slipping

he was put in a wheelchair and hooked to his steroids,they wheeled him to amy....she looked really bad...it pained him that she fell due to him wearing her out with his illness taking precedence over her and the baby.

amy put her hand out as the drip delivered the fluid to start her labour.

he turned his face to her to examine her features and for sure she was hiding something...but why would she lie to him? he hated that more than anything that she didn't trust him.

"amy please let me in....I know you and your hiding something...I met my so called mother and she apologized....not that I even feel anything but she said she's got nothing to do with what happened to you....so that leads me to 1 what Is she on about and 2 you met her and didn't tell me,why wouldn't you tell me?" he asked calmly as not to upset her.

amy looked away in total disdain....she couldn't speak about it...

he sighed this was no time for confrontation.

ha held her hand tight and whispered that he loved her.

she bravely bore the contractions and at the finality birthed their son.

he wasn't breathing so they cleared his airways and he cried much to his parents delight.

what wasn't welcomed was what the doctor who was beginning Amy's stitches said "amy your heavy lacerations from the rape due to the birth some split so it will take time to heal be extra careful of infections at this time sorry to bring it up but if you need any emotional support then your midwife will arrange that...please consider counselling it will help in the coming weeks"

Amy's face drained of all colour and she avoided simon completely.

he stood up in a hurry aware the nurse was still there...he seethed quietly.

the nurse finished up and checked Amy's chart that was brought when she was transferred.

she turned the page and looked at amy with sympathy

"it's come back the results are conclusive and they are now searching the database for a match...do you remember any details That may help I can report to the team?"

amy shook her head.

the nurse nodded and left them with a congratulations.

as soon as the door closed simon stalked towards amy.

"what happened amy ?who raped you and when.....I can't believe you are hiding something this magnanimous from me....I will fucking kill him...WHO IS IT!TELL ME"

Amy shrunk and burst into tears...he shook her shouting over and over who is it.

she cried in pain as her body couldn't take anymore of his harsh shaking .

"stop it si...it hurts...please don't make me talk...I can't I just cant"

he looked down at her incapable of fighting back and sat on the bed pulling her into his arms as she cried.

"amy I'm so so sorry what happened to you...I will fucking kill him that I promise you...no one touches you and gets away...that will never happen...I'm so sorry I failed you "

as they embraced the baby began chocking and Simon quickly picked him up running to the hall.

within minutes the doctors rushed to attend him.

all the while amy sat in a daze.

the boy was having complications due to the distress ,the other thing was she'd been kicked and punched in the stomach during the attack .

but it was when he stangled her that it affected the baby the most.

unfortunately after 2 hours the doctor arrived.

"I'm sorry mr zahir and Mrs zamiloon the baby won't make it...we tried everything but the trauma was too much....we will bring him to you so you can spend what little time he has left"

simons eyes filled with tears and he collapsed on the chair.

amy fell back as her heart monitor accelerated and crashed.

she was having a heart attack.

"amy...amy....nooo...doc please"

the team rushed to revive her.

Simons tears were flowing and his heart was breaking watching her suffer.

after 10 painstaking minutes her heart started in a slow rhythm.

alhamdulillah he hadn't lost her too.
