————————————————-

ADAM’S POV

I was in my desk, my hands supported my

head, I was tired, mentally tired. Emma was

gone and I didn’t know what to do, should I

look for her? Even I decide to bring her back I

don’t know where to find her.

This morning I left to work very early , I was

avoiding her sleep didn’t get to me last night

anyways. This afternoon when I c@m£ back

Martha was anxious waiting and informed me

that Emma decided to leave, she was gone

and did not tell anyone where she was going.

Now that she’s not here I feel empty, and lost.

Emma bec@m£ a big p@rt of my life and I feel

like I’m not myself anymore. She even left

behind everything a bought for her, even her

ring, she doesn’t want anything coming from

me and I don’t blame her I’ve been the worst

husband. A p@rt of me tells me we can not be

together and the other wants her here now. I’m

so confused.

A knock in the door took me out of the trance.

“Come in.”

Martha walked in with something in her hands.

“Sir. are you alright? ”

She probably noticed the bags un-der my eyes.

“Yes, I’m fine. What happened?”

“I don’t know how to say this Sir.”

“Just speak Martha, I don’t have all day.”

“I was cleaning your room now and…”

“What happened? Just say it.”

“I…. I found this in the trash.”

I frowned my eyebrows, what could be so

important for her to pick it up from the trash?

Martha placed a white plastic stick on my

desk in front of me. I looked at her and back

to the unfamiliar item.

“What is this.”

She stud quiet, looking at the floor so I

gr@bb£d the mysterious object in my hands in

order to bring it closer and inspect. My eyes

wi-de-ned when I re-ad the word ‘pregnant’ in the

small screen. I think in that moment my br@in

just shut down because I couldn’t bring any

coherent thoughts.

“What is this? Just tell me what this is?” I

repeated.

“It is a pregnancy test Sir. a positive one

actually, looks like Mrs. Emma is pregnant,

you are going to be a dad again.”

With that I got up from my desk and ran out

the house leaving Martha in my office stunned

and confused.

I got in my car and started driving. I nee-d to

find Emma even if that implies fli-pping this

entire city over. I called every single Hospital

in the city asking if Thomas Ross was a

patient until one confirmed, I headed there

chances are Emma will be visiting her dad.

I parked and walked in. The receptionist

informed me where his room was and I went.

As I approached the room a weird s-en-sation

begun to build up inside me, I was so close to

see the man I hated the most, the man to took

Amy’s life. I reached room 412, like the

receptionist suggested, it was so ha-rd to walk

inside that room, I could not bring myself to

open up that door, so instead I just stared

throu-gh the glas-s window.

Thomas was helpless in his be-d, his eyes

closed and all kind of monitors and cables

around him. To my surprise the first thought

that c@m£ to my mind was, Emma, how much

could have she suffered seen her dad like this

for two entire years, everyone telling her he

would’t make it. As ha-rd as I tried I could’t see

the man I hated, I only saw the father of the

woman I love, yes, because I love Emma, with

all that’s in me.

That very man who took away one love of my

life, but brou-ght to me the other big love of my

life. The mix of emotions was unbearable, of

all the women in the world I had to fall in love

with his daughter, but how could I not, she was

always kind, sweet and selfless.

Suddenly images of Emma popped up in my

head, our fist k!ss, her red hair sighing in the

bright br@zilian sun, her soft ivory skin, her

dancing in the street in Rio de Jaeniro staring

right in my eyes, her smile, the fist time we

made love and how I feel at heaven when she’s

k!sses me.

‘Where are you Emma? Come back home?’ You

can’t leave, how come you didn’t tell be you

were pregnant? I whispered. She did say she

had something to tell me, I’m sure it was that,

she probably changed her mind after I told her

that our relationsh!pwouldn’t work, I regret

saying that so much, I wish I could go back in

time and change, not only that but many things

I said and did.

“Sir. are you lost?” A voice from behind made

me startle and turn around. It was a nurse.

“No, he’s my…. my wife’s dad.”

“Oh I didn’t know Emma was married.”

“We recently got married, that’s probably why.”

I mean what else could I say?

“Congratulations then, you are one lucky man I

must say, that girl is one of a kind. Did you

know she sle-pt here at the hospital for two

months straight when he entered in the coma,

two months slee-ping on a ha-rd hospital chair

after being working all day as a waitress? We

had a ha-rd time convincing her that she should

go home, there was nothing she could do

staying here, we didn’t want her to get sick too

you know.”

“Yep, that’s my sweet Emma.”

“Alright, my name is Mindy, I’m Mr. Ross’

nurse, let me know if you nee-d anything.”

“Actually I do, can you tell me how’s his

condition right now?”

“Well Thomas is a very strong man, we are all

surprised he survived and even more surprised

now after all this time it looks like he’s going

to fully recover, is amazing.”

“Yes, the car accident he was in was deadly.”

a knot in my throat formed only to mention

that accident.

“Mmmm, I sorry but Mr. Ross was never in a

car accident, he got in a coma after falling

from the second floor balcony of his home. He

received two gun shoots ma-king him fall off

the balcony.”

“What?” who was driving that car then.”

“I’m sorry Sir. I don’t know what your’e talking

about. I have to continue with my round but

plea-se let me know if you nee-d anything OK?”

Mindy walked away leaving me more confused

than ever before. How come? the police report

was very clear and specified the plate number

of the other car and it was un-der Thomas’

Ross name. If he wasn’t driving that car that

night then who.

“Mindy?!” I called her again, she turned to took

my way.”

“Yes Sir.”

“Can you tell me the d@t£ of Mr. Ross’ accident

plea-se.”

“Of course, I remember very well, he’s been my

longest patient. October 10, 2016. Anything

else Sir.”

“No, that’s it, plea-se continue with your day.”

October 10, 2016 was the exact same day of

Amy’s accident, this is not ma-king any scene,

Thomas Ross couldn’t possibly be driving that

car, and if he wasn’t then who?

 

 

ADAM’S POV

TWO MONTHS LATER

It’s been two months since Emma left, I’ve

been looking everywhere for her, its like she

just vanished. I can not help but to wonder, if

she’s been eating and slee-ping right, if she has

a comfortable be-d to sleep in, how is she

felling, is she having any morning sickness,

have a doctor seen her, does she misses us?

Me? Nothing more than a total mess, I haven’t

been able to catch any sleep, an hour per day

at the most is all I’ve been able to achieve. I

try to sleep, I really do, but somehow I wake

up in the middle of the night my thoughts and

worry haunting me.

I have hvge bags un-der my eyes and I’ve even

lost some weight. I felt like a hvge p@rt of me

was slowly dying.

Most of the time I’m either at work or in my

study, I only f0rç£ myself to have dinner with

Demi and spend some time with her before her

be-d time. This is been ha-rd on her too, she

misses Emma so much and won’t st©p talking

about her. She’s even saying now that Emma

went to see her at school, my poor little girl I

don’t know what to say to her anymore.

I walked out of my study to go and say

goodnight to Demi, ever since Emma left it

bec@m£ my job again.

“Daddy!!! how are you feeling?”

Even a four year old can notice my ghostly

state.

“I’m good princess, how are you?” I tried to

give her my best smile.

“I miss Emma.” Her mood changed and she

looked down to the floor, my heart broke a

little more if that’s even possible.

“I know baby, I miss her too.”

“When are you bringing her back, you said you

will bring her back but it’s been too long.”

“I’m sorry princess I’m doing my best, I wish it

was that easy.”

“Why don’t you go and get her at the school?”

“Demi, Emma is not at the school, why do you

keep saying that?”

“Because she is daddy, I’ve seen her, I

promise, I’m not lying. Sometimes when I go

to the pla-yground I can see her at the other

side of the fence, across the street looking at

me, she even waves when I notice her and she

smiles to me, sometimes she’s crying. Emma

is very sad daddy, why?”

Could this be true? I know my daughter, she’s

not the kind of kid who lies. What she says is

too specific to be coming from her

imagination. Desperation took over.

“Demi you nee-d to tell me at what time and

what days she’s going to your school.”

“I don’t know daddy, she goes some days not

all days, sometimes in the mornings and

sometimes in the afternoon.”

I keep forgetting she’s only four, I can’t ask her

for more.

I k!$$£d her head.

“That’s fine, you have helped me a lot alre-ady,

now get some sleep, I promise you Emma will

be back home in no time.”

——————

I’ve spent an entire week literally parked

outside of Demi’s school and Emma hasn’t

showed up. I don’t know what to do anymore, I

even hired a pri-vate investigator but no trace of

her could be found, she couldn’t have

disappeared, she’s somewhere and I wont st©p

until I find her.

This morning I decided to go to the hospital to

check on Thomas’ progress. I bu-mped into

Mindy when I was about to enter the room.

“Good morning Sir. its been a while.”

“Good morning, yes it has… how’s Mr. Ross

going?”

“Oh you did’t know? How come Emma didn’t

tell you?”

“Tell me what?”

“Mr. Ross has alre-ady woken up, two weeks

ago.”

I felt a cold s-en-sation in my stomach and

relief at the same time, Emma must be so

happy, what I’ll give to see that smile of hers

one more time.

“How’s his condition now?”

“Well the recovery process is very ha-rd and

slow, he will nee-d a lot of physical thera-py for

a long time, but right now the main concern is

if they will be able to afford the payments, you

know.”

“Oh… that shouldn’t be a problem, I’ll pay

now.”

“Now? today?”

“Yes, right now.”

“That’s great, follow me this way plea-se.”

I followed Mindy into an office to processes

the payment, I also left my personal

information and requested if further charges

appear to contact me directly and I’ll make all

payments necessary. They shouldn’t bother

Emma with anything in regards payments.

I went back into the room, I nee-ded to face

Thomas Ross for once and for all, it will be

easier now that I know he wasn’t the person

behind the accident. When I walked in his eyes

landed on me right away.

“Good morning Mr. Ross.”

“Good morning, I’m sorry but do I know you?” I

can’t believe I talking to Thomas Ross right

now.

“I’m Adam McRobers, Emma’s husband, I don’t

know if she has mentioned me.”

“Yes, she has, you can take a seat if you wish.”

“Thank you Sir.” I obligated.

“I don’t know what happened between you two,

but my daughter is very hurt.”

“I’m sorry, you don’t know how much I’ve

wished I could go back in time.”

“I can only say that you will nee-d to earn her

forgiveness.”

“I’ve been looking for her for so long, but she’s

nowhere to be found, do you know where she

could be?”

“I don’t know much, she’s not telling me a lot,

she doesn’t want me to worry. All I know is

she got a job at a restaurant, she sle-pt here at

the hospital for sometime and once she

gathered some money she rented a room and

have been staying there since then, she still

visits me everyday but at random times, I

guess she does it around her work schedule.”

A knot formed in my throat just to imagine her

slee-ping at a hospital chair and working at a

restaurant while pregnant. I nee-d to fix this

mess.

“Do you know at what restaurant she’s working

now?”

“I’m sorry, I have no idea.”

“Alright, thank you for your time Mr. Ross. I

must go now, but will give you a visit

tomorrow again… can I ask a favor from you?”

“Sure, as much as I can help.”

“Don’t tell Emma I c@m£ and we talked.”

“I can do that.”

“Thank you Mr. Ross.”

“Just call me Thomas.”

“Thank you Thomas.” I said turning my heel to

walk away. Hi fresh ome on+233544142683 to be added to Story headquarters room for more stories.

“Adam….” Thomas’ voice made me st©p and

turn my attention to him again.

“Yes.”

“Protect her plea-se…. her brother….”

“I know, and I give you my word I’ll protect her

with my own life, I’ve been looking for her for

two months alre-ady and I’m not st©pping until

I bring her back home.”

“Thank you.”

I nodded and left the room. I’m starting to get

a head ache, the lack of sleep and the anxiety

are taking a toll on me.

I’m now walking looking at the floor, my n£¢k

can no longer support my head, I made a left

turn towards the exit hallway, something made

me look up and there she was.

My heart skied a beat Emma as right in front

of me and my face lit up. Her red hair fell over

her shoulders in waves and she looked prettier

than ever, even though I could see bags un-der

her eyes she still had this glow to her, could

be the preg….. I looked her up and down and

a small bu-mp was alre-ady visible. A sudden

wave of happiness hit me, I had alre-ady

forgotten this amazing feeling. I look back at

her eyes, she was surprised and a little bit

worried of seeing me but I couldn’t hide my

smile.

“Emma, are you alright?”

“I am fine, thanks for asking… excuse me…”

She tried to go around me but I gabbe-d her

arm.

“We nee-d to talk.”

ADAM’S POV

Emma, are you alright?”

“I am fine, thanks for asking… excuse me…”

She tried to go around me but I gabbe-d her

arm.

“We nee-d to talk.”

“I don’t want to, plea-se continue with your life

as I am with mine.”

“I’m not letting you go, specially now that we

are having a baby. You nee-d to come back

home.”

“Fist of all, that’s not my home, it never was,

and second this baby isn’t yours so st©p

haras-sing me, forget that I ever existed.”

“You’re lying just to push me away, I know that

baby is mine and you’re mine too.”

“How arrogant can you be, I’m not one of your

business deals… just stay away from us, like I

said this baby is not yours.”

“Even if you say that a thousand times I wont

believe it.”

“How come you not believe it? Didn’t you say I

was a who-re and a gold digger multi-ple

times?”

“Emma plea-se st©p.”

“That’s actually what I want to do, st©p, just let

me go Adam.” She pushed her arm away from

my hold. You were right this relationsh!pwill

never work.” She started walking away.

I gr@bb£d her by her w@!st from behind, my

hand landed on her wo-mb and I felt how she

froze not knowing what to do. I gave her the

hvg I so desperately been wanting for two

months, her scent bec@m£ my medicine as I

buried my face on her n£¢k and ca-ressed her

little bu-mp with my hands.

“I love you two so much, I was going crazy not

knowing where you were, plea-se don’t do this

again.” I whispered in her ear.

“St©p we are in the middle of the hospital,

people are staring.” She whispered back.

“Lets go somewhere appropriate then.” I

continued whispering in my ti-ght hold even

though I wanted to stay like this for ever.

We left the hospital and sat at a nearby cafe,

Emma was avoiding my eyes the hole time.

“I don’t even know why we c@m£ here, I said

all I nee-ded to say.”

“What do you want me to do to make you

forgive me.”

“Nothing, there’s nothing than can be done at

this point. The only thing I want from you is

your signature in the divorce papers.”

“That I will never do.” I said taking calmly a

sip of my coffee, while inside, I was dying.

“Why are you doing this to me? You are just

ma-king my life more difficult.”

“I’m not letting you go, I’ve tell you this so

many times.”

“Why?”

“Because I love you!” I yelled ma-king her

startle in her chair and the entire cafe clientele

and staff look at us.

Emma was in shock, I have never said this to

her before. I saw how tears gathered in her

eyes and one ran down her cheek, I couldn’t

resist the drive to wipe it with my thumb.

“That’s no enough and you know it, you even

said it that night.”

“Forget what I said that night. Besides I know

your dad was not involved in the accident

and—”

“My brother was.”

She interrupted me .

“What?”

“The night of the accident, Jason c@m£ home

along with one of his shady friends, both

extremely intoxicated. He asked dad for

money, for sure to buy more drugs. We had no

money, so he wanted to sell my dad’s car,

everything else of value we had he sold before.

My dad refused, they stated arguing and he

got a gun shooting my dad twice, dad fell off

the balcony and entered in a coma as a result

of the injuries.

Jason didn’t even st©pped to see if dad was

alive or not, him and his friend got the car and

left. They crashed the car that same night,

Jason’s friend was the one driving and died

but Jason was uninjured and being the coward

he is ran from the scene before the police

arrived. They were unable to identify Jason’s

friend because he wasn’t carrying and

do¢v-ments with him. He probably didn’t even

have a driver’s licence. Adam my dad didn’t

caused Amy’s death but my brother did, things

haven’t changed.”

I took a de-ep breath and closed my eyes. I’ve

been so wrong all this time. I feel terrible for

Emma, she was as much of a victim as I was

and I made her miserable, I took my

res£ntment on the very person who suffered

the most in all this.

“I don’t care who caused that accident

anymore. Forgive me Emma, none of that was

your fault, I’ve been selfish and ignorant this

hole time. I don’t care about the past anymore,

I can’t change it. I want to focus in the future,

a future with you.”

“How do I know you won’t fl!pover one day

and go back to hating me again.”

“I could never hate you Emma, I love you more

than life itself.”

She look at her wrist watch .

“I have to go, can’t be late for work.”

“You don’t nee-d to work and in your state I

prefer you stay home and rest.”

“Are you going to control my life again?”

“Of course not, I just think you nee-d to take

things easy now that you’re pregnant, you don’t

nee-d to hustle for money anymore, I’ll give you

everything you nee-d.”

“I don’t want anything form you.”

I took a de-ep breath, this will be ha-rder than I

thought.

“Okay, then do it for the baby, I have all the

right to provide for my own child.”

“That doesn’t mean I nee-d to st©p working.”

“Emma plea-se don’t be stubborn, just give me

one more chance to do things right.”

“Okay, just one chance, you have only one

chance left in your lifetime.”

My face lit up

“That will be enough, I’m not planing on

scre-wing ever again, now lets go home.”

“No, this time we will do things my way, I’m

not going back to that house until I know

things have really changed, I will continue with

my life how it’s been for the past two months.”

“Okay, I guess that’s more than I had

yesterday.”

“Now I have to go.”

She got up from the chair.

“Wait!!!! Can I at least know where you live and

work.”

“I’ll find you.”

She said and walked away leaving me in the

coffee shop, I hvgged my head with both my

hands in frustration.

EMMA’S POV

When I saw Adam standing in front of me in

the hospital every single cell of my b©dy froze,

that was the least place I expected to see him.

I’ve been hiding from him for two months to

end up finding him in the only place I felt safe.

I even had to st©p going to see Demi when I

saw his car parked outside of the school,

gotta give it to him, he didn’t sopped going for

a hole week, every day ma-king me leave

without seeing Demi.

When I felt his hands wra-p around me and

t©uçh my growing belly, I felt like everything

has fallen into place, I missed him so much

and worried me how he looked, he had hvge

bags un-der his eyes and was a little thinner

that what I remembered, he even had a beard,

he hasn’t shaved in a while.

I fought the de-sire to land in his arms because

I’ve been hurt by him so many times. Now that

I’m going to be a mother I see things

differently, and I wont settle for anything other

than what me and this baby deserve.

I was walking in the side way hoping to get a

cab if not I wouldn’t make it on time to work

when I felt the pressure of a hand pu-lling me

into a dark alley behind the buildings. Terror

filled my entire b©dy as I saw the person

standing before me.

“Hi big sister, having fun with the rich boy?” He

looked down to my bu-mp. “Sure you are.”

“J….Jason.”
