My five husbands by Loren rivera (good english books to read .TXT) 📕

            After waiting for one more hour, the doctors came out of the cabin. The guys rushed towards the doctor and asked him questions. 

Daniel: What happened? 

Joseph: Is she alright? 

Shawn: The baby? 

Doctor: I have good news and bad news. 

James: What?

Doctor: The mother is alright but....

Ron: But what doctor? 

Doctor: Your wife was pregnant with twins actually dyzygotic twins. There were two embryos planted in her body. One embryo was completely punctured and that was the reason for bleeding. So, we removed one embryo from her body cause if we hadn't, that would be harmful to the other embryo and your wife.

Ron: So, now everything is fine? 

Doctor: We require a blood donor as soon as we reach the shore. We don't have the required machine here and she has lost a lot of blood. And arrange for the blood. 

James: But none of us are O negative. 

Daniel: Okay, I will call luca and tell him to arrange for the blood. He will deal with that until we reach. 

Joseph: Can we meet her now? 

Doctor: Not all of you at once but you can go one by one. She has to rest and do not crowd the room. 

James: Okay. 

             The brothers looked at each other and thought who should go first inside? The first one would be the one to tell her about the baby they lost. No one wanted to give the horrific news to her. 

Daniel: I don't think we should tell her about the lost baby now. She is not ready for that trauma. It is not good for her in this condition. 

James: I agree with Daniel. We will tell her once everything is under control. 

           The others too agreed. The brothers were also devastated with the news of their one baby dying but they knew how to hide their emotions in front of everyone, especially Daniel. They can cry later behind closed doors. So, Daniel was the first one to go in. 

            When he saw nora,his breath hitched in his throat. She was bandaged from the waist down. Her whole body was covered in small bandages here and there. He went and sat beside her on her bed carefully so as not to disturb her space. 

Daniel: Sweetie? 

Nora: Daniel... is the baby? 

Daniel: The baby is alright.

Nora: Thank god. But then why do you sound so sad?

Daniel: Oh umm.. my wound hurts.

Nora: Oh my God, should I call the doctor? 

Daniel: No,no, it's just a slight pain. 

Nora: Okay. 

             Nora's mind went elsewhere and she was tensing about something. Daniel sensed her tension. 

Daniel: Sweetie, is something wrong? 

           Nora had tears in her eyes and was blubbering something inaudible. Daniel hugged her upper body and helped her calm down.

Daniel: Sweetie, calm down and tell me what is on your mind?

Nora: He doesn't love me now...

Daniel: Who? Who doesn't love you? 

Nora: Joseph...

Daniel: No sweetie, he loves you just as much as he did before if not more.

Nora: No, he is disgusted by me. 

Daniel: No, he is not. Who told you this bullshit? 

Nora: I saw the way he looked at me when he saw me. He doesn't want me now after what John did to me. 

Daniel: No sweetie, I am sure its nothing like that. Please, stop crying, sweetie. 

Nora: Do you still love me like you did before?

Daniel: What kind of question is that? I love you more than I did before. My love for you increases with every second. 

Nora: Even with the scars and marks. 

Daniel: Even with the scars.

            Nora hugged daniel tighter. Daniel hissed a little because of his wound but still didn't stop her. 

Nora: I love you, Daniel. 

Daniel: I love you more, sweetie. 

             When Daniel left the room, james went in. Daniel looked for Joseph but couldn't find him. He found him on the deck drinking whiskey. 

            He took the bottle from his hand and threw it on the floor. He gave him a hard slap on his face that Joseph fell down because of the tipsiness and the force. 

Joseph: What the fuck? Are you crazy? 

Daniel: Here you are drinking and there she is crying because of you. 

Joseph: What? Why is my love crying? What did I do? 

Daniel: Are you disgusted by her? 

Joseph: What? Are you fucking with me right now? Why would be I disgusted by my love? 

Daniel: Well, she thinks that you don't love her because of her scars and Marks? She saw the look you give her or something. 

Joseph: No,no,no, I was disgusted by the people who gave her that marks. When I saw those scars, I was disgusted by the fact that what those bastards made her go through. You know I love her more than anything, I can never be disgusted by her. 

Daniel: Well, I know that but she doesn't. She has been through a lot brother. The things I saw them do to her would give me nightmares but she had to go through it. She fought hard for us even in her fragile state. 

Joseph: I know, I saw the scars and knew that she has been through hell. 

Daniel: I know why you were drinking. You always do that.

Joseph: I cannot cry now, but atleast I can drown my pain in the bottle. I know, atleast our one child is safe, but we still lost one. And that too at the hands of a fucker.

Daniel: Yeah, I might need a bottle for myself. We will organize a funeral for our baby when we are ready to tell nora. His/her death will be avenged. 

Joseph: Yeah, I will go talk to my Love before she sheds any more tears . 

            Joseph ran towards the cabin pushing everyone aside. And went inside. James was still inside left the room when Joseph signalled him to. 

Joseph: I know you just had surgery but are you crazy? Maybe it was the drugs that made your brain go haywire.  How can you ever think that I don't love you? 

Nora: I..I..thought.. 

Joseph: Speak love. 

            Joseph knelt beside her bed and took her hand in his and kissed her palm.
