Chapter 2 Complicated

Chapter 2 (Dying wish)

"I was at the door, when you guys were having the conversation, my dear I know is weird coming from me but there's no going back now," Mrs Fraser said

Amelia's expression changed, as she stared at her mom and then at the baby she was carrying, looking at how peacefully he was sleeping in her arms, she felt so bad for herself because she was hooked, so what if she had to suffer but not this innocent child

"But Mom, the father, and the family can protect and care for me, I see no point in having to do all of this," Amelia told her

It was like Amelia had no clue of what the situation was even though she could see it happening, Mrs Fraser thought

"Family and husband?Is either you're blind, Amelia, or you're a novice to what's going on here; your sister was in the hospital for three days, and did you see the so-called family or husband here? Did you? No, you didn't either did I, those people do not care about your sister or this child, so please Amelia wake up"She spoke from a mother's point of view

it turns out none of the Loughtry family had called nor bothered to check on Blair throughout her stay in the hospital, it was no longer news that the Loughtry family never liked Blair but on the stands by Fergus, their marriage happened but not visiting a woman who was carrying their

the child was the dead end for Mrs Fraser

"And so, really, have you ever thought about the gravity of what I'm about to do? Have you ever thought about how I would be able to navigate all of this? How will I Cope? Think about it Mom I know they are horrible people and they do not deserve to have this child but that is not enough it doesn't clarify that they won't care for him mom have you forgotten that I have something going on with Dennis How will I explain all of this to him how I tell him that I'm getting married to his brother barely after a week his wife died how will Fergus accept me as his new wife mom how will I be able to do all of this think about it it is so easy to point fingers at people when they make mistake but how will it change anything how" Amelia said trying to prove a whole different point to her

Continuing the conversation the nurse came and took the baby away from Amelia

"Here I'll take him, he needs to be over observations for now, if the doctor confirms it to you then you can take him home by tomorrow," The nurse said as she carefully and gently took the baby from Amelia

"I hope there's no complications nurse" Mrs Fraser asked with her facial expression being evidence that she was deeply concerned

Knowing she's only asking because she just lost a child she puts on a smile of assurance "No ma'am he's fine we just wanna make sure he's doing well before you can take him home and I'm sure that by tomorrow, he'll be going home with his grandma" she said in a comforting tone and went away.

Amelia places her hand on her mother's shoulder "I'm sure he will be just fine Mom, don't overthink it"

Amelia found herself overwhelmed with thoughts as she contemplated the profound impact a single day can have on a person's life. In the wake of her sister's tragic passing, she grappled with the daunting prospect of being coerced into marrying her late sister's husband. The situation felt surreal, akin to a nightmarish ordeal, leaving her uncertain about the future that lay ahead.

" If only your father was alive, at least he would have stood up for us but there's no one, these people have always made us feel by doing a huge favor to us by marrying our daughter "As tears streamed down her face, she uttered, "I can't hold back my emotions any longer,mom I really confused, what will I do?."

As Amelia pulled her mom into a comforting hug, she couldn't help but wonder if her concerns made her seem selfish. She pondered whether she should make more of an effort to understand her mom's worries. However, Amelia also couldn't shake the feeling that perhaps the dangers her sister was concerned about were even more significant than she had realized.

"Everything is going to be fine please don't cry Mom," She said

The doctor, a tall man in a white coat with a stethoscope around his neck, steps out from his office and approaches Mrs. Fraser and Amelia with a warm smile "Ma'am once again I'm sorry about the loss but we need to prepare a death certificate for the deceased and we would like to get her husband's signature" he gently told them.

"Death certificate? deceased? The cavernous chamber resonated with the baritone timbre of the man's voice, which emanated shock and fear. His visage conveyed a complex mix of doubt and astonishment as if struggling to comprehend the situation unfolding before him.

Amelia and Mrs. Fraser were both taken aback, their gazes fixed in the direction from which the voice had come. There, standing before them, was Fergus Loughtry, the husband of Blair, and the man who had left his pregnant wife alone in the hospital for three long days.

In Amelia's thoughts, she couldn't shake the memory of Fergus' unwavering love for Blair. He had always been there for her, never letting her face any challenge alone. It was Fergus' deep love for Blair and his incredible compassion towards her sister that initially drew Amelia to Dennis. However, she couldn't understand what could have caused Fergus to abandon Blair when she needed him the most. What could have happened?

Mrs. Fraser's countenance shifted dramatically as she realized the person's identity. Her face contorted with a mix of disappointment and simmering anger.
