Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 170

~CLARA~

“What?... But… but you said my due date was in three weeks time?” I managed to ask as panic settled down within me. I hadn't mentally prepared myself to have the babies today.

“Well they're more eager to come out than I initially thought. We need to go into immediate surgery!” The doctor announced and I shook my head slightly before letting out another scream as the pain shot right through my stomach.

“Ahhh!” I screamed loudly and could barely hear Damon's mother's voice as she tried her best to calm me down while she cried as well.

“The witches are on their way, you have to hold on till then, Clara” Luca uttered as he walked towards the bed and grabbed my hand.

“I can't do this without Damon, he has to be by my side. I can't…”

“Calm down Clara, it's going to be okay. Don't panic. We are here and we'll help you through this” Luca tried to comfort me but I didn't need anyone else but Damon. He was the only one that could calm me down.

“We need to transfer her to the delivery room immediately” The doctor uttered with panic laced in his voice just as I let out another scream. Before I knew it, I was being lifted up from the bed and onto the stretcher.

“Damon!” I yelled out as they rolled me towards the delivery room. Please goddess, I needed Damon more than ever now. I didn't think I could do this without him.

“She’s bleeding” I heard Delilah faintly yell while Luca cursed loudly.

“Prepare for surgery” The Doctor yelled as they pushed me inside a room and slowly placed me on the bed.

“Please get me Damon, I need Damon” I cried out loudly as I trashed around on the bed.

“You have to stay still madam” The doctor uttered but the pain just kept getting worse.

“Why can't you inject her with anesthesia or something?” Luca questioned.

“Because I'm afraid she won't wake up after that. This is going to be painful Mrs Donovan but you have to bear it for your children's sake” The doctor uttered as they chained me to the bed to stop me from moving.

“I’ll go call the witches again” Luca uttered before running out of the room.

“Ahhh!” I screamed again as the pain slowly crawled up my body, towards my brain. It felt like my stomach was being sliced with a knife.

I needed Damon, without him I couldn't do this. I needed him by my side.

“Damon!”

~DAMON~

Something was wrong. I could feel that something was wrong with Clara but I had no idea how to get out of the dark space I was in. I glanced around and was met with total darkness. Was I dead? Had I gone to hell?

“Damon!” My heart leaped in my throat as soon as I heard Clara's voice but when I glanced around, there was no sign of her, not even her presence. Where was her voice coming from then? Why did it sound like she was in pain?

Was Sebastian hurting her? I thought I had killed him?

“Let me out of here!” I screamed as I walked further into the darkness. I needed to get to Clara, she needed me.

“Let me out! I need to get to my wife! Please let me out!” I screamed but was met with the echo of my voice.

“Damon!” I let out a groan as I heard her voice again. I ran my fingers through my hair out of frustration as I glanced around. I needed to get to her, she fucking needed me.

“You need to wake up!” A voice suddenly said out of nowhere. I couldn't even recognize who's voice it was.

“Open your eyes and wake up, Damon!” The voice yelled out again, this time more urgently.

“Your wife needs you, wake up!” I let out a gasp as I immediately jolted awake with my eyes wide open.

The loud beeping of the sound beside me was the first thing I heard before I heard Clara scream my name again and this time, it was clearer.

“Clara” I managed to murmur and tried moving my body when I noticed I was covered in stitches.

I immediately reached down and tore the bandage on my hand and ripped out the syringe before tearing off the bandage on my legs. My whole body ached and I felt like I was going to die at any minute but Clara needed me and getting to her was all that matters.

I pushed my leg off the bed and tried standing on my two feet but my leg immediately gave out and I fell to the ground with a groan. Fuck, I couldn't walk!

“Damon please!” Clara screamed again and this time, with more pain and urgency.

Since my leg didn't work, I decided to crawl my way to her. It wasn't easy but I didn't care. The more I moved, the more harsh my breathing got. I began to feel dizzy and I knew it wouldn't take long before I passed out but I needed to get to her first.

“Mr Donovan! You shouldn't be out of your room” Someone yelled behind me but I didn't dare stop. Then someone grabbed me and tried pulling me back into the room but I pushed them away and fell down to the ground.

“I need to get to my wife! If you dare stop me, I'll kill you!” I screamed in their faces before turning away as I crawled as fast as i couldn't towards Clara's voice with the nurses trailing behind me.
