~ Synopsis ~
Hunter
Three years ago I thought my world had completely fallen apart. I’ve been living day to day for my daughter, never really focusing on myself.
The day that I walked into that room and saw Kali was the day my life changed. She completely tipped my world upside down and I’m just not sure if my heart can take it.
She was unexpected and it scared the living daylights out of me.
Kali
I thought I had gotten out.
I was wrong.
When he came for me i thought my life was over. I never considered him coming back would change my life forever. I never dreamed what he did to me would lead me towards a man who would cherish and love me for me.
When you think your life is over and you don’t see a future, all you can do is live day by day, only to hope that one day the unexpected will come and make it all right.

HUNTER
Today was the day that would change our lives
forever. Our little girl was making her entrance into the world. Rushing into
the hospital with Jana by my side, both of us can’t stop smiling, knowing this
is it.
“Excuse me.” Taking a
deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. “My wife is in labor, we need some
help.” I grab the first nurse I see.
“Of course.
Let me grab a wheelchair and I’ll take you right on up.” She says, smiling
sweetly at the two of us.
Once we are placed in the maternity room, her doctor
comes in, “Let’s check and see how many centimeters you’re dilated, Jana.”
The look on the doctor’s face scares me as he makes
his way back over to Jana after putting on his gloves.
“What’s wrong, doc?” Taking a deep breath trying to
calm my nerves. After everything that we have been through trying to conceive,
I don’t know if I can handle any bad news right now.
“Nothing at all, looks like your little girl is
ready to make her entrance into the world. Jana, are you ready to push?”
“YES!” She screams along with making a grunting
sound, and I know she’s more than ready.
“Alright then, let’s meet your little girl.” The doc
says smiling.
After about an hour of pushing, a lot of screaming,
I see that Jana is getting tired and something just doesn’t feel right to me.
Nothing seems to be helping her through the pain. When she looks up at me her
face is heartbreaking, my wife’s in pain and there isn’t a damn thing I can do
to help her.
“Come on honey, a few more pushes and let’s meet our
baby girl.” Trying to calm her nerves and help her through this any way I can.
After a few more pushes while all I can do is hold
her hand and encourage her over and over, when all of a sudden Jana pushes down
hard one last time and we hear the most beautiful sound in the world. Our baby
girl crying.
The doctor hands her off to the nurse to be cleaned,
and I can’t stop looking at my beautiful girl. She’s the most precious thing
I’ve ever seen. The nurse asks me if I want to cut the umbilical cord and I
jump at that.
The doctor tells my wife to push one last time to
expel the placenta. That’s when I hear it. The most horrifying sound, almost
like a blood quenching scream, and I’ll never forget it.
The doctor and staff rush around the room,
announcing that she’s hemorrhaging. It seems like forever as I observe them
attaching emergency medical equipment to my wife. Then they finally take Jana
to the operating room, leaving me alone with our precious little girl.
I’m numb. I don’t know what to think. My bundle of
joy is lying right in front of me, but my heart is shattering and ripping out
of my chest for my wife.
I’m sitting rocking Alyssa and I can’t stop looking
at how beautiful she is. Time seems to be going at a snail’s pace waiting for
answers regarding my wife before the doctor finally comes back in.
“Hunter.” The sound of my name pulls me from my
thoughts and I glance up at Dr. Steele. He swallowed what had to be a lump in
his throat. “I’m so sorry. We did everything in our power to stop the
hemorrhaging, but there wasn’t anything we could do. She lost too much blood.
We lost her, Hunter.”
The doctor takes Alyssa out of my arms and hands her
to the nurse again. I lose it. I hit my knees and completely break down, crying
on the hospital floor. There is talking around me, but do to the roaring in my
ear I can’t hear anything that’s actually being said.
How
am I supposed to go on without Jana? She’s my life.
We were so excited to be having Alyssa. I just don’t understand. We were high
school sweethearts. We got married right after college and had been trying to
conceive for almost five years before we found out we were pregnant. We wanted
a child for so long. Jana and I knew that having a child was a big
responsibility. We were determined to raise a wonderful child, or at least
figure out how to be the best parents in the world. Now, it seems the dream is
shattered. I can’t lose Jane. She’s my wife.
I stand up and start yelling for Jana, thinking
maybe the doctor was wrong and, she was coming back to us.
“Hunter, you have to be strong for your daughter.
Remember you may have lost Jana, but you have to focus on Alyssa now. Is there
anyone I can call to come down here?”
I can’t even begin to think, let alone answer him.
Thank goodness my brother and his girlfriend come in. They both rush to me.
“We will get through this Hunt, I promise you.” I
can feel Heath’s arms go around my hugging me tight.
