Chapter 4 Cops

Chapter 4

Sunshine Carter POV

My whole world came crumbling down before my very eyes as the day I'd always been scared of was right here in front of me.

My heart wrenched painfully and I felt my eyes glistened with tears. I was mad. So mad, but it was at myself. I was mad at myself for still loving him even after many years and all the pain he had caused me, I hated that my heart still beat for him, I hated myself so much that I failed in getting him on my bad side after everything.

"Sunshine..." He took a step close to me, but I stepped away from him and shook my head.

"Don't...come close," my voice came out weakly.

Looking into his eyes, all I saw was excitement which had me questioning myself if this was really Rayne. The last time I checked, Rayne was one person who hated me so much, he resented me as if I had done something terrible to him, and seeing him excited right now was confusing and alarming.

He looked back at Raymond on the bed, his face laced with confusion.

"Stay away from my son, Rayne... Stay away from him," I rushed over to shield my son as if he was going to do something to him.

His mouth dropped open for some reason best known to him which I could only care less about.

"Leave... Leave here this minute, Rayne," I tried hard to fight back my tears as I yelled at him not minding that my son was still resting and could actually be disturbed.

"Sunshine..."

"I told you to leave, Rayne. Get out!" I yelled at him again and he glanced at Raymond before he finally walked out of the ward. I broke down in tears as I sank my fingers into my hair. This is not good... This is really bad. I didn't want to meet him, not now that I haven't been able to get rid of my feelings for him.

"We need to leave here... We need to leave," I muttered and without thinking twice, took Raymond's hand and removed the IV bag in it. I picked him up in my arms and dashed out of the ward. I knew deep inside me that I was putting my son's life on the line, but I was scared. I was scared Rayne would take him away from me when he found out that this boy was his son, I was scared of being left alone after he took my son from me, I was scared of losing my only happiness.

My body trembled as I advanced toward the door and when I stepped out of the ward, Patty rushed over to me.

"Ma'am, what are you doing? Where are you taking Raymond? He is not fine yet," She blocked my way and said worriedly.

"We need to get out of here, Patty. I need to take my son away from..."

"You can't do that, ma'am. He is not yet fine," Patty tried to stop me and as we argued, a few nurses gathered around.

"What are you doing, Ms? You can't take the boy away. He is not..."

"He is my son... You all should stay away from me. I'm taking my son away from this hospital..." I yelled at the top of my voice and they all flinched. At that moment, the only thing on my mind was to take my baby away. Nothing else mattered to me.

"What are you doing, Ms Carter?" Came the familiar voice I would always recognize even in my deep sleep. My heart missed a beat and I swallowed nothing as I turned to find Rayne walking toward me.

"Don't come close to me... I told you to stay away from me and my son... Don't come close," I threatened him as I took a few steps back.

"What are you doing with the boy? He is still..."

"I know what you are up to... You want to take my son away from me... You want to take my baby away from me. It's not going to work. I won't ever allow that!" It felt like I was being controlled by something, as if my body and mind were not mine anymore. My emotions had kicked in and I allowed it to take over me completely. The nurses and everyone were staring at me as if I had lost my mind and even though I knew what I was doing wasn't right, but I could only care less.

"I'm not going to take your son away from you, Ms. Carter. Can you please give the boy to me? You are going to hurt him if you keep being like this," Rayne tried to come close to me but I stepped back and shook my head.

"Don't come close to me, Rayne. I'm going to kill you if you dare come close to me... I'm really going to kill you, I swear," Deep inside me I knew I could never do that. I didn't have the guts to do that, but who knows, maybe he would listen to me if I threatened him.

"I don't want my son to be treated here anymore... I want to take my son to another hospital..."

"Patients can only be discharged with the Doctor's approval and since I've not approved it, you can't take him away," He was right with what he said but who said that I was going to listen to him?

"I'm going to call the cops on you if you keep being stubborn, Ms. Carter... And if anything should happen to the boy, I will make sure that you are held responsible for it and will be punished according to the law. I will make sure of that..." He looked me dead in the eyes and uttered those words coldly.

"Now, hand me the boy," He demanded, and my heart missed a beat. Is he going to take my baby away?

"I will call the cops on you if you don't hand me the child, Ms. Carter," He threatened, and my jaw dropped to the ground. I didn't know whether to give him the baby or if I should stand by my decision to leave the hospital...
