The Addiction Series

He walked in to his room with his sister trailing behind, not even once did his eyes leave her face through the whole journey. He placed her on the bed carefully cause at this moment in his eyes she was like a beautiful piece of glass. Stephanie sat on the other side of the bed with the first aid kit that she managed to get from her room after seeing her brother get out of the car with Larissa. She placed the kit on the bed and stood up again "I will go call the doctor" she whispered but Gaetano didn't even seem to have heard her and she understood.

He just kept staring at Larissa, he wasn't thinking anymore but kept waiting for her to open her beautiful silver eyes and look at him lovingly. He was waiting for her to wake up and whisper his name, he just loved the way it rolled off her tongue exposing her accent.

"You love her, don't you?" Stephanie asked from the doorway, he didn't even bother to turn back and see his baby sister. He just replied with a simple "Yes" and she smiled.

"Am still wondering why she didn't even bother to tell me all this, she would have asked Gianni to inform me. I would have held a gun for her so that her beautiful hands would remain clean " he added.

To be sincere he had a multi million questions but the person to answer them wasn't awake yet. He stood up and turned around towards Stephanie and the door way.

"Please would you clean her up for me and dress her up in any of my shirts, I have some things to take care of " he spoke up and Stephanie nodded then stepped out of his way allowing him to walk out. She walked over to Larissa and started to clean her wounds, she cleaned her body too with a hot soaked towel and then changed her clothes as Gaetano had asked her too.

Stephanie stood up and finally left the room.

Gaetano sat in his office it didn't matter to him what papers he was supposed to work on, all his mind and thoughts were on Larissa. He breathed out a sigh and stood up from his office chair.

He grabbed a few files that needed his time and his pen then walked out of the office room to the opposite room across the hallway that he had marked as his. He walked over to the black couch that was facing the bed and placed the files on a small table in front of it. His eyes landed on her face one more time just as the doctor was led in by Stephanie.

"Sorry Mr. Gaetano something caught me up" he stared at the old man with a bald head and shook his head

"No it's fine" he replied then turned around and walked out of the room to the kitchen down stairs. His words had lessened just like the first time he met her.

He walked in to the kitchen and stood in front of the counter. He wanted a cup of coffee, but he didn't even know where to start from.

Memories of when she used to come in to his office back at the club came rushing back. He remember that even there love started from that club. He knew she was going to be okay but somehow he couldn't control the worry and sadness within his heart.

He heard Stephanie scream a 'No' and his heart stopped beating that moment.

He didn't waste a minute before running out of the kitchen and taking the stairs so fast skipping two at time then down the hall until he was standing in the door way of his bedroom. Stephanie sat on bed sobbing while the doctor continued to check her heart beat one more time before removing the stethoscope and placing it in his black bag that he had carried along.

"What's going on here?" He firm tone grabbed both his sister and the doctor's attention. His was curious with panic

They both turned around and looked at him

"Am sorry to say this sir but she drifted into Coma and according to the fact that she's pregnant, I would request you admit her into a hospital" the doctor spoke up.

The word pregnant got him freezing with doubt, he wondered if Sergio had touched her but decided to first push all those thoughts away

Gaetano opened his mouth and whispered the one and only the thing that he had captured his attention most from the doctor's words " pregnant, how long?" He questioned looking up at the doctor and waiting patiently for an answer.

"Two weeks " he replied and Gaetano smiled with relief and a sigh, if Larissa had been gone for only one and a half weeks that meant that the child was his.

He stared back at the doctor remembering that she was now in a coma.

"Doctor Andres I would prefer to hire the equipment and a nurse, would it be okay if she took the treatment from here " He questioned and the doctor nodded.

"Mr. Gaetano I would do the paperwork for you" and with that the doctor was out of the room.

He walked over to her and leaned over kissing her forehead, he stood up straight and looked over at Stephanie. "Would you stop crying and make me a cup of coffee?" The calmness in his voice made Stephanie look up at him "But.." She started only to be cut off with his words

"Stephanie, My Larissa is a fighter, I don't think she will be giving up yet" he replied her unfinished sentence and she nodded rubbing away her tears. She stared at her brother one more time before walking out of the room. 'I hope am right Larissa, you won't stop fighting' he thought to himself before turning away from her face to walk away but a hand wrapped around his wrist pulling him to a stop.
