Chapter Two
Thank the Lord
Taylor woke up feeling pain her in stomach. She groaned in her sleep. She tried to ignore it, but the pain wouldn't go away. Chad noticed her tossing and turning.
"Hey Tay, you ok?" Chad asked sitting up concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine." Taylor mumbled.
Chad noticed her clutching her stomach. "Are you in labor?! I'll get the bag!" Chad exclaimed hopping out of the bed.
"No Chad its fine! Everyone gets contractions towards the end of their pregnancy and they're pretty far apart. No worries." Taylor reassured him.
"Oh ok, you scared me there." Chad kissed Taylor on the head and got back into bed. Taylor smiled.
Later on in the morning Taylor woke up and got ready, though much slower than usual. She was going to have a baby in about four weeks and was pretty big. It was her third baby so she was bigger than her first two pregnancies. Even though it'd be her first time, she was absolutely nervous. Both of her babies were born through c-sections due to complications. Taylor was nervous if something was going to go wrong like the last two times.
Taylor took a shower and put on some maternity clothes. She sighed when she looked in the full length mirror on her door. She loved being pregnant, but she couldn't wait for the baby to come. She wanted her figure back.
Taylor walked into the kitchen and had breakfast and started doing the dishes. Chad came in from doing some errands.
"Hey sweetie, you're up." He said kissing his wife. He rubbed her large stomach.
"Hi baby, I can't wait to see you!" He exclaimed cheerfully. Taylor smiled.
"So what do you think it is? Boy or girl?" Taylor asked.
"Girl." Chad smiled.
"Yeah, I'd love another girl, too. I think it is. This is how I felt when I was pregnant with Madison and she turned out to be a girl, too." Taylor said.
Chad glanced over at the sink full of dishes. "Hey, you shouldn't be up doing dishes, why don't you rest, I'll take care of the chores." Chad said reaching for the dishes.
"Sure I guess, hey I'm going to go get some ice cream at the store. A late pregnancy craving." Taylor said gently rubbing her belly.
Chad smiled, not knowing that tragedy was going to strike in about twenty minutes.
Taylor drove forward when the stoplight turned green. Another car didn't see that their stoplight had turned red, and drove forward. He crashed into the left side of Taylor's car. Taylor didn't see the car. Someone called 911 when they saw what had happened. When the ambulance got there, they found her unconscious. They checked her cell phone, which was miraculously still working, and found "home" in her contact list. They dialed it.
"Hey Taylor." Chad answered the phone not knowing it wasn't really her.
"Hi, are you related to a Taylor McKessie-Danforth?" The police officer asked.
"Yeah…who is this?" Chad wondered.
"This is the police. Your wife was hit by a drunk driver. She's now in an ambulance on the way to Albuquerque General Hospital." He replied.
"Oh my god. I'll get down there right now." Chad said quickly hanging up the phone.
Chad rushed to the hospital with his kids in his car calling Troy.
"Troy you need to get down to the hospital with everyone!" Chad said out of breath.
"Wait is Taylor having the baby? What happened? Is she ok?" Troy questioned his friend.
"Taylor was hit by a drunk driver! Call everyone and meet us at the Albuquerque General Hospital!" Chad said hanging up the phone.
Chad ran through the doors of the emergency room and up to the front desk.
"I'm looking for Taylor McKessie-Danforth, she was in a car accident!" Chad stated.
"She's in surgery right now, but you can have a seat in here." The lady at the front desk said gesturing towards the waiting room. Chad sighed and sat down with Madison and Nathan.
About twenty minutes later, Sharpay, Zeke, Gabriella, Troy, Ryan and his wife Kristen, Jason, and Kelsi arrived with all of their kids, as well as Chad and Taylor's parents.
"Hey guys, sorry it took so long." Gabriella said out of breath from running into the waiting room.
"Can we see her, is everything ok?" Taylor's mom asked Chad.
"She's in surgery right now, we have to wait." Chad said.
Everyone nodded and sat down wondering if Taylor would be ok.
About three hours later a female doctor appeared in the waiting room. "Is the husband of Taylor McKessie-Danforth here?" The doctor asked looking around.
"Yeah, that's me. How's Taylor?" Chad asked worriedly.
"Can I please talk to you somewhere else?" The doctor asked.
"No, everyone here with me deserves to know." Chad said.
The doctor nodded. "It seems as though she broke three ribs, but we fixed them through surgery. She'll have to wear a brace for about three months." The doctor explained.
"And the baby?" Chad asked nervously. Everyone looked expectantly at the doctor.
"It's doing fine, but Taylor will need to be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy, which is really only about 2 weeks or so." She said.
"Oh thank god, can we see here?" Chad asked hopefully hugging his two kids.
"Yes you may." She said smiling.
Chad walked into his wife's room with Madison and Nathan in tow.
"Hey baby." he said kissing Taylor.
"Hi." She said weakly.
"Hi mommy!" Nathan and Madison said in unision Taylor smiled at the two.
"How are you feeling?" Chad sitting down next to his wife.
"Ok, my ribs hurt though, but thank the lord our baby is ok." Taylor said placing her hand on her stomach. Chad reached over and rubbed it.
"I know, me too." The two sat there for about twenty minutes. The rest of the gang plus the two's parents came in to see how Taylor was doing.
Taylor stayed in the hospital for about a week. Went she went home, she had to stay in bed all day, she was only allowed to get up for about five or so minutes. Taylor couldn't wait for their daughter or son to be born.
