As Adam speed through the streets of Rochdale, at the highest speed possible trying not to break every speeding law known to man in the process, not that he cared anyway. He couldn't help think of the day his own love story had that was the day that he and Rachel had met .
Flashback: the grey and black image passed thorught his mind as if it were yesterday. He stood there at the main hall and wondering if he should or if he or shouldent or ask the girl of his dreams for a night out. But then he though for a second who wants to go with the fat kid. As he thought this he flash for ward 20 years to the day of his interview then he zoned out to the real world as he near lost control of the car trying to turn it as he was about a mile from the hospital
End of flashback.
Five minutes later, they had reached the hospital, Adam hurridly parked the car and went to the back seat and slowly but gently lifted Rachel out so that he could take her into the A&E, as he walked into the hospital with his wife still gently cradled in his arms.
"I need some help here, someone help me". He called out to no one in particular.
A nurse came running out from behind the desk at the destrought man from her who was holding a woman in his arms.
"What's her name, sir?". She asked him.
"Rachel, Rachel Fleet". Adam replied, breathlessly.
"OK we need a trolly over here!". She yelled out to a group of colleagues.
The team rushed Rachel into resus and got her hooked up to monitors.
Two hours later a doctor came out to meet Adam who was sat in the corridor.
"Mr. Fleet?".The doctor asked him.
At the sound of his voice Adam jumped to his feet.
"How is she? Did you find out what's wrong with her? Can I see her?". He rambled off to the doctor.
"I'm Doctor Simmons, I am the doctor in charge of your wife's case,your wife was unconscious when she was brought in don't worry she will wake up soon, did you know that your wife is pregnant?". Doctor Simmons informed him.
"Pregnant . Adam stuttered.
"Yes and from what we know I'd say about six weeks, has your wife been under any stress lately?". Doctor Simmons asked.
"She had some bad news earlier today". Adam told him.
"That would explain it" .Doctor Simmons replied.
Adam nodded for him to continue.
"Due to the stress of the day events your wife's body into shut down mode, causing her to nearly miscarry, but luckily we caught it just in time, the heartbeat is weak, but it's there. She will need to be kept in foe a few days but after that I don't see why she couldn't go home, would you like to see her now?". Doctor Simmons asked him.
"Yes, please". Adam replied.
Doctor Simmons and Adam made there way to Rachel's room two minutes later they had arrived.
"Call if you need me". Doctor Simmons offered.
Adam nodded at him and preceded to enter the room were his wife lay motionless in a hospital bed.
"Hey sleeping beauty, you got to wake soon so I can see that beautiful eyes of yours that will light up this whole room". He told his gently, running a hand though her hair.
Adam continued to talk to her for the next couple of hours when he felt someone squeeze his hand.
"Rachel?". He asked softly.
"Adam?". Rachel crooked out weakly.
"Yeah it's me, how you doing?". He asked her.
"Sore, what happened?".She answered him.
"You don't remember? you collapsed in the bathroom". He told her.
"I remember that Phil was round and then he told me what happened, god what am i going to do?".She asked beginning to hyperventilate.
"Rachal, I need you to calm down for me because if you don't the doctors will come in here and will be forced to sudate you, so come on calm down for me, that's it deep breaths in and out that's it". Adam encouraged. After Rachel eventually managed to calm down.
Doctor Simmons had come in and did some of the usual checks that he had to complete his exam and told a stunned Rachel of her pregancy, to which she broke her heart over as the couple were told that they had less then 10% of conieving naturally and said that if everything went well that Rachel could go home in a few days, but that due to it being a high risk pregancey that she would need plenty of fluids, to lower her stress levelsas much as possible and to take at least a week off to rest up.
A few days later Rachel had indeed gone home and was now resting comfortably on the sofa and watching trashy TV, pair doctors orders. (Not thatshe was going to argue)
two days after she had come home, Phil had and explained the whole story in detail as to what and how the car accident happened, Rachel leaning that her sister had died on impact and that there was nothing that they could do to save her.
Rachel was pulled out of her trail of thought and screamed in painas she bolted up right as a searing pain that shot throgh her abdoman, freezing for what seemed like a lifetime, hoping and praying that another set pains wouldn't attack.
" No, no no I'm imagining it, it's not real come on Rachel pull yourself together woman, it'll pass. It's nothing". Rachel scrold herself, yet on the other hand realizing thatit was very real and thought if she ignored it then it would go away.
