AT THE HOSPITAL
Tristan parked his car and gently lifted Tyra out of the car. He placed her feet's back on the ground and locked the car. He gently lead her into the hospital and called for the nurse. Two nurses came with a stretcher and they played Tyra on it.
"Don't worry babe, you're gonna be alright, you'll get through this." Tristan assured her as the nurses rolled her into the labour room.
"Babe,BABE! TYRA!!!"Tristan shouted trying to break into the labour room as the nurses and doctors were trying to obstruct him.
"This is a restricted area!" The doctor growled and they succeeded in pushing him away from the labour room.
Deep down in Tristan's heart, he could hear the moaning and groaning of Tyra due to the pain she was feeling. He went over and sat down on one of the set of chairs arranged in front of the labour room, hoping and praying that his wife and the baby would be alright.
*****************************
Few hours later,
"How is she?" Tristan asked, standing up from his seat when the doctor came out from the labour room.
"She is alright. She gave birth to a girl, however she needs a lot of rest."The doctor explained and cleaned the sweat dripping from her face.
"Thanks doc, can I go see her now?" Tristan asked. Gawd! He was already missing her.
"She has been transferred to a regular ward so, yeah, you can go see her. She's in ward 118. You'll find it up the stairs and after two wards in the left hallway". She explained
"Thanks a lot, doc!" Tristan appreciated and ran to the stairs. Gosh! How do they transfer their patients to a ward?
Tristan reached the top of the stairs and went to the third ward in the left hallway. He opened the door a little, peeped in and saw Tyra sleeping peacefully on the bed. He entered into the ward, closed the door, went over to her and kissed her forehead.
"I missed you babe, even though it is just some few hours that I didn't see your face." He confessed and carassed her forehead. He sighted a couch directly opposite the bed. He went over and sat on it, waiting patiently for Tyra to wake up.
**********************************
Few minutes later,
"Tristan?" Tyra called sleepily as she turned her face towards the couch on which he sat on.
"Babe? Tyra, you're awake!" Tristan exclaimed and sprang up from the couch and ran over to her.
"Babe, how are you? Are you feeling well?" He asked her and held her hands.
"I'm alright. What of the baby?" She asked him. Suddenly, the door opened and a 5 feet tall lady with curly hair, milky skin, blue eyes and a pink lip came in with a baby wrapped in a while linen.
"Hi, my name is Hazel Rogers. I'm a nurse and I work in this hospital. I came to bring Mrs Pierce pup and I think I'm right in time." The nurse explained and closed the door.
"Yeah, we know you're a nurse. Your dazzling uniform tells us so." Tristan said.
"My baby!" Tyra wailed and Hazel came over to her.
"My poor baby!" She cried as she carried her baby from her.
"Congratulations Mrs Pierce, you gave birth to a girl. We didn't get to tell you because you passed out." Hazel explained
"She's beautiful and looks just like her dad" Tyra praised the sleeping pup on her hand
"No babe, she looks just like you. Like the pretty damsel I met 4 years ago." He cooked her
"No, she looked like you" Tyra protested
"She looks more like you!" Tristan protested
"Okay, okay!" Hazel brought their attention to her. "Enough with the who-looks-like-you
debate. Mrs Pierce, you're gonna be discharged tomorrow. You still need a lot of rest to regain your strength back." She said and left the ward.
".....then, I'm gonna stay with you" Tristan blurted and went over to the couch.
"What do you mean?" Tyra asked with a puzzled look.
"I'm gonna stay with you through out the night until you're discharged." He continued
"Thank you babe." She appreciated
"You're welcome." He replied her and gave her a flying kiss.
"Tristan, you know quite well that we have been owing Mr Dylan McKenzie and he will not leave our tracks until we pay him back." She reminded him.
"Oh, about that!" He huffed and continued
"Tyra, I think we should go ask him to give us more time."
"But Babe, we've done that already and he said next time, he won't give us another chance."
"You know what babe, just forget about that stuff, we will figure that out later. Right now, we should be celebrating because you're now a mother, besides, you need enough rest because you are gonna be discharged tomorrow." He said then went over to her.
"Everything is gonna be alright." He assured her, hugged her and kissed her temple.
"Gosh! The pup is so cute, she looks just like her mom". He admired the baby in her hands and smirked at her.
"Not this argument again!" She wailed and gave a heavy sigh.
"I like it when you give this attitude." He sneered and pecked her on her cheek. Suddenly the door opened and Hazel came in.
"Sorry for invading into your privacy." Hazel apologized after witnessing the scene in front of her.
"Did you forget something?" Tristan asked her.
"No. I think the time you have spent with the baby is enough. I need to take her to the baby caring center." She replied him. Tristan gave a questioning look to Tyra in which she gave him a go-ahead gesture by nodding her head.
"Okay, fine. You can take the baby the... whatever you call that place...." He huffed and looked towards Tyra "....as long as it makes you happy." He purred and smiled at her.
"Babe!" She chided and blushed. He carried the baby from her hands the went over to Hazel and she carefully carried the pup from his hands.
"Miss you pup. I'll see you tomorrow". He said to the baby in a low tone that even Hazel could hardly hear him and he admired the little sleeping beauty on the nurse's hands.
"I have to take my leave now" Hazel announced and excused herself.
"Well babe....." He drawled and turned to her.
"I think it's time for you to go to your own caring center". He continued as he went over to her.
"What do you mean?" Tyra asked.
"Hang on! Don't tell me that's what you're thinking about." She continued.
"It's not that." He answered and chuckled then kissed her.
"I mean your dream land. It's already getting late and you need to get some rest." He continued and rose his left wrist up to his face so as to check the time in his face so as to check the time on his blue coloured wrist watch.
"It's already 6:00 pm." He said as he walked towards the couch and fell on it.
"Good night babe, love you!" He said groggily.
"Good night babe and love you too!" She replied him then laid her head on the bed and in few seconds, she was surrounded by her world of dreams.
