Offer To The CEO

685 A surprise arrival - part 4

Friday continued …

James said nothing when he came in with a cup of tea for Hou Yi and a coffee for himself. He simply sat there ready to deal with whatever happened, as even over the last few weeks he had realised how devoted to each other his sister and brother-in-law were.

James observed that all Hou Yi was doing was staring at the wall, in shock with what had happened and worried about what the future would bring.? He hoped that he had not scared him too much, but there was a reality that they all had to confront.? Every so often Hou Yi would utter "Why?" James felt at a total loss in what to say.

Just over an hour after they arrived, a nurse in theatre scrubs came into the room, saying "CEO Hou could you please come with me." Hou Yi stood up and James immediately followed him.? Upon entering a room, James easily determined that it was the theatre scrub room and simply implemented what he had learnt in his training.? Out of the corner of his eye he observed Hou Yi meekly following the nurse's instructions.? That was not the brother-in-law he knew, but the funny thing was that he observed Hou Yi's bodyguards outside the scrub room watching what was happening.

After he was ready Hou Yi was taken to the theatre room, and the nurse tried to block James' path saying "You cannot go in there…"

James' knowing the potential for what Hou Yi could be walking into said "You think I am going to let my brother-in-law go in there alone, forget it. Plus, more importantly I am a qualified nurse." With that he forced his way into the theatre just behind Hou Yi.

Seeing James come in Rosemary nodded to him, as if to say things were OK, and she and the obstetrician were getting ready to remove the first baby from Anna, who despite not feeling pain was looking at Hou Yi cursing him. James had to stop himself from laughing because now Hou Yi was in Anna's firing line because she was not in control. James however did not want to watch them performing the last part of the C-Section so looked at his sister's face and kept his focus there.

A few minutes later, throughout the theatre room there was a loud cry, marking the safe delivery of the baby. Rosemary, brought it up, swaddled in blankets and briefly placed it n Anna's chest saying "You have a little boy. Say Hello, as we need to take him to the special care unit because he is a little early. You should go with him Yi, and we will bring the second little one when they are born along, to join their brother.? James go with him please, while we finish up here."

Both Anna and Hou Yi smiled at their little miracle, Hou Yi gently touching his nose before Rosemary picked him back up handing him to another nurse to take the baby away. Following Rosemary's directions Hou Yi and James left the theatre and followed the nurse to the special care nursery.

James turned back just before he exited the theatre, realising that there were concerns not only about the second baby but Anna as well.? No wonder they wanted Hou Yi out of there.? Despite his training that was a place he did not want to be, so dealing with his stubborn brother-in-law was the easiest thing to do.

When the baby was settled, James asked "How does it feel to be a father?"

"I do not know. I was not expecting it for a few weeks …"

"Just take it in. Stay here, and I will go and once I know Anna is out of theatre, I will come and let you know."

Hou Yi nodded and wanted to go but stayed focused on his son. James was grateful that Hou Yi was distracted, and returned towards the theatre, re-scrubbing and slipping back into the room. He realised that despite the tension and the fact that they had now knocked Anna out that they were working calmly and methodically to deal with what they were facing.? The second little one was being worked on by two nurses to the side.
