The first place I headed was the hospital.

"Good morning can you tell me where Akeilia Perry is being kept?" I asked the receptionist. I could've just called my father and asked, but it was quicker to asked the lady than to dial his number.

"Here you go". She handed me a piece of paper.

If your interested in a one night stand I'm all yours. I'll give you something to reminisce on.

Why did it felt like I had a deja vu?

I sighed and ripped the paper in front of her. The expression on her face made it seemed as if everytime I ripped the paper it was her heart I ripped.

Didn't expect that, did you?

"I'm not gonna let skanks like you break my family apart. Don't try to seduce me bitch because your not my type". Damn I hate woman like her. Well now. Years ago it was joy to me. I didn't yelled, but I didn't whisper either. A few persons heard. I also heard a few whispered my name. But I made sure to keep my angry face on so no one would approach me.

With women like that it didn't take much to impress. With Akeilia, it didn't once came across my mind to try to make an impression because I knew it wouldn't work.

Instead of asking her for my wife room number again I walked off and called father instead.

I arrived at the floor and saw everyone waiting at a door.

I walked to the door but before I could open it Amelia stopped me. She pulled me away from everyone.

"Amelia".

"You can't see her at the moment. You saw everyone waiting outside yet your ready to barge in".

"Well I'm her husband. I have all right".

"Not when she's undergoing surgery...What happened back there Michael?" We stopped and she let hold From my arm.

I frowned.

"What happened back where?" I know deep down she knew what I did, so why asked?

"At the house. What did you do?"

"I spoke to her for a while more before I left". Amelia half opened her mouth.

"I can't believe this". I clenched my teeth.

"What?"

"Michael what did you do?" If she had any idea how I felt she wouldn't asked me that.

"You of all people should understand me better than anyone. If you know what's good for you you avoid me".

"Michael alright. I understand that your going through a tough time right now. I'm gonna be there for you. I won't judge". Amelia wasn't as sweet as she seemed, but that was for a later date.

I relaxed my shoulders. I thought about what I witnessed earlier with my wife.

"What happened Amelia? I checked her pulse. She died in my arms. I mean I'm happy that she's alive but...". I looked from left to right.

"When it's not your time it's just not, but Ahh, she didn't die Michael. She fainted because she lost a lot of blood. Due to that her heart rate decrease and was beating slower than usual. So if you kept your fingers there a little longer you would've got a pulse". Oh. That made sense.

"What about my babies?" She smiled.

"Just sit down and relax. They all are ok". I felt good. I smiled. I was really happy. We were finally gonna live a normal life.

I looked down there and saw Monique. She looked away from me and walked off.

"Excuse me". I walked off before I could sit.

I followed her until we weren't insight of any of our families and friends. Leon is dead and she still finds the strength to come here to be there for Akeilia. I knew it was hard for her, but she was still being a good friend.

"Monique I'm-".

"Save it Michael. I don't want your pity. You know, I'm this close to regret that we were ever friends, with you...And Akeilia". What?

"Monique I'm sorry about Leon. He wasn't just your husband. He was my friend too. My best friend. You didn't have to go that far. None of this was Akeilia's fault". She walked up to me.

"Oh yeah? Akeilia was the one who called him. He told me that before he left to pick her up".

"That's what friends do Monique. They call on each other for help".

"Why couldn't she face what she had to on her own? Why does she has to pull everyone in her misery?"

I pointed.

"You know that Akeilia's not like that. She'd rather deal with it on her own than to drag anyone into it and you know that. Where's all of this coming from? It hurts me as much as you. This, this that your saying isn't fair".

"My husband could've died because of her".

"I was the one who didn't listen when she told me what was going on. If you want someone to blame-". I swallowed with hope that what I thought I heard was actually true.

"What did you just say?"

"Leon isn't dead. What? Was that what you wanted?" I despair quick sigh escaped my mouth. I couldn't believe that this was coming from Monique's mouth.

But I think I know where all of this anger and hatred was coming from.

She didn't know the type of person I'd became. She was lucky she was my friend. I wanted no more threat to my family.

"I'm done with you Monique. As soon as Akeilia awakes, we'll be out of your life. So don't worry. No more Akeilia to cause you f*ck*ng misery, and if Leon agrees with you we'll be out of his too". She looked as if she regretted what she'd said, but she already said it and I won't forget it.

I turned around and walked away.

"Michael wait".

Soon I was back where everyone was.

It was my fault. Monique's action was my fault. Damn it!

I sat without a word to anyone.

I knew they wanted to say something, but no one did. Mom, dad, Amelia, Nathan, Monique's parents, Nicole and a few from the estate. Wendy etc.

How could Monique blamed all of this on Akeilia? She was her best friend. Friends look out for each other and got each other's backs. There wasn't any reason for her to change. What happened in the past stayed in the past. She should f*cking forget it!

Leon's alive. That, I was happy about. He was one lucky bastard.

I remembered at one point I couldn't focus when I was at Akeilia's office. Jennifer talked me into composing myself. For some reason it Killed my emotions, or maybe it was my brain trying to co-op with the situation. At one point I stopped freaking out about Leon's death. And at one point I didn't freak out at my wife's death neither when I was at the old house. No it was just my brain trying to co-op. Or maybe I was changing, because at one point I felt almost..evil. but it changed the moment I was convinced that my wife was still alive. Was there more to life than what we see?

Based on what I'd experienced with Jennifer, I'd say anything was possible.

It was full time we started living our lives to the fullest. If that meant being out of Monique's then so be it. I'd eliminate every threat that came our way.

"Doctor how is she?" I looked up after Nicole spoke.

"She's stable. Can I have a word with you Mr Perry?" He looked at me. I stood. He gestured for me to follow him and I did.

"Is everything alright?"

"Not quite. The slice on her belly went almost too far. We managed to patch it up, but every kicked those babies kicked it strained the wound". Doctor Terry told me.

"Are you saying, that will irritate the wound from-".

"The inside yes. Extremely". I shut and opened my eyes. Why us?

"So what now?"

"She's still unconscious but I'd have to continue giving her painkillers. She's in a state where she can't speak or open her eyes, but she can still hear and feel. The wound is difficult to heal when those babies are kicking. But there are options. Options you won't like. We can wait to see if she'll miraculously heal while those babies are kicking. If that doesn't work we're gonna have to slow the babies movements, which I can't guarantee that they'll survive. It's very risky. We can do caesarean section and take those babies out. Which..It's not one hundred percent possibility that she'll survive". I could hear my heart pounding.

"But won't my babies be premature?" He nodded.

"Your gonna have to sign some papers just incase of any fatalities-".

"Now stop right there". I held a hand up at him.

"My wife or my babies are gonna die. You got that?"

"Your gonna have to make a decision". I pointed at the direction we came from.

"If it was Amelia that was in there would it be easy for you to make a decision?"

"Let's keep this professional shall we?"

"Your a son of a bitch you know that".

"Watch your mouth that's my mother your talking about. Don't you think I did my best in there for Akeilia? When she came it here I made it my job to take it over from the other doctors, to see to it that she'll survive. If there was something else I could've done don't you think I'd do it?" He gritted his teeth.

"The options that we have is up to you to make. I can't make those decisions for you Michael". I looked at him for a few seconds.

"Can.. can I see her? Please".

"I ahh. I suppose so".

When we got back to where everyone was I knew they wanted to ask what the problem was but decided to leave it alone. I was glad cause I wasn't in the talking mood. I didn't even bother to look at Monique.

I walked in and shut the door behind me.

Tears came at my eyes after I looked at her. I had to make a decision.

Soon I walked back out and called doctor Terry to speak privately.

"Have you made your decision?"

You were probably a little confused at some things said, but further more you'll understand. I'm trying to update as quick as possible.

Please forgive any mistakes. Please feel free to point it out.
