The Surrogate Proposal

Twenty one

"Where's my baby?", Gina asked when she has fully recovered, Cate slowly carried the baby from the cradle and placed him on her hands.

His eyes were shot, Gina touched his face and then his hand, "he's so cute", she said as tears rolled down her eyes.

He's finally here
I actually gave birth
He's so beautiful
Is it over?
Will I really have to leave this angel?

"Oh boy", Lucy said with a sigh,
"Let her be, I know that feeling",
Cate said.
They watched them for awhile, "what about Montserrat?", She asked Lucy,
"Sadly she lost her baby but she's fine now",
"Oh, that's so bad, what about her?",
"Heard she survived the fall",
"Enough, here, give me the baby and rest", Cate said and took the baby from her.
"What about Seth?",
"He was here, he left before you woke up",
Gina just nodded.
"Has he seen the baby?", She asked, scared,
"Yes", Cate answered, guessing her fear, she just smiled.

Her eyes were heavy so she decided to close them for awhile.

Gina heard people speaking, she couldn't make out what they were saying, she tried but she fell asleep again.

When she woke up, she saw someone looking at her, but couldn't make out who, she turned over to the other side and she remembered she had a dream about the baby, her mum was carrying him and Seth was beside her and they were holding hands, she smiled.
But...
Where's the cradle?

She turned again and saw someone that looked like her sister. She looked around her and she's still in the hospital.
She felt a touch,
"Gina are you okay?",

Omg!
It's her!

She pushed Steph's hand and stared at her

Am I still dreaming?

"Hey Gina can you hear me, are you okay, should I call the doctor?",

Omg! Omg! This is real!
What is hap-
How did-

"Is she awake?", Nicki asked as she walked into the room,
"Oh dear, how are you feeling?",
"She won't talk to me", Steph said.

"Gina? Should I call the doctor?",
"What are you doing here, how-how?", Gina asked still in shock,
"Oh, you need to get better first", Nicki said,
"What, get better? Nicki you told her?",
"Oh", Steph said,
"Well, she asked, I was worried, she found out on her own",
"What?!",
"Hey, you need to calm down, okay?",
"Where's my baby?",
"Uhh, Gina, listen, you need to relax and get better first",
"Get better?! What the f*ck are you saying? I need my baby now!",
"Gina...",
"They've taken the baby, your contract is done and you'll be paid fully once you're healed", Steph spat out,
"The f*ck", Nicki said,
"Why hold it?",
"Wait, what? How..how many days have I been here?",
"A week",
"Oh my God, I dont-I don't get this", Gina said pulling out the drip from her hands,
"What are you doing?", Nicki asked, Gina ignored her and headed for the door, she felt her head spinning, like blood is rushing to her head, then her weak legs and the sick smell of hospital, then she slumped on the floor.

Gina sat by the hotel window, watching the busy street of New York.

She kept thinking. She wiped the tears crawling down her cheeks.

So
She was discarded just like that....
Seth discarded me like that...
So this is all over?
I thought..
