Hello everyone and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there I hope you all enjoy your day you deserve it after dealing with our crazy asses. Lol Here's chapter 7 enjoy and R&R!
Chapter 7: Suddenly
"Aaaahhhhh!" I groaned as my fingers dug into Troy's skin
"It hurts so much Troy, it hurts really bad." Troy rubbed my sweaty forehead
"I know baby, I wish I could take the pain away from you."
"I'm back." My sister Angel said as she entered the room
"How you feeling Ella?"
"Like shit."
"Hey watch your mouth young lady."
"I'm already a pregnant teen, I think my language is least of your worries." I laughed softly but was cut short due to the pain of the contraction
"I hope this little one will stop hurting their Mommy."
"How are you two?" I looked up and saw Dr. Hart enter the room.
"So, you came in with contractions?"
"Yes, and we've been waiting for almost an hour…"
"Angel, it's ok I'm fine."
"We're just really worried because she's only about 7 months." Troy said while holding my hand.
"Ok, well let's take a look at the baby." Dr. Hart pulled the sonogram machine towards her.
"I can't believe you don't know the gender."
"I wanted it to be a surprise. Oh and Troy you need to call your parents."
"They don't have to know right now it could be false labor." I looked over at Dr. Hart as she was looking for the heartbeat. I noticed that there was a weird look on her face.
"Is everything ok Dr. Hart?" Dr. Hart smiled softly
"Yes, Ms. Montez I'm just having a little bit of a hard time finding the baby. Don't worry, sometimes the baby could've shifted." Dr. Hart continued on with the sonogram
"I found the baby, now for the heart beat." Dr. Hart pressed a few buttons and we waited for the heartbeat.
"Ok, Ms. Angel may you please excuse us for a minute."
"Alright, I'll be right outside this door Ella." Dr. Hart waited until Angel was out of the room before turning her attention back to us.
"Ok, so I found a heartbeat but it's low so we're gonna have to deliver this bay right now."
"What? But I'm only seven months."
"I know but if we want to save this bay we're going to have to deliver. I'll handle the paper work and have you moved to a room Ms. Montez, but in the meantime I suggest you call your parents Mr. Bolton." Dr. Hart left the room leaving me in a frantic panic.
"What? I can't have this baby now Troy, we're not ready we didn't finish the nursery, what if something's wrong with the baby? What if…" I stopped as I tried to beathe through another contraction.
"What if our baby doesn't make it?" I breathed
"Hey, hey calm down now breathe in and out for me baby." I slowly started to breathe in and out.
"We're gonna get through this ok?"
"Ok." That simple sentence may have not been enough for some but it was enough for me because it came from him.
"I love you Gabs."
"I love you too wildcat."
I shook my head as I thought back to that day, it was the best day of my life. It was the day I gave birth to my first daughter. I looked down at the date on my phone, and couldn't help but think that she would've just turned eight years old.
"Montez did you hear me?" Dr. Wyatt, the chief resident called
"Yeah, I heard you."
"Then what did I say?"
"You said that I'm working in the pit today and that there's an incoming trauma. It's a car accident; pile up."
"Alright, let's go people." Dr. Wyatt said and we all followed him.
"Hey Gabi, you ok?" Taylor asked
"Huh? What yeah I'm fine."
"Are you sure, I know what today is…"
"I know what today is too and I said I'm fine." I sped up so that I could be at the front of the group. Sharpay then walked up to Taylor.
"Hey, what's going on with Gabi?"
"Um, she's just stressed out her and Troy had a fight."
"Oh ok."
"She's perfect." I smiled softly as I held my healthy baby girl.
"She looks just like you." I looked up at Troy and smiled
"You don't know how much I love you right now."
"Troy…"
"No, I am so in love with you Gabriella, you just gave me the best gift anyone could ever give me…a daughter."
"I love you too Troy." Troy and I were just about to kiss but our friends cut our sweet moment short.
"Hey don't go making another baby now." Chad teased
"Shut up Danforth." Troy said
"Move, Chad I wanna see the baby." Taylor said as she pushed past Chad
"Aw, she's so tiny."
"Well she was premature but they said she's breathing on her own."
"Gabi, what's her name?"
"Well we were debating between Karter Leigh and Troy wants to name her Michael Peyton."
"Michael Peyton? Those are boy names, you had a daughter dumb ass."
"Hey, no cussing in front of Baby Bolton."
"Sorry Gabi, but seriously Troy?"
"Hey I named after the two greatest athletes, Michael Jordan and Peyton Manning."
"Nice." Chad high fived Troy
"Well, we need to decide on a name because it's been three days and she doesn't have a name yet."
"My mom said when she named me she said the whole name out loud and the one I responded to the best was the name she picked."
"That's actually a good idea Chad."
"Thanks."
"Ok, my name first, Karter Leigh Bolton." I said confidently but the baby made a spitting sound, Troy tried to hold in his laughter but he was failing miserably.
"Don't laugh at me." I pouted
"Aw, don't be mad baby it's ok." Troy kissed me as I still frowned
"Just because she didn't like my name doesn't mean that she'll like yours."
"Whatever, let's see. Michael Peyton Bolton." The baby made a cute gurgling noise which surprised Gabriella and Taylor
"So you like Daddy's name? That's ok it is a cute name, Michael Peyton Bolton it is." I kissed Michael's forehead as she slept in my arms.
"How are Mommy and Daddy doing?" Our nurse asked entering the room
"Great, we finally have a name for Baby Bolton."
"Oh wonderful, what is it?" The nurse pulled out her clipboard.
"Michael Peyton Bolton."
"That's a lovely name, I'll be back later to check your vitals ok."
"Ok." The nurse left the room
"Troy can you put her in her crib she fell asleep." I carefully handed the baby to Troy and smiled softly as I watched him place her in her crib.
"Gabi, we're gonna go the gift shop and then get something to eat. Did you want anything?"
"Pizza please."
"Sure, what about you hoops?"
"Pizza."
"Alright, we'll be back."
"Hey how about you take a nap."
"Hmm? I'm fine Gabs I don't need sleep."
"Yeah whatever, come on." I scooted over so that Troy could get in the bed with me. Troy got in the bed with me and we stared to cuddle
"I don't want this moment to ever end."
"Me either, Gabs." Troy yawned as he drifted off to sleep and I quickly followed after.
"Dr. Montez, we need to get her to surgery right now."
"Just as soon as I get her bleeding under control, Dr. Alford." Then the EKG machine started beeping erratically
"She's going into v-fib!" A nurse yelled
"Get me a crash cart."
"Charging to 200!" I placed the paddles on her chest
"Clear!" The woman's body convulsed then her EKG started to flat line I hastily threw the paddles to the side
"Starting chest compressions." Then EKG started to beep in a steady beat.
"Book on OR and get her down there immediately! Dr. Alford take over chest compressions."
"Yes Dr. Montez." Dr. Alford and the nurses quickly made their way to the OR floor with the patient. I checked my watch and then made my way to the day care center before my surgery.
When I got to the daycare center, I stood in the doorway for a few seconds before entering the room.
"MOMMY!" Andrew shouted as he ran over to me, I welcomed him open arms and picked him up.
"Mommy's baby, I missed you so much." I kissed his forehead, I then sat down with him and started to play with him.
This feeling, is something that I can't explain this feeling of being loved. This love was on a whole different level, I wonder is that what it felt like to be a mother? Is that what all my friends feel when they watch their children play and are just simply in awe. I can't help but think about Michael and how we would've raised her. I know she would adore the twins if she was anything like me.
My moment of contempt was cut short when my pager went off. I kissed Andrew bye and made my way to the OR.
When I got to the OR I saw that they already had her prepped for surgery. I started to scrub in when Dr. Alford entered the scrub room
"Dr. Montez am I scrubbing on your surgery?"
"Dr. Alford, why would you ask me that knowing that you're on my service today?"
"Umm…"
"Go in there and finishing prepping her and stop asking me crazy questions." I finished scrubbing and walked into the OR, a nurse gowned me and placed gloves on my hands.
"Let's do this people."
After eight hours of a successful surgery, I cleaned up and decided to see how Natanya was doing. When I got to her room, she was already asleep. I held back my tears as I saw my baby girl hooked up to all these machines. It broke my heart that I couldn't do anything for my baby girl. It hurt even more knowing that I had to leave her here all alone. I kissed Natanya on her forehead before leaving to pick Andrew up from the daycare. But when I got the daycare center I saw the woman in charge locking the door and that was when all the color drained from my face.
"Lana, where's Andrew?"
"Oh, Dr. Evans took him home we had to close early because one…" I didn't let her finish because I was already leaving to get Andrew back from Sharpay. Why wouldn't she tell me that she took him home with her she could've at least paged me. Did she even have car seats? Sharpay should've told me, she knows how I am. Well she really doesn't I had only just met her a few years ago when we in med school.
I banged on the front door awaiting for Sharpay to answer the door. When Sharpay opened the door I stormed inside without speaking to Sharpay.
"Um, you could at least speak to me bitch when you come inside my house!"
"Where is he?"
"Sleeping, Gabriella…"
"You should've told me I was…" I ran my fingers through my hair
"Gabi, calm down…"
"Don't tell me to calm down! I didn't know where he was! I thought something…I thought something happened to him."
"I'm sorry I should've paged you, but your intern told me that you were in a difficult surgery."
"It's ok, let me just get Andrew and I'll be on my way."
"NO, you're staying here again tonight. I just put him and the kids to bed and you look like you need some rest. Gabi talk to me what's wrong?"
"I can't Sharpay."
"Come on, you can tell me. I know I haven't known you as long as Taylor but I want to know what's wrong. Come on Gabi, we've been through so much."
She was right, she was with me when Troy and I got married to when I lost my second baby. We've been through a lot and I still haven't told her yet.
"I need a drink first." Sharpay nodded her head as we walked into the kitchen. I sat down at the kitchen table while Sharpay grabbed two glasses and a bottle of Moscato. She sat down at the table and poured us both a glass. I took a big gulp before exhaling heavily.
"Tomorrow would be the anniversary of when I lost my first baby."
"Gabi…"
"Troy and I were sixteen, I just had her three days ago when she died. Her name was Michael Peyton Bolton, Troy named her. When I saw Lana closing up the daycare, I thought something bad happened to him. I thought I lost him."
"Why didn't you tell me I wouldn't have taken Andrew. I just thought that since you were busy with your surgery I would take him with me."
"No, it's not your fault I didn't tell you."
"Gabi I'm…"
"It's ok, I'll just go to bed."
"Gabi, you know I'm here for you if you need to talk."
"I know Shar, I know."
