Diana - Chapter 286

Stella leaned and touch her cheek to Diana’s own to feel her warmth. The day she has been waiting for. The day she’s staring at her daughter with peace of mind, instead of fearing that a psycho is watching from a corner and might hurt her child.

Melanie also held her palm and was still staring at her stomach.

Stella also stare at it and smile. “I hope you can be a better mother than I am to you baby.” she said and took a deep sigh.

Melanie stare at her friend and shook her head, “don’t say that Stella. You’re a good mother and you did your best for your child.” she said.

“I wasn’t a part of her life Mel.” Stella broke into tears, looking at Melanie in the eyes. “she’s going to be a mother, start her own family, but I’m just meeting her. She’s no longer a girl I can cuddle and shower with warmth, she will be busy doing all that for her own family from now on, she’s grown and I didn’t play any role in her growing up.” Stella cried more loudly, as she pour her heart out.

“She’s alive and will be able to do all that because of your sacrifice Stella. Don’t break down now, because she will need you more than you can imagine. It’s not over, it’s just the beginning.” Melanie said.

While they were talking, a drop of tears rolled down Diana’s face, vertically down to her earlobe, which went unnoticed by them.

Stella’s hand slowly reach for Diana’s stomach and caress it gently, while Ethan and the others came in at that moment.

For the first time, Ethan forget the guilt about selfishly asking for the baby to be kept. It seems everyone is happy with it.

He’s the first to notice the drop of tears as they move closer. Everyone was stunned as he rushed towards her. He touch the liquid and felt it all the way to her eye, to confirm if he’s dreaming or not.

After almost three month, she finally showed a reaction. “she cried.” Ethan muttered softly, while he rushed out towards the doctor’s quarter. He’s glad the man has increased his staying and was still around.

They were all happy that Diana showed a reaction, but a part of them worried about Ethan. They doubt if he’s going to remain sane if Diana stay too long to wake up.

The way he reacted a while ago, was like none of them existed. It’s like Diana is the only one he’s seeing in the room.

Stella and Alex already understood a lot about being in a coma, which is why they weren’t as freaked out as Ethan. They pray she wake up soon and not take too long, but who know she’s going to react on the day they arrive.

Meanwhile, Diana who was unconscious believed that Ethan is dead. The fact that she was defeated means she lost, and Austin has promised to I kept Ethan with that zombie virus.

She didn’t want to witness all that. Hearing Ethan’s voice and many more, we’re like hallucinations to her. She’s determined to remain in her dream world, not wanting to wake up into the dreadful reality, where Ethan is no more.

When she heard Stella’s words, she recalled that she promised the woman that they will meet again and many more recollection about the woman’s sacrifice for her and all, which was what brings forth the drop of tears.

While Ethan went to fetch the doctor, Stella began communicating with her. Telling her to wake up that she’s carrying a child and shouldn’t hurt it by refusing to open her eyes.

She said lots of things, and even got to Ethan’s part, saying that he’s suffering because he couldn’t handle seeing her this way.

Another tear escape her eyes, which everyone noticed these time. Chris also rush out after Ethan to tell them another tears came out. He can’t wait to have his friend back.

Diana wondered if Ethan was really alive and she has been ignoring all his pleading for her to please wake up since all these while, assuming them to be hallucination.

Stella wiped Diana’s tears and gently caress her face, “mom is here baby, please wake up. There are lots of things we need to talk about.” she said, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

30 minutes later, everyone were outside the room, while the doctor and the nurse were inside, examining Diana.

Ethan pace back and forth, like a husband waiting outside the labour room for his wife to deliver, while everyone couldn’t take their eyes off him.

Melanie didn’t feel good about his condition at all, but they knew whatever they told him wouldn’t get into his ear, unless Diana wake up.

The door opened and the doctor finally came out. Within a blink of an eye, Ethan was already standing in front of him.

Stella would should be all emotional, couldn’t compare to this young man at all. She’s glad he loves her daughter, but also worried for him.

The way his body his shaking alone is worrisome. At the end, they stay behind and let him approach the doctor alone, while they look at their direction, waiting for the good news.

“So…..” Ethan held his fist tight and look into the man’s eyes. He doubt if he could handle any bad news this time.

The doctor smile at him and ask him to put his mind at rest. Ethan shook his head I’m denial. That’s what he’s been hearing from the man since all these while.

The doctor continued, by asking him to get the wheelchair they prepared for her to the room, as she might wake up anytime from now.

Ethan breath heavily, while the rest of the people let out a sigh of relief.

The doctor said that he will need to leave the next day to get some drugs for her, so that her moving around from now won’t affect the fetus.

“Thank you so much.” Ethan said, and dashed inside. He rushed towards her and held her hands in his own, giving it a gentle squeeze and peck her lips softly.

A smile blossom on his face, as he stare at the devices displaying her heart rate and others. He has stared at them far enough to realize there’s finally a changes.

The rest of the crew has came in and was watching him. Stella find herself being a normal onlooker, while Alex disappeared in the background.

They wonder just how much these two love each other for Ethan to be acting like this.

His head snapped towards them,  and they all find themselves holding their breath. He smile at them and gently place Diana’s hand on the bed.

He stood up and walk towards them, “please look after her for a while, I need to shave.” he said and walk out of the room.
