Eight Weeks later
The alarm clocks awful screeching woke me up. I groaned and hit the snooze button. I covered my head with my pillow and closed my eyes again. I must have fallen asleep again because next thing I knew Addison was pulling on my feet.
"Callie Torres. Get your butt up we'll be late for work. Come on I know you're tired. Being twenty eight weeks pregnant cannot be easy, but seriously. Come on Charlotte will be pissed if you miss your ten a.m. surgery." Addison told me. I moaned and pulled my pillow slowly off of my head. The boy inside me kicked as I sat up. I rubbed my stomach.
"Good morning to you too Addison." I grumbled and got out of bed. I stretched and went into the bathroom. I got a quick shower and then pulled on some scrubs. Addison was sitting on my bed looking through an old scrapbook when I entered my room again.
"What's that?" I asked. She glanced up at me and smiled.
"It's a scrap book of our time at Seattle Grace. Come look." She said patting a spot next to her. I sat down and peered over her shoulder. She was looking at a page of me and her laughing and talking at a staff meeting. George was sitting next to me holding my hand and smiling. A tear slid down my cheek. She flipped to a page of her and Derek dancing at the prom.
"Do you miss him?" I asked her. She thought for a minute then shook her head.
"No, he chose Meredith, he fell out of love with me. It happens and I moved on." She told me. She flipped to a page of me and George walking hand in hand through the halls. Then it had a picture of us looking at Tucker as a baby. George was holding him while I peered over his shoulder. Both of us were looking down at him in wonder. I was crying now. Addison shut the book and wrapped me in a hug. "Hey shh, don't cry." She told me.
"He's dead Addison." I sobbed.
"It's okay. I got you." She told me. Addison had been my best friend for a long time now. She was always there when I needed her. I pulled away after I had finished crying and buried my face in a pillow. I had a really awful headache all of the sudden. "Callie are you okay?" She asked. I shook my head but didn't remove my head from the pillow. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"Headache." I told her still not removing my head.
"Why don't you lie down? I can call Charlotte and Naomi and tell them you won't be in today." Addison suggested. I slowly removed my head from my pillow and laid down normally in bed. I curled up with the body pillow Addison had bought me a few weeks ago. It really helped me sleep. Addison called in for me and then went to work promising to come and check on me during her lunch break. I tried my best to fall asleep but nothing I did got rid of my headache and I found it next to impossible to fall asleep with a headache. Addison came back during her lunch break and the headache was still there. Not to mention I had started to feel dizzy. Addison came into my room and sat down a takeout bag from our favorite soup place.
"Hey how are you feeling?" She asked.
"Worse." I complained.
"Have you eaten anything?" Addison asked. I shook my head.
"I'm dizzy now too Addison." I told her. Addison sighed.
"I was afraid you'd say that. I brought my stuff so I could do an exam." Addison said pulling out her stethoscope and blood pressure cuff out of her purse.
"Addison I'm sure that is not nesseccary." I told her. Addison shook her head.
"No it is, I'm a terrible OB, you should never use me again. I can't believe I wasn't watching for this. You're feet have been way more swollen than they should be and now you have terrible headaches. I think you may be suffering from Gestational Hypertension." Addison told me and velcroed the blood pressure cuff around my arm. I groaned. What else could possibly be wrong with me?
"So, is that it? Is it Gestational Hypertension?" I asked. Addison nodded.
"We need to get you on blood pressure medicine to lower your blood pressure, only problem is, it's going to mess with the medicine you're taking for mitral valve prolapse." Addison said worriedly.
"Really? Anything else going to happen to me?" I asked angrily. Addison sighed.
"Hopefully not." Addison sighed. I sighed. I was really tired of this. Addison thought for a minute. "Callie, we should go to the practice. I want to run some more tests." Addison told me.
"Why?" I asked.
"I just want to make sure I don't miss anything else." Addison told me. I sighed and slowly got out of bed. Addison ran an in depth exam once we got there. I was sitting in my office doing some paper work while I waited on my results. Well I was trying to do paper work anyways. My headache was making it difficult. Addison knocked on the door frame.
"What's the verdict?" I asked.
"Callie, you've got preeclampsia." Addison told me. I groaned.
"You're kidding me right?" I asked. Addison shook her head. "What now?" I asked.
"Well, we've decided, Sam and I decided that based on your health, with the mitral valve prolapse and everything that it would be best to admit you to the hospital to be monitored until we can safely deliver the baby." Addison told me.
"No, no way. I cannot lay in a hospital bed for the next seven weeks and not be able to operate. I'll kill myself." I said.
"Callie, this is the best option." Addison pressed.
"I can't do this! Okay? I can't go through all this, all these complications while I'm carrying my dead husbands baby. I can't do it!" I said starting to hyperventilate.
"Callie breathe, calm down, if your blood pressure shoots up you'll get worse." Addison said coming over and comforting me. I was crying now.
"I need George." I sobbed. Addison pulled me into a hug and held me. A sharp pain crept into my abdomen. "Ouch, Addison. Something's not right. It doesn't feel right…" I trailed off as I began to seize in Addison's arms.
Cliffhanger! So tell me what you think? What will happen next? Who is going to come to Callie's side? Mark or Pete? Review review review! I really want to know what my readers think.
