SWNOVELS Chapter 85
D-Day
Klay's POV
I was staring at Kelly's photo while drinking alcohol. I was constantly clenching my jaws in anger. Her beautiful face and smile that kept on haunting my sleeping and waking hours. Her cries, I can hear it in my head. Her eyes, looking at me with rage and hatred, I can see it every single day. Every corner of this fcking house reminds me of her presence and how happy we we're.
Why can't I find her? A few months feels so fcking long without her. I'm going crazy. I wanna see her or I'll completely lose my mind.
She's my hope. She's my reason, I don't think I can function well without her. I feel like dying every single day. I can't last like this.
I balled my fists and tilted my head as I remember that I haven't seen Pierce Anderson from the photos that my private investigator has been sending me. I assigned someone to watch his family and for a few months, he's nowhere to be seen.
I have a huge hunch that he's the one hiding my girlfriend and once I see him, I will fcking torture him without mercy until he beg me to take his life.
"FCK YOU, ANDERSON!" I shouted and threw the bottle of alcohol. It crashed on the wall and created a loud noise.
You better run for your life, Pierce Anderson! I will not stop until I crush you to pulp, asshole!
***Kelly's POV
I'm sitting on the hospital bed while Pierce is cleaning the utensils we used for dinner. I feel comfortable now. I actually want to go back home but the doctor suggested that I stay here since it's just a matter of days until my delivery day. Pierce put some toothpaste on my toothbrush. He was about to help me up when the door swung open, My doctor smiled after seeing me.
1 just visited you before my duty ends. How are you feeling?"
"I feel fine, doctor. Though it's really heavy and sometimes my stomach hurts."
She smiled again and nodded. "It's normal since your due date is coming. Tomorrow morning you should take a walk. That's one of the things that can help you during the delivery."
Pierce was listening carefully to the doctor and she noticed it.
"I'm excited for the both of you. As a first time parent, have so much advice-to give you, that is if you're willing to take my advice."
I chuckled. "Of course, we want your advice, doctor."
She seemed excited because of what I said. "Well, let's just talk about that after your delivery. For now, focus on yourself. Oh, right! Having sex before the due date can also help you during the delivery."
My lips parted as I felt my cheeks heated. When I looked at Pierce, his neck was so red and he couldn't look my way.
1 cleared my throat and smiled at the doctor. "Thank you, doctor."
She held my hands. "Prayer is the strongest weapon, Kelly. Your life will be put at great risk during the delivery, but once you see your daughter, everything will be alright, So be strong and don't be scared."
The awkward silence remained even after my doctor left. Pierce helped me get in the toilet and just waited patiently behind the closed door. He also helped me go back to bed.
"Goodnight, Kelly," he whispered as he put a blanket on me.
I stared at him and gave him a small smile. "Goodnight Pierce,"
I took my doctor's advice. With Pierce's help, I decided to take a walk in front of the hospital. After a few minutes, I sat on the bench and Pierce sat beside me, I watched him when he suddenly left and when he came back, he gave me an ice cream.
The next day was the same. I would take a walk and Pierce is always there to accompany me. I really appreciate his help and all his effort. However, sometimes, I can't help but think about Lexi. I don't know about them but I know one thing, they're still together and even if I don't admit it, I felt bitter thinking about their relationship.
I was eating an apple while watching television inside the hospital room when I suddenly felt pain. I dropped the apple as I caressed my stomach and bit my bottom lip.
I think I'm...
My eyes widened when I realized I wet the bed, the same time a strong pain attacked me.
"AHHH!"
Pierce, who's sleeping peacefully, rose from the couch in shock and ran to me.
"Kelly, what's wrong-Oh! Shit!" He cupped his mouth and looked at me with a pale face after realizing my water bag broke.
Pierce immediately pressed the button beside the bed to call the doctor. He held my hand and stared at my face worriedly. "J-Just squeeze my hand if it hurts."
The door swung open, revealing my doctor. She immediately went to me and parted my legs. I bit my bottom lip as she checked me after wearing gloves.
"This is the beginning of labor," the doctor informed us. "It takes a few more hours before the delivery. Once you feel the contraction, call me again."
I nodded but Pierce shook his head and grabbed the doctor's arm. "Doctor, she screamed. And...and her water bag..."
The doctor smiled, "It's normal, Mr. Anderson. Don't worry, your wife will be fine. I'll just have the delivery room prepared."
"Pierce," I called Pierce and squeezed his hand when he attempted to stop the doctor again.
I smiled at him when he looked at me. "She's right. She always tells me things about pregnancy every checkup so I know when the baby is coming out."
He swallowed hard and nodded. "If you feel the contraction, tell me immediately okay?"
I smiled and nodded at him.
True to my doctor's words, it took several hours before the delivery. As soon as I felt-the contraction, informed Pierce and the doctor came with nurses. They brought me to the delivery room and Pierce didn't want to let go of my hand so the doctor and nurses had no choice but to let him in. I'm somehow relieved that he's with me, actually. The fear has somehow lessened because he's holding my hand.
It wasn't easy. Tears were rolling down my cheeks as screamed in pain. I was gripping Pierce's hand so

tight that I felt like I'm about to break every bone in his fingers. He was enduring my tight grip while. constantly wiping my tears.
I was so exhausted. I don't know how long I was screaming that night until I suddenly heard a loud cry.
My lips trembled as I slowly looked at the baby that the doctor was carrying. My tears continued rolling down my cheeks as my eyelids closed on their own. Before darkness fully consumed me, I heard Pierce panicking while telling the doctor about me losing consciousness.
