Kam, Jane and Amid immediately stood upon seeing the doctor. Kam had been crying since the incident which was about four hours ago. To think that the human eyes could produce so many tears in that long a time is surprising.
What she is feeling could only be described by her, it can only be imagined by others. Amid is filled with sorrow too but he just had to man up and console his wife.
'Mr and Mrs Bashir, I want you to relax,' Dr Cole said when he saw the anguish in their demeanour.
Dr Cole has been their family doctor for years even before the twins were born.
'Zaara just temporarily had a case of syncope which is caused by dehydration,' He explained holding Kam's hand soothingly.
'She is better now, she just needs to rest.' He concluded smiling down at her.
Immediately, Kam sat back in relief and Amid did too. He wrapped his arms around her. Jane looked relieved too and thanked the doctor while the couple consoled themselves. She asked the doctor for the room number and lead the couple there immediately since the doctor has cleared them to see her.
On getting to the door of the room Zaara was in, Jane excused herself while Kamila immediately entered to hold Zaara's hand while she slept.
Jane called home immediately and her husband picked the call. The twins were still in their house and Amid didn't waste time to tell her they weren't sleeping because wanted to know for sure that Zaara is fine. Jane had to personally talk to them, explain what dehydration is and why it concerns Zaara before they could, later on, let it go.
After talking for about ten minutes, they reluctantly gave the phone to Damola ad went to sleep in Jay's room. Jason himself couldn't sleep because they didn't too.
Jane and her husband talked for a little bit more and after the kids had gone to sleep. She asked after Alyssa who was crying when she was leaving the house earlier to drive the broken-hearted parents to the house since they weren't in the right frame of mind.
Soon, they said their goodbyes after Jane told him she is sleeping at the hospital with the Bashirs. After a while, she went to check on them and on getting to the glass window of the room, she decided to just stay out and just watched, in the moment, everything that happened came back to her in a flash.
JANE'S POV................
'Jay!!!!!!!!!'
'Yes mommy, I am done dressing.' He answered as his daddy helped him tie his shoelace. Jane had been cooking all day and had entrusted both kids to her husband to make sure they are dressed before the guest arrived.
Kam has been her friend for over twenty years and to think their kids would grow up to be friends too is very exciting. For both their husbands to now be friends too, is an added blessing that will make her wish come true.
Jane had been cooking all day. Impressing Kam is a big deal though she knows that Kamila would never look down on her or anything because she doesn't have any bad bone in her.
Kamila is a certified chef, hence the aim to impress her with her cooking. It would be bliss if she gets a compliment.
After setting the dining and cleaning the kitchen, she made her way to her room and on the way met her boys with Alyssa in tow in a pink baby gown. She has started making her baby steps and one couldn't be prouder.
'You all look perfect.' She said smiling as she bent to kiss both kids on their cheeks which made them both laugh. Jay's dimple became obvious with his laugh and that made Jane make a mental note of Alyssa getting jealous in the future and she silently chuckled at that. She quickly planted a kiss on Damola's lips and ran upstairs to shower and change before their guest arrived.
After the shower, she changed to a comfortable knee-length white dress and a pair of short heeled white sandals that has straps like that of a gladiator. Afterwards, she did a very light makeup and went downstairs.
On getting downstairs, after been appraised by her boys as per the perfect gentlemen they are. She joined watching television.
After about seven minutes, the doorbell rang and Jay ran to get it. Apparently, she's not the only one anticipating the visit. After exchanging pleasantries, by then Jane and the rest already joined them by the door, they made their way into the main sitting room.
'You sure do have a beautiful house Jane, the décor has changed the last time we were here.' Amid said nodding his head appreciatively
The room was painted different shades of green and every wall told a different story, it is indeed a beautiful space to be in.
'We decided to design it like an apartment we once stayed in New York some years back.' Jane explained.
'We loved the place though it was a studio apartment.' Amid concurred.
'We decided to extend that warmth and love to this house, our house.' He continued, smiling.
Soon, the men started discussing business while the kids played. Jane started a conversation with Kam about the books she has authored. She purposely didn't bring up the topic of her culinary lessons or skills, so Kamila's reaction or comment, later on, won't be biased.
Jane invited them to their dining area to eat and they all made their way. Suddenly, Zaara became unconscious.
As if he was expecting it to happen, Amid immediately move to pick his daughter before she landed on the floor and bruised his big toe.
He ran out immediately followed by Kam who had started screaming. Damola gave the car keys to Jane so she could drive the two distressed parents to the hospital while he stayed with the other kids.
Present Moment...
Jane went back to the reception after her travel to memory lane to doze for a while. Amid woke her after about twenty minutes to go sleep in the hospital room with Kam and Zaara. Amid went home to see the twins and get food or the ladies
