Chapter 3 Outburst

Chapter 3(Dying wish)

"What are you doing here? Mrs Fraser asked in a raging voice, what have you come to do here?

Fergus understood why she was acting that way, he ignored her and went close to the doctor

"What happened to my wife Blair and where is she"?he asked almost in mist of tears and pains

The doctor placed his right hand on the left side of his shoulder and told him calmly

" She had complications during the pregnancy and she was unable to make it but the baby is in good health," he told him, Fergus stood dumbfounded and stunned for what was seconds but felt like ages to me he had gone for a business meeting leaving his wife in the care of his family but they let such happen, he felt betrayed by them as he was lost in his thoughts when the doctor demanded the husband in his office to sign the necessary documents, Fergus was about to walk in when Mrs. Fraser held him back.

" Now where do you think you're going, you have no right to be a husband, after what you and your despicable family put my daughter into," Mrs. Fraser said still holding onto his arm

The doctor, oblivious to the unfolding tension, found himself caught in the crossfire of a brewing family dispute; sensing the charged atmosphere, he tactfully urged the husband of Blair Loughtry to join him at his office; he quietly retreated into his office, seeking refuge from the storm of emotions swirling around him.

Amelia noticed how everyone was staring at the scene created by her mother, she went close to her and gently removed the grip she had on him and signaled her that everyone was looking at them, at she should let him go, she stares around feeling a little embarrassed she left go, Fergus not saying anything quietly moved into the doctor's office.

The next morning the nurse walked into the baby's ward greeted Mrs Fraser and Amelia with a smile and said "He's fine and healthy enough for him to take him home

Mrs Fraser was happy to hear that her grandson would finally be coming home with him; with their faces full of smiles, they thanked her as she walked away.

Amelia was arranging their stuff, getting the baby's things ready for departure, Fergus walked inside, Amelia raised her head and saw him, she released a gentle smile which died almost immediately, she indeed felt bad for him, and without returning the smile she had given him when he walked in he said

"I have settled the bills, with the doctor and you can tell Mrs. Fraser that there would be no need she worrying herself over the bills," he said

Amelia only lifted a gentle smile she died immediately as she waved her head in response to what he had just said, he was about to walk away when she told him in a gentle tone

"Hey listen I know you are equally hurt just like every one of us and I can't just get out of my head even if I want to I know you did love my sister with everything in you but I just can't get over the fact that you were not here when she needed you the most you needed to see the pains in her eyes and just how much she wanted you to be by her side and support her through everything you were not here and I do not know why but feel like you people did not treat my sister the way you should but if I do know it's you were kind and lovely towards her so please do not mind my mom I think she is just being a mom maybe she's a reacting but I know you did love my sister so much," She told as she could see the pain in his eyes.

Fergus smiled at her" Amelia thank you so much for being understanding and not judgmental but I'm not affected by your mother's reaction because she has every right to react the way she did and what my family did to your sister and my wife was horrible not even an outsider should be treated that way and I assure you I will address this issue the way it's supposed to be I wasn't here and they left my wife all alone so please I understand why your mother is the way she is because if I were to be in her shoes I would get my family and I arrested for negation" he told her and without waiting for her response he walked away.

A MONTH LATER

Today, the 15th of November, is Blair's memorial service. The priest prays over her body and she's put to rest. Everyone pays their final respects as they make their way to Mrs Fraser's house from the cemetery.

Amelia is in the kitchen as she is cleaning up the things that were used to serve the visitors that had come for Blair's condolence visits she hears a gentle rock at the door she turns around and sees Dennis standing at the door she looks at him and breathes out in pain and despair he knows that she's in immense pain and sadness over her sister's demise as he comes close to her his spreads out his arms and in a gentle and concerning voice he told her to come

"Hey love, come here" She lifted a gentle smile and rushed to his embrace she started crying as he put his hands around her consoling her while stroking her hair and telling her everything would be fine just then they heard a noise and the hall as he seems that Mrs Fraser was arguing with someone she pulls out from his embrace as the two of them and anxiety and curiosity rushes towards the hall to find out who was behind the noise in the hall downstairs.
