120 Reunion (2/2)
.....
”I have done what I can.... it's all up to you.”
Olivia rubbed her eyes, as a horrid disinfectant smell assualted her nose.”Sakura?” She said as she tried to focus her vision. She heard a moan to the left of her and was instantly on alert. She tried to sit up but found the two arms were pinning her down. ”It's hard to breath.” She shouted making both arms pull back instantly. ”I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!” Loreley started to cry as she hugged herself while Laila jumped onto Olivia's neck and just cried. ”Nurse! She's awake! We need to call the nurse!” Loreley shouted in a trembling voice as she let go of herself and reached out for the call button.
”Where am I?” She said as she hugged Laila, trying to comfort her. ”At my uncle's hospital.” A husky voice said from the side of the room. Olivia quickly looked around and on the window ledge sat Eli, grinning as he watched her. ”What happened?” She asked Eli. He stood up and stretched out his back. ”You collapsed, anemia from pregnancy, you should be fine after some rest.... Well that's what Nana Pam said but I guess we should wait for the official report.” He said with a wicked grin.
A nurse came rushing in and grinned at Eli before shooing the twins to Eli's side. The nurse quietly checked over her vitals and finally looked at her with a wide smile. She turned to Eli. ”The young miss is doing fine. Dr. Foster should be here any minute to give you the finally diagnosis.” Then the nurse turned to her and patted the back of her hand. ”You are so lucky to have a loving family... especially your ... cough... husband, can't wait for the little bundles of joy.” She giggled before handing a bag to Olivia. With a quick wink to Olivia and a blow kiss to Eli, she left the room. Olivia looked at Eli and saw him roll his eyes. ”My sister's friend, Jessica, they've been together since kindergarten.”
Olivia looked in the bag and saw pastries, her mouth salivated as she pulled out a croissant.She looked at her sisters and gestured for them to take a pastry. They hesitated for a bit but she looked at them with puppy eyes. ”I don't want to be the only one eating.” Loreley grabbed a croissant and lobster tail pastry from Olivia and handed the croissant to Laila. ”Eli?” She said as she opened the bag wider. ”No thanks I'll grab some drinks. Strawberry milk?” He asked as he looked Olivia. ”Yes please.” She answered. He looked at the twins. ”Anything.” They answered, he nodded his head and left the room.
Olivia looked at the clock, her chest tightened, it showed 10:45. She didn't know what to think but she waited until a full minute went by. ”What day is it and does Eli know?” She asked Loreley. ”It's Friday night, you were only out for a few hours, so don't worry we have time and yes.” She answered with a shaky smile. ”It seems so caught us off guard and invited all the prestigious people through their secretaries and assistants. Telling them to keep the information to themselves so she could plan in peace.”
Olivia turned her gaze to the window and clutched the bag. It seemed Laila couldn't keep still she fiddled with her croissant and thought she could try to comfort Olivia. ”Don't worry that monster can't do anything to you right now, she told the doctors that you hadn't been taking you prenatals but had been eating properly so she wasn't sure what caused you to faint. They took some blood and... oh um... they said they were going to keep you here for 48 hours for observation.”
Olivia just let a small ”Okay.” While she kept her gaze locked on whatever was outside. Loreley gave Laila a stern look and Laila blushed a little before stuffing her face with the croissant. Olivia sighed and pulled out a lobster tail. She looked at it for a bit before taking a small bite. The pastry was soft and the filling was delightful and refreshing. She heard the twins sigh and looked up at them in confusion.
”Oh sorry.” Laila started but Loreley quickly picked up the conversation. ”You haven't smiled since you woke up, so we were kinda worried.” Olivia looked at her sisters remorsefully causing them instantly to regret speaking. ”I haven't thought of a plan yet about tomorrow...” Laila and Loreley dropped their gazes and couldn't help but feel pitiful. They hadn't thought of anything either.
”That's because you don't have to think about anything.” Eli said as he walked through the door, he gave the twins some regular milk cartons then went up to Olivia. He gave her the strawberry milk carton, sat down on the bed and wrapped his arms around her. He placed a small kiss on her head before he continued to speak. ”Just trust in your friends we have been working hard and we got a plan started for this little bump on the road.”
”Really?” She asked Eli hopefully. ”Really, so relax for a bit and just wait for the show to start.” Eli said as he tightened his embrace. Olivia took another bit of the pastry before snuggling up against Eli's chest. ”Aww so loving in any situation aren't you?” A familiar voice was heard from the doorway. Eli refused to let go so Olivia had to struggle to see the person's face.
”Porter?!” She said and quickly looked at Loreley's face. She saw her subconsciously try to brush back her hair behind her ear as she turned a slight pink.
”Hey! Not just him you know!” Another voice shouted. Olivia's face started to brighten up when she saw a group of people walk in. Blair, Marek, Rodan, Samantha and ”Autumn!!! Autumn, Autumn!!! I'm ...” She started to shout but couldn't hold back her tears. Autumn small face started to scrunch up and big, round tears started to run down her slightly, blushed face.
Eli finally let Olivia go as Autumn came stomping up to her. She looked at her in silence before she started crying harder. She brought her small fists up to her face, trying to push back her tears. Olivia reached out and grabbed her waist, guiding her onto the bed. She instantly wrapped her arms around Olivia's head. ”No I'm sorry! You were in pain and locked away and all I thought of was myself! You needed me and... sob...I'm so sorry! He was my other dad, we have been together for so long and that witch didn't even let you say goodbye!” She cried.
Olivia wrapped her arms around Autumn and started to cry with her. ”No, she did but it was too cruel!” Everyone in the room was silent and waited for the girls to calm down. Once they started to sniffle, did they break their embrace.Both their faces were now streaked with tear tracks and their eyes were red and puffy. Blair clapped her hands and grabbed everyone's attention. ”You guys are a giant mess now, so into the bathroom to get cleaned up.” She ordered as she walked towards them. ”Come on now Autumn move away so I can help Olivia up.”
Olivia tried to protest but Blair wouldn't have it. ”Did Eli not tell you anything! A show is going to start and we need you presentable!”
