Hardin
A little while later...
"Ugh, it hurts, Hardin." She squeezes my hand and I let her. It's the least I can do."
"You are doing great, love." I kiss her forehead.
Dr. Deluca: "Let's see how you're doing, Tessa."
Tessa: "It hurts..."
Dr. Deluca: "You will see that the pain was worth it." She checks Tessa. "Nine centimeters dilated. Soon, you will meet your baby girl."
The next minutes pass in a blur. I'm standing next to Tess and I whisper nice things in her ear.
Hardin: "You are the strongest woman alive and you can do it, baby. You are doing really great, love." I kiss her temple as she squeezes my hand.
Dr. Deluca: "Tessa, the pain is worth it. You have to push one more time and she's here."
Hardin: "I know you can do it, love. One push and our angel is here. I love you."
A few moments later...
Dr. Deluca: "There she is." She puts the baby on Tessa's chest and I have tears in my eyes. Her head is full of golden hair and she stops crying when she feels her mother's warmth. And in that moment, I realize everything. I'm a father.
Tessa: "Emery, her name is Emery." She says and I love the name. I watch how she kisses her little head, but soon after that she closes her eyes and the machines around us starts to make some weird noises.
Dr. Deluca: "Take the father out, now!"
Nurse: "Sir, come with me."
Hardin: "What? No! I'm not leaving her. What's happening?!"
Dr. Deluca: "Hardin, get out, now! Take him out!"
Nurse: "Sir, you have to come out." She drags me out of the room.
Christian: "Hardin?"
Ana: "What happened?"
Hardin: "She passed out and they kicked me out!"
Ana: "And the baby?"
Hardin: "She was fine. She's beautiful! But Tess..."
Ana: "Maybe she was just tired after giving birth."
Hardin: "All the machines around her were crazy. The doctor was panicked. I don't want to lose her! She's all I have! I can't lose her." I turn my back to them. I don't want to be vulnerable in front of them. "Fuck!" I hit the wall and I don't care if I'm hurt.
Christian: "Calm down! Tessa is going to be fine!"
A few minutes later...
Nurse: "Who is for Theresa?"
Hardin: "I am!" I stand up and I look at her. She's sorry? I can sense regret in her eyes. "How's my fiancée?"
Nurse: "I'm sorry for your loss. We did everything to save her."
Hardin: "What?" I look at her with tears in my eyes.
Nurse: "I'm really sorry, sir."
Hardin: "Fuck!" I yell and I hit the wall again. The pain is bigger than a stupid hit.
Christian: "Hardin! Hardin! Calm down!" He takes my shoulders.
Hardin: "I can't do this without her! I just... can't!" I sit down and I start to cry.
Dr. Deluca: "Hardin? Hey!"
Hardin: "You didn't anything to save her!" I get up and I yell at her. "You let her die!"
