Previously:

A few more hours later, the doctor went out of the delivery room, and asked Faisal the most painful question anyone could be asked.

"I'm sorry, bes ent m9'6ar t5tar ben zojtik w wldk. L2n ma n8dar nn8i4 elthnen." 

All Faisal could think about was, Maha would never forgive me for this choice but I can't pick a baby over her. I can't live knowing that I was the reason she lost her life, we can always have another baby, but when will I ever find  someone like Maha?

After long and deep thinking, Faisal made his choice. He was picking his wife, so he nodded absent-mindedly to the doctor and said loudly with finality;

Faisal: zojti, bes e4a fe shy momkin tswonah w ma y7rmni mn wldi wla zojti ra7 akon mamnon lkom 6ol 3omri.

Faisal kept his hopes high, and prayed to god nonstop. He hoped with all his heart and soul that he won't have to lose any of the people who he considers the centre of his universe. He turned to Anoud&Maha's mother.

Faisal: 5alti? 3noud? E4a entom thnenatkom hena, Reemi 3nd meen?

Anoud: don't worry, I called Turki to pick her up from school w he's dropping her off at your mom's. 

Faisal: oh shokran, mfro9' s2lt mn awl bes bali kan msh3'ol.

Noura(Maha's mom): 3la 6ari, ma kan 3ndkom mw3d enty w Turki elyom?

Anoud blushed at that question and made a gesture with her head as if to point out that Faisal was still there, but there was no need since Faisal basically knew everything. 

Flashback:

Faisal and Maha were laying down on the couch, with Reem playing with her dolls on the carpet. Faisal was absent-mindedly rubbing Maha's bump while he was extremely focused on the show he was watching. 

Maha: t9dg Faisal, mrra ra7ma 3anoud w Turki.

Faisal: leeh tr7menhom 7bebti?

Maha: they've trying to get pregnant for a while now w lsa wla shy.

Faisal: hw 6be3i 7bebti twhom.

Maha: la mo twhom, yarb ena ana 7mlt bReemi on our honeymoon. Hom 9arlhom akthr mn sb3 sh'hor w they've been trying. Believe me, they've been trying a lot w ma nf3 shy.

Faisal laughed loudly at Maha's horrified facial expression. 

Faisal: enti esh d5lk b7yatk o5ok mn ha4e elnwa7e?

Maha: mo elmo9eba ena o5oy tzwj my bestfriend ma ynfa3 a5bi 3nha shy.

Faisal: alzm ma 3ly enk ma tgolen l5wati 3n asrarna!

Maha: wsh 3lek a9ln jals'h a36ehom n9ay7.

Faisal: 3la 3noud w Turki mafe ela enhom yshofon doctor..

Maha: shkla ki4aa. 

End of flashback.

Faisal paced back and forth for a couple more hours, dreading the news that he was going to hear. The couple of hours turned into 4. It doesn't feel right, why are they taking so long? When he was a few minutes closer to going insane, the doctor came out of the room with the most exhausted expression Faisal has ever seen.

Doctor: abshrk, gdrna nn8e4hom elthnen, m3 4alk zojtik f8dt dam kther fa t7taj trta7 elftra. 

Faisal nodded frantically, He needed to see her and his baby. 

Faisal: Doctor, momkin ashof Maha awl?

The doctor nodded with a small smile, and lead him to where his wife was resting. His face relaxed into a smile the minute he saw his wife laying peacefully in that bed. His overworking heart relaxed into a steady rhythm. He was brought back to reality when he heard the click of a closing door.

He went and sat next to her and held her hand. He prayed to god, that he keeps her alive; not only for him but for their kids too.

Maha: hmmm, Faisal? 

Faisal: 3yoni? 

Maha: shfta? 

Faisal: lsa, knt ant9'rk.. 

Maha: abeh Faisal, abe ashofa! 

She put her hand on her now nearly flat stomach, and winced in pain. 

Faisal: lma y5f elalm nro7la bl3naya.

Maha: leeh 7a6ena bl3naya? Reemi enwldt w heya a93'ar w ma 76oha bl3naya! 

Faisal: yeah, bes nab9'ah 9'3eef shwy.. La t5afen, bykon a7sn enshallah! Klshay bykon a7sn. 

Without being able to stop himself, a few tears escaped from Faisal's eyes and they dropped on Maha's hand. 

Maha: hw Faisal shfeek? 

Faisal: no more babies, mn 3'er shar. 

Maha: I'm fine. 

Faisal: you weren't fine, 5loni a5tar Maha! T3rfen wah m3nat 5loni a5tar? Mab3'a amir bHa4a elsh3or mrra thanya fe 7yati. 

Maha: 5laa9 e7na al7in kwysen, la t5af. 

A few hours later, after everyone left to go back home and rest. Maha turned to Faisal, and begged him that they go see their baby. He nodded hesitantly, and reached out for her hand. Maha put on her 3baa, and they started walking slowly to the nursery. The minute they reached the nursery and entered, they asked for their baby. 

The nurse lead them to another room, and asked them to wear gloves, shoe covers and some hairnets. They saw a tiny creature in a cubicle surrounded by machines everywhere. Both Maha and Faisal felt as if their hearts were constricting. 

Maha: ya glb omik enta, 7bebii..

Maha couldn't stop the tears that were streaming down her cheeks, that baby boy is a part of her. He's a piece of her heart and she prays to god she doesn't lose him. Faisal rubbed her back gently, and squeezed on her arm. 

Faisal: he'll be fine, la t5afen. 

Maha: esh nsameh?

Faisal: eli tben I'm up for it. 

Maha: allah y7f9'k, besmellaah.

Kmlt Maha, td3i for her son.

Fate 2.0: Part1

This is like a mini-seqeul for Maha&Faisal.

Enjoy!

"Reem! You have 2 minutes to come down, or I'm leaving without you!"

My husband shouted from downstairs. I tied her little pigtails quickly, and pushed her gently to go down.

Maha: yallaa! Wla baba byro7 bdonik.
Reem: mommy, why are you not taking me to school?
Maha: mommy is tired 7bebi, I can't go to school with you.

Then her face went into an adorable pout, and she crossed her arms.

Maha: baba bya54ik, ana ajebk b3den, yalla! Smile, baby.
Reem: mama! Can you come take me from school with the baby? I told all my friends that my mom has a baby inside but they don't believe me.
Maha: m3lesh mama, the baby is not ready to come yet. He needs a week or two more. 
Reem: he's taking so long! 
Maha: it's okay, a few more weeks won't hurt.

She kissed the hand that was holding hers and my baby bump, we went down the stairs. Faisal took her bag from me, and then he leaned in to kiss me, but I turned at the last minute so he only got to kiss my cheek. I was still angry after our fight last night.

Faisal: Maha..
Maha: rou7, btt25r Reem 3n elmdrsa.
Faisal: Mahawi, lw sm7te..
Maha: 5la9 Faisal, mo wgta al7en wla ana ly 5lg.
Reem: bye mommy! Love you.
Faisal: yalla m3 elsalama 7bebti, entbhi 3la nfsk.

I blew a kiss to my daughter, because my 9 month pregnant bump wouldn't allow me to bend down properly, the minute I looked up and saw Faisal staring at me I dropped my smile. Mean? I know I wanted him to feel a bit more guilty before I let it go.

I wasn't as angry as I was pretending to be, but I needed him to feel guilty. He was asking me to stop working and I was never agreeing to that. I started feeling light, yet very painful cramps. Oh crap.

It's okay, it's all okay. I went up stairs to my room and packed my bag slowly, even though I was trying to be so calm the cramps were only minutes apart, and I don't think this is what's supposed to happen.

I took deep and slow breaths to calm myself down and to ease the pain. As I rubbed my stomach in soft circular motions, I speed dialled Anoud. She was the one to most likely not panic, plus she took this week off so she doesn't have work.

Maha: alo, shhhhhh..

I winced in pain while talking, but I tried as much as I can not to show it.

Anoud: MAHA! Esh feek?

Maha: cra-sh*t- mps.

Anoud: cramps? Mo contractions?

Maha: would I be wrong about this?

Anoud: wein Faisal?

Maha: twa mn 10 dgayg 6al3 hwa w- my god this isn't supposed to hurt like this.

Anoud: ana bl6reg, don't move! 

Maha: 3noud! 

I was about to scream blue murder at her, but thankfully she hung up on me. As more time passed, the cramps only got worse. I'm going to call Faisal, I don't care how mad I'm supposed to be at him I don't think the pain I'm going through is normal.

I punched in his number, and waited for him to answer and as usual I didn't wait for long. 

Faisal: babe?

Maha: Fai-aaaahhhh..

Faisal: shfeek?

You could hear the panic in his voice, and I was kind of regretting calling him because well he's driving. 

Maha: just, please please please come home. 

I paced through the house while taking long deep breaths. The maids were standing on one side watching out carefully for me, and not even 5 full minutes since I hung up on him Faisal came back. Before I could run up to him, my water broke. I looked down in panic, only to see that a little blood got mixed in too. I felt as if my heart was being squeezed by a force I can't push away; I can't lose this baby. I need to have this baby, not only for me but for my husband, and my daughter. 

Faisal: MAHA! Yalla goumi 7bebti nro7 elmstashfa.

I nodded and walked slowly to the door while one of the maids rushed to get me my 3baya. I took deep fast breaths, and started rubbing my stomach in circles. In one way, I was trying to do it to calm myself down but in another I was trying to make sure that my baby is still there. It was an extremely painful car ride, but Faisal had the radio 3la el8uraan and he held my hand all the while. He rushed me into the emergency section in a wheelchair, and started  shouting for the nearest nurse to come and help. 

Nurse: yes, sir? What is the problem?

Faisal: my wife is having a baby.

Nurse: it's ok, sir. It usually takes a while before the baby comes out. 

Faisal: you're not understanding me, my wife is having a baby and she's bleeding! She's not having contractions she's having cramps. I want a doctor to come see her, now!

Nurse: ok, sir. I will call the doctor now, you come with me to the delivery room. 

I swear I could feel Faisal's forced smile, and I could only imagine how intimidating he looked. Especially with his height and built. 

Faisal: thank you.

Three hours later I was laying on a bed soaked in blood; even after they gave 2 blood bags I was still losing more blood than I should. I was hanging on the last thread of patience that I had, and I was latched on my husband's hand. 

Doctor: Mr.Alx your wife's situation is getting more dangerous, we have to get her into surgery right now, because the baby's heartbeat is becoming weaker. 

Faisal looked at me for reassurance on what to do, and I nodded weakly. I was becoming extremely tired, and it wasn't because of the pain but because of the blood loss. I want that baby more than anything, and I'm willing to do whatever has to be done in order to keep it. Faisal kissed my forehead and hand, and read shwayat 8uraan. 

~

They took Maha into surgery and left Faisal with his stressful thoughts, but not for long because he was joined by Anoud and Maha's mother. He couldn't stop pacing, his heart was in that surgery room with the love of his life who he might lose any second now. He ran his hand through his hair for what might be the millionth time, and those dark thoughts started pushing into his overthinking mind. 

You're the reason she's in there now.

You wanted another baby.

You'll lose your wife because of your selfish decisions. 

You're the one behind all this pain.


A few more hours later, the doctor went out of the delivery room, and asked Faisal the most painful question anyone could be asked.

"I'm sorry, bes ent m9'6ar t5tar ben zojtik w wldk. L2n ma n8dar nn8i4 elthnen."
