Heartless

Chapter 49

Julia's POV

"Well, I have some good news." the doctor stated.

"Oh thank god." I breathed.

"Both of the patients have survived and are doing okay. The bullet wound luckily didn't hit any vital organs or the baby, meaning that we could perform the surgery, but we had to perform an emergency C-section to get the baby out. Fortunately, Ivy was 8 months along meaning that the baby is premature but will be okay by themselves, however they'll both have to stay in the hospital for a while so that we can keep an eye on things." he explained.

"T-they're okay?" Blade stammered. "M-my baby's been born? Can I see them?"

"Yes, that should be okay but I'd suggest seeing her in small groups. Ivy has only just woken up and the baby is in the NICU for now."

"Thank you doctor, thank you so much!" Blade smiled in relief.

"Cyrus and I will stay here...you go and see them." Reed said.

"Thank you!" I breathed, hugging him tightly beside me.

Blade and I rushed through the corridor and into the room that Ivy was staying in.

When we walked in, I saw Ivy lying on the bed connected to different wires and machinery.

She looked weak...but she was so strong.

Blade rushed to her side and took her hand immediately.

She was awake, but not fully.

She slowly turned her head to smile at Blade as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

I could see him tearing up once more as he kissed her hand too.

"You're okay baby. I'm so happy you're okay. I don't know what I would've done without you." He whispered through his tears.

"Blade...we have a baby boy." Ivy whispered weakly.

"W-we do? It's a boy?" He smiled.

"He's beautiful." she nodded as I began to cry again.

Watching the two of them like this made me so emotional.

As I let out a small sob, I caught Ivy's attention as she smiled towards me and beckoned me to her side.

"I'm so glad you're okay Iv. I'm so sorry this happened." I cried.

"It's okay." she smiled. "You're an auntie to my baby boy Julia."

"I'm so happy for you, I can't wait to meet him." I whispered.

"His name is Jamie Reed Goodman."

"Reed?" I smiled as I wiped the tears from my cheek.

She nodded as I held her hand tightly and exchanged glances with Blade.

"Blade and I agreed that if it was a boy we'd name him after his best friend...and if it was a girl then we'd name her after mine."

"If it was a girl you were going to name her after me?"

"Yes." they said in sync.

"Oh my- I love you guys. I'm so glad you're both okay Ivy." I said as I attempted to hug her ever so carefully.

"You can go home Jules, you look like you need the rest." she said.

"Really? Are you sure that you'll be okay?" I asked.

She nodded before looking back at Blade with a wide smile on both of their faces.

"Okay, I'll come back a little later to see you then." I smiled before giving them both a hug and leaving the room.
