Barren

After their beautiful reunion, "Mark please ask a nurse to get all the contraptions of my body. I'm fine now.

"Father is that okay? Mark asked William.

"Yh it is. Mark walked towards the inter-com in the room. "A nurse wanted in VIP 483.

"Right away sir...a woman spoke at the other end.

*Knock* A nurse walked in. "My wife wants you to take off the contraptions. "Right away sir. My senior is on her way to help.

After they took off the contraptions, They all sat in the mini living room in Aurora's ward. Kim sat beside her and held her hands.

"Why the sad look on, did something happen? Aurora asked.

"Baby, you see the thing is...she let out a sigh before parting her lips. Just assure me that you're going to be fine with whatever it is I'm about to say.

"I will try".

"The surgery came out successfully but I'm sorry to tell you this, it came out with complications. My dear you won't be able to give birth.

"Huh...I chuckled. Kim wiped the tears that was trickling down her cheeks. This isn't true right? Tell me it's another joke, why me? Don't I deserve to be happy? You should have allowed me to die Dad.

"No my dear don't say such things.

"This is worst than death, how I'm I supposed to live a life of a barren woman? I was wiping the tears that was running down my cheeks as I was fighting with my words. They hardly came out.

Listen Aurora,it's not 100% percent certain. There's a chance you might get pregnant.

"Please rate that possibility on the scale from one to hundred.

"You see I can't....Kim broke down into tears. I'm so sorry my child,she embraced Aurora. "This is all my fault, if only I didn't have the leukemia cells in my genes all this wouldn't have happened.

"No don't blame yourself, Aurora pulled out cupping Kim's face. If you would excuse me I would like to speak with Mark in private..I said looking at Mark who got his eyes elsewhere.

"Yh you're right"

Aurora looked at their retreating back till they were out of sight. She let out a heavy sigh before giving her attention to her frustrated looking husband.

"Are you aware of this?

"Yes I am" .

And what's your say about this? Nothing....he shrugged.

"Nothing...I exclaimed.

At least have the courage to look me in the eye, while I'm talking to you...I blurted with a shaky voice. The tears I tried to hold in began to trickle down my cheeks.

"What do you think of me Aurora? I'm not that dense okay. I'm equally worried as much as you are. You won't understand what I'm going through,why do you think I'm not able to look you in the eye. It pains me as much as it pains you, especially because I met a cute girl today and you can't imagine the joy that little girl fed me with.

I wanted to be a father right there, cause why not. Come on I'm too young to be told this shit by a doctor. He run his hands in his disheavled hair.

Do you want to leave me?

Mark arched a brow at her. And why would I do that? "I don't know, I can't give you a child so I thought it....

"No I won't divorce you...Mark cut her in midway. I don't know if this is the right time or place to say this but I have to. I thought I could bury it but I realized it was impossible.

I love you Aurora. I love you with every damn thing in me. I will never leave you even if you want to leave.

My eyes widened at his confession, I couldn't believe my ears. Mark loves me, this is so surreal.

"I.. I

"Don't say anything, I know you don't feel the same, I could give you all the time you want. I promise to love and cherish you,to make you the happiest woman on earth.

The tears were flowing vigorously as he confessed.
