Sweet Dreams Chapter 12 "Brian, why didn't you tell us you had a girlfriend?" "Well, I don't know. I guess I just never had the time." Brian sat down and ran his fingers through his hair. Caroline stood next to him and put her hand in his. "So how long have you two been seeing each other?" Brian's dad asked. "We've been going out for about a year and a half now," Caroline replied. "I see," his Mom added. "Mom I know you want to know what's going on in my life. I'm sorry. I should have listened to Caroline when she first asked me. If I hurt you or dad, I'm sorry." Brian went up and hugged his parents. "Son, it's okay," his dad replied. They all sat down and talked. Even though Brian's mom wasn't used to Caroline yet she had to accept her for Brian's sake. He was really in love. When Brian told them that Caroline was one month pregnant his mom fainted. It took them a half an hour to get her back up. But eventually they all had to accept what was going on whether they liked it or not. *7 months later* "Brian, how can you go on tour now? The baby is due in three weeks," Caroline said beginning to get frustrated. "I'm sorry, but our manager says we have to do this now. We've put off too much time and I've been there through most of your pregnancy," Brian said, his voice rising. "So if your manager tells you to kill your self you'd do it? Damn Brian please tell them to wait. What if I go into labor early? I want you to be there when the baby is born. Our child," she paused for a second then continued. "You have to be there. I can't do this by myself." Tears were falling freely down Caroline's face and she wiped them away. By now they were yelling. "I can't be everywhere at once okay. This is really hard for me. Did you ever think about how I feel? Huh?" "This isn't about you or me. It's about the baby!" Brian was now getting frustrated and angry. "Fuck the damn baby! You know what, I wish I hadn't knocked you up in the first place!" He immediately regretted what he said. It became deadly silent. Caroline took a deep shaky breath. "Is that how you feel?" she said quietly. "I don't know," he said with no emotion in his voice. "I'm sorry I said that. Our plane is leaving so I gotta go." And with that he picked up his bags and left for the airport. Caroline stood there letting the tears fall from her face as she watched the door close. Fifteen minutes later Brian arrived at the airport. The rest of the guys sensed something was up, but he looked like he didn't want to talk. They all sat in their private room in silence as they waited for the plane.Caroline was battling it out in her head whether she should go and talk to Brian, or just leave it alone. She decided to go to the airport and straighten things out between her and Brian because she loved him too much to let it end like this. She grabbed her keys and waddled out to her car. She put her car in ignition and began to drive to the airport. On the way there she was about to cross at an intersection when she noticed an out of control car coming straight towards her. She tried to slow down and move out of the way, but it was too late. It was a head on collision. Now boarding flight 1630 to Cologne, Germany. I repeat now boarding flight 1630 to Cologne, Germany, announced the speaker. Their bodyguards signaled for them to come out and the guys grabbed their luggage and headed on board. Brian was the last to board the plane. He looked over his shoulder once more. He was thinking about just dropping all of his things and run back to her, but he knew it was too late for that. What was said is said, and what was done is done. With a sigh he boarded the plane.When Caroline opened her eyes she realized she was being rushed into emergency. She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen there were 7 people around her all doctors and nurses shouting out medical terms. "She's loosing a lot of blood, hurry!" one of the doctors yelled. They wheeled her into another room. "Can you hear me miss?" one of the nurses said Caroline nodded her head. She felt a sharp pain again and screamed. There was blood everywhere. "Okay, can you push for me?" asked the doctor. "We need you to push so we can get this baby out as soon as possible. This baby is really early so it may be premature. Come on push." Caroline pushed, but something wasn't right. She wasn't supposed to lose so much blood. After about 5 min of pushing it obviously wasn't working. "We're having some complications. We have to operate immediately." They gave her something so she couldn't feel the pain and began to operate.The plane began to take off as Brian stared out the window. He hoped to see Caroline standing at the window waving at him, but that wasn't going to happen. Disappointed, he put on his earphones and began to listen to his CD player on his way to Cologne, Germany. |
