Arianna my mother-in-law asks.Doctor Michael Sabastian looks at me before looking at everyone around us.I force myself to stand up and make my way over to him."How is my wife?" I ask because he wasn’t answering my mother-in-law.He nods. “She did good through surgery, we matched to remove the bullet, and stop the bleeding. The bullet nicked an artery, we were able to close up the artery. She’s currently sleeping she’ll be awake in a couple of hours once the drugs wear off.” He explains.I look away from him. “And the baby?” I ask."I’m sorry, there was nothing I could have done. By the time she got here the fetus was gone already..." he looks at me apologetically.I close eyes and nod. I walk away and sit down on of the chairs. “Please don’t Ama

Chapter 23 Damien PriestPOVAfter my talk with Rowan, I went back into the clinic. I told the rest of the family to go home and get some rest so they can come back in the morning.Rowan refused to leave and stayed with me. He didn’t want to leave me alone here.I think we should upgrade these chairs, they’re so damn uncomfortable. I’ve never sat on a more uncomfortable chair in my life and my father made Rowan and I sleep on the floor as kids. I fucking hated camping. What’s fun about being stuck in the damn woods with no cell service and which nothing but men who would do nothing more than be doing anything else but be stuck with one another."So, mom said she spoke to you?" Rowan asks.I look at my brother. Yes, my mother spoke to me. She tried to comfort me. But our pain wasn’t exactly the same now, was it?"She did.

I return a strained smile.“How are you feeling?” I ask her.She shrugs her shoulders. Before hissing. “It’s not the first time I’ve been shot. It still hurt like a bitch though…”I walk up to my wife. I push her bangs out of the way and kiss her forehead. “I’m glad you’re okay Amara. But don’t ever do that again…” I scold her.She shakes her head. “I wasn’t going to let you sacrifice your life for me…” she blushes… “Ca-can you forget what I said in there? I thought I was dying I. it’s so embarrassing.” She looks away shyly.Honestly, I didn’t know there’s a shy side to her. I smile before my face turns serious… “Amara, there’s nothing I must tell you…”"Oh okay. What’s up?" she asks weakly."I know this is all my fault. If I had been firmer, you wouldn’t be in this situation.
