Samantha's POV:

"Hmm..."

"Sam?"

"Hmm?" I slowly opened my eyes when I recognized my best friend's voice, but she's not the first I saw but my husband who's wearing a serious expression

"Thank God, you're awake! Wait, I'm just going to call your doctor!" I turned to Jack who has the opposite expression of him.

And it's too late to ask her what happened as she got up immediately and ran to the door. Now I was left alone with Luke who's still staring at me. But the moment I opened my lips to ask him, he beat me with the same question I was going to ask.

"What happened?" My mouth hung not knowing what to say or what to answer him. I didn't even understand what he meant.

"What do you mean what happened? I should ask you that---oh, my God! What happened to my baby?" My eyes widened as I started to feel panic and was about to get up but he instantly held my shoulders. "Where is my baby? What happened to her?" Tears blurring my vision.

It was only then that I remembered what happened this morning and the pain I felt in the car. And my tears fell as my hands automatically raised over my belly.

"She's fine!" The only words he uttered and suddenly a sigh of relief washed over me. I closed my eyes as light sobs continued to escape from my lips. I don't even know what to do if there's something happened to her.

"You should have been careful!"

My eyes snapped open upon hearing what he had said. I looked at him confused.

"You know you're pregnant, you should have been careful of what you do! You're not in this situation if you didn't go out and stay home in those three days!"

I blinked repeatedly. My blood started to rise in my head due to anger. "Huh! Come again, what did you say?" I wiped my tears harshly and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"You should have stayed at home! I told you, Samantha, if something bad happened to my child---"

"Fucking stop right there, Luke Marcus!" I couldn't help but yelled, raising my palm in front of him as a sign of stopping. "Don't you ever blame me for this situation, because if you were just a responsible father and a partner, I wouldn't be here lying in bed and almost lose my baby! Have you forgotten your immorality of fucking different woman in your room? I left and stayed in Jack's apartment for me to have a good sleep at least for those three nights without hearing your loud groans while fucking your mistresses!"

I finished my speech with a loud sob. I didn't hear anything from him but I noticed how he formed his fists into a hardball. I don't know what I did to experience this pain because the only thing I've done wrong was to love him.

I immediately dried my tears when I noticed the door opened and pretended as if there was no conversation happened between me and my husband. Jack and my OBgyne entered the door with both of them having a wide smile between their lips.

"Hi, Sam, how are you?" My doctor greeted me and I returned her smile. Jack stood next to her. "How are you feeling now? Are you dizzy or---"

"I'm fine now, Doctor Mary. Uhm, I just want to know what happened why I suddenly bleed?"

She smiled at me while getting my temperature and then my blood pressure. She started explaining to me what had really happened, but since my attention was half for her and for Luke who's also listening to her as she spoke, it was only her last line that seemed to register in my head.

"You should take rest for a week, eat nutritious food but don't forget to maintain your diet and drink all the vitamins that I will give you."

I nodded and smiled at her.

"And before I forget, please avoid those things or people, if ever, that caused or causes you stress." I simply glanced at Luke who kept a serious expression. "I already told you that during our last meeting and I will repeat it again, your baby also feels your emotions. If your happy, sad or stressed, she also feels it, do you understand?" She asked, adjusting her glasses.

"Yes, doctor Mary, thank you." I forced a smile and nodded at her at the same time. Out of the corner of my eye, I didn't miss the smirk that curled on Jack's lips.

"Oh, are you Mr. Williams?" Jack and I turned to look at Luke when my doctor asked him.
