Chapter 171 - Chapter 171 High chances

"Yes, they are such cute names. Am so glad that you're fine Bella. You really gave me a scare. Tell me what happened?" "I woke up in the night wanting to pee but I didn't want to wake Ethan. He was so busy during the day that I let him rest. Then I went to the bathroom but as I was coming back I slipped and fell," she explained. "Sorry. But at least you're fine and the babies. I'm staying here with you till you are discharged," she promised. Bella smiled and said," Thank you so much for being here with me at this moment of my life Luna. It means a lot to me." "Come on Bella. It's my responsibility, we are sisters. We laugh and cry together."

Away from that, as Ethan was sending off his parents, he was called to the doctor's office. He wondered what the problem would be and on sitting, he asked what the matter was. "Uhm... there's something I didn't tell you about your wife, Mr Carter but I wanted you to calm down first," said the doctor. Ethan then got worried again and asked," What's wrong?" "According to the accident she got, a part of her uterus was damaged and there are high chances that she may not be able to conceive again. Or if she does, there are high chances that she might get a miscarriage," said the doctor and Ethan was dumbstruck. There's no way he could say this to Bella, at least not now. "Is there anything that could be done?" he asked. "We shall have to wait for a year or two and perform an examination again but as of now, nothing can be done." "Please don't mention it to anyone again especially to her," he said before leaving the office and on his way, he found Luna. "Hey, where were you? We called your phone but you weren't answering. Bella needs you," she said. "Is she fine?" he asked.

"Yes, she misses you. But it's you who doesn't seem to be alright. Anything wrong?" Luna noticed his stressed face. "No, I mean yes. There's something you need to know," he said.

She nodded urging him to continue and he told her what the doctor had said. Luna couldn't believe it. She looked at him and whispered," That is so terrible. How will she take it?" "I think we should not tell her, not now at least. She's still sad about our baby girl." Thinking through it, she said," You're right. We shouldn't tell her now."

When he went to see Bella, he found their son sleeping. "Where have you been?" she asked the moment she saw him. "I was visiting our baby girl. How are you feeling?"he asked. "I'm okay. How's she? I honestly want to see her," she said. "I know and I understand but please wait at least for a week." "Okay. But I'm scared of remaining with a scar on my belly," she said and he chuckled before saying," I will love you the same even though you have it." "I know but I don't want it still," she said as she pouted her lips. "You shouldn't worry about it. I told the doctors about it well knowing that you don't want it and they said that it won't show when you're cured," he said and she nodded relieved. "But why did you go to the bathroom all alone?" he asked. "I didn't want to wake you up. You were so tired and I thought that I could do it myself. I'm sorry."

"Don't do it again. You're my responsibility and it kills me when you get hurt in my presence. It makes me feel like a loser, someone who can't protect what I love the most." "I'm so sorry for making you feel that way and I promise never to do it again." Just then, Alex and his wife entered the room and the two were so happy to see them.

Luna went to the NICU and spent sometime with the baby thinking of what the doctor said. When she left, she called home and asked how Dylan was doing and she was told that he was at school. After, she called Graham and informed him about how things were going.

When a week passed, Bella asked to see her daughter and when the doctors confirmed that she could walk, she was taken to the NICU and met her daughter. It was a very happy moment for her. The baby had gained some weight compared to how she was born. During the entire week, Bella would go to the NICU and breastfeed her directly.

In the middle of the last week, Graham came to the hospital. "How was your trip?" Luna asked as she hugged him. "Fine but stressful. How have you been?" "I've been doing well," she said as she led him inside the hospital. "That's good. And Bella, how is she?" "She's fine too," they had reached and opened the door but they found the two deeply kissing.
