Loving my Rejected Luna

Seeing that Zane wasn't going to listen to him, Daniel sighed then gave him a pat on the shoulder before walking out of the room

As soon as he stepped a foot inside Heather's hospital room, she uttered the question he knew was coming.

"How is Kiara?" He glanced at her then smiled when he saw her rocking Nikolas in her arms.

He walked over to her and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"You do know that Nikolas has his little crib, right? Why don't you lay him down so you can rest a little?" She shook her head as she pulled Nikolas closer to her who immediately snuggled closer in return.

"He's safer in my arms and I don't mind watching him all night” Daniel chuckled as he slowly sat down on the bed.

"Yeah, I know that and I can see that but you need to rest and I don't think you can rest with him in your arms” She pouted.

"Watch me,” Daniel sighed

"Stop being stubborn. I'll hold him while you rest" She frowned.

“But I'm not sleepy yet and he fits so perfectly in my arms. I don't think I've ever seen anything or anyone as perfect as he is" She murmured then leaned down to place a kiss on the baby's cheek.

“I know, baby. He's perfect and I know you love to hold him and would wish to hold him forever but you have to rest. It's going to take a toll on you and might eventually rub off on Nikolas" She sighed.

“I see there's no winning against you. I just fed him and I haven't burped him yet. Maybe I should...” “I'll do that while you rest” He muttered as he outstretched his arms towards her. She pouted slightly then sighed before slowly placing Nikolas gently into his arms.

The baby whimpered slightly but immediately calmed down when Daniel began to caress his head. "See? He knows his father's touch” Daniel murmured with a bright smile on his face and Heather smiled back.

"You went to visit Kiara and Zane, right? How is she now?" Heather questioned and he sighed. He has strategically tried to invade that question but he should have known better.

“Kiara was asleep when I got there so she's doing pretty good" Heather heaved a sigh of relief then nodded slowly.

"And Zane?" Daniel sighed as he stood up from the bed. After burping him, Daniel walked over to Nikolas’ crib and placed the sleeping baby carefully down on the bed.

"He's the one I'm worried about. He's stressing himself too much. He needs to rest but he won't leave Kiara's side" Heather sighed.

“You have to understand that Kiara's due date is in like three days from now. She needs him there with her" He sighed.

"What if he collapses? Then what?" Heather pursed her lips.

“Let's hope nothing like that happens”

Zane groaned slightly as he reached for the glass of water on top of the nightstand with shaky hands. The pain in his head seemed to be getting worse and it was affecting his whole body now. He quickly swallowed the Aspirin then drank water over it before letting out a sigh. The Aspirin wasn't even doing anything for the pain anymore.

"Zane?" He turned towards Kiara as soon as he heard her voice. He immediately dropped the cup on the night stand then rushed to her side and grabbed her hand.

“I'm here, my love. Are you in pain?" He murmured then began to caress her hair. She shook her head then smiled slightly.

“I'm okay. Will you lay down next to me? I want you to hold me" He smiled then gently got into bed with her. Her protruding stomach was making it hard for him to wrap his arms around her but he made it work.

“Did you have a good dream?" He questioned as he placed a kiss on her cheek. She sighed then shook her head.

“I didn't dream at all. Everything was just... blank. Do you think that means something?" Zane shook his head.

“No it doesn't, my love. Don't read any meaning into it, okay?" She sighed then nodded.

"Okay, my love. Zane? Will you get me water please? I'm parched" He nodded.

"Of course, my love" He murmured then slowly got out of bed. As soon as he stood up on his feet, he stumbled a little bit but was able to catch himself before Kiara could notice.

He took a deep breath as he dispensed water into the glass cup but just as he was about to turn around, a sharp pain shot through his head.

Zane groaned slightly as the glass cup fell from his hand and smashed into pieces.

Kiara gasped as she stared at him with wide eyes

"Zane? Are you okay? What's going on, my love?" Zane shook his head as he tried to get rid of the dizziness.

“It's okay, my love. I'm..." Just then, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Kiara let out a loud scream then gently tried to sit up on the bed.

"Zane? My love? Zane?! Anyone out there?! Help!” She screamed as tears streamed down her eyes. She glanced down at Zane immobile body on the ground and her heart began to race with fear. "Zane please, get up. My love?!" She called out again but still got no response. As soon as she was close enough to ring the nurse's bell, she pressed it frantically and after a minute, several nurses rushed into the room and when they saw Zane on the ground, they collectively gasped with their eyes wide.

“Help him! Something is... Ow!" She screamed loudly as soon as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. No, not now! She wouldn't be able to handle this pain without Zane.

Kiara let out another scream as she fisted the bedsheet while tears streamed down her face.

"Zane, I need Zane" She called out while the nurses placed him on a stretcher.

“Take him to the emergency ward. We'll take care of her” One of the nurses instructed the others and just like that, they rolled Zane out of the room while Kiara screamed his name in pain.

“I need Zane with me, I can't do this without him" She cried out as she flailed around. The nurses immediately held her down and tried to subdue her with anesthesia but that wasn't working.

"You are just going to have to bear the pain, Miss Hart. We know it hurts but you have to do it" One of the female nurses murmured.

Kiara screamed out in pain as an even more agonizing pain shot through her stomach. She couldn't handle this without Zane beside her.

The pain was too much to bear that she lost consciousness...
