Diana

Chapter 291 - Thank you for not leaving me

After a few check ups on her, she was supposed to return to rest, but claimed she's okay, while the doctor assured Ethan that he didn't detect anything wrong. If she said she doesn't feel the need to rest more, then it's totally fine to move around.

After the doctors brief explanation on what Ethan had told her earlier about  the fetus condition, they helped her on the wheelchair.

"How do you feel?" the doctor asked after she's well seated on the wheelchair.

"I feel weird." Diana said.

"Weird in what way?" Ethan beat the doctor to it.

"You know, sitting on a wheelchair, can I cross my leg?" she asked, while they all chuckled.

The woman is a fun woman. No wonder the husband looked miserable, watching her not waking up. She looks like the type that one will surely feel her absence, when she's not around.

Those were the doctor and nurse's thoughts.

...

The door to the living room, where everyone was seated at specific corners opened and their head snapped towards the direction.

Seeing Diana staring at them, they all swung up on their feet and rushed towards her.

Seeing her mother, Diana's eyes widened, "mom." she called.

"Yes, it's me. Mom is here baby." Stella sobbed, as her hand caressed her face.

"Mom please stand up." Diana said, as Stella was kneeling in front of her, while Ethan, who still has his hand on the wheel handle, had his gaze locked on Diana.

He wants this to be over quickly. He wants her to rest and yes, have her to himself. He wouldn't have allowed her to come here, if not for the fact that these people are also waiting for her to wake up.

Diana still feels weak, but she forgot weakness at the sight before her. She smiled happily, as Alex moved closer and brushed his fingers in her hair, while Stella kissed her forehead.

Melanie held her hand, while Tony and Chris pat Ethan's shoulder, making him smile happily.

It was very overwhelming for her. She felt so happy, making her feel dizzy. She controls the urge to pass out, coupled with the fact that she's feeling nauseous.

"Oooough…." everyone froze as she made the sound.

"You okay?" Ethan asked with worry.

"Breathe. Take a deep breath." Melanie and Stella said at the same time.

"Should I call the doctor over?" Chris offered.

"It's fine. It's because of her pregnancy." Melanie said, while Stella was still asking Diana to control her breathing.

Diana felt weird, as she's not the type that puke. She doesn't like the feeling, but knew she had to get used to it anyway. She felt Ethan's hand reached for hers and took it. She realized she needed his touch the most.

Not being dramatic about it, the mood lightened up, as Stella and Melanie teased her. She blushed hard and Ethan face turned beat red as well.

It was supposed to be an emotional moment, where tears should be rolling, same as sentimental talks, but NO!

They don't want to think about the past, but appreciate the current moment. They are survivors.

Ethan asked them to all go and rest, while he helped Diana back to her room.

Picking her up from the chair, Diana chuckled softly, while Ethan slowly placed her on the bed, "are you okay?" he asked, as he arranged her hair and positioned her head well on the pillow.

"Mmmm mmm." she replied, gazing at him lovingly.

Ethan circle around the bed and got on her other side, tuck her into his arm, his hand caressing her tummy softly, while Diana's hand rested on his own.

"We're expecting a child." Diana muttered softly again. It still felt like a dream.

"Yes we are." Ethan snuggled closer and kissed her hair.

"When did my parents and yours get here? and where are we?" she asked.

"We're at my private island and they got here yesterday." Ethan replied.

"I'm so happy to see them. I've been waiting for this moment for a long while now." she said, feeling very happy.

"Everything will slowly fall into place baby. It will." he said.

Taking a deep breath, "how are you?" Diana asked. She's not blind and saw the dark circles and how lean he looked.

"I'm fine. You should rest, I will be here when you wake up." he said, holding the urge to just hug her tightly.

"I can't fall asleep. I'm overwhelmed by this entire thing." she confessed.

"Should I sing you a song?" he proposed, while Diana chuckled softly. She did feel weak, but it's bearable. It's something she's used to, so it's no big deal.

"Hmm what song do you have in mind?" she asked.

"Make the request, hopefully it's the one I know." Ethan said with a soft smile. Kissing her hair every now and then.

"A song to you?" Diana asked.

"I think I know that one." Ethan said.

"Yes!" Diana exclaimed happily, trying to act as lively as she can, to ease his mind and make him relax his nerves.

"I've been to so many places in my life and time.

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhythms.

I've acted out my life on stages

With ten thousand people watching

But we're alone now, and I'm singing this song to you."

Diana chuckled softly and breathed in and out, squeezing his hand softly.

"You taught me precious secret

Of a true love

You wanted nothing

You came out in front

When I was hiding

But now I'm so much better

If my words don't come together, listen to the melody

'Cause my love is in there hiding'

I love you in a place

Where there's no space or time

I live you for my life..."

Hearing her breathing softly, he could tell she's asleep and took a deep breath. "thank you for not leaving me." he muttered softly and kissed her hair.

"Thank you for waiting," he heard her say.

"You're not sleeping yet?" he asked.

"I'm getting drowned in the melody and your voice, not to the dreamland." she said, which earned her a soft chuckle.

"Should I continue?" he asked.

"You need to sleep as well." she said seriously.

"I will sleep, after you do." he replied, before touching her bump, "after you and her are sleeping soundly." he added.

"Seem you want a girl." Diana teased, since he's using 'she' as if he already knew the gender.

"I want two of you in my life," he said.

"I want two of you as well, what are we going to do about this now?" Diana teased again.

"I was the first to make the wish, you will have to wait for next time." he replied, not backing out.

"Hmm okay, I give up. What will you name her? 'IF' it's really a she." she said, emphasizing the 'if' because they aren't sure yet.

"Heidi? Emma? Alicia? Anabelle…" he kept coming up with female names, with uncertainty in his tone, while Diana chuckled.

"Pick one haha."

"I don't know which to pick. I need time to think… "

"Okay."

"What about you? You have any name in mind?" Ethan asked.

"If male, then yes."

"Let's forget it then." Ethan replied, while Diana chuckled, "you really don't want male?" she asked.

"I don't want to share you with the opposite gender for now." he said

"What! haha. It will be your flesh and blood, you know of that?"

"I'm well aware, but still didn't want to share. At least, not now." he replied.

"You selfish man."

"That's me haha… "

The two banter on and on, till Diana could feel that he has started talking like the man she used to know, before falling asleep, while Ethan did the same, both holding each other.
