Chapter 14
***Twenty Weeks Pregnant***
Sitting in the doctor's office, we are waiting on my name to be called. We go back to an exam room and the doctor says everything looks good. She pulls the ultrasound machine over and puts the wand on my stomach. Moving it around some, we hear the heartbeat and Juice smiles. Then she moves it around a little more and says "Looks like you're having a little boy." she tells us and Juice leans down and kisses me softly. We get up and head home and once we get inside he asks "You thought of names?" I smile and say "Yeah. Was thinking about Carlos Piermont." I tell him. "After me and your dad?" he asks. "Yeah." I say. "I love it babe." he says. "Can we call him Perry?" I ask. "I like that. Yeah. We can call him Perry." he tells me before kissing me softly.
That evening, we are at Gemma's for her family dinner and are sitting in the living room waiting on the food to get done. "So, did you find out what you're having?" Opie asks and that gets everyone's attention. "We're having a boy. Got a name picked out too." I tell him. "What is it?" my dad asks. "Carlos Piermont Ortiz and we're calling him Perry." I tell them and they all smile. My dad comes over and kisses my cheek and says "I love you Princess." I smile and say "I love you Daddy." Gemma comes to the living room and says "Dinner is done." We all walk into the dining room and take a seat at the table and all talk seems to be about Perry. Everyone asking what we need and before I know it, we are done with dinner and heading home with smiles on our faces.
Walking into the house, I tell Juice, "I'm gonna shower." He nods and I head that way. Stepping into the shower, I see red run down my legs. Shutting the water off, I yell for Juice. "Juice!" I shout and he comes running. "Are you okay?" he asks concerned. "Something's wrong. I'm bleeding." I tell him. He helps me get dried off and dressed and rushes me to the emergency room.
After running tests, they tell me that he lining of my placenta is starting to detach. "What does that mean?" Juice asks. "That means she needs to be on bedrest for the rest of her pregnancy. As long as she's taking it easy, her and the baby should be fine. But it has to be strict bedrest. No physical activity and no sexual intercourse" he tells us and we nod. "We're keeping you for a couple of days to monitor you before sending you home." he tells us and we just nod. Juice steps to the hallway and calls my dad and Opie and they head up to the hospital. Opie walks into the room while Juice is filling my dad in on everything in the hallway. "Hey Bitty." he says. "Hey Giant." I say without looking at him. "Hey. Talk to me." he says. I look at him and say "I'm on strict bed rest. No physical activity and no sex." I tell him. "Shit. But you and the kid will be okay as long as you take it easy?" he asks. "Should be." I tell him, looking down at my stomach. "Something else on your mind?" he asks. "He said no sex. Juice will get tired of that shit real quick." I tell him and he rolls his eyes. "You honestly think that?" he asks and I nod my head. "That man loves you. He doesn't even see anyone else so get that shit out of your head right now." he tells me and I just nod knowing that is what will happen.
A few minutes later my dad and Juice walk in and my dad comes and sits on the side of my bed. "You okay Princess?" he asks. "I will be. Just gotta be on bedrest the rest of this pregnancy." I tell him. "You do what the doctor says and everything will be fine." he tells me and I nod. After they leave, Juice takes my dad's seat and kisses me softly. "You wanna tell me what's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" he asks. I don't look at him but say "No sex. How long before you get tired of that Juice?" I ask. "Don't matter. I ain't touching anyone else and no one else is touching me. We'll figure it out. Don't worry about it baby. I don't want anyone but you." he tells me and I look into his eyes and ask "You'd tell me if you decide to get it somewhere else right?" I ask. "That's not an option for me. If I'm not inside you I'm not inside anyone else. I promise." he tells me and I hope he's telling the truth.
