"Emily babe hows your day going," Emily said answering the phone.
"Its good hows ruth feeling," he asked. The past couple of days ruth has been acting weird she hasn't wanted to eat been sleeping alot and just not acting like her self. This morning Aaron offered to stay home and work from here but Emily insisted that he goes in.
"Good shes sleeping right know. I got her to eat a couple of strawberries but nothing too big. Im just going to keep an eye on her." Emily said sitting down into the couch.
"Yeah well let me know if you need me at home I can always come home," Aaron said walking out of his office.
"Yeah I know ut we are fine here my aunt should be getting here soon and that way ill have some help. Actually she just pulled up I will talk to you later I love you," she said
"I love you too tell her I said hi."
"Will do bye babe," Emily said before hanging up. "Aunt Katie it is so good to see you," Emily said walking outside giving her aunt a hug.
"Oh, Emily it is good to see you too how is little ruth doing," she asked pulling her bag out from the back seat of the car.
"Shes good she is actually sick right now so we are just keeping an eye on her," Emily said leading her aunt into the house.
"Aw no whats wrong," Katie said putting her bag down
"Umm, she has just been weird with eating and tired stiff in the neck things like that," Emily answered looking into the pack and play was ruth was sleeping. "She is also starting to get a rash on her hands here I might call our GP to get an appointment," Emily said as her aunt came to stand next to her.
"Em, that sounds like meningitis. Lindsey had it when she was a baby and she had all those things."
"Wait really what do you think we should do," Emily said considered for the heath of her daughter.
"First take a deep breath then call Aaron I will get you a bag packed for her stuff and we will go to the hospital ok," Katie said putting her hand on emilys shoulder. Emily nodded taking a deep breath before calling Aaron when her aunt walked upstairs.
"Aaron shore," he said answering his phone.
"Babe it's me my aunt and I were talking about ruth and hows she is sick and my aunt thinks she has meningitis. She said we need to take her to the hospital right now." Emily said pacing in the living room.
"What babe you guys think she has meningitis," Aaron said
"Yeah, apparently my cousin had it when she was about her age and had everything ruth is having," Emily said as her aunt walked down the stairs. "Anyway we're going to the hospital can you meet us there," she asked picking up ruth.
"Yeah yeah of course im leaving right now," Aarons said grabbing his jacket off the chair. "Virginia cancel all my meetings for today im going to the hospital. She hears d him tell his assistant. " im leaving know babe I'll see you there ok I love you." he said climbing into his car
"Ok I love you too," she said before climbing into the car that drove to the hospital. While Emily got ruth her aunt walked into the hospital to talk to someone. Emily walked in with ruth who was taken into a pediatrics room and put into a crib. Seconds later Aaron rushed in.
"Em," he said taking her into his arms.
"They are going to take some tests and get back to us," she said pulling away.
"You two have nothing to be worried about this is pretty communion in babies." her aunt Katie said standing up. "Hello Aaron," she said giving him a hug.
"Hello, im Dr. Lauren Stewar. Im going to take a quick test of little Ruths mouth we should get the results back in about 5 minutes if it is positive then we will start her right away on iv antibiotics for 48 hours and then she should be good to go home." the doctor said walking into the room and taking a swab of Ruth's mouth. "I will get this going right away and get the results back as soon as possible," she said walking out of the room.
"How did this happen she almost never leaves the house and when she does she with us," Emily said sinking into the chair.
"Hey no ok she is going to be fine and this is nobody's fault, ok this stuff happens," Aaron said sitting down on the arm next to her. After about five minutes the doctor walked back in. \
"We just got the test results back. She has tested positive for meningitis. We want to get her on a 48-hour iv antibiotic as soon as possible.
"Yes- yes of course whatever you have to," Aaron said standing up.
"Ok." the doctor said before opening the door and pulling in an iv stand. She walked over to the crib and stuck ruth who had been asleep this whole time with the iv needle in her hand. She plugged the machine in. "We should start to see her come back to her normal self. After 48 hours, she can go home. She might be tired and have less of an appetite but every day that stuff will get better, I will be outside if you need anything at all." the doctor said before walking outside the room.
"You should probably call your family they are gonna want to know," Emily said walking to stand next to ruth.
"Yeah I'll call my parents and Nadia I'll be right back," Aaron said giving her a kiss on the temple before exiting the room. He called his mom letting her know what was going on. After he called Nadia and told her and also told her that they wouldn't be able to do dinner as they planned. She understood and told Aaron to call her if he needed anything. After they hung up her stayed outside the room for a second leaning against looking in on the one-way window. He saw Emily still standing next to Ruth's crib while her aunt sat in the chair on the inside of the room.
"Aaron what's going on." he hears from the side of him seeing seth walking toward him. "The secret service told the president that they took you here he sent me to check up on you." he continued finishing his steps towed him.
"Its ruth she has meningitis they have her on 48 hours of antibiotics." he huffed pointing into the room.
"Shit. hows Emily taking this," he asked looking into the room.
"She is stressing her self out which I dont love with her being pregnant but I get it. Seeing your baby in a little hospital gown needle in her hand." Aarons said dropping his face letting out a couple of tears.
"Hey man, it's gonna be ok. She going to be fine," seth said grabbing Aarons by his shoulders. "I am going to go by your place and get you and Emily both changes of clothes and I'll pick up some food on my way back ok," seth said while Aaron nodded. "Ok know go be with your wife because she needs you I'll text you if I need help. I am also going to call the president and let him know ok." seth continued before Aaron walked into the room and seth walked down the hall towards the door.
Aaron lied on a small couch that the room had in it with Emily curled into his side when the machine that ruth was hooked up too started beeping both Aaron and Emily shot up while nurses rushed into the room. "We need you to stand back." a nurse said blocking the form seeing what was happing.
"What's happing to her," Emily said through her tears while Aaron grabbed her.
"Her body is rejecting the antibiotics but the doctor here is going to help her so why dont we come to wait outside." the nurse said leading them into the hallway.
