One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 26: I'm her husband

~~~Back up the day now, what did I do to get us to this point? Me losing you in this moment. I feel it, deep in my chest, I can't breathe. I can't let go, broken yet holding on to you, to us. This love is too strong for me to let go... broken yet holding on...~~~ -Roni Tran Binh Trong-

Samantha's POV:

"Hmm..."

"Sam?"

"Hmm?" I slowly opened my eyes when I recognized my best friend's voice, but she's not the first I saw but my husband who's wearing a serious expression

"Thank God, you're awake! Wait, I'm just going to call your doctor!" I turned to Jack who has the opposite expression of him.

And it's too late to ask her what happened as she got up immediately and ran to the door. Now I was left alone with Luke who's still staring at me. But the moment I opened my lips to ask him, he beat me with the same question I was going to ask. "What happened?" My mouth hung not knowing what to say or what to answer him. I didn't even understand what he meant.

"What do you mean what happened? I should ask you that---oh, my God! What happened to my baby?" My eyes widened as I started to feel panic and was about to get up but he instantly held my shoulders. "Where is my baby? What happened to her?" Tears blurring my vision.

It was only then that I remembered what happened this morning and the pain I felt in the car. And my tears fell as my hands automatically raised over my belly.

"She's fine!" The only words he uttered and suddenly a sigh of relief washed over me. I closed my eyes as light sobs continued to escape from my lips. I don't even know what to do if there's something happened to her. "You should have been careful!"

My eyes snapped open upon hearing what he had said. I looked at him confused.

"You know you're pregnant, you should have been careful of what you do! You're not in this situation if you didn't go out and stay home in those three days!"

I blinked repeatedly. My blood started to rise in my head due to anger. "Huh! Come again, what did you say?" I wiped my tears harshly and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"You should have stayed at home! I told you, Samantha, if something bad happened to my child---"
