Emma had a weird feeling, this dizziness and nausea was too intense to ignore...it was becoming unbearable, after work, she drove to the university hospital for a check up. Maybe she ate something bad... Or due to bad weather.
" Mrs Qinn, it doesn't seem like food poisoning or anything, I suggest you take a pregnancy test."
The doctor said.
" A pregnancy test?." Emma widened her eyes shockingly, her heart rapidly racing inside her chest, ' no, she can't be pregnant... she's not supposed to get pregnant, how can she be so careless and reckless? They only had sex for the third time without using protection, that time in the car...in his office, and... two weeks ago. ' f*ck " . Emma cursed silently.
" This way, Ms." A nurse came in, escorting her to the testing room. The only way to be sure for sure, is taking the test. The doctor did the test, she waited for a few minutes for the results to be ready. She was anxious through out, she wasn't ready for this, she wasn't sure what to do if those results comes out negative. Laura is already expecting his child, and she could see he wasn't thrilled about the news, he will be more displeased when he finds out she's pregnant too. Emma prayed to the gods that the results come out negative, a few minutes later, the doctor came in holding the results in her hand, she didn't give away any reaction. Emma didn't know whether it was good or bad.
" What is it doctor? What do the results say?." Her heart skipped a beat.
" Mrs Qinn, if you don't mind, I would like to do some further tests on you."
Emma frowned staring at the doctor confusingly.
" Why further tests doctor? Something wrong with the results?."
" Just a simple procedure, may I?." Emma nodded lying back down, she went through other tests...which were weird to her because she didn't think they concerned whether she was pregnant or not, a while later, she was finally done with all of the tests. The doctor asked her to come to her office while they wait for the results.
" You're scaring me doctor, is something wrong with me?." Emma was beginning to panic.
" When did you start having these dizziness and nausea?." She asked instead.
" Two days now."
" Have you been experiencing anything else other than that?."
" Well, I do get panic attacks time to time, I also have allergies... that's it." She explained. The nurse came in with the results... handing them to the doctor and walked out.. closing the door behind her.
" Mrs Qinn, I have good and bad news for you, I want you to strong for me."
" You're scaring me doctor." Emma's eyes looked worried and terrified. She sighs giving her the two results on different sheets.
" The good news is that, you're pregnant, and the bad news is that, you have a brain tumor, it's quite advanced... and has managed to spread."
" W...wha... what? Brain tumor?." Her eyes swelled up, tears rolling down her eyes as she stared at the results and brain scan, ' does this mean she's gonna die soon? Is she going to die?' she shook her head unbelievably .
" I know this is hard to accept, what Surprises me is that you haven't been experiencing any signs or symptoms... it's quite weird." She said.
" N...no, I can't have cancer doctor, I feel fine..I ...I, they must be a mistake." Emma looked into her eyes, begging to tell her that it's nothing but a mistake, an error that occured.
" I know it's hard to accept, but I suggest you start the necessary treatment and surgery to be able to remove the tumor, with it's advance...it will be hard, but with a professional Surgeon... They must be able to help." She told her. Emma hesitantly grabbed the results, running out... feeling helpless, she went to her car, going inside and shutting the door.
" Ahhh....
She screamed out, hitting the car wheel, crying out like a helpless child. What was the use of living when she's gonna die in a few months or less. Starting the engine, she drove at high speed.. not caring if she hits into another car or tree.
She kept driving, through the highway to the New York bridge, her eyes were filled with tears...she couldn't see clearly, and her vision was getting blurry. She didn't notice a big truck coming and went crashing Into it, her car flipped over... badly damaged. She lost consciousness at the spot.
She was rushed to the hospital, blood oozed down from the sides of her head, she was badly wounded and was losing a lot of blood. She was rushed into the emergency room to be operated on, she broke one of her arm in the accident... twisting it.
The doctors were able to stop the bleeding by bandaging it up and operating on her arm, she was then transferred to the resting ward for full recovery. The hospital informed her family and husband about the accident, Alec was the first one to arrive with Aron... He approached the receptionist desk to inquire about Emma.
" My wife, Emma Rose Anderson."
" Straight, room 401... second door to your left."
He rushed through the hallway, praying she was okay and nothing serious happened to her.
" Mr Qinn!."
He halted looking back, it was the doctor, she approached him stopping in front of him. " May I have a word with you, it's quite important?." She calmly said.
" Can it wait, doctor, I'm rushing to see my wife." He creased his brows.
" It's a quite delicate matter concerning Mrs Qinn, it's important I talk to you now, we can talk in my office." She says leading the way, Alec stared at the room Emma was in for a while... before following the doctor, she closed the door... offering him to take a seat.
" What's wrong with my wife, doctor?." His voice was low and cold, he looked dead serious not to beat around the bush with, with a sigh... she got straight into the matter.
" Mrs Qinn, was here earlier before the accident, she wasn't feeling to well for a couple of days so she came for a check up."
" A few days?." Alec frowned unknowingly, how would he know? He's been busy with work and attending to Laura, he comes home late and wouldn't know whether his little lamb ate or not, whether she was well or unwell. Whether she's been stressed or not, he's completely neglected her.
" I suggested she takes a pregnancy test, and the results came out positive." His eyes slightly widened, not knowing how to react to the matter.
" S... she's pregnant?."
" It gets worse, while I was doing some other tests on her, I found something unusual in her blood, I looked further into it and it turned out she has a brain tumor, it's pretty advanced."
" Are you saying, my wife's gonna die, doctor?." His voice thundered, he was calm on how he spoke... But she could hear the rumbling of thunder to it.
" Mr Qinn, I suggest your wife gets special treatment from a well experienced doctor.. who's specialized in this kind of cancer." She told him, Alec gave a stiff sigh, he stood to go and see Emma.
Alec sat on her bedside, his cold fingertips caressing her cheek.
" You amuse me, little lamb...two weeks ago, I hated the fact that I'm going to a Dad, I wasn't ready.. still am, but knowing you're pregnant with my son, I feel like I want to have it with you... I feel like I want to be a father." He gave a dry chuckle shaking his head, he too couldn't believe his own words he was spouting out, he holds her little hand in his firmly. " I promise to be there for you, and my two kids, but you have to promise me right now, Emma.... That you'll stay strong for me until I find a good doctor, I will go to the ends of the world for you, I promise." He kissed her forehead.
