Denial - A Nathan Sykes Fanfiction - AU - COMPLETED {IN EDITING}

Chapter 35

I was sat in the chair beside Luke's bed. I was watching him while he slept and gripped onto my finger.

"Hey." I hear Nathan say as I turn to him. He was holding a bunch of white roses and some chocolate.
"Hey." I smiled at him as he entered the room and gave the roses to a nurse.
"How's he doing?" Nathan asks as I sigh.
"Not good. He's not getting any better." I reply as Nathan sits beside me.
"He will. He'll be out of here and in his crib in no time." Nathan says as I smile.
"I hope so." I say, turning back to Luke and watching him again.
"How are you doing?" Nathan asks.
"I'm good. My stitches are sore but they're coming out in a week." I reply as Nathan nods and smiles.
"Good." He replies.

The conversation does as I just sit and watch my little boy struggle. It's so hard to sit here and not be able to hold him or help him.

"When can we hold him?" Nathan asks.
"The doctor said that we can hold him when he's bigger. It's so hard, Nath. I can't even cradle my son." I say as Nathan's arms wrap around me.
"It's okay. It's gonna be okay." Nathan says as Luke let's go of my finger.

Nathan picks me up and places me back on the hospital bed.

"I'll watch him. You need to sleep." Nathan says as I nod and kiss him softly.
"I love you." I say as Nathan smiles and kisses me again.
"I love you too." He says as I get comfortable and eventually fall asleep...

I wake up to doctors and nurses rushing in and out of the room. Nathan was in tears.

"N-Nath?" I stutter as he turns to me.
"Luke. He... he stopped breathing." Nathan says as I lay there, unable to move or speak, "Eva?" Nathan asks.

I stay laid there. I couldn't move, speak, I couldn't even cry.

"Eva?" I hear Nathan ask again as he helps me sit up.

He pulls me into a hug and that's when I start to sob. All my emotions come out as soon as Nathan hugs me.

"Where is he?" I sob into Nathan's shoulder.
"ICU." Nathan says as I sob more.
"Not my baby." I sob, "Please, Nathan. Tell me he's okay." I sob as Nathan rubs my back.
"I don't know yet." Nathan whispers, still holding me close.

Nathan climbs onto the hospital bed with me and holds me close.

"I'm sure he'll be okay."
