A/N: I really appreciate every reader's kind words and reviews. You guys
make the writing worthwhile. Also, I'm not sure whether I agree with my
decision on hurrying Julie's pregnancy, because it hurried Andi and Dean as
well. I hope my decision was good. I promise I'll make up for all the
hurried months. Also: PLEASE(begging) check out my new story When Opposites
Attract, an original, and if you have time To Sing A Song and Leaving Home,
both originals as well…oh and watch Motocrossed, its on May 14th!! Lol
thanks, enjoy reading!
Chapter 26/Baby?
"Julie, Honey how far apart are the contractions?" Andy sat beside Julie, lying on a stretcher, being wheeled into ER.
"I don't know…5 m-m-minutes," she stuttered; sweat pouring off of her forehead.
"Oh Hon, I hate to see you in so much pain…is there anything I can do for you," Andy asked, wiping her brow with a wet cloth.
'No, I'll b-be all riiiight," she gasped, between painful stings. The doctor walked into the ER and took a look, examining her and the baby inside. Moments later a look of pity came over his face. Andy knew then that whatever it was, it wasn't good news. The Richardson's and Carson's stood beside the couple, gripping hands nervously.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but…the baby didn't make it."
"WHAT?" Julie gasped, taking in sharp breaths of air. "N-no that can't be possible…it was fine…I was fine!"
"Yes I know Miss, but the baby didn't seem to get enough oxygen…it's gone."
"B-b-but how can you be so sure," she asked, her face wet with sweaty, salty tears.
"I just am Miss. The baby isn't moving…it's not breathing. I'm so very sorry."
"What happens now," Andy asked from the corner, speaking up for the first time.
"She'll have to deliver the baby."
"What!" Andy stood stunned, nearby the two elder couples, sobbing beside Julie.
"She'll have to deliver it as normal…there's no other way."
Julie sobbed and grabbed Andy's other hand, unable to believe her circumstances.
"Miss this baby's coming-now."
"O-o-ok. I'm ready." She took a deep breath and pushed with all her might.
"Dean!! Dean stop," Andi shrieked, as he playfully pulled her shoulders onto the ground beside him.
"Stop what," he asked innocently. "The funs just begun Miz Carson," he added laughing, pulling her up out of the dirt.
"So buster are you ready to lose the biggest race of your life," Andi asked him fiercely.
"Haha right. No I'm ready to win it."
"Yeah well, we'll see," she said winking. She climbed onto her bike and pumped the pedal, speeding past a dust-covered Dean.
"No way," Dean laughed, and hurried to catch up, finally pulling up beside her. They flew around the track; laughing and racing, lap after lap.
"Dean it's been so long since we raced! I forgot how much fun it could be," Andi said happily, tugging off her helmet.
"Yeah I know. Especially since I beat you," he laughed again.
"Hey," she said, punching his arm. "Only by ½ a lap."
"But, I still won," he replied again.
"Yeah well winning isn't everything! Ever hear that lover-boy," she asked, a teasing smile on her lips.
"Umm…" Dean shrugged, pretending to ponder the subject in deep thought. "Nope."
Andi laughed and hopped off her bike, pulling Dean in for a victory kiss.
"So is that my present for winning," he asked smiling.
"Nope this is your present for winning," she replied, dipping him back into a long, excruciatingly breathless kiss.
"Eww gross! I'm gonna call this one a record. ANDI AND DEAN, BREAK RECORD FOR GOING AT IT IN PUBLIC," Jason yelled appearing upon the scene. "I can see the headlines now."
Andi laughed and smacked him playfully on the behind as he chased Dean around the track. She heard her cell phone ring and hurried to answer it, the voice on the other line threatening. Dean walked over and overheard the shrill voices.
"What do you mean it's gone? She had to deliver it that way? Oh my god…poor Julie…poor Andy! We'll be there in an hour or so…as fast as we can. Yes, but Mom," she paused, her hand shaking, almost dropping the phone. "Ok. All right. Love you. Later. Bye."
Andi closed her cell phone case and flew into Dean's arms, sobbing. "Andi, honey what's wrong," he asked, pulling her back.
"It's Julie and Andy. Their baby, it's…"
"It's what sweetheart," he asked again, rubbing her cheek.
"It's…dead," she whispered, shuddering at the thought.
"You mean she had to…deliver it dead," he asked.
"Yes," she whispered, a pained look on her face.
"Oh no. We better get to the hospital now," he said, gathering up there things and throwing them to a silent Jason.
"No, Mom said she wants us to just go home. She said we'd be no help there."
"Ok, well I guess all we can do is wait for Andy to come home," he said, half dragging, half carrying Andi to the car. They rode home in silence, a surprise greeting them in the driveway. The car Geneva and Mr. Carson had gotten for the twins for their 16th birthday was in the lot. Andy was already home.
Andi gave Dean a look and he nodded, grabbing Jason, and mummuring something about a walk. Andi hurried up the steps to his room and found him sitting alone on his bed, half asleep.
"Andy," she said softly, stepping beside him, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Huh," he asked her, not looking up.
"Come here."
"Why?"
"You've been the strong guy long enough. You deserve to let it out."
She pulled him close, and let him lay in her arms, as the tears eventually came, and overwhelming supply of sticky, wet tears pouring out as he sobbed on his sister's stomach. They fell asleep together, both dreaming of when the nightmare would finally end.
A/N: Ok, I know you guys hate me for killing the baby, but it didn't seem right to have them give it up. You'll see what I have in store…everything will work out for Julie and Andy. Also, I'm probably ending this on the 30th or 35th chapter so if you think I should make a sequel (I'm dying to! Lol) then please email me at hosergirl2u@yahoo.com. Thanks, I'll update soon at like 115 reviews or so.
