"Please," said the doctor, "It is very risky. You're risking your young
life! You can have more children later. Don't you think so Landon?"
"I think it is Jamie's body and Jamie's decision," he replied and looked over at Jamie. "What do you think."
"I want to have this child," she said, patting her stomach.
"You know there is a signifigant chance you will die during the last few months of pregnancy or especially the birth."
The thought of dying when she had just escaped it terrified her through and through. She looked over at Landon, who's face had gone completely white at the thought.
"But if you must go on with it," started the doctor.
"Yes, we must," Jamie replied.
"There is a clinic in Phoenix that is especially for very high risk paitients, especially ones in your," he stopped for a moment, then continued, "condition."
"We'll think about it," said Landon. He wasn't sure about that. How would it be for Jamie in that delicate time when she might die to be away from her father? And away from the familiar surroundings, and in such a hot place too.
"Well our time is up," said the doctor, "I'll be hearing from you soon, okay?" Jamie nodded and Landon led her out of the door.
As they were driving in the car, Landon started conversation. "What do you think about the clinic?" Jamie shrugged, looking out the window. "I don't know. Being so far away from home."
They drove in silence for a few moments. "I think we should go," blurted Landon, and he started gushing out words, "Jamie I almost lost you once, I can't lose you again. You wouldn't want your child to be raised with out you would you? This is our best chance, Phoenix is. You know it is! We have to go, maybe your father could go to. I don't know I just don't -,"
"Shh," Jamie said, putting a finger over her frantic husband's lips. They pulled into the driveway. "I know something that will calm your nerves," she said, grabbing his hand and leading him to their room, closing the door softly behind them.

Landon laid in bed, and Jamie's idea actually had calmed him down. He looked over at his angel, now sleeping, listening to her shallow breathing. He was thinking about how his child also laid there, and pressed his ear against her stomach to see if he could hear anything. Jamie stirred. He, disappointedly, couldn't hear anything. But he consoled him self with the fact that she didn't even show yet.
"What are you doing?" Jamie murmured, looking up at him. He lifted his head from her stomach. She opened her eyes and smiled at him, realizing what he was doing.
"Did you hear anything Mr. Carter?" asked Jamie, smiling.
"No," he said sadly.
Jamie got up and started toward the door. "Want some lemonade?" she asked.
"Sure."
She started toward the stairs and then there was a scream and thumping. Landon ran out to the stairs to see Jamie sprawled at the bottom step. "JAMIE!"
A/N I said suspense in the Genre, is this suspense or is this suspense! Even I'm wondering LOL
