Chapter 874  …We Both Need A Break

"Bryan," she called in a warning tone and Bryan set the glass down.

"Yes, baby?" He replied sweetly and despite her irritation a smile tugged on the corners of her lips.

"You\'re doing too much," she said with disapproval.

"As I should have done from the beginning. Then last night would not have happened," he said, making her sigh as she placed both hands on her abdomen.

"Do you really think so? Then are you saying it\'s my fault that we almost lost Ryso?" She asked and Bryan shook his head immediately.

"Of course not. I could never say that or even think it. I\'m just saying I\'m the man here. It\'s my duty to protect my family. You and Ryso are my family and I have to be more proactive," he said and she shook her head.

"I don\'t think this is about anything we did or could have done…"

Before she could finish speaking, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at the screen and a tired smile tugged at his lips. "It\'s my parents," he said, picking up the call on speaker.

"Hey, mom!" he answered, his voice weary.

"Hello, darling! Tom said you\'re back from Paris already. How are you both doing?" Evelyn asked and Bryan sighed.

"We\'re still here at the hospital. Everything\'s okay now so you don\'t have to worry."

A gasp escaped Evelyn on the other end. "Oh my goodness! Tom only told us you were back from Paris, but I didn\'t know anything about a hospital!"

Bryan winced. He had thought Tom told her about it already, "There was a bit of a scare," he admitted, his voice low. "Sonia..."

Bryan closed his eyes briefly. Sonia reached out and squeezed his hand reassuringly. "It\'s okay, babe. I will tell her," Sonia said softly but Bryan shook his head.

"Oh dear, is she alright, darling? What happened?" Evelyn asked when Bryan\'s response didn\'t come as soon as she expected.

Bryan took a deep breath, "She had some complications with the pregnancy."

"What did the doctor say?" Evelyn asked, trying to keep the fear out of her voice.

Bryan recounted the doctor\'s explanation, his voice filled with a tremor of suppressed fear. He told her about the bleeding, the threatened miscarriage, and finally, the doctor\'s reassurance that everything seemed fine for now.

Relief flooded Evelyn\'s voice when she finished. "Oh, Bryan, I don\'t even know what to say! Thank goodness it\'s nothing serious. But Sonia, how is she doing? Can I speak to her?"

"Mom, she\'s resting," Bryan said, glancing at Sonia who rolled her eyes. "But you can talk to her if you want. The phone is on speaker so she can hear you."

"Hello…"

"Sonia, my dear!" Evelyn\'s voice filled the phone with relief. "I just heard from Bryan. I\'m so sorry to hear what happened! Are you alright?"

Sonia smiled. "I\'m okay. Just a bit shaken."

"Oh, you poor thing. And you listen here," Evelyn\'s voice turned firm. "You need to take it easy. No more stress, no running around. Just rest and recover, alright? And Bryan, you make sure she does."

"We will, Mom. Don\'t worry," Bryan promised, a reassuring smile playing on his lips.

"Alright, alright. Just take care of yourselves," Evelyn said, her voice softening.  "Your dad wants to say hello."

Desmond, who had been listening intently on the other end, took the phone from Evelyn. "Sonia? It\'s Desmond. Glad to hear everything seems to be fine now. Sonia, you take good care of yourself and let Bryan take care of you, okay? I know he will do a good job."

Sonia chuckled weakly. "Thank you, Desmond. I will," Sonia said sincerely.

After a few more words of reassurance, Desmond and Evelyn said their goodbyes, leaving a comfortable silence in their wake.

Bryan placed the phone on the bedside table and sat beside Sonia, taking her hand in his. "You heard them, right? Let me take care of you," he said and she smiled.

"I do let you take care of me. Just don\'t do too much. Where is my phone by the way?" She asked and Bryan raised an eyebrow.

"Did you really expect me to remember to bring your phone with me in my haste to get you to the hospital?" He asked incredulously.

"But you remembered to bring yours," she pointed out.

"Only because it was in my pocket the whole time. Stop arguing and get some rest. We will be going home soon," he said and Sonia sighed as Bryan adjusted the pillows behind her so she could lie back down.

Just as she started to drift off, Bryan\'s phone buzzed again, and this time it was Candace, "It\'s Candace," Bryan informed Sonia and her eyes opened.

"She\'s probably trying to reach me," Sonia said as Bryan received the call and placed it on speaker.

"Hey, Bryan! Sorry to bother you. I\'ve been trying to reach Sony but she isn\'t taking her calls. How is she doing?"

"I\'m fine," Sonia responded to Candace\'s relief.

"Oh, Sony! Thank goodness! How are you feeling now? I heard from Lucy. I\'m so glad that it wasn\'t very serious and you\'re fine," Candace said sounding genuinely relieved.

"Me too. The blogs are all saying you had a miscarriage. Talk about passing wrong information," Andy chipped in and Sonia exchanged a look with Bryan.

"What blogs?" Sonia asked in confusion.

"Oh! I guess you didn\'t know. The news is all over the internet that you were rushed to the hospital and you were bleeding," Andy said and Sonia frowned.

This was one of those times she wished Bryan wasn\'t a celebrity and she could have her privacy. Why would anyone want to put out such news? Especially when it wasn\'t even confirmed? Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"I will take care of it," Bryan assured her softly, seeing how much she didn\'t like it.

"Thanks for calling. I do feel much better and will be going home soon," Sonia assured them before hanging up.

"Don\'t worry about it. I will have it taken down," Bryan promised before Sonia could speak and she sighed.

"I just want to go home," Sonia said and Bryan took her hand once again.

"Soon. Once the IV fluid is finished we can go home," he said and they both glanced at the fluid which was almost done.

"Why don\'t we check what\'s on the blogs?" Sonia suggested and Bryan shook his head.

"No. Let\'s not pay any attention to that. I don\'t want anything to bother you," Bryan said and they turned to the door when a knock sounded on it, before Lucy walked in with Tom following behind.

"How is my favorite girl doing?" Lucy asked and Sonia smiled.

"I\'m alive and thankful," Sonia said as Lucy came to stand beside her and took her hand.

"How are you feeling now?" Tom asked and Sonia smiled.

"Much better. Can you take Bryan away for a moment? He\'s been fussing all morning. He won\'t let me drink water myself. I swear if he could do the chewing and swallowing for me and dump in in my stomach, he would do just that. I think we both need a break," Sonia said and Bryan scowled at her while Tom nodded, and jerked his head to the door for Bryan to follow him.

"Don\'t worry. I will take care of her," Lucy told Bryan.

"Don\'t let her do anything," Bryan said and Lucy raised a brow.

"Can I let her breathe at least? Pretty please?" She asked sweetly and Bryan scowled at her while Sonia and Tom chuckled.

"Did you see the news about me?" Sonia asked after Tom had left the room with Bryan, and Lucy shook her head.

"No. What news?" She asked curiously.

"Candace and Andy called. They said the news of my miscarriage is all over the internet. Can you believe it?" Sonia asked and Lucy sighed.

"Well, you\'re married to a celebrity so something like this is bound to happen, right?" Lucy asked reasonably.

"Still, how can they just say something like that. Saying I had a miscarriage is same as pronouncing my baby dead!" Sonia said, sounding really upset and Lucy placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down, Sony. Our baby is very much alive and okay. Don\'t let something some clueless people said get to you or upset you. Our priority right now is making sure you and Ryso continue to remain fine. So, don\'t worry about anything else," Lucy said softly and Sonia sighed.

"By the way, I\'m surprised you told Candace about it. Why did you tell her?" Sonia asked, eyeing Lucy curiously since she hadn\'t expected Lucy to do something like that.

As much as Candace was close to them, what happened was something personal to her and she expected that Lucy would keep it to herself and let her tell the others herself if she wanted to.

"I\'m sorry. I know it wasn\'t my place to tell her about it. She called and while we were talking I told her I was tired and wanted to go to bed cause I was at the hospital all night," Lucy explained apologetically.

"I see," Sonia said with a sigh.

"Are you mad?" Lucy asked and Sonia shook her head.

"Nah. I\'m not mad. It was unexpected, but I\'m not mad," Sonia assured her.

"Thanks for not being mad," Lucy said and Sonia waved it off.

"Any news about Mia? Has Tom been able to find a way to get Jeff in?" Sonia asked hopefully.

"About that… wait. Should we be talking about that? Shouldn\'t you be resting and…"

"Don\'t be like that, Lu. Would you rather I keep thinking and worrying about it, or you tell me what you know so I can be at ease?" Sonia asked and Lucy sighed.

"Tyler is going to Mia\'s for dinner tonight," Lucy said and Sonia\'s eyes lit up.

"Really? He told you that? How? Why?" Sonia asked with interest and Lucy explained what Tom had told her.

"I see," Sonia said, pausing her lips thoughtfully.

"Why don\'t you give him a call, Lu. Let\'s talk to Tyler," Sonia said and Lucy shook her head.

"Sony, I don\'t think Bryan is going to like…"

"I just need him to tell me how Mia is doing when he sees her, that\'s all," Sonia said and Lucy sighed as she took her phone out of her purse and dialed Tyler\'s line since it was morning over there already.

Tyler received the call on the third ring, "Hey, LuLu. I\'m getting ready to leave for work, but you can reach Lucas on his phone…"

"We called to speak with you not Lucas," Lucy said and then looked at Sonia.

"Tyler, it\'s Sony. How are you doing?" Sonia asked pleasantly.

"I suppose you\'re calling because you heard I\'m going to Mia\'s house?" Tyler asked without bothering to answer Sonia\'s question since he doubted she was asking cause she really wanted to know how he was doing.

"Yes. Will you let me know how it goes? I will appreciate it if you can maybe record the conversations," Sonia pleaded and Lucy frowned.

"That would be putting him at risk. Do you have any idea what could happen to him if he was discovered?" Lucy asked with a shake of her head.

Tyler sighed, "I can\'t promise you that I will do that. But I will see what I can do. Like I already told Tom, I will observe all that is going on and see if Mia is doing okay," Tyler said and Sonia sighed.

"Alright. Do whatever you can do. And if you get the opportunity to speak with her privately, tell Mia that I miss her and that I hope she is doing okay."

"Ty, whatever you do, do not do anything to get yourself in trouble. Make sure you don\'t give him any reason to suspect that you know anything," Lucy said before hanging up.

"Why did you ask him to record the conversation?" Lucy asked immediately the call ended.

"Because he\'s the only one that has access to Mia right now. I\'m sure things might not be the same in the house now as it was years ago. Mia could try to indirectly tell him stuff to communicate back to us, and if Tyler doesn\'t get what she is trying to say, we would never know how much has changed or what is going on. But with the recording, it would be easier to figure things out," Sonia explained and Lucy pursed her lips thoughtfully.

"You have a point. Although it\'s risky, but you have a point," Lucy said with a nod.

"By the way, Kimberly is engaged," Lucy said and Sonia arched a brow.

"Kimberly Moore?" Sonia asked and Lucy nodded.

"I guess it\'s an arranged marriage," Sonia said and Lucy raised a brow.

"Why do you think so?"

"Isn\'t it obvious? She caused trouble and her daughter was cut off. Now she is engaged all of a sudden. It\'s obviously to give Dawn a home. Or maybe her parents gave her an ultimatum. Whatever her reason is, I wish her good luck for Dawn\'s sake," Sonia said and Lucy nodded.

"Me too. In other news, Tom has given me the go ahead to reach out to Dawn," Lucy said with a beaming smile and Sonia shook her head in amusement.

"You\'d make an excellent godmother with that heart of yours," Sonia said and Lucy reached out a hand to touch Sonia\'s abdomen.

"You can count on that, Ryso. I\'m going to take really good care of you and spoil you silly, so make sure you don\'t give your mom and rest of us anymore scare, okay?" Lucy said softly, and Sonia smiled as Lucy patted her abdomen.
