Chapter 11

Nicole looked at the sleeping baby being held in Leah’s arms as Leah rocked her from side to side gently before looking up at Roman and smiling exstatically and he also beamed and kissed Leah’s forehead softly.

“She’s so beautiful and tiny...’ Nicole smiled as Leah looked up and smiled at Nicole. “I cant believe I have a baby sister...’

“She looks a lot like you Nic...’ Leah complimented as Nicole smiled back in return.

“I’m going to grad a coffee, anyone want one?’ Nicole asked as Leah shook her head along with Roman.

Turning she exited the room and closed the door behind her. Resting her hand on her stomach she smiled gently and looked up just as the emergancy doors were pushed open and two ambulance officers raced through pushing a woman on one bed.

She had an oxygen mask on and tubes were coming from everywhere.

Nicole’s eyes widened as she realised who it was just as Aden came running through the emergancy doors.

“Belle Taylor... Collapsed on the beach, has not gained conciousness, possibly underweight, severley dehydrated,’ one ambulance officer spoke as Rachel felt her pulse.

“Ok, Julie I want head CT, full body CT, get another bag of fluids through her, get her bloods done and also a urine sample,’ she said as she switched on her torch and lifted up Belle’s eye lids, shining the torch in them.

“Belle, can you hear me, it’s Rachel and your in hospital... Belle come on open your eyes for me...’

“Aden...’ Nicole yelled as she raced over to Aden who was watching on in complete horror as they worked on Belle. “What’s happened?’

She collapsed Nic... after you left the beach I turned around and she looked at me before collapsing on me... she wanted to tell me something,’ the croak in Aden’s voice said it all as he began to break down.

“She’s going to be ok, she will be ok,’ Nicole promised as she leant up and wrapped her arms around his neck as he hugged her and completely broke down.

“I cant lose her too… I cant lose Belle as well…’ he sobbed into Nicole’s shoulders.

----------------------------------

She walked down the stairs, one at a time as she yawned and looked around the empty house. Walking into the kitchen she switched the kettle on and got a cup out of the cupboard and started making herself a coffee. After putting the coffee and suger in the cup she opened the fridge and pulled out the milk. Opening the lid she was just about to pour it into her cup as the phone started ringing.

Sitting the milk down she walked over to the phone hanging on the wall and picked it up.

“Hello Irene Roberts speaking… oh hi Aden… what?... I’ll be right there…’ she said as she hung up the phone, picked up her car keys and hand bag and raced out the door, pulling it shut behind her.

----------------------------------

“Dr Armstrong… Belle Taylor’s test result’s are back…’ Nurse Julie said as she handed Rachel the file. Opening it she began to read down the piece of paper.

“She’s relapsing isn’t she?’ Nurse Julie asked as Rachel kept reading before looking up.

“No… well not completely… her body is trying to repair itself… it thinks she has a virus but she’s actually pregnant… her body is rejecting the pregnancy because she’s underweight again and her body can barely feed herself let alone try and feed a feotus.’ Rachel explained as Nurse Julie nodded and put her hands on her hips.

“Poor Belle and Aden… first they lose their daughter and now this… what more can these two deal with?’

“I don’t know… but if she wants to keep this baby she is going to have to start eating properly,’ Rachel replied as she closed the file and walked off to talk to Aden.

-------------------------------

“I cant believe Belle and Aden have to go through this after what’s already happened…’ Leah said as she moved over on the bed to let Roman sit down. Sitting down he wrapped his arms around Leah and they both watched their new baby girl sleeping peacefully in the cot in the corner of the room.

“Yeah but they will pull through, they’ve already been through so much together,’ Roman replied as Leah nodded and leant up into his chest.

“I guess it goes to show how much they love each other,’ Leah said.

-------------------------------

Aden was sitting in room 1 holding Belle’s hand with his chair right up next to the bed as Rachel walked in holding the file.

“Aden…’ she said as he slowly looked up.

“Aden, do you know Belle is pregnant?’ she asked as his eyes widened and his mouth fell open to try and say something but nothing came out.

He shook his head. “That must’ve been what she was trying to tell me on the beach before she collapsed.’ He spoke as Rachel nodded.

“Belle is underweight again and her body is trying to repair itself because it thinks her pregnancy is a virus. Because Belle hasn’t been eating enough, and on top of stress her body has reacted to a virus instead of a pregnancy. She is barely eating enough to support herself let alone feeding a baby and her stress levels are over the roof, she has a high temperature which suggests she also has an infection of some sort and earlier tests show she also has a threatened miscarriage. Which means there is a possibility of a miscarriage but at the moment her cervix is still tightly closed.

We are giving her food and fluids by a drip and she should be awake very soon. Aden I’m sorry to have to tell you this but Belle may be under strict bedrest for the rest of her pregnancy, and from tests taken she is three and a half months pregnant but because she is underweight it is only just beginning to show.

Now Irene is on her way yes?’

“Yeah… yes…’ Aden replied as Rachel nodded.

“Would you like me to explain this to her when she arrives?’ Rachel asked as Aden shook his head and squeezed Belle’s hand gently.

“No, I’ll do it…’

----------------------------------

“Aden what’s happening?’ Irene yelled as she raced through the door and looked at Belle who had now been taken off the oxygen mask but still had tubes running into her from both arms.

“She’s pregnant and her body is rejecting the pregnancy, she is underweight again and her body cant look after her and the baby so its trying to repair itself by thinking the pregnancy is a virus, she also has an infection which they have found in her throat and are giving her antibiotics and are feeding her through tubes. There is a possibility of a miscarriage and she could be confined to bedrest for the rest of her pregnancy,’ Aden said as the tears were running down his cheeks but he kept it together long enough to tell Irene.

“You mean, she’s relapsing and pregnant?’ Irene asked as she clasped her hands over her mouth in wide horror as Aden began crying again. Mouth agape and eyes wide Irene turned to look back at Belle and gasped as Aden turned and looked.

“Oh my god…’ they both said as they saw Belle beginning to stir.

The last chapter

Chapter 12

“Thank god your ok...’ Aden said as Belle was now sitting up in the bed, Aden holding her hand and stroking it softly.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner that I was pregnant I just... I couldn’t be happy about it...’ Belle spoke softly as she lifted her hand which was being held by Aden and kissed the inside of his palm.

“But I’m going to be careful from now on, I dont want to lose this baby as well so if it’s complete bedrest then I’ll do it...’ she said as she looked at Aden as he looked back up at her before climbing off his chair and hugging Belle as she hugged hin back as tears ran slowly down her cheeks. “I’m sorry if I scared you...’

“And I’m sorry I thought you had relapsed...’ came Nicole’s voice from the door way as Aden pulled away and both of them looked at her.

“It’s not your fault Nic...’ Belle started but Nicole cut her off.

“No you said it wasn’t what it looked like and I didn’t believe you, I thought you were making yourself sick when really you were pregnant,’ she said as she slowly walked in and over to the side of the bed. “Can you forgive me?’

Belle looked at Nicole as a small, sincere smile crept upon her face. “Of course, if your going to be a godmother...’ Belle replied as Nicole’s eyes widened and her mouth gaped open.

“You... you want me to... be a godmother?’ Nicole asked as tears welled up in her eyes as Belle and Aden both nodded. “Thankyou...’

“Come here,’ Belle held out her arms as both girls hugged each other.

“Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo,’ came another female voice from outside as slowly Leah came through the door in a wheel chair as Roman pushed her because she was cradling their new baby. Irene was right behind Roman with a bunch of flowers.

“Hey guys...’ Belle smiled as she looked at Roman and Leah’s new baby girl.

“Belle... I’d like you to meet Jennifer Chelsea Harris...’ Leah said softly as Belle’s smiled faded.

“You... you named her after Chelsea?’ Belle asked in shock as tears welled once again in her eyes.

“Yes, we did...’ Leah replied as she looked up at Belle and Aden.

“Thankyou...’ Belle whispered as tears gently trickled down her cheeks but she quickly wiped them away.

Aden looked at her, looking a little worried as she wiped the last tear away and looked at him, her gentle, kind, loving eyes told him everything he needed to know.

That everything was going to be ok...

3 days later

After putting on more weight, Belle’s ribs had now disappeared. More colour had returned to her face and she had even began to get a bigger stomach on her. The bags had finally disappeared from underneath her eyes and for once since Chelsea had disappeared, Belle was glowing.

“Belle, how are you today?’ Rachel asked as she walked into the room as Belle was finally aloud out of bed but was sitting in the chair across the room.

“Actually, very healthy and for once, I’m looking forward to the future,’ Belle replied with a wide grin on her face. “Chelsea’s funeral is next week so its going to be an emotional day but I have someone else to think about now, someone I didn’t care about a few days ago,’

Rachel smiled and pulled one of the other chairs over in front of Belle and sat down. “I’m very proud of you Belle... looking at you the other day I would have recommended you to rehab but now... you’ve really improved and looking at the tests done this morning, you and your baby are doing well and we now have your infection under control,’

“So how long until I can go home?’ Belle asked as she pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear.

“Actually Belle, today if you like...’

“Oh my god!’ Belle almost squeeled. “Are you serious?’ she clasped her hands over her mouth as Rachel nodded.

“I’m serious, but you have to keep up this good work Belle, not only for yourself or your baby, but for all the people that love you,’ Rachel said as Belle nodded egerly.

“I will... don’t worry I will Rach,’ Belle yelled as she leant forward and hugged Rachel. Rachel hugged Belle back and smiled as she pulled away.

“Good luck Belle...’

----------------------------------

Aden walked into the room and saw Belle sitting on the bed with her feet dangling over the side with her bag packed and ready to go.

“Hey...’ she greeted enthusiastically. “Rach said I can go home...’

“What... are you serious?’ Aden asked exstaticly as Belle nodded. “Ha ha,’ he yelled as he raced over to her and picked her up into his arms as he swung her around in circles.

Letting her down gently he brushed a piece of hair away from her face with his index finger and stroke her cheek before leaning down and kissing her ever so gently, yet with a little force and passion as she began to kiss him back.

“I love you,’ he finally whispered as he pulled back and looked deeply into her eyes.

Belle smiled sweetly at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I love you too,’ she replied as they leant in and began kissing again.

----------------------------------

“Awwwwwwwwwwwwww welcome home love, it’s great to have you back,’ Irene hugged her foster daughter as Belle hugged Irene back.

“It’s good to be home, I’ve missed you,’ Belle mumbled in Irene’s neck as Irene wouldn’t let go of her.

“Awww...’ Irene gulped. “I’ve missed you too love,’

“Ok, Belle’s been told to rest so either in the bedroom or on the couch you,’ Aden said as Belle and Irene let go of each other, Belle rolling her eyes before starting to drag her feet.

“Yes boss...’

Aden walked up behind Belle and put both arms on each side of her shoulder as she kept dragging her feet over to the couch. “You know you love being waited on so stop complaining...’ Aden grinned as Belle craned her neck to look at him, a grin plastered across her face.

One week later

Once again flowers were piled up, not just outside the house this time, but also inside. Roses, Franjapanies, lilly’s. All sorts of flowers were starting to clutter the house up. But everyone only had one thing on their mind.

Chelsea’s funeral...

The church was beginning to get cluttered as almost the whole town had shown up, and more friends from outside town, from Sydney, people had even travelled up from Melbourne to attend the service and burial or Chelsea.

-------------------------------

“Thanks for coming...’ Matilda and Ric heard Belle’s voice as the walked up toward them.

“Belle...’ Mattie said as Belle turned around and saw Matilda and Ric standing in front of her as Lucas slowly made his way up behin them.

“Mattie...’ Belle emphasized Matilda’s named as both girls wrapped their arms around each other into a tight hug before rocking from side to side. “It’s so good to see you, thanks for coming...’

“Your welcome... I’m so sorry we couldn’t here before but I just passed my P’s yesterday,’ Matilda said as they pulled apart, kissing each side of each other’s cheeks.

“I’m just glad your here... how’s Cassie?’ Belle asked as Matilda smiled and turned around and pointed to Cassie walking down the path with a three year old blonde haired, dark skinned boy.

“Is that...’

“Luc’s son...’ Matilda finished off her sentance before nodding as Belle just stared at the little boy’s large blue eyes and the very small tux he was wearing.

“Wow...’ Belle muttered as Cassie looked up and saw Belle before smiling gently and waving at her friend.

Belle smiled a small smile before waving back at Cassie.

“Good to see you Belle...’ Ric said as Matilda moved out of the way and he hugged his friend. “How are you?’

Belle sighed before nodding a couple of times. “I’m... emotional. I wont say I’m fine because I’m not but I’m getting there, both Aden and I are...’ she replied as Ric nodded and pulled away.

The church was completely packed as soft music played in the background. Aden and Belle were the last to walk in and sit beside Irene who was already balling her eyes out and had just about completely soaked her hankercheif.

As they sat down, Belle almost instantly began sobbing as Aden wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his chest. Tears slowly started crawling down his cheeks and he let go a couple of sobs as the soft music began to fade and the priest began to speak.

“On behalf on Aden, Belle, Irene, Roman, Nicole and Leah, they thank you for coming and supporting them and falling as much in love with Chelsea as they loved her.

Chelsea Anabelle Jefferies, born on the 25th of October 2007 was a bright, bubbly, cheely little girl who had both of Belle and Aden in her but Belle’s cheeky personality. Walking at nine months old and toilet trained by the time she was two, she was very observant of her parents love and devotion for each other and the people they cared about.

But tragically, Chelsea was taken from her bedroom and her carer at the time knocked unconcious. After such a long time of looking for Chelsea, they finally recieved news and identified their daughter.

I would now like you to stand for the lords prayer...’”

----------------------------------------

The house was completely packed as everyone had left the burial and returned to Irene’s house for the wake. A picture of Chelsea sat near the stairs and food had been placed everywhere, even outside.

Matilda, Lucas, Ric, Cassie, Annie, Geoff, Jai and even Drew had come back to the house and were in a group catching up on all the old times they had spent together. Nicole was rocking her new baby sister up in Irene’s room away from all the noise. Leah and Roman had gone for a walk along the beach. Irene was making herself a coffee. And Belle and Aden were in their room.

Sniff after sniff, Aden rocked Belle back and forth as they both cried. Belle was crouch over Aden as he had one arm around the front of her waist and one around her back. Stroking her hair gently as she dug her head into the crook of his arm as she cried uncontrollably into him and slowly rocked back and forth. Resting his head in the back of her head he kept whispering to her.

“It’s ok, well get through this, we will... I love you...’ before rubbing her back and gently holding her waist again.

“We will get through this......’

5 months later

Staring into the full length mirror, Belle rubbed her stomach as she wore a yellow, green and orange dress and a red belt around the top of her now 8 and a ½ month pregnant stomach. She also wore a green head scarf around her neck and a pair of yellow flat’s. Sighing she looked up and saw Aden watching her in the mirror with a grin plastered on his face.

“You look gorgeous...’ he spoke in such awww.

“I look like a balloon...’ she said back with a grin also on her face. “I was just thinking of the first time I was pregnant with Chelsea, I wasn’t as big as this...’ she said as Aden pushed himself off the door frame which he was leaning on and walked toward her, wrapping his hands around her waist and resting them on her baby belly and his head in her right shoulder.

“You were still gorgeous...’ he said as he planted a kiss on the side of her cheek.

“Do you think she’s watching us, from heaven?’ Belle asked as Aden nodded sincerely.

“Of course she is...’ Aden replied as he lifted his head and monouvered Belle around so she was now facing him.

Gazing lovingly deep into each other’s eyes, they got lost in the moment as Belle leant up and started kissing him, deeply passionate as Aden softly slipped his tongue into her mouth and cupped her right cheek with his left hand and sat his other hand at the bottom of her back and pulled her gently into him, pulling away only for a breath as they continued their passionate and yet tender kisses.

Slowly Aden pulled away as Belle took a long, deep breath in and slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.

“You ready to go? Nic cant wait to show us their baby boy and her new ring,’ Aden said as Belle had to take a moment to gather her breath.

She then nodded.

“Let’s go,’ she finally said as Aden smiled as they entwined their fingers neatly into each other and exited the room, finally happy on their new beginning.
