My Ryan

The drive felt oddly slow for Mandy as her body wrecked in pain. Christian on the other hand was driving as fast as he could. He was worried and even as he put in his best, Mandy’s scream only grew louder.
“Oh fuck you. Hope on that breathe and drive the damn car,” she yelled at him, and when he turned to stare at her sitting in an odd manner while she had the Hem of her dress tire giving her space to spread her legs.
“I’m sorry,” he said and quickly turned his head to the road.
“Just hurry,” she said and continued with her air technique of breathing in and out…
They finally arrived at the hospital and Mandy was quickly placed on the bed and rushed into the labor room. Her clothes were changed already as she lay on the bed screaming in pain as she had been in labor for hours.
The contraction was getting stronger and she could feel the head crowning of the baby making her release a deep breath as she continued to push harder knowing it was almost there.
“One more time, Mrs. Reigns. Push,” the doctor instructed while she closed her eyes, shut her eyes, and let out a loud wail
The doctors and nurses rushed to her side. They helped her to deliver the baby, a beautiful little girl. They carried the infant and wrapped her in a towel, while she raised her head trying to see.
“It’s a girl,” she smiled and reached out her hands to her husband who kept pacing around the place, watching in devastation until the child was born.
“Christian,” she breathed out immediately. He held her hands, he kissed her sweaty face, and smiled brightly at her.
“I’m so proud of you,” he said and her heart leaped for joy…
“It’s a girl she said,” while the nurses handed her over to her for a brief second and then took her away to clean her up.
“She’s beautiful,” he added when the doctor came back to her.
“Are you ready?” He said and she stared confused..
“What do you mean?” She asked confused while Christian looked at him too.
“You are having another baby,”
“It’s twins. We are having two babies,” Christian said in excitement and gripped her hands tightly, smiling brightly while Mandy let out a tear of joy as she prepared herself for it.
She looked outside, noticing their families and friends who were there cheering for them. The joy in their eyes when they heard the information if it was possibly twins and she could tell why it was that way. She knew that even if they didn’t say it out loud, the male child was important to the Reigns family.
She screamed in pain as the doctors helped her in delivering the second baby. Christian whispered he loved you to her while holding her hands through the process and reassuring her he was going to be here for her.
“It’s a boy,” the doctor announced not with a tone like that of before but one that held sadness as he said them…
“We have a boy?” She looked at Christian who threw his hands up. I’m happy and super excited. Mandy smiled tiredly and watched him kiss her knuckles after the announcement, but the silence in the room made her worried.
“Why didn’t he cry?”
“Why isn’t he making a sound?” She looked at the nurses in the room and tried to sit up, but she felt pain around her…
“Someone answer me!” She screamed, noticing the silence and sadness that glistened in their eyes, and repeated I’m her head that nothing bad was going to happen while she stared across the glass window looking at the gaze of people who placed their hope on her.
“Answer her doctor,” Christian still held her hands looking at the doctor who nervously arranged his glasses before opening his mouth to speak.
“I’m sorry Mr. Reigns, but your son was birthed dead,” he said and instantly, he took his hands away from hers and stumbled backward, hitting his back and hitting the wall.
Mandy
“Liars,” I screamed like an insane person and immediately found the strength to sit on the bed. I ignored the cries coming from outside. I took my eyes away from the wailing Christian’s mom and refused solemnly to believe what I just heard.
“It wasn’t true,”
“It can’t be,” I told myself that. I repeated those words to myself like a mantra in my head while blocking the noise and chaos that happened around me.
“Give me my child. I want to hold him” I said and they looked at me like an insane person.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“You need to calm down ma’am. We are really sorry,” they said, fidgeting but who were they to tell me what to do, to give me a suggestion?
“Give me my child,” I screamed out…
“Mandy,” Christian called and walked up to me. I noticed his red eyes and the pain written all over his face and I hated that he agreed with them.
“Don’t believe them, it’s not true,” I pointed at the scared nurses.
“They killed our son. My child. My little baby,” I busted out in tears, and fell on the floor, while Christian fell on his knees, grabbing my hands and holding them as I wailed.
“It’s okay… It’s okay baby,” he said in a sad tone and I could hear the pain in his voice as he said those to me. He was fighting to stay sane for me, I could see it in his eyes but I didn’t know how to feel.
“My little baby,” I mumbled as my eyes folded with uncontrollable tears. I couldn’t stop them as they kept rushing down my eyes…
“Our son,” I sniffed as my voice came out shakily like I held my breath for a minute.
“My baby,” I added, feeling my chest rip out of my body, feeling the clouds around me darken, feeling like I was on the edge of a cliff.
“My Ryan,” I scream, recalling that was the name I chose if we were going to have a son.
But I would never get to call him that or to say it out loud.
“Oh my baby, I couldn’t even see him. I couldn’t even say hello. I didn’t even say I love you to him. I didn’t hear him breathe,” I muttered words as I continued to wail in Christian’s arms.
“It’s okay baby,” he whispered in my ears and helped me up… My legs wobbled and I rested on his body for support sobbing so badly, and crying my eyes out wishing this would just be a bad dream, a very bad dream
“And just maybe I’ll wake up from it and the clouds will be colorful again,” I thought to myself…
“Let’s go get you washed up,” he said and forced a smile on his face, and I felt my heart being ripped out. I felt like a failure…
I did fail. I failed as a daughter, I failed as a wife, and I failed as a mother too.
“I couldn’t protect him, I couldn’t..” I held my breath and said to Christian who looked at me sadly as he directed me carefully to the restroom…
