Hey guys! So sorry for the delay in updating. I am still on vacation and I haven't been on my computer lately. However, because of my delay I will be posting 2 whole chapters for you today! I thought that would be a nice gift for you all.
At the same time, though, I do not know when I will be posting again. We've had a bunch of people at our place and even more are coming! It gets very hectic, but I will do everything I can to update again soon.

At the hospital, Sarah was rushed to a room, and they waited for a doctor. She was scared, and clung to Dustin's hand. "Have you gotten ahold of Conrad yet?"
Her best friend shook his head. "Not yet. He isn't picking up." They looked up as the doctor came in and she looked at Dustin.
"Go see if he is with Madi. Don't say anything, just bring him here." She told him quickly and he nodded.
Once he left the room, he rushed down to the floor where Madi's room was. He took a deep breath, but when he went inside, he didn't see Conrad. Silently cursing, not wanting to alarm Amber or Madi who were both asleep, he left and sighed.
He stood there for a minute, trying to figure out what to do. She had mentioned that only Donnie knew about the baby, so he pulled out his phone and quickly dialed.
"Hello?"
"Donnie? It's Dustin."
"Hey, dude. What's up?"
"I need you to do something for me." He paused. "Or, actually, for Sarah, really."
"What? What's going on?"
He sighed. "I am at the hospital with Sarah right now."
"Oh my God. What happened?"
"I don't know. She called him in a lot of pain. She couldn't get ahold of you, so I brought her here. But she doesn't want anyone to know, however, we can't find Conrad. I need you to find him and send him here. I will text you what's up when we find out."
"Already done. Dustin…take care of her."
"You know I will."
He hung up, glad that he was able to get ahold of Donnie. Now he could let Donnie worry about Conrad, while he worried about Sarah. Hurrying back up to her, he stopped outside the room and waited for the doctor to come out. A few minutes later, he did and saw Dustin standing there.
"She's fine. Mild cramping is common during pregnancy, although it can scare you. It was good that you brought her here. She is getting dressed and you can take her home. Just have her rest for a while, and she'll be fine."
Dustin sighed in relief and thanked him. A minute later, the door opened and he saw Sarah. "Hey."
She gave him a small smile. "Hey. Can we go home?"
He nodded and put his arm around her. "Yeah, come on."
One the ride home he sent Donnie a text, and told him to send Conrad to the apartment, should he find him. Conrad may have been his friend, but Sarah was his best friend and the fact that she had barely seen her fiancé in weeks made him angry. This was almost an emergency, and they couldn't find him.
Back at the apartment, Dustin got Sarah settled on the couch, and made her some food. He told her that he wasn't leaving until Conrad got home, or unless Donnie came by; he didn't want her by herself.
"Still nothing?" She asked after he checked his phone, playing with the trim on the blanket that was covering her.
He shook his head. "Sorry."
She nodded and sighed. Dustin looked at her for a second, and then sat next to her. "How are you feeling? Do you still hurt?"
She shook her head and looked up at him. "No. I am okay. They gave me something at the hospital. I'm just tired…"
He eyed her. "And sad." She looked up at him. "You're sad that Conrad wasn't there."
She bit her lip. "Yeah. I mean, he doesn't even know I'm pregnant. But still…what if something really bad had happened, Dustin? We couldn't even get ahold of him. I have barely seen him in two weeks! I mean…" She trailed off.
He watched her. "Go on."
She sighed. "People are supposed to be coming together right before we get married. Conrad and I are getting married in three weeks, and I feel like we haven't seen each other at all over the last two. I understand with everything going on, but…I'm scared, Dustin."
"Sarah you go months without seeing each other and you guys made it. You guys will be fine. You just have to tell him how you are feeling." He hugged her, and she smiled.
"Thanks for today."
He shrugged. "Hey you're my best friend. You smile, I smiled. You hurt, I hurt. You jump off a bridge, I'm going to miss your emails."
That got a little laugh out of her he was happy that he helped a little. A minute later, the door opened and Conrad came in.
"Hey, Dustin." Conrad said. "What's going on? Donnie cornered me at practice and told me to come home right away."
Sarah looked at Dustin and nodded. He stood. "Call me if you need anything."
She gave him a small smile. "Thanks for everything. I'll call you tomorrow."
He patted Conrad on the shoulder and quickly left the couple in their apartment. Conrad looked confused, and turned to her. "Sarah? What's going on? Is everything okay?"
She looked up at him and he could instantly tell that she was pissed. "No. Everything is not okay." She slowly stood and faced him. "Conrad…I understand that you want to be with Madi every chance you can while she is in the hospital. But she is going to be fine, and even though I know she needs you, I need you too. We tried calling you for hours today and couldn't find you."
"I'm sorry, Sarah! I was visiting Madi and then I left to go to practice. I didn't have my phone on me." He defended and she rolled her eyes.
"I barely ever see you anymore." She paused. "I'm pregnant."
Conrad froze and stared at her. "What?"
She nodded. "Remember when you came to visit me a couple months ago? Well…now I'm pregnant." She sighed. "And today, Dustin had to take me to the hospital."
Immediately he was worried. "Oh my God, what?" He walked to her. "Come on, let's sit down."
He covered her with the blanket again and she nodded. "I was in so much pain." She told him everything the doctor told her and he hugged her when she started to cry. "I was so scared, Conrad. And Dustin couldn't find you and all I wanted was you with me."
He held her tightly against him and sighed, kissing her hair. "I'm so sorry. I promise I will spend more time here with you. Oh God…if I had known…"
"I know. But with everything going on with Madi, I knew that I should wait until the right time to tell you."
He kissed her and laid his hand on her stomach. "I love you."
