chapter 194
Due to the fact that Zane hasn't woken up yet, Heather had to be the one to stay by Kiara's side. Although Daniel wasn't so keen on the idea, he knew Kiara needed someone close to her and if it wasn't Zane then it might as well be Heather.
Meanwhile, Daniel always made sure to check up on Zane and report back to Kiara who was more worried about Zane than herself.
The doctor had said he had fainted due to extreme fatigue and might be on bed rest for a week. That piece of information bugged them because Kiara's due day was in one day and Zane wasn't showing any signs of waking up and for some reason, Daniel couldn't get to Levi or Anastasia. “Zane isn't awake yet? I know this is selfish of me and I know he needs to rest but I can't do this without him. I need him beside me" Kiara murmured as she stared at Daniel who in turn sighed. He didn't know what to tell her and only the past few days he and Heather had helped her through her pain did he realize just how insensitive he has been towards Kiara's situation.
Now he understood why Zane was so reluctant on leaving her side because he was trying to share her pain with her.
"Hopefully, he'll wake up soon knowing you are waiting for him. It's time for you to eat so you can get your strength back" Heather murmured as she reached towards the nightstand and grabbed Kiara's food.
Heather had practically moved into Kiara's hospital room together with Nikolas so she could be watching over him and Kiara at the same time but whenever Kiara was having one of her episodes, Daniel carried him far away from the room so he wouldn't be awakened by her cries.
“I'm not hungry" Kiara muttered then turned her head away as Heather tried to place the spoon in her mouth.
“Kiara, you need the strength" Heather tried to convince her. Since tomorrow was Kiara's due date, everyone was running under Helter skelter.
The doctors and nurses were panicking and so were they. Heather couldn't even count how many times they had tried reaching Levi but his phone was switched off.
"If Zane isn't here and Anastasia doesn't show up.... What's going to happen to me and the baby?" Kiara asked so softly that it almost sounded like a whisper.
Heather frowned then dropped the plate of food on the night stand then grabbed onto Kiara's hand tightly. She hated the look of defeat on Kiara's face at that moment.
"You chose to fight for your babies and I believe that you can fight with them on your own. They are fighting to survive as well, Kiara. Don't give up yet, it's not over” Kiara smiled sadly then turned to Heather.
“Can I hold Nikolas?" Her request caught them off guard. Heather glanced briefly at Daniel then nodded before going to get Nikolas.
Nikolas was fast asleep when Heather placed him in Kiara's arms.
"He calms me down and holding him like this gives me motivation. I want nothing more than to hold my twins in my arms like this and give them the best of life. I really... I really do hope that I can make it through so that we can give this little cutie play buddies" Heather didn't even realize she was crying until Kiara wiped away her tears with her fingers.
“Don't cry just yet, Heather. Like you said, it isn't over and I will try my hardest but just in case, tell Zane I'll hunt him in his dream if he gets married to another woman" Kiara uttered then let out a chuckle but none of them laughed along with her.
“There's no just in case because you are going to get through this, I believe you are" Heather uttered then leaned down and placed a kiss on Kiara's forehead.
“I'm going to be right here all the way so you're not going to be alone. You have got this and we are all rooting for you including Nikolas"
Levi was nervous, he was so nervous that he hadn't slept a wink last night. There was no electricity where they were so his phone had died along the way so he had no idea on what was going on with Kiara at the moment.
Today was her due date which meant he and Anastasia had to return back today and he was extremely nervous about that. Although Anastasia had managed to master the healer witch's power, it was obvious that it was taking a toll on her.
She slept a lot more often and most times, she was unconscious. He couldn't help but he worried about her and Kiara.
"Anastasia? Are you ready? We need to leave” He uttered as he walked out of the cave. He walked towards the place where Anastasia always practiced and furrowed his eyebrows when he couldn't find her.
“Anastasia?” He called out her name as he walked further into the woods.
Just then, he spotted something on the ground up ahead and when he got closer, he froze with his eyes widened with shock and fear.
“Anastasia!” He called out her name as he ran towards her. He immediately gathered her in his arms then tapped her cheeks gently in an attempt to wake her up.
“Anastasia, you have to wake up. You can't do this, not right now" He murmured as he continuously tapped her cheek.
Just then, Margaret appeared and placed her hand on Anastasia's forehead.
“The power in her body is too much for such a young girl to bear so her body is rejecting the power" Levi furrowed his eyebrows as he turned to Margaret.
"What do you mean rejecting the power?” Margaret sighed.
“It's either both powers stay in her body which is unlikely because it has never been done before or one of them has to leave. We should just hope all her training won't be in vein and the healer powers she has just attain doesn't disappear"
