Solar Hunts: A Princess' Quest
Chapter 4
Hospital Difficulties
Three hours had passed, only three, as Andrea looked at the clock on the far wall in the waiting room. Two since Serena was admitted into a hospital ward, and placed into a private ward. As she looked up at her brother's form, she remembered what had happened as they arrived at the hospital.
***Flashback***
"Darien!" Andrea's voice called, as she came up to him in the diner.
"Guys, you're here?!" Darien blinked weakly, as he sat at a table with a Styrofoam cup.
"Darien, what happened?" Jacob asked, as he sat down in a spare chair. "Why is Serena in hospital at this time?"
Darien groaned and remembered the news that the doctor had given him, as soon as security had escorted Mrs. Tsukino out of the hospital. Blue eyes filled with misery looked up at the duo, and Andrea and Jacob quietly gasped, knowing that something was terribly wrong."
"Darien?" Andrea asked softly, as she rested a hand over his.
"Serena's still unconscious, Andrea." Darien muttered, as he rubbed his eyes. "She hasn't woken at all, and the doctors are still checking up on her health."
"What about the child?" Andrea continued, and caught a flash of emotion. "Darien, don't tell me that my sister?"
"Serena had a miscarriage with the child, Andrea." Darien croaked as he closed his eyes. "According to what the doctor said, it was going on for a couple of hours, before it started to show?"
Jacob and Andrea looked at each other, disbelief was written on the expressions, before they turned to look at the man who had called them. Darien was pale, and not like his normal self, as they stood up. Darien looked up in shock, at the movement, before they lightened as he realised what they were doing.
"Why don't we go and wait in the waiting room for some news, Darien?" Andrea asked, as she held a hand forward.
Darien chuckled weakly, as he allowed Andrea to help him up, and together the trio moved towards the waiting room on the ward, where Serena was currently kept.
***End Flashback***
Jacob stopped pacing, as he smiled weakly at Andrea. Darien had been called into Serena's room, over an hour back, and still hadn't returned to the waiting room. With a solemn look on both of their faces, they weren't aware of the waiting room door opening, and a young lady being helped in by a young man.
"Andrea, Jacob?" Darien's voice called their name lightly, as he held onto Serena's shoulders.
The duo looked up, to see that Serena was leaning gently against Darien, and Andrea gasped as she stood. Serena smiled weakly, as tears sprung to her eyes, at the sudden feeling of loss. Jacob quietly stood, as Darien released Serena, for her to quietly move over to her sister.
"Did you tell her, Darien?" Jacob asked, as the other man came to stand next to him.
"She already knows about it, Jacob." Darien sighed, as he remembered the heartbreak. "She felt it, when she woke up, and I just had to confirm the news."
Serena buried her face in her sister's shirt, and clutched at the jacket, with a whimper escaping her lips. Andrea wrapped her sister in a comfortable embrace, and cooed down at her, as she moved to help her be seated comfortably. Serena was terribly fragile, and her siblings had known it, as they seated themselves back down in the empty waiting room.
"Where is Ms. Tsukino?" Andrea asked, as she looked between Darien and Serena.
"She was escorted out by security." Darien muttered, as Serena smiled. "I don't think she was aware that trying to insult the Nightingale family would not do well for her in this hospital?"
"It is expected, Darien." Andrea ran her fingers through her sister's silver locks. "Our families are huge benefactors to this hospital, and to lose that sort of trust?"
"Why don't you make a deal with her?" Serena squeaked as she glanced at her older siblings.
Darien blinked, and turned to grin evilly at his wife, who started to blush at the familiar look. Serena buried her face in her sister's shirt, while Andrea and Jacob laughed lightly, as they remembered how Serena tended to act when they were at formal events.
"What sort of deal did you have in mind, Serena?" Jacob asked, as he spared her the embarrassment of having to cooperate with Darien. "Because I believe she'll try to come and see you either way?"
"We know the board of directors in the hospital, don't we?" Serena asked, as she pulled away from her sister. "Well, I'm pretty sure that they won't like it if their biggest benefactors pulled out of the hospital, due to a mistake on the part of a woman?"
"I see where you're going?" Darien chuckled, as it clicked in his mind. "If she doesn't cooperate, she and her family will not be able to get treated by this hospital or any of its branches."
Serena giggled and gave a gentle nod, while Jacob and Andrea were amazed. Despite that they knew that Serena was currently unhappy with her living conditions, she would still try and find some way to make sure that the people she was living with, were in a worse off condition than she was. Serena still kept to her maiden name, knowing that she wasn't ready to take on Darien's name, despite everything that had happened, but given enough time, it would be fine.
"Do you want to go back to your room, Serena?" Darien asked, as he caught her yawning.
"I would like to, if you don't mind." Serena murmured, as she let another yawn escape. "Bye guys, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye, little one." Her siblings called.
"I'll stay with you tonight, and then someone else will be with you tomorrow." Darien whispered into her ear, as they stood outside the waiting room. "The administration staff said they'd lend me a spare bed for the night, while we rest?"
"Thank you, Dimi." Serena murmured.
Darien chuckled softly, and kissed her on the forehead, as he led her into their private room. Being the heirs of the Whitehall and Nightingale families allowed them to pull that sort of favour, when they needed it, because they had people who truly cared, rather than being after their money.
"Dimi, can we get the papers ready by tomorrow?" Serena asked, as she sat on the bed.
"What is this for, darling?" Darien asked, as he sat on the spare bed.
"I think it's time I lose the Whitehall name, don't you?" Serena smiled, as she moved to her side. "I'm everything but the name to be a Nightingale bride, as you so put it?"
"I'll call the lawyer in the morning, precious." Darien smiled, as they softly kissed. "Now, off to bed, because it will probably be a busy day tomorrow?"
Serena nodded, and both of them moved slowly off into dreamland, once they closed their eyes. The look on the far wall, started to tick to a late hour, and a nurse came in, to see that Serena and Darien were curled up on the same bed, desperate to be together rather than apart.
