Ohmph, my head. Lily whines in discomfort as she slowly begins to open her eyes and seat upright, hissing at the throbbing pain in her pelvic region.
Stay still princess Ryder ordered before rushing to sit on the bed, he carefully grabbed her hands and placed a soft kiss on the back of her hands three times before wiping the stray drop of tears on his cheeks.
Lily turned to him, she found herself slowly drawing in to wipe his wet cheeks with her other hand, her mouth opened to speak but shut back up almost immediately as it did.
Say it Ryder said, not taking his eyes off of her.
Its fine she said with a shake of her head, barely gasping for breath, panting. He noticed this and swapped their position so he was now seating behind her with his back to the headboard while she was between his legs, he then pulled her softly so her back was resting on his chest.
Next thing he know, she belched like she was fighting back a vomit.
The way she threw her hands to her mouth to block out the annoying sound of it that has already escaped made him start to rub her sides and stomach.
How did you find me?
Through the window.
You climbed your way to my room?
Yeah.
How, I mean the tree is kinda distant to my window?
Uhm.
Tell me she begged.
I used your neighbors ladder since it was readily available on the ground, Lily made a laughing spoiler face, she figured there was more to the story especially the fact that he is patiently waiting for her question him.
Then how did you get me out?
Her vision began to blur when the memory of how Marcus kicked her for one final time made her feel so surreal.
Have got you princess, come here. You need to take a nap, your body needs all the rest you can get.
The baby? She ask holding his hands for support, Ryder sighed.
It took a while longer that Lily thought he wasn't going to respond but he did.
You lost the baby, am so sorry.
Lily shrugged her shoulders together not realizing Ryder's gaze was now set on her, he was expecting her to be upset, shoot out of the bed and throw her body on the floor wailing.
Although he had just met her but a little spark of jealousy hit him after his mom helped stop the bleeding and later on proceeded to ask her son why he got her pregnant and forced her to abort the baby.
But Lily shocked him when she she took the news well and said nothing but oh.
Lisa Ryder's mom knocked on the door and suddenly walked Into the room without waiting for a come in, with a silver train in her hands, she smiled down at Lily who hid her face quickly with her hair squeezing Ryder's hand in fear.
Its okay Lily that's my mom Lisa.
Did I scare her?
Lily listened attentively as lisa whisper asked her son who grumbled out a short response in curt respect. Ryder pulled his body free from her and gently leaned her body against a pillow.
How are you feeling Lilianna.
Mom its Lily, Ryder corrected her.
Its fine, Lily whispered shyly to his hearing only.
Lisa teeth hissed at her son, how are you feeling?
Am fine, except for the cramps and the terrible headache and, my breast feels stuffy, sore, sensitive to touch, besides all of that pain, I think am fine.
Lisa wrinkled forehead finally relaxed itself, she placed the tray on the table and asked a shocking question.
Can we do it now?
Do what?
Silence...
Do what?
More silence...
Ryder, what are we doing she asked rubbing the right side of her abdomen.
Mom can you give us a second to iron it out.
Yeah sure, I'll be in my office.
He nodded, focusing on Lily's confused stare.
At the gentle slam of the door, he cleared his throat and reached out, holding her two small hands in his.
Lily remember when you asked me about the baby he said lifting a eyebrow at her.
Yes.
He paused.
She panicked, what is it?
Am I still preg-nant her shaky voice asked as tears were already clouding her iris.
No no no, he kissed her hands and draws circles on her laps, forming a heart shape. Its totally far from it, the light im the room suddenly glistened on Lily's face.
I don't know how to explain this better to you,
Is it unfixable she asked.
He sighed. Lily my mom, s-she he stuttered, she is An obstetrician, she most times work at home and sometimes at the hospital, so she ran some test and scan on you after she stopped the bleeding and figured that some of the uhm, he scratched his head nervously, unable to complete the sentence.
Am still partially carrying his blood in my womb, she whispered in absolute realization to herself.
Yeah, he lazily answered I know I said you lost the baby but if you corporate with my mom,am sure the result will justify the deed, there may still be a slight chance it survived the kicks Lily.
The two fell back into uncomfortable silence.
Lily realized her throat was dry, scratchy and her palms was getting sweaty from the sudden turn of the news.
Am ready she said without a second thought.
Lily, are you sure he asked.
She paused.
You don't have to do it, I will still support you all the way no matter what your decision is.
You are not going to ask me who the father of the baby is?
Is it important he asked sensing the distress in her question as his eyes lids twitched with lack of interest in the topic
Lily smiled, she couldn't believe her ears, her head felt fuzzy at his response.
Send her in please.
I'll be back okay, he kissed her cheeks and set out of the room to fetch his mom while Lily took that short time to think about what explanations to give, it was a better thought than the procedure she was about to embark on.
Oh sweety Lisa sits on the bed and wiped the fallen tears on Lillys cheeks away, am so sorry.
Is it going to hurt?
Lisa didn't want to lie and she didn't want to put fear in Lily's mind so she smiled and said I'll be quick.
Lily this is Margaret she works for me, is it okay for her to be in the room with you while I fix you up?
Lily nodded.
Hi little one Margaret waved at her.
Hello Lily greeted back in a rush.
All this time Ryder stood in front of the television set with his two hands pocketed, he had his mind set on who impregnated a girl like her, abandoning her to the point abortion became her first option, since he couldn't ask the question of who the guy is fearing she will resent him, he figured that maybe digging into her personal life secretly will save them both of their face.
Ryder Lisa screamed, slapping his face with a soft handkerchief to pull him back to reality.
Mom?
Lily wants you to step outside.
His adam apple ran up at the chances and possibility of the evacuation going wrong, he removed his necklace and went around to put it on her neck, kissing her forehead and whispering in her ears.
I'll be with you in spirit all through it all, okay?
Lily nodded and watched as he walked out of the room to give her, Margaret and his mom the privacy and space to get down to work.
