/19th-24th October 2016/
Going into the 8th week of her pregnancy Maria's morning sickness was bad. She went home early twice in the week, and she hadn't been sleeping well because she'd been feeling so sick which really hadn't helped for her mood.
"Amelia just please leave me alone!" She shouted after being woken up from her nap.
"You know the interns are scared of you." She replied. Maria had been so moody in the last week.
"Good because they're useless!" She continued shouting and then uncontrollably cried.
"Maria?" Amelia asked, not really sure how to handle the situation she had found herself in. "What's wrong."
"Being pregnant with triplets! That's what's wrong!"
"Oh..." Amelia was shocked. "Wow! Maria congrats!" She exclaimed.
"Oh god I shouldn't have told you that. Not yet."
"It's fine. I won't tell anyone else..." She replied. "Was it planned, I'm assuming it was... I mean unless your bi?"
"We've been trying for a while... It was planned. It's just harder than I thought it would be and no, I'm not bi Amelia."
"Do you want to go back to sleep?" She asked, " I can leave you be and put a sign up to tell all the other attendings to be quiet."
"That would be nice, what's the time?" She asked.
"12:30."
"Okay. Well I'll nap for another hour then." She responded, not having a surgery until two and she had handed her consults over to the new attending before she went to take a nap.
"Sure. Hope you feel better after." She wished, before writing up the sign, and stocking it up on the door and going back to doing some work.
Maria went back to sleep and felt not much better once she woke, but it would have to do.
Coming back onto the ENT ward to get her patient for surgery, Maria felt like death. No doubt did she look like death too. "You okay Ria?" Jackson asked, seeing her walk slowly down the hallway. "I could do your surgery if you need me to?" He offered.
"I'll be fine Jackson. I'm just pregnant." She told him.
"Oh congrats!" He exclaimed "April didn't get this sick though. Are you sure your okay?" He asked.
"Yes I'm sure. I'm having triplets so everything's three times worse than is normal."
"Wow, triple congrats!" He exclaimed before pausing. "Guessing you won't be scheduling the breast implant surgery with me for at least another 9 months."
"No Jackson, I won't." She had remembered bringing up the idea with him a couple of weeks ago.
Maria had a strange cramping in her belly throughout the surgery and it just wasn't going away. She couldn't shake it. She was sure something was wrong with her triplets.
Going down to OB, she fortunately ran into Arizona who had just finished a consult. "Maria? Are the triplets okay?" Arizona was panicked.
"I'm not sure. I'm cramping badly, can you give me an ultrasound?"
"Of course I can my beautiful wife." She responded, taking her into a room to do the ultrasound. "The triplets are fine." She reassured. "The cramping could be caused by the morning sickness. I'm going to prescribe you some medication and I'm going to be your doctor throughout this pregnancy if we can't get Addison back to Seattle." Arizona had decided she was the best one to be taking care of her pregnant wife.
"Thanks Ari." She replied, getting herself up. "I'm going to go home." She told her.
"Okay. See you around 7?"
"Sure Ari, I'll do dinner. See ya."
