My Evil Boy Toy

My head was throbbing from pain as I slowly opened my eyes. My vision wasn't clear at first when I woke up but I could smell the scent of flowers mixed with different scents.

I could smell the scent of antiseptic, a little bitter and pungent smell of medicine, with undertones of artificial fragrance of soaps and cleaners. I frowned as I tried to remember what happened earlier.

As my sight slowly turned clear, I looked around the room. 'Where am I?' 'Is this a hospital?' I thought to myself.

I raised my hand when I felt that throbbing pain on my head again. I was surprised to see an IV drip connected to my arm.

Then I remembered, I was in a constant and intense pain earlier. It was coming from my stomach, from my womb to be exact. With that extreme pain was a warm liquid coming out from inside me. And when I touched it to see what it was, I saw blood.

I screamed in pain both from my stomach and from my heart. I was thinking of the baby. I know something bad happened and that was the reason I'm here.

I bit my lips to stop the tears from my eyes but it didn't work. I started sobbing. I couldn't see anyone inside the room. 'Where's Jayden?'

I put my hands to my face and cried quietly. I honestly wanted to shout but I couldn't. I wanted Jayden on my side, I wanted him to console me.

I heard someone open the door and walk slowly towards the bed. I couldn't dare to look who it was. If it was Jayden, I couldn't look him into his eyes. It was my fault. I was so anxious and wouldn't stop worrying.

I was already in a bad shape and the doctor said that it was bad for me to think about unnecessary things. Jayden asked me if I could handle hearing everything about the Rossi's and our plan, I insisted on being a part of it. He was worried, telling me that I should rest first and once I'm okay, he would tell me. But I didn't listen.

In the end, I became more and more restless that I couldn't sleep after hearing it.

"Peggy?" It was Jayden's voice.

I cried louder while my face was buried in my hands. I don't want to look at him and hear what he was about to say.

I felt his hand on my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. He wrapped his arms around me, embracing me.

"Sshh. You should rest. You're exhausted." He said.

I cried even louder. I was expecting him to get mad at me. I was waiting for him to yell and blame me. But why is he acting like nothing happened? He was talking calmly and gently at me.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is all my fault." I said while wailing in his arms.

"Hey stop it. I told you to not blame yourself. Everything's fine. Peggy, please stop thinking about the Rossi's. Please, I want you to be strong."

Jayden started crying. I could feel his shoulders shaking while he was hugging me tighter.

"I'm sorry, love. I- I"

He tilted my face up to look at him directly into his eyes.

"I told you to stop. If you continue to be like that, I would really get mad at you. Peggy, it's not your fault. I completely understand that you are afraid because there's a chance that one of us might get hurt. I'm not going to deny it to you, I will be lying if I tell you that it won't happen. But Peggy, if we don't fight the Rossi's, this feud between us and them will never end. They want you, they want the throne, they want Flousia. It's only natural for us to defend the people we love. You are not a burden to me. You will never be like that. You are my strength, love. You, Caden and the baby. So I'm asking you to please take care of yourself and our baby."

I was relieved to hear that he wasn't mad at me but I was even more surprised to hear his last words.

"The baby? It's alive?" I asked.

I was anticipating his answer and felt like it was the longest time I had waited.

"Yes. The baby's okay. It's strong like you and won't give up without a fight. So please, love. Please promise me that you will take care of our baby." He begged.

I nodded and cried again. It was tears of joy. I was happy to hear that it's alive. I hugged Jayden tighter while brushing my hand to my belly.

'Thank you for being strong. I promise I won't let go. I will be strong like you. You will see the world and live long with me, your dad and your big brother. I'm sorry, mom suddenly became weak but today onwards, I will take care of you. I love you, my little miracle.' I said, talking silently to the little angel inside me.

Jayden cupped my face and started kissing me on the face. Then he helped me lay down on the bed, tucking me inside the blanket.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

I'm not really hungry but I have to be strong so I nodded.

"Love, what did the doctor said?" I asked.

I wanted to know what happened. Why did I suddenly feel a pain in my stomach and what is the reason I bleed?

"You will have to do some laboratory tests to see what's the cause. We were just waiting for you to wake up. The bleeding stopped because of the medicine the doctor gave you so don't worry for now. The baby's heartbeat is also getting better now. It wasn't like the one before." He explained.

Again, I was relieved. I just hope that nothing major is the reason why I bled earlier.

"Where's dad?" I asked.

"Outside. Talking to Benjamin. He came as soon as he heard what happened."

I don't know what to feel knowing that my two fathers were talking just outside of my hospital room.. I am praying, hoping that everything between them will be okay.
