"Jeny! Jen!! what is it baby open the door!" Smith called banging on the door he ran around to the back of the house .He put a ladder against the wall and looked into the house through the glass window he could see his pregnant wife lying on the ground unconscious and helpless
"Oh my God, Jesus Christ!" He screamed as he ran back to his car to fetch the spare key .
"My wife my babies! Oh my God don't let them die! ."Smith gurgled as he ran back to the door ,he twisted the key, and burst into the room. "Baby please talk to me what happened to you baby?" He shook her, she slowly opened her eyes,she was bleeding from her neck, a deep gash on her stomach was dropping blood. "what happened?"
He asked as he scooped her up in his arms , and began to run downstairs,
She kept pointing to a direction of the bedroom, he put her down and ran into the room, he looked all over, but there was nothing or anyone there. Smith picked his wife up, clutched her to his chest and ran down to the car, he lay her down on the back sit
" He rush to open the gate!" he drove recklessly out of the house , at a top and reckless speed.
Jennifer was immediately taken to the ICU . "What happened to her ?" A doctor in a blue scrub asked, as the trolley bed was being rushed into the ICU. "I don't really know what happened sir, I stepped out to get her drugs and some provisions from the Shopping mall, I got so many calls, that I have to run back home." He said, Jennifer was so weak, her arms were hanging loosely by her side, she had lost so much blood already.
Three doctors and two nurses massed around Jennifer, Smith was asked to give two pine of blood, they began the transfusion and stitching, two hours later they were done.
"We need to run a scan to see if the mother and babies are okay."
A female doctor said . "Can we do that right away ?"Smith asked .
"No sir we need to let her rest , she has lost a lot of blood, she should be fine by tomorrow morning." the doctor said before leaving the room, the blood pressure machine was beeping as she slept .
Smith put a call to his parents to inform . "Good evening Dad." He said , when his father picked up the call . "My son how are you doing and why you calling by this time? Simon sounded on the phone like one who had been sleeping already "Am sorry dad for waking you up from sleep, it's just an emergency." Smith said.
"No my son , you shouldn't apologize."mr Simon said . "What's the issue son ?" Mr Simon asked with concern .
"Daddy I don't how to explain this, I had just gone to get some stuffs from a shopping mall, when I wasn't even there when I started getting barrages of Calls from Chisty , I had to drive back home when she didn't take my call , I saw her on the dloor , unconscious and covered in blood ." Smith said.
"What? Good riddance! who could have attacked her?" He asked . "Daddy I don't know who ." he said calmly.
"I and your mother will be coming to the hospital tomorrow to see your wife and the baby ."Mr Simon said, Jennifer opened her eyes. She heard her husband's conversation with his father,
though it was already too late for his parents to come to Leeds, she never want them to come at all, his dad promised that they'll be at the hospital the next morning.
"Why did you call your Dad? why did you ask him to come here?"
She asked her husband was confused and perplexed. "How do you expect me not tell my Dad?"
"Tell your father to stay away from me!" she hissed,
the injury on her neck hurt her so much, that she regretted speaking. Smith was surprised that his wife is against his parents coming around to see her, he just couldn't understand the rationale behind her assertion, he was adamant.
"Baby I already informed my parents, they promised to be here first thing tomorrow morning." Smith said calmly.
Jennifer who was still struggling to speak, just shook her head, as those hot tears flew down her face, she was too weak to speak.
"I don't -want your fa-ther anywhere close to me"
She said, the horror from that night replayed in her head,she shivered on the hospital bed.
"I don't want your -parents here." She stuttered .
"Why would you not want my parents to visit you baby ?
isn't that crazy ? Smith whispered to his wife , she couldn't reply him. "Tell your dad not to show up here please ." She said and turned her face from him and fixed it on the wall .
"Baby you know I cannot tell my parents that ? that's disrespectful, at least tell me a reason why you don't want to see my dad here?" Smith asked ,he was confused , Jennifer refused to say a word to him, she was thinking about the test that was fixed for the next morning , to know if her babies were still doing well , Smith sat next to his wife's bed ,she didn't reply to any of his question.
"Baby explain to me what's going on please, I want to understand what happened this evening while I went out to get you some drugs please the silence is killing me. All the injuries over your body what caused it? I didn't see anyone in the house nor the room you were laying when I checked it ." Smith continued talking .
"I told you not to leave me alone at home, I told you about the dreams you refused to be serious about it you didn't consider my safety and that if your babies,
how are you gonna believe if I tell you what attacked me would you then believe me?" She mumbled.
"Why not tell me and see if I'm gonna believe or not?" He said.
"I am not telling you anything Smith Simon leave me aloneI want to go to bed I need get some rest please ." She dozed off, leaving her husband with his thoughts, he sat like a hawk watching his wife sleep all night.
