

Chapter 18: The Hospital

Pippa's POV:

"Where is Steven?" Lin looks at me with a sorrow face. "You don't remember Pip?"

"Remeber what? I have no idea what you are talking about! You said I was in labor like what is going on?"

Lin leaves the room to go find a doctor, as he walks out I see tears run down his face. I don't understand why he is so upset right now when I woke him up he was so happy. Did I do something wrong? He was talking about me being in a coma because of a complication with my labor, I don't have any kids. Steven and I are waiting until we get married and we are probably going to wait for a while after that too.

After a few minutes, Lin returns with a doctor. "Hello, my name is doctor Kahn, I heard that you are experiencing some confusion now that you have woken up from your coma." Why do they think I'm confused, they are confused about whats going on. "I'm not confused. I-I just don't know what you guys are talking about, I was never pregnant. Where is my fiance, did you call him to tell him I'm awake?" Lin takes my hand and tells me to listen.

"Miss Soo it seems you are experiencing some memory loss due to the drugs you were on while you were in the coma, this is perfectly normal and may last up to a few months. It is best if you remember things on your own but there are a few that Lin and I should tell you, but first I want to know what is the last thing you remember?"I think really hard for a minute when it comes to me. "Anthony and Jasmine just got engaged so the whole cast was going to celebrate." Doctor Kahn looks over at Lin signaling it is his turn to speak. "That was a year ago." Lin says looking at doctor Kahn "Steven isn't coming Pip, it's not because he doesn't love you or anything he's gone."

Tears are building up in Lin's eyes again. I just don't understand what is going on, how is steven 'gone'. "What do you mean?"

"Steven and Vanessa died in a car accident. Steven died on impact and Vanessa died a few weeks later." My hear drops. Steven is dead, how could this happen? We were about to get married and start our lives together. How was that a year ago? It feels like we were happy together yesterday. I can't get any words out anytime I try I get cut off by my own crying.

Doctor Kahn leaves and Lin I are left crying together. Eventually, I mutter the next biggest question on my mind. "I-if all th-that happened a y-year ago- then d-do I really h-have a ba-baby?" Lin just smiles and me and nods. "She is two weeks old, Renee is bringing her here." The tears take control of me again. I have a daughter! "I-I have a d-dau-daughter? Wha-whats her name?" "She doesn't have a name. I was waiting for you to name her. They said you might not wake up but I knew you would." He grabs my hand and smiles.

"Lin, can I ask you another question?" He nods agreeing. "If Steven died a year ago who is the father of my daughter?" His eyes get huge and watery, again. "Um th- um the doctor said you should remember that on your own, I wish I could tell you but it might cause some um some confusion." he quickly glances at his phone. "Um Renee should be here any minute I'm going to go see if she is here or needs help." he practically runs out of the room.

I don't know why but Lin has been extra touchy today. Every time my baby is mentioned he starts tearing up. It was a little weird that he was sleeping in my hospital bed when I woke up too.

After a few minutes of being alone, Lin reenters the room with Renee, Sebastian, and my baby. Renee walks straight to me and places my daughter in my arms before giving me a big hug. She whispers "I'm so sorry for everything I said before. I know that it might not make sense to you yet but I still feel like I need to say it, especially considering how things turned out." She walks away before I can respond.

Lin is sitting in the chair closest to my bed and smiling at me and the baby. I guess he is feeling better. "So what are you naming her?" Lin asks. "I don't know I didn't even know I have a baby. I want her name to be meaningful so I want some time to think about it." 

Sebastian whispers in Lin's ear, he is a lot bigger than I remember. Lin nods and Sebastian runs over to me. "Mommy Pippa! Are you better now?" Mommy what?! "Um yeah, I'm better Sebby!" I mouth to Lin, 'Why did he just call me mommy?', He replies openly. "Well after the car accident you came to live with me and helped me adjust to being a single dad, and during that he started calling you 'mommy Pippa'".

I feel bad for not remembering anything, a whole year of my life just gone. I don't even know who the father of my own daughter is. What kind of a person does that make me? "Can I ask you two a question?" Renee and Lin look and me a nod, "I know you can't tell me who the father is but, do I know who they are? I mean obviously I had to know him at some point, but would I remember who he is now?" Renee and Lin smile and Renee responds, "Yes, you knew him before Jasmine and Anthony's celebration."

I sigh with relief, "Thank god I don't have to deal with not knowing who the father is? I mean like remeeting someone I already know. Has he come to visit the baby or me?". Lin changes the subject "We should probably let you remember everything else on your own, and maybe we should get going. Renee, can I ask you something outside real quick?"

Renee follows Lin to the hallway. Sebastian tries to join them but the tell him to keep me company. "He Sebby how only are you now?" he smiles wide and holds up three fingers. "I'm Three!" he seems very proud that he can show me how old he is. A few minutes later  Lin returns. 

"Hey Pip, do you mind if I stay the night here to make sure you are all good. I can help you with the baby too if you want. Renee said that she would take Sebastian home with her." I appreciate how caring Lin has been but it's kinda starting to weird me out. "Um, I mean if you really want to. You don't have anything at home that you need to do?" He just shakes his head no. "I left Hamilton almost a year ago, and haven't found anything new to do yet so I don't have anything to do. I've just been focusing on taking care of Sebastian lately." 

I just agree and let Lin stay the night in my hospital room, I just don't understand why he cares so much right now. I mean I know he is a nice guy but he is being extra helpful and emotional about everything. But why. 

"Good night Pip, I lo- really missed you!"

A/N

Hope you liked this chapter! I'm still not 100% sure what I want to name the baby, I was thinking Melody maybe. It kinda goes with Sebastian's name becuase they are both from the little mermaid.

See you in the next chapter!
