Chapter 226

Luther

I jumped in the shower and got ready as fast as I could.  If the police told Nicolas they should hurry at the house it means they are busy with the paper work and if I was him, I would go straight to the hospital to see my kid.  So, I finished as fast as I could, got in my Mercedez Benz AMG and drive as fast as I could to the hospital.  I walked towards the entrance of the hospital when I saw the one and only Anton VanDyk get out of a taxi.  I picked up my pace and got to the maternity ward, I quickly went to the security and told them that anyone that comes looking for Mia they are not allowed in no matter what.  I bumped into JP at the entrance of the ward.  “Luther what’s the rush?”  He asked smiling. “Mia’s husband is downstairs in the lobby.”  “Fuck” “My thoughts exactly.  Did she sign the paper work?”  “Yes, she’s just getting everything together and waiting for Nicol and Nicolas.”  “It’s fine I’ll take her she will be staying with me in any case.  Can you organize another way out of this place?”  “Yes, do you have a car seat?”  “In the car I forgot to take it.”  “No worries.”  JP walked to the nurse that was in front and I went to Mia.

“Luther so nice to see you again.”  She said with a huge smile, or should I say as far as her mouth could open.  With all the scars and bruises.  Now I had the displeasure of telling her her ex was here, which will ruin her day completely. Fuck.  “Hi Mia, how did you sleep?”  “Like a baby, JP only woke me when Nicolene needed to feed other than that he let me rest.”  “I’m very happy to hear that, but I do have some bad news.”  “Is that why I’m being discharged today?”  “Yes, his out.”  “You’re not serious?”  I didn’t even have to say his name.  “Unfortunately, I am serious, he got bail.”  “Oh my God he will come for us.”  “Mia stay calm please, but his already in the hospital I told security not to let him in.”  “He will find a way Luther, his going to kill me this time of that, I’m sure.”  “No, he won’t because his not going to find you.  Is everything packed?”  “Yes.”  “Then let’s go.”  JP walked towards us while I held Nicolene in my arms and Mia walking slowly but surely next to me.  “You found another way out?”  “Yes, follow me.”  He took Mia by her arm and helped her to walked to the emergency exit. I could see Mia was in so much pain.  “JP I’ll carry Mia you carry the baby.”  Mia looked at me in pure shock.  “No, you can’t possible carry me.”  “And why not?”  “I’m to heavy.”  “Nonsense just tell me if I hurt you.”  I put my arms underneath her back and legs and lifted her off the ground.  She did winch for a second and then stopped “You, okay?”  “Better now.”  Me carrying her made the journey to the car so much faster.  “Where are you parked?”  JP asked as we approached the parking area.  We wanted to get to the car as soon as possible to make sure Anton doesn’t see her.  “Not far.”  I walked in front as soon as we approached the car, I popped the truck, put all the bags in the truck and then put Mia in the car.  JP was strapping little Nicolene into the baby seat.  As soon as everyone was safe and I got in the car we heard someone screaming “Hey wait.”  JP looked in that direction.  “It’s him, it’s him.”  “Get in JP.”  JP jumped into the car and I basically spined away from the hospital, when we were about 2 streets away from the hospital I started to drive slower.

“Is he gone?”  I heard Mia ask from the back. “We lost him don’t worry Mia.”  I drove to my apartment building.  Then remembered JP was still with us.  “Should I drop you at your place?”  “No let me help you get them settled then I’ll leave.”  “Are you sure?”  I asked him because he worked the whole night.  “Yes, I’m sure.”  When we got to the apartment building, I parked in the underground parking.  I helped Mia out of the car while JP was looking after Nicolene.  Mia insisted on walking so I left her to walk to the elevators with JP while I got the bags.  I joined them at the elevators and pressed the penthouse button.  JP wiggled his eye brows in a way of saying ‘The penthouse nice’ As we entered the penthouse the first thing Mia said was “Are you painting?”  “Yes, I thought you were only coming tomorrow.”  “What are you painting?”  “I’m painting Nicolene’s room.”  JP’s eyes got as big as saucers but not Mia she just asked “Can I see?”  “Yes, off course.”  Funny she didn’t ask anything about her ex again.  I took her hand and walked towards Nicolene’s room; I was painting it a soft pink.  “Wow you did this for Nicolene?”  “I did.”  She came to stand right in front of me and hugged me.  “You didn’t have to.”  “I know but I wanted to.”  “Thank you.”  That is when we heard Nicolene crying.  We walked out of Nicolene’s room and went looking for JP and Nicolene, JP was scratching in one of the bags for a diaper.  “Will you two be okay I need to phone Nicolas.”  “Yes, thank you Luther.”  Mia said.

Nicolas

Nicol and I got what we thought Mia would need and just stuffed things in bags in the baby room.  We had to be quick so we grabbed as much as we could.  We where on our way to the hospital when my phone rang the caller ID said it was Luther.  “Luther what’s wrong?”  “We are at my apartment.  I went to the hospital as soon as you told me Anton was getting released.  It was good I did because when I got there Anton was there as well.”  “Fuck no.”  “Unfortunate yes but I got Mia and Nicolene out of there and they are safe in my penthouse.”  “Thank you, Luther, we’ll be there in a few minutes.”  “We’ll be here.”
