Chapter 101
I call Lee first, he answers with a sleepy voice. "Iris? Why are you calling?"
"Hi Lee. I'm at the hospital, but it's nothing serious," I quickly say.
"What? What happened?" he calls out.
"I got contractions, but they gave me medicines to stop them. It will be okay," I explain.
"Jeez babe! You're scaring me! Dunk's with you, right? You want me to come over?"
"Yeah, Dunk's here, but he's stressed out. Can you come over if it's not too much trouble?"
"Of course it's no trouble! I'm coming right now!"
I can hear him getting dressed while talking to me.
"Why's Dunk stressed out? You don't sound too stressed!"
"He's blaming himself, he thinks it's his fault that I got contractions."
"Huh? Why?" Lee sounds amazed.
"Well� the doctor said that it started because we had sex. Several times."
Lee stays silent for a while. "You've got to be kidding," he finally says.
"No I'm f*cking serious!" I say serious, but than start to giggle.
"Yeah, yeah, laugh about it! I don't think Dunk will appreciate that!" Lee says worried.
"He's gone to get me a drink."
"Ow okay. I'm coming now. Bye!" he hangs up the phone. The next one I call is Tia, but she doesn't answer the phone. And neither do Sy and Ant! Luckily Patty's coming over too!
Dunk comes back with a drink. "Sorry it took so long babe! How are you feeling?" he asks worried.
"I'm feeling fine, relax! I called the guys, but I could only reach Lee and Patty. They're both coming over now."
"Good!" A weak smile appears on his face. "Are you still having contractions?" his face changes again.
"Just a little bit. Please sit down, you shouldn't make me nervous!"
He sits down on the bed next to me. "I'm sorry babe, I really am!" he whispers.
"Come here, you silly!" I smile and pull him close. "I'm probably not allowed to go to work tomorrow. That means I can stay with you longer."
Even that can't make him smile. "But how long will you have to stay in the hospital? I hate hospitals," he sighs.
"Oh nice! How would you feel if I said that I hate the studios?" I grin. He gives me a puzzled look.
"I work at the hospital."
"Oh. Yeah. Well I hate that you're lying in the hospital," he says with a sad face.
"It will be okay, I can feel it. Everything will be okay, as long as we're together," I whisper in his ear when he hugs me.
Lee and Patty come bursting into the room. Dunk stands up as Lee gives me a big hug. He gives me a worried look when he finally lets go off me. "How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"And� the babies?" he whispers with a hoarse voice.
"They'll be okay too."
"Thank God. You scared me babe, you scared me."
"You're not the only one. Can you please take care of Dunk? He feels so guilty, and he shouldn't be�" my voice breaks down when I see Dunk's sad face.
"Sure babe," he nods and goes to Dunk. Patty, who was with him, comes to me and takes my hand, smiling encouraging. Lee has put his arm around Dunk. A single tear rolls down Dunk's cheek. Lee talks to him quietly and leads him out of the room. I give a deep sigh and turn to Patty.
"You and Lee came together?" I ask her curious.
She shakes her head. "I ran in to him at the information desk downstairs. Now tell me everything that happened."
"Everything?" I grin.
"Everything!" she grins back.
I start to tell until the nurse comes in to check how I'm doing. Without saying anything she leaves the room after a couple of minutes and comes back with the doctor. My stomach seems to turn around. Is something wrong? He checks the monitor to see if I've had any contractions.
"It's looking good," he says quickly when he sees my anxious face. I sigh relieved.
"Where's your husband?" he asks me friendly while checking all kinds of other things.
"A friend took him outside," I reply.
"Good, good," he nods, writing things down. I doubt he heard a word of what I was saying!
"We'll have to keep you here for another couple of hours, and than maybe you can go home," he says when he's finished writing.
4 hours later
They just released me from hospital, so I got dressed and now we're leaving. Lee managed to calm Dunk down, thank God! We step outside to go to our cars. A big group of reporters runs at us. Dunk puts his arm firmly around my shoulders. We keep on walking while they shout all kinds of questions at us. When we reach the car I look around where Lee and Patty are. Lee's holding Patty's hand and they're pushing away the reporters to get to us. Dunk's trying to get the door of the car open to let me get in, but everybody's closing in on us.
"F*cking paparazzi," he mutters under his breath.
"Will you leave them alone!!!" Patty calls out angry. She starts pushing the people away, but the man that's blocking the door doesn't move an inch. Patty looks him up and down, and when he smirks at her, she punches him in the face really hard. He stumbles backwards and falls down when everybody backs away. Cameras are flashing everywhere.
"Get in the car," Lee hisses at Dunk and me and pulls Patty with him to his own car. We quickly get in and drive off.
"I can already see the headlines in the papers tomorrow," Dunk says.
"Lee Ryan's girlfriend smacks reporter down," I say.
"Exactly," he nods. I give a deep sigh.
"You okay babe?" he asks, shortly squeezing my hand.
"Yeah. Just take me home," I smile at him.
"Sit down, I'll make you some tea and sandwiches," he says when we get home, leading me to the couch. "I bet you're hungry."
"No I'm not," I shake my head slightly.
"You still need to eat," he smiles, stroking my belly lovingly. He goes to the kitchen, leaving me alone.
Slowly it starts to sink in what happened last night. I almost lost my babies� I almost lost Dunk's babies! I silently start to cry. Big tears stream over my face.
Dunk comes back and takes me in his strong arms. I bury my face in his shirt and cry and cry until I'm out of tears.
"It's okay. Let it all get out," Dunk whispers, rubbing my back.
"We almost lost them Dunk. Lost them!" I sob.
"I know. But we didn't. It all turned out okay. Nothing happened to them. Don't worry about it, it won't happen again!" he says convincing.
"You promise?" I say with a small voice.
"I promise. I won't let anything happen to you or our children!" he says and kisses my tears away.
"We have to give them names!" I say, looking into his blue eyes.
"Yes we do," he gives me a bright smile.
An hour later I've eaten the sandwiches and go to bed.
"You should get some sleep too!" I say to Dunk when I've take off my clothes and curl up in the bed.
"Nah, I'm not pregnant, I don't need to sleep in the afternoon," he grins.
"Really? Let me see that belly of you," I grin and grab his jeans to pull him closer. He sits down next to me and lifts up his shirt.
"As delicious as ever!" I grin. He bends over and softly kisses me.
"Seriously. You should go to sleep too. We had a really short night," I say stroking his cheeks.
"I'll be fine. Sleep, my lady. I'll stay here with you," he kisses me.
Within a couple of minutes I fall asleep, exhausted from everything.
A couple of hours later I wake up. Dunk's lying next to me. Fully dressed but fast asleep. I smile by myself, turn around and go back to sleep.
