Noelle was making a 'miraculous' recovery. Her face had healed well and she was talking and eating solids as if she had been for those past 2 excruciating weeks. Her minor surgery was successful and they managed to clear all of the fluid out of her lungs. With problems of her own; Noelle still found the time to read to the other sick children and plan her life when she got out.
Only a few people had been in to see her and shs received a lovely bouquet of flowers from her neighbors making sure she was okay. Yesterday she had skyped with her grandparents and they seemed very worried in the fact that their own son didn't tell them she was sick. Typical dad.
Lying on her hospital bed she was flipping through the droning channels as she sliced her 'what was supposed to be' meat as she put the small pieces in her mouth, chewing them well incase she couldn't swallow a solid at the moment. It was hard recovering, but she was making it. She planned on doing a lot more after as well.
A nurse came in and handed Noelle a glass of water and three little pills in orange, blue and white. Honestly, Noelle could care less what they were giving her, she just wanted to get better so she could really make something out of herself. Thanking the nurse she turned her attention back to National Geographic, a personal favorite of hers to watch when she was home alone.

Danny was so busy with doing photoshoots and going to a recent funeral that he had not heard anything from his girls in the longest time. Not giselle, not noelle, not even Gemma. When he finally heard on the news that a beat down went on between Eloise and Noelle, he rushed to the hospital the first chance he got to see her.
Walking up to the front desk, carrying a boquet of daisies with a card on the inside that basically said get well soon with a teddybear on the front, then three balloons that where all just decorated nicely, as well as a box of chocolate covered caramel cherries that Emily sent for her. He talked to the front desk woman for a while before he finally got to the bottom of what Noelle's room was.
He took the elevator to the third floor, getting a smile from a little boy who would not stop messing with the flowers, smelling them about every few minutes. When the doors opened then he went into a sort of a walking-hop type sprint, making it to the room as quick as possible. Dodging nurses, doctors, visitors and other patients he finally reached the correct room and knocked on the already slightly-opened door with his foot.
"Knock knock." He said softly, seeing her. He let out a long breath and suddenly felt weak at her appearance. The sunlight from the window gave her face a sort of glow, the reflection of the bright blue painted room showing in her slightly saddened eyes. She still had a slight gray bruise around her eye, her bottom lip a bit darker than the top, and her cheek having a tiny bandaid on it so he could tell she had healed a lot but he was still worried like crazy. He put the stuff down beside the chair before walking over to her and sitting beside her on the bed. "Oh, Noelle......" He bit his bottom lip, unsure of what exactly to say.

As she was listening to the narrator talk about the African cat pride she heard someone walk into her room. She looked to see Danny. It was such a surprise for her to see him here; very surprising. "Hey Danny!" She said as she scooted over to make room on the bed but suddenly her abdomen hurt and she whimpered with pain before resting her head on the white pillow.
"I know I look a mess but I'm still the same me... Sort of." She said with a smile. The muscles in her mouth were slowly starting to atop swelling. It was about time because kissing Austin was just too painful but she would push through it. Her stitches had dissolved completely and now she was just had to worry about a fractured rib, occasional internal bleeding, and a swollen trachea.
"So what brings you here?" She asked as her eyes looked at the chair to see the flowers, card and balloons. "Are those for me!?" She asked as she grinned. The hospital had shut out all signs of life and the smells there were putrid. Flowers were the next best thing to outside. "And is that chocolate I smell?" She asked as she sniffed the air... Caramel.

He sat down next to her, looking up at the telivision before back at her and listening closley. He wanted to reach out and hug her and let her know that everything would be alright, that she was just having a bad dream about Austin and his ex girlfriend and that when she woke up, he would be right there next to her with a dozen roses or something. He sighed and forced a small smile.
"Yeah, I think the boy on the elevator sniffed all the scent out of the daisies but the chocolates are from Emily. She is working right now, so she could not come with me. Flowers are from my mom, Ballons are from my dad. I have something for you, but it's more of a welcome home present." He said with a small smirk down at her. "I came here to see how you where doing, goofball. That's what brings me here. I know I am a bit late and Austin has probably been in here every second of every day just to see you." He laughed and gently moved a piece of her hair from her slightly sweaty face. He muttered to himself, standing up and opening the blinds to the big window to let the light in.

His family was even thinking and looking out for her. "Please tell your family thanks a million." As she reached for the chocolates and put one in her mouth. The taste was amazing and she missed the chocolate melting in her mouth; it was just hard to chew and swallow something that big.
"Actually... Austin and I; were kind of having a rough time. Really rough time. If I tell you something you promise you won't tell?" She asked as she reached for his hand when he had finished opening the blinds. She held his hand tight, shaking too afraid to let go.
"If I tell you; you must always look at me the same way. No more, no less." This secret was bigger than just her; it involved a lot more people than just her. A lot more people. Innocent ones as well.

He looked concerned and when she put her cold hands on top of his, he held them firmly, holding her hands against his knee. "Of course, I will not tell a soul." He raised one hand as if to perform an oath. "I promise you, I will look at you as the beautiful and smart Noelle Mcshay I have always known." He said, his face going dead with seriousness.
He was secretly afraid of what she would tell him. She would tell him that she was dying or something, or that she wanted to leave Austin or something awful like that. He had no idea what was about to come out of her mouth but whatever it was, it could not be good since Noelle usually didn't concern herself with many problems or drama. "What is it?"

"I um... was pregnant." She said as she suddenly felt this painful twist in her stomach. "But, it wasnt supposed to end like this!" She screamed as she threw the flowers onto the ground. "My child was not supposed to die! I was!" She screamed as the heart rate monitor began to increase. She saw the monitor and began to take deep yoga breaths.
She squeezed Danny's hand and somewhat dug her nails into him. "He was going to be beautiful and smart, athletic, he would be caring, and his favorite super hero would be Superman. I know it. I was supposed to have him, Austin would know then and then soon after he was born I was going to give him up." As she tried not to cry but slow sobs came out of her mouth. "Does that make me a bad person? Does that mean I deserve this!" As she pointed to her face and her stomach, a long slice along her stomach. "He doesnt know Danny... unless, Eloise told him!?" She began to freak out.

Danny looked deeply into her eyes and he felt sad for her. "Noelle...." He said softly, repeating her name until she calmed down. When she finally did, he put his hand on her cheek, stroking her skin with his thumb genlty. "Number one, you were going to do the right thing with that child. Someone somewhere around California would have spoiled him rotten and painted his whole room red and blue with a huge S on the door, just because he thought it would look cool. You would have made an amazing mother too."
"But nobody deserves all of this." He glanced down at her stomach and back into her eyes. "Whats done is done, the past is the past, and one day you will have an amazing baby boy or girl who you can teach how to walk and talk and his first words will be mommy and you will be so happy." He sighed, a few tears welling up so he looked away and controlled himself, wiping away the moisture from his eyes before looking back at her.

 The last couple of weeks had been really hard for Austin. Noelle had been fighting for her life in the beginning and Austin felt like shit. He was the reason this had happened. If he hadn't been wasted then he could have easily stopped the fight before it had even started. He could have kept her safe like she deserved. Then none of this would have happened and they wouldn't be in this mess.
At first, he hadn't even been able to get up the courage to face her in the hospital and she had been through a lot. When he finally had seen her, he always ended up stopping by when she was sleeping or when it was past visiting hours. He wasn't sure if she even knew that he had stopped by as often as he had. Though he hadn't been there for her like he should have. How could he face her after his ex girlfriend and his drunk ass self had almost cost her, her life?
Today was yet another try to see her, though he found himself hoping she would be sleeping again so he could put off facing her a little longer though he knew that his luck would only hold out for so long before he would have to face her and take responsibility for what he had let happen to her. A guy's worst nightmare was to be the one responsible for the woman you loved getting hurt. And he had done just that.
His feet carried him slowly down the white sterile hallways of the hospital, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his leather jacket and his light blue eyes locked on the floor as he walked. He knew how to get to her room and when he finally arrived, he heard voices inside and knew that she was awake. Taking a deep breath he slowly pushed the door open and stepped inside the doorway, his light blue eyes raising from the floor to see Danny sitting on the bed next to Noelle. |

"Just having a child wasn't on my to-do list Danny, what will he think when he figures out that he had a child and now he doesn't? I've never been this confused!" Noelle mumbled to Danny as she heard footsteps round the corner. Noelle knew he had heard; how wonderful.
The heart rate monitor picked up rapidly as Noelle looked from Danny to Austin. Austin seemingly looked normal and his cool self. Figures, he probably didn't remember a thing. Noelle quickly hid the massive slice across her stomach as she asked Danny to give them some time alone.
Once Danny left, Noelle spoke to Austin for the first time in weeks. "I'm glad you came, it's really nice to see you." She smiled as she gestured to the chair next to her. Then she realized that balloons and chocolates littered the seat.
"Let me get that." As she hopped off the bed to clear Danny's gifts. Her rib began to hurt as she clutched her side but then the pain subsided and she lifted her shirt to examine the purple bruise where her rib was broken, revealing the pre C-section scar. "Please, sit." As she slowly sauntered back onto the hospital bed.

Danny looked down for a moment and when the door opened he looked up and his once soft features immidiatley turned hard, his jaw clenching. He stood up at Noelle's orders and walked out of the room, just barely but intentionally bumping into Austin's shoulder on his way out. He stopped by the door and turned to Noelle, his voice coming out rougher than he expected "I will be right outside the door."
He then closed the door carefully behind Austin and sat down in the blue and black seat next to the door, tapping his foot impatiently on the ground. The only time he could remember being this protective of someone was when Gemma was being trashed by another model and he stood up for her and basically ragged the other girl out on all of her flaws. He did not like competition and he usually got what he wanted and he was not sure at first, but now he was absoloutley certain- he wanted the blonde bruised beauty inside the small cramped hospital room.

When Danny bumped into Austin on the way out, his own jaw clenched and he turned his head so his cold blue eyes could stare Danny down as he walked out the door before the door was shut behind them and they were left alone. His gaze turned back to Noelle as she rose from the bed to move the gifts she had just recieved from Danny and he rushed to her side before taking the things away from her and putting them on a nearby table before taking a seat beside the bed as she climbed back into the bed.
When she lifted her shirt to look at the bruises and he saw her injured ribs and the incision from what looked like a C section he winced and glanced down at the floor as he waited for her to get comfortable before he raised his light blue eyes to look at her once more. He had heard a bit of her and Danny's conversation but not enough to understand what was going on so he kept silent for a long time, looking down as he tried to think of something to say to try and express how sorry he was for what he had done to her.
"Noelle I. . . this was all my fault and I don't know how I can. . . even live with myself now, knowing that I was responsible for. . . this. . ." he replied, his eyes filled with sadness and regret and he looked up at her as he spoke, unable to truly express what he wanted to say to her. |

"Don't be silly, it wasn't your fault... She said with a smile as a nurse came to draw some more blood. "How much more blood can you guys take from me?" She then laughed at the nurse as the nurse removed the small needle that held her blood and all of Noelles little secrets. "So what would he have looked like?" Noelle asked as the nurse excitedly sat down at the edge of her bed ad began chattering away. "Tall, very tall. He would have had blond hair and these gorgeous blue eyes I'm sure. Very handsome child." She said as Noelle gave her a semi-hug without hurting herself
After the nurse left she focused back to Austin. "I dont know if I can do this anymore Austin..." She said in a soft whisper so Danny wouldn't hear their too confidential parts. "You are hurting me Austin, I don't know how to make it stop..." As she folded her arms and let them rest against her stomach. "You never even noticed..." She smiled and she laughed to herself.

Danny was becoming impatient, practically digging his nails into the wood of the seat so he stood up when a nurse came into the room and tried to get a peek inside the room but she closed the door in his face. He sighed and whispered to himself "Calm down, Dannyboy. Everything is-" He then stopped talking to himself when he saw a little boy staring at him wierd. He shook his head, running his hand through his blonde hair before pacing a bit back and forth in front of the door, stopping and sitting back down when the nurse came back out.

Austin finally connected two and two together and suddenly got an even worse feeling in the pit of his stomach. Of course he hadn't noticed anything, he was a guy and a shitty boyfriend. It was because of Eloise that he was this way but he wasn't one to go blaming his problems on everyone else.
"I didn't. . . I'm sorry Noelle. . . I understand if you never want to see me again. . . After all, all I do is hurt the ones I love. . ." he replied, rising to his feet as he figured she would probably want him to leave her alone since he wasn't doing anything to make things better for her. |
