Eight weeks later

I had this incredible headache that would not go away. Addison came over to me.

"Hey don't forget your appointment at two." Addison reminded me.

"Yeah." I said not really paying attention. Callie came over to me as Addison was walking away.

"You okay?" Callie asked. Next thing I knew I was on the ground seizing. "ADDISON!" Callie yelled and knelt down next to me. She held me. "It's okay Kallye, you are going to be okay." She assured me. The seizure stopped and then Addison was there. Someone lifted me on to a gurney. It was Alex. Addison and Callie started to push me away.

"That's my kid! Let me come with you." Alex yelled after then. Addison glanced nervously at me. I nodded.

"Fine." She told him. "Kallye how are you feeling?" Addison asked once we had gotten me to a room and she was checking my blood pressure.

"Like I've been hit by a bus." I told her.

"Your blood pressure is through the roof." Addison said. Addison hung a bag of something on my IV to bring down my blood pressure.

"It's eclampsia isn't it?" Alex asked. Addison nodded.

"He's only twenty four weeks you can't deliver him there's no way he's ready." Alex said.

"I don't want to but if I we cant keep her stable we're going to have to deliver. I'm sorry Alex." Addison told him.

"Addison, my head hurts. Am I allowed to have some pain meds?" I asked. Addison nodded.

"Of course." She told me.

"Addison, don't let him die." I told her. Addison nodded and smiled.

"I won't let Anthony die." She assured me. I smiled.

Alex's View

Kallye's vitals were awful. Everyone knew it except for her, and maybe she knew it too. I hadn't left her side and my eyes were glued to the fetal monitor.

"Alex, if he goes south the monitor will go off. No need to dry your eyes out from staring." Addison told me when she came to check on a sleeping Kallye.

"How long can she hold on?" I asked.

"If we can get her blood pressure to stay down she could go to about thirty weeks." Addison informed me.

"I was such an idiot. I should have been with her the whole time. I never should have left her. I love her but she got pregnant and I didn't want a kid. I was stupid Kallye and this baby, Kallye and Anthony are everything to me." I said. Kallye's eyes fluttered open.

"Alex? I missed you." Kallye said. I smiled and pulled her into a hug. Kallye started seizing in my arms. Addison increased the drip of her IV and the seizure stopped. I laid her down on the bed again. Kallye's eyes remained closed.

"Is she comatose?" I asked.

"No. Her body is just exhausted." Addison said.

Two weeks later

Twenty six weeks, Kallye hadn't had a seizure in two weeks and we were together again. She was typing away on her laptop when she stopped abruptly and her face scrunched up in pain.

"Kallye are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, he's just kicking." Kallye said. "He's going to be a soccer player. Do you want to feel?" She asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Heck yeah." I said and put my hand on her stomach. I smiled as I felt him kick.

"Anthony Alexander Shepherd-Karev." She said. I smiled.

"I like it." I told her. Kallye smiled. Callie came into the room.

"Alex, can I talk to Kallye in private?" Callie asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'll be right back Kal." I told Kallye and kissed her on the cheek before leaving.

Callie's view

Alex left and I sat down where he had been sitting.

"You've gotten a lot bigger." I started awkwardly.

"Yeah, that's typically what happens when you're pregnant." Kallye joked.

"Addison is as big as you are." I told her.

"Yeah, it's weird. Callie are you okay? Is there something bothering you?" Kallye asked.

"I'm pregnant. Mark and I are having a kid." I told her.

"Cal, that's great! How far are you?" She asked.

"Six weeks." I told her.

"Does Mark know?" Kallye asked.

"I just told him." I said.

"What did he say?" Kallye asked.

"He's excited." I said smiling. Kallye started seizing. "Somebody page Dr. Montgomery!" I yelled. Addison ran in.

"I was on my way to check on her. He blood pressure shot up again." Addison said worriedly.

"We were just talking." I said. Addison increased the drip.

"Blood pressure is going down." Addison announced.

"How long can we do this?" I asked.

"Well, I was hoping we could make it to thirty weeks but I don't know now." Addison told me sadly.

"What are Anthony's chances?" I asked.

"His lungs need as much time as we can give them." Addison said. I nodded. Kallye's eyes opened.

"Callie?" She asked.

"Hey Kal." I said.

"Addison? How is Anthony?" She asked.

"He's hanging in there." Addison told her.

"That's real comforting." Kallye joked.

"Kallye, the drip isn't doing much. I know you are only twenty six weeks but Anthony can survive, it's up to you." Addison told her.

"No, I want to keep him in as long as possible." Kallye replied stubbornly. Addison nodded.

"Okay then." She said and left.

"Kallye, you could die. You know that right?" I asked.

"I know, but if Anthony didn't make it I don't know what I would do." Kallye told me. "What would you do? If you were in my shoes?" Kallye asked.

"I would probably do the same thing." I decided.

"Exactly."

"Are you going to tell Alex that you had another seizure?" I asked.

"No. I don't want to worry him." Kallye told me.

"What happens if someone tells him?"

"We will cross that bridge when we come to it." Kallye said. I laughed.

"Good luck." I said.
