Undermined Endearment Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Nora woke up to the phone. She blinked it was 4 a.m., then her heart stopped. Bo was on duty tonight. She grabbed the phone quickly. She heard Amelia wake just as she did.

“Hello?”
“Red, you and Amelia need to come to the hospital.”
Nora heard her daughter cries get louder.

“Bo why? Are you okay?”
“I am fine, it is Blake, honey he was in a bad accident. He isn’t going to make it. He wants to say goodbye to Amelia.”
Nora breath caught in her throat.

“Red?”
She shook her head.

“I’ll come right over.”
“Thank you honey, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Nora hung up. By then Amelia cries had become sobs. Nora quickly got up and headed to her daughter’s room. Amelia was very upset by the time Nora walked in.

“Hey little girl calm down.”
Nora rubbed her hand on the baby’s stomach. Amelia started to calm down as soon as she heard her mother’s voice. She reached up for her mom to pick her up.

Nora lifted her and kissed her tiny cheek.

“Hey sweetie, we need to get you all pretty. Your uncle Blake needs to see you.”
Nora started to change her daughter, she suddenly was hit by what was happening. She felt the tears staring. Things may have been hard between her and Blake, but at one point he was a good friend. Her heart hurt as she brushed her daughter’s dark hair back, the one feature she got from her biological father. Nora had been so worried about what Amelia would think when she found out her uncle Blake was really her father. Now this little girl would never know her biological father in any way. Nora cuddled Amelia close, she wiped her own tears away as she headed out to say goodbye to a man who gave her a daughter.
