《VERDICT OF LOVE》Chapter 28
Advertisement
Have you ever been confronted with a question on your mind but you keep running away wishing it will just uphold until you had the answer.
And here I am with Mum Eliana, Shane, Chole, and a nurse in my room all staring at me while I gape as a horse caught on a headlight.
"Shiloh?" Chole calls snapping into my thought " what name are you giving to the baby?" She asks with a smile on her face.
If only she knows what dilemma I am in with just that simple topic, don't get me erroneous I have a first name for this baby but I can't seem to make a discussion on the last name, and that is when my dilemma started.
But come to think of it should not be cogitating over this matter because my last name Sante should be perfect but then again I can't let my son have a last name which brings the thought of loneliness and not of a Family.
Putting that aside, leaving My family's last name Dante and Mum Eliana's last name Cristian or on second thought Sante would be a better option.
" um...umm... His name would be " I say giving Mum Eliana an anxious look while holding the baby to my chest.
I close my eyes for a few minutes taking a deep breath before looking down at the familiar hazel eyes bringing a wide smile to my lip.
I press a tender kiss on his forehead mumbling something against his forehead before resting on the pillow against the headboard.
"His name is Wilmer Berney Cristian," I say before grinning widely.
"That is a beautiful name dear," Mum Eliana says with a soft smile while Chole places a supportive hand on my shoulder.
"Here fill in the details on this form," the nurse standing beside Shane says handing over a form to me with a smile on her lip.
" Okay," I full in the name of the baby before writing my name and then signing.
My hand came to a stop between ticking check on the single parents' block or both parents before gazing on the space provided for the father's name and signature.
Before I could tick on the single parents block Mum Eliana pull the form and pen away " I will fill in the rest information" she says leaving me bewildered " I wish I could spend today with you and my grandson but I have to go through on this business trip," she placed a tender kiss on Wilmer's head before locking gaze with Chole" I need to have a word with you before leaving" she demands receiving a low yes from Chole.

"Have a safe trip" I call after her wishing her goodbye as she walks towards the door with the nurse and Chole behind her.
I sigh audibly, finally, I am leaving this hospital after spending three more days here " take this" Shane says placing a brown bag on the bed containing my clothes and some other necessity before taking Wilmer from me.
"Thanks for being here and also for the clothes" I gave an apologetic smile since he had to leave the restaurant just to be here.
"I am only doing this to get you to start working at the restaurant once again " I laugh before getting off the bed with his help.
I walk into the bathroom attached to the room before taking my bath and then changing into a purple blouse, blue jeans pairing it up with a black slipper.
" you don't know how happy I am to get rid of this hospital gown and finally be in my clothes and not this horrible gown," I say walking out of the bathroom before folding the gown and then placing it neatly on the bed.
"So what are your plans?" I move towards the couch taking a seat beside him while watching him play with Wilmer.
"With the help of Summer and Emma, I was able to rent an affordable house with some of the money I made" I explain.
"That is a start," he says discreetly with a nod of his head " and I trust you will figure the rest out"
Our attention draws towards the door as Chole walks in " okay it's time we leave" she announced with a smile while walking towards me with a wheelchair.
I stare at her with a raised eyebrow" you know I can walk perfectly well and I don't need a wheelchair for that"
"I know but you need the wheelchair to be able to feed Wilmer since I guess he must be hungry" my baby whimpers in agreement.
Chole helps me into the wheelchair before placing Wilmer in my arms" it seems he is undergoing clustering feeding. I read about it online" I explain while stroking his cheek with my finger.
"Yes, it is most common between early babies" Thank goodness I am wearing a blouse and not a gown.
We left the hospital in Shane's car before arriving at my new home" we are here?" I announce getting out of the car with Wilmer sleeping soundly on my shoulder.
My eyes twirl around the house, the house is just the way I imagine it to be, you can't say it is small or big but it feels like home. A new home and a fresh beginning for me and my son.

I grin widely breathing in the warm air before walking towards the door" Chole were you able to get the house key from Emma"
"Yes," she scrambles through her bag for the key before handing it over to me.
I use one hand in opening the door while the other around Wilmer holds him in place while he squirms on my shoulder.
"Welcome home " I gasp socked by everyone present in the house.
I thought they were all busy today but what is Emma, Damien, Louis, Summer, William doing here with wide grins on their faces.
"I thought you won't be able to make it today," I say voicing out my thought before looking at Shane with a knowing look in his eyes" you are in on this surprise?" I ask sending him a playful glare.
"We all planned this to make your new home look almost the way you like it and even Nurse Chole is in on this," he says pointing at her.
"Okay check the arrangement and see if you love it" Emma insists before taking Wilmer from me who has calmed down a bit.
I walk into the living room studying the glamour of the place, the living room was decorated with four couches, a wooden table in the middle decorated by a flower vase.
I smile widely seeing the brown-colored rug placed under the table complimenting the colors of the couch also not forgetting the Tv placed on the wall.
I walk into the kitchen which is attached to the living room, I laugh overwhelmed with happiness" This is wonderful. Thank you so much for all this what have I done to deserve this?"
"Come on don't be so emotional," Louis says nudging my shoulder playfully.
I return his smile before walking up the stairs, they were two doors to the right which are the bedrooms while by the left a door leading to the bathroom.
I open the door to one of the rooms which is supposedly mine, the arrangement of the room is perfect for my taste, the grey, white and blue color of the curtains complimenting the duvet and bed sheet which surprisingly I like.
Besides the Full XL bed is a baby crib well arranged, I place my hand on the bed feeling how soft and comfortable it will be while I sleep.
I smile remembering the day I went furniture shopping with Emma and Summer and they help in choosing the bed and baby crib.
A study desk and a chair were placed just beside the nightstand with a few of my books and material placed on it and also a medium size closet containing my clothes.
I check the other two rooms before walking back into the living room to find Louis, Damien, Shane, and William who have Wilmer in his arms.
While Chole set table in the kitchen and Emma and Summer dish out the food.
I grin widely from the Joy of having everyone around" Thanks so much, I actually love the way you all put things together, and to be sincere it would have been near as impossible for me to do any of this" Shane reply with a nod, William and Damien reply with a shrug, While my girls reply by pulling me into a hug before urging Chole to join and Louis being is usually self said something sarcastic.
After everyone left leaving me, Chole and Wilmer I decide to take a bath.
I change into my pajamas before drying my hair with a towel, I walk into the bedroom with the towel still around my hair walking towards the baby crib where I placed Wilmer a few minutes ago to sleep, I watch him as he sleeps laying on his belly with hands curled into fists beside his head facing towards the left.
I stroke his cheek lovely with my finger" Wilmer Berney Cristian," I say testing his name on my lips once again.
He whimpers softly making a cute pout.
I sigh audibly placing the towel on the chair beside the desk then turning the light off before dropping the curtains.
I walk out of the room closing the door silently behind me before sauntering down the stairs towards the kitchen.
I fill a jug with water for later before filling a glass with water" Can't sleep" Chole's voice came from behind me almost making me drop the glass of water.
"No, I just came down to full this jug for later," I say pointing towards the jug.
She replies with a nod before turning on the Tv and then making herself comfortable on the sofa" I can't sleep" she says flipping through the channels" You know being in a new environment and a new home but I was hoping to watch a movie could help"
"Yeah, actually this is also new for me and not to talk about this is the first time I am living alone in a house. I mean I am not alone since you are here but it's different " I say taking a seat beside her as she decides on a comedy movie before turning the volume down a little.
"I understand and by the way, you have nice friends who cherish and care about you a lot," she says with a smile gracing her lips.
"I know" I whisper focusing on the movie-going on with contentment bubbling inside me.
