Was it really your time?
"Please don't be sad now, I really believe, that you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me"
*still Vic’s POV*
I went back to the nursery that I have been working on for weeks. Jenna seeing this is supposed to be a happy day. She’s supposed to jump into my arms and kiss me like she never has before. How could this happen to us? All of this for nothing. All of this for a child who has a good chance of taking her away from me, from us. This is all too soon. I have to take these down. I have to. I started to unscrew all the furniture. Tears are started to fill up my eyes as the view gets blurrier.
“What are you doing?!” I turned to see Jenna standing at the door. “Stop! Victor Vincent Fuentes! If you don’t stop this instant I will beat your ass.” She grabbed my arm and cupped my face in his hands.
“This is just all too soon.” I said facing down. I can’t let Jenna see me like this. “I just don’t know what to do either. I can’t live without you. I can’t even pack my suitcase on my own without your help.” More tears fell down. “ I cant.. I.. I can’t accept that our story doesn’t have a happy ending.”
“Shh, Vic. Look at me. It already has the greatest ending.” She said wiping out my tears. Now we are both crying. “I’m gonna need you to be strong, okay? Be strong for me, for our babies. Nothing bad is gonna happen. And even if there is, you’re fine. You’re amazing with Quinn. You can raise them on your own. I just know it.”
“Okay, okay, just think about Quinn. Don’t even think about me. She’s too young for this. S-she’s too young to lose you. She’s..She’s too young to lose her mom. What do I tell her? W-what do I tell her, Jen..” I said just completely breaking down in front of her.
“Vic.. Vic.. Vic tell her all the great things about me, okay? Sing her the song I sang her every night. Tell her I sing her that song ever since I found out she’s in my tummy. Tell her our story.” She said in between sobs. ”Tell her I saved her little brother, like.. like her daddy saved me.” Jenna said.
“Jenna, please. I can’t save you from this.” I begged her. “I’ll do what you want. I’ll be a better man.”
“Listen, everything’s gonna be okay. I promise, okay?”
“Jenna, how do you think am I going to feel about a child that took you from us?”
“I don’t worry about that for a second. Because that’s not what you are. You are not that person. You are a good father, Vic.” She explained. “This baby, Vic, maybe he has a purpose. Like what I always say at concerts and shows, the universe doesn’t make mistakes. Maybe he’s going to change the world someday. Imagine him Vic. He’s gonna have your A5 high range or maybe even my G5. Does he have brown hair like Q? Vic, please.”
“Stop, I can’t. I can’t live without you.”
“You can’t think like that okay? Think about all the things that we’ve been through together. We can’t just let a doctor lay odds on us like that. We’re gonna survive this okay? And even if something does happen, you will never be alone. You have Mike, and Tony, and Jaime and Kellin and Alex and Jack and all our other friends. And just think bout that entire sexy single dad card you can play. “ She said smirking at me.
“Not funny.”
“I’m sorry it’s not funny.” She took two steps towards me. “Because I will haunt your ass to make sure you never have sex again.”
“How can you joke about this?” I asked. Then she started sobbing again.
“Because I’m scared. You are the one who taught me to believe in fate. That’s what the new album is all about right? Most of the songs on the album are for me or for Quinn. Maybe everything that we’ve shared has just been leading us to this. Maybe we were destined to create this life.”
I hugged her, tight and heartfelt. For a moment there we just hugged each other and cried in each other’s arms. “I love you so much.”
“Ouch.”
I pulled away, she’s hurt. “What? W-what’s wrong? Sit down I’m going to call an ambulance.”
“No wait.” She sat down on the arm chair and I kneeled down in front of her. She reached for my hand and put it on her tummy. “He’s kicking hard. Vic, do you feel that?” She said smiling at me.
I waited for a few moments and then I felt it; it’s so amazing to feel. “Yeah” I managed to smile weakly at the gesture.
“Hey,” She said, touching my face, “It is okay for you to love this baby. It doesn’t mean you don’t love me. We are going to survive this, all four of us, as a family. I’m doing this, Vic. I’m having this baby.”
“No.” I said. And she gave me a confused look. “WE. We are having this baby.” I said reassuringly. She leaned in for a kiss but I caught her lips first. This is our kiss. It’s long and passionate and so full of love. And in that moment, I knew everything would be okay.
*end of flashback*
A knock on the door broke my trance. It’s the doctor, she asked if she could talk to me alone so I got up and followed her out.
“Let’s take a walk Mr. Fuentes.” Dr. Fields said politely so I smiled back at her.
“Is my wife okay?” I went straight to the point. There’s no use in waiting. I have done that and it has put me into so much pain already.
“I’m not gonna lie Mr. Fuentes. Your wife is still in a dangerous position.” She said slowly.
“Wait, you said the last checkup that she’s doing fine?” I managed to say that calmly even though my anger is already rising above my chest.
“Yes, because that’s what we thought a month ago. We thought the placental position is going to progress but it hasn’t. It’s still blocking the baby’s way out and it is very dangerous because it might cause hemorrhage when the child comes out.” She pulled her glasses up and then spoke again, “If it doesn’t change last minute we’re gonna have to perform c-section on her and it might be hard to save both lives. We’re going to wait another hour and if there’s still no progress we’re gonna have to do it ”
My whole world is crashing down. “Where is she? I have to see her. “
“That’s where we’re going.” She smiled at me like everything’s going to be fine. She smiled at me as if saying ‘You might lost your family in an hour’ so here’s smile I hope it makes you feel better. God I hate doctors.
We got into the elevator and after a few minutes we reached the room where Jenna is. I held the door handle.
“This is the room Mr. Fuentes. Thank you for your time.” She turned and started to walk away.
“Doctor.” I called her out. “I never got your first name.”
“It’s Paige. Paige Fields.” She said half smiling at me.
“Paige, Jenna’s all I got.” Fuck I’m almost crying in front of the doctor. But I don’t care.
“Just try to relax, Vic. We’ll do everything that we can.”
Relax. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
"Come in!"
