A month had passed and Wyatt and I had a new hobby. Eating at the cafeteria together because he always dragged me there.
"Love, are you dressed already?" I asked as I entered our bedroom and saw that Wyatt was still on his phone. "Chastille, I told you to get dressed. We're gonna be late." I said and he just looked at me. "Wyatt. Get dressed already."
"Where are we going?" He asked which made me glare at him. "If it's the dress fitting. It was scheduled for tomorrow, not today." He said which made my jaw drop. But my calendar says today. "Should I call them and confirm?" He asked so I nodded and it is tomorrow.
"I should change." I said and was about to walk to the bathroom when he held my hand. "What is it?"
"What's your schedule for tomorrow?" He asked so I got my phone and looked at my calendar.
"Grocery with Wyatt." I read the schedule in my calendar. "Oh I switched it up. Are we going?"
"Yeah. I'll just change my clothes." He said and stood up. After he changed his clothes we went to the mall. "Let's buy you some clothes."
"I have a lot of clothes." I said to him and he chuckled as he nodded. "We don't need to buy more clothes."
"Let's just buy a gift for Belle." I said to him and he nodded. We bought toys because the kid loves playing a lot. "You're buying her jewelry?"
"Yeah. And I'm buying you a ring." He said, which made me look at him squinting. "I'm going to propose again." He said and chuckled. "Pick the ring you want. I'll buy it."
"Anything?" I asked and he nodded. I bought a Tiffany T silver true narrow ring for me and a Tiffany T silver wide ring for him.
"Love, you spent nearly five million for 2 rings. That's crazy." He said as we left the store. "I shouldn't have brought you here." He said which made me chuckle. "Let's split it. I'll pass 3 million in your account." He said because I paid for it.
"Love, it's fine. This is the first time I bought something like this." I said to him and he sighed. "I'll give it to you when we get home." We went back to his car and put the things we bought before we proceeded to the supermarket.
"Let's buy it. I'm late." I said and put a pregnancy test in our cart but he put it back. "Love, we need to make sure."
"You're just stressed, it's fine." He said, and truth to be told I'm. After a few days I did have my monthly period.
"Can you proceed to your surgery later?" Wyatt asked so I nodded. "I'll go get a hot compress." He did get a hot compress and gave it to me. I'm laying on my couch, using his lap as my pillow. I put the hot compress in my lower abdomen then close my eyes. He's on-call today so he's not very busy. When I heard his phone ring I lifted my head but he put it back and chuckled. "Gael. Why?"
"Where's Mama, Papa?" I heard Gael ask. Wyatt's phone is on speaker. "Can I stay over at your house? I don't want to be with Daddy."
"Sure, Gael. Your Mama and I will fetch you when we get off work." Wyatt said and I rolled my eyes. "Why are you rolling your eyes?"
"You're on-call, Wyatt." I said to him and he chuckled. "I can fetch him. My duty will end at 8 though."
"I can wait, Mama." Gael said, "just fetch me here, Mama."
"Sure. I'll fetch you. We'll get going, baby. We love you." I said to him before Wyatt dropped the call and answered another call so I sat down. "Go. I'll be preparing for my surgery."
After my duty I went to my parent's house to fetch Gael. "I texted you not to fetch him." Grant said to me when I arrived, which made me chuckle.
"Mama!" Gael called me as he ran to me then hugged me. "Are we going now?"
"Your dad doesn't want you to come with me." I said and chuckled then my phone rang which I answered. "My love."
"I can't go home early. I'm going to perform an emergency exploratory laparotomy to a patient." Wyatt said so I nodded. It's already 10 pm and I know that the operation will take several hours.
"Alright. Goodluck, love. I love you." I said to him and he asked if I could be at home alone. "I'll be home with Gael, love."
"That's good to hear. I need to go. I love you, love." He said and dropped the call.
"Wyatt won't be able to go home early so let me have Gael, Grant." I said to my brother and he doesn't have a choice but to agree with me. "Thank you. We'll go now."
"Alright. Take care. Drive slowly." He said to me then talked to Gael who seemed not to be listening to him. "I'll fetch you there tomorrow. I love you."
We did leave the house and Gael was sitting in his booster seat in the back as I drove on the empty road. I was driving moderately when something hit the car from behind that was strong enough that I hit my head on the steering wheel. I still haven't recovered from it when I saw the car leaving so I just looked at Gael. "Baby, are you okay?"
"Mama, there's blood on your forehead." He said which made me look at my rear view mirror and there I saw that there's a cut in my forehead. "We should go to the hospital, Mama." He said so I nodded since we're near the hospital Wyatt and I are working.
"Dr. Solis, what happened?" A nurse asked me when I entered the emergency room.
"Can you please check him. We got into an accident." I told her and she did.
"Graciella. You're bleeding." Nurse Cynthia said as she walked to me. "What happened?" She said so I told her as she dressed the wound in my forehead. "Stay for a while. You shouldn't drive."
"I have a kid with me, Nurse Cynthia. He may be sleepy." I said to her as I looked at Gael who's sitting across from me. "I need to call his father."
"He looked like you." Nurse Cynthia said as she stared at Gael. "Is he your son? With Chastille?" She asked, which made me chuckle.
"No, Nurse. He's my nephew." I answered her and stood up to walk to him.
"Mama, are you okay?" He asks me as I sit beside him. "Did you call dad?"
"I'll call your dad." I said and got my phone out but he got it from me and I watched him call Grant.
"Dad, we got into an accident. Tita is not well." He said, which made me chuckle and said 'I'm fine'. "No, I'm fine. You don't need to go here. We can just wait for Papa. You should sleep, Dad." He said and gave the phone to me.
"Sorry, Grant. I was driving moderately, I promise. Someone just bumped into the end of my car." I said to him and looked at Gael who's looking at me. "I'm getting him checked. I want to make sure that he's fine."
"Are you okay? I'll go there." He said, which made me shake my head.
"I'm fine. You don't need to go here." I said and talked to him for a while before dropping the call. "Can I request an x-ray for him? I want to make sure that he's really okay." I said and the nurse nodded.
They did perform an x-ray. After an hour I saw Leon walking towards us. "Reese. What happened?" He asked me to look at Gael. "He's Grant's son, right?" He asked and I nodded. "He doesn't have any fracture but he does have bacterial pneumonia." He said, which made me look at Gael. "I wrote a prescription." He said and gave it to me.
"Thank you, Dr. Rios." I thanked him and he chuckled.
"Too formal, Reese. Hindi ka naka duty." He said, which made me chuckle. "Where's Chase?"
"You're my nephew's radiologist so it's normal to call you Dr. Rios, Leon." I said to him, "Wyatt is in the OR. Where's Tianna?"
"I'm here." Tianna said then kissed Leon's cheeks before looking at me. "What the hell happened to you?" She asked so I told her what happened. "What happened to the driver?"
"The driver ran away." I said and shook my head. "It's fine, Tianna. We aren't hurt."
"Not hurt my ass." She said and rolled her eyes. "Gael, do you want to go with me? I'll tour you at our hospital." She asked and he nodded. "I'm taking your son with me."
"Take care of him. I'll go watch, Wyatt." I said to her and she nodded. I went to the OR and watched Wyatt perform a surgery through the glass panel.
"Good evening, Dr. Solis." Some of the resident surgeons greeted me. I watch Wyatt until it's finished.
Some residents praised him when he got out of the OR 1 and he thanked them. He's only wearing his scrubs and his cap. "You did a great job, Dr. Hudgens." I said to him and they all looked at me.
"My love." Wyatt said as he walked towards me. "What happened to you?"
"I'll explain to you later. You should talk to your patient's family." I said to him and he nodded then kissed my forehead before walking away. I heard some residents talking about us as I walked out of the OR. I waited for Wyatt to finish talking to the family before we walked to his office. "I'll go settle our hospital bill, love. Can you check on Gael?"
"You should go check Gael. I'll go pay for the hospital bill." He said and sighed. "Did you review your dashcam?" He asked so I shook my head. "We'll go to the police station tomorrow. And no Graciella you can't disagree with me." He said with finality as he dragged me out of his office.
I went to Gael who's sleeping in one of the beds in the ER. I waited for Wyatt while talking to Nurse Cynthia. "There goes your soon-to-be husband." Nurse Cynthia said and pointed somewhere. I saw Wyatt holding something and he seemed annoyed. "Not in the ER, Chastille." Nurse Cynthia said as Wyatt put the container in front of her.
"No one will eat that." I said as I looked at pancit bihon.
"Pancit bihon? Pia is craving that. Let me give it to her." Tianna said and got the container. "You should go home, Reese." She said before walking away.
"Did you buy Gael's medicine? How much is it? I'll pay you." I said to him and he flicked my forehead. "What? I'm just asking how much it is."
"I'll let you pay for it if you let me pay for this." He said and raised his hand showing me his ring. "We should go. You need to sleep."
We bid Nurse Cynthia a goodbye then Wyatt carried Gael. Wyatt drove us home. I lay Gael on our bed before going to our kitchen where Wyatt is. He's drinking in our mini bar. "What's the problem, love?" I asked him and he shook his head.
"You won't drink." He said and snatched the wine glass from me. "How are you feeling?"
"I want to drink, Wyatt." I said to him but he didn't budge. "Why are you allowed to drink and I'm not?"
"Gael is here." He said and looked away.
"Be honest with me, Wyatt. Why are you acting like this? Is this because of the accident?" I asked and then he looked at me but quickly looked away, which made me sighed. "Oh come on, love. Don't think about it. I'm fine."
"How can you say so? Did you get a CT scan?" He asked so I shook my head. "Then you'll get a CT scan tomorrow." He said with finality. He's so bossy.
"I have surgery tomorrow." I said and he just looked at me. "And I don't need a CT scan."
