Kate:
Rachel was gone even mother was gone to ... it was my father who has met his old business representative n stopped for a long chat ... now he was in emma room saying goodbye
I said ' Daddy do you want to have a cup of coffee '
He looked uncomfortable n said ' no I think I shall go now ... say bye to Alex from my side'
I just nodded n picked up his coat n give it to him... then all of a sudden Martha came with worried expression n said ' kate... oh god kate... Aria is burning n she is so dizzy ... we have to take her to the doctor'
When martha said Aria I didn't stop for a moment n run to my baby... when I hold her she was burning .... I started crying n said ' my baby... oh god... martha bring my car keys'
I hold aria n run to my car but my father stopped me n said ' I will take you to the hospital ... you r not in a position to take her ... I will stay with you'
I just nodded n sat in daddy car n run to hospital
The doctor checked Aria n said they have to keep her over night to control her temperature n check her vitals ... a small baby having this kind of trouble is too much for me.
I was sitting in the sitting area... when my father sit with me he give me coffee... I can only take two sips but my mind was going to Aria... I started sobbing quietly .... I can't lose her... she is my everything.... what kind of mother im ... my baby has been neglected n unloved by her father n now I also neglected her..I was now fully crying ... then my father awkwardly put his hand on my shoulder... n then I realized that for the first time in my life my father was supporting me... I can't control myself n hugged my father for the first time... he was still but I dont care ... I said ' Thank you so much daddy .... I can't tell you how scared I was .... im so happy you are here'
He just stand,still n said ' its nothing.... hmmm... you should probably called Alex'
Alex... shit .... I dont even realized that in all I forgot to inform Alex.... I picked my phone... but I stop when I start recalling all those events when he stated he is not interested in Aria...
I replied ' Daddy ... Alex is busy..n his time will be wasted here'
Father looked annoyed ' his child is in hospital n he can't leave his work? '
I replied ' Daddy you of all people should know that when life gives you something unwanted .... then you don't care for that thing.... and in this case Aria is unwanted'
Daddy looked embarrassed... n said nothing
I said' Daddy you should go... mom will be waiting for you .... im here for Aria'
He said' You want me to leave you alone ... especially in this time'
I replied ' Im always alone daddy .... but still thank you for your support I will never forget that' I said with a smile
He said ' I will stay till doctor checked her'
After few minutes my phone rings it was Alex ... I picked n said ' Hello Alex'
He said ' what the hell Kate.... where are you im here worried sick.... how can you leave emma alone.... I won't even know it was martha who told me'
He was angry I left emma alone but not that Aria is sick n in the hospit
I replied ' then martha surely informed you why I left emma alone n why I hurriedly leave the house..... Alex.... (I can't control my tears') Alex Aria is in hospital ... she was burning in fever .... doctors said they have keep her in hospital for a night... so yeah I can't tell you anything because im worried sick for my baby'
He was silent for a moment n said ' shit Kate... how is she... fuck im coming dont worry... im coming'
N he hanged the phone...
Father phone was ringing again n again
N he was ignoring it
I said ' Daddy... you should go ... mom might be in worry why you are not home... Alex is coming so dont worry'
He looked uncomfortable to leave me... n I found that to be so comforting that he felt something for me... but mom is,alone so insisted him more... he said ok
Alex
When I reached hospital ... I saw kate sitting quietly n looking so tired ... I reached her n said ' Kate'
