The First Day of the Rest of Your Life
Ch. 4- The More Things Change…
(Continued---6 Months)
Jamie quickly made he's way to the hospital. What was wrong? Was it Caitie? He thought as he wondered through the building.
"Jamie! Come on this way." stated Tyler.
"What happened?"
"Caitie started having contractions at the prom. "
"But, she's only 6 months pregnant!"
"The doctor wants to speak to you." he replied.
Val and Hank sat quietly in the waiting room chairs. A tall dark haired doctor turned and looked at Jamie as he approached them.
"How's Caitie? How's the baby?"
"You must be the father." Dr. Mitchell replied. "As you know the baby is three months early. What we are trying to do now is stop Caitie's contractions."
"Will they be alright?"
"Yes, must likely. But, she'll have to be bedridden for the reminder of the pregnancy."
Bedridden? What about school?
"I'll talk to you again in the next hour or so."
"Can I see her?'
"Of course."

"Caitie?" Jamie asked as he peeked he's head in the door.
"You can come in I'm not mad anymore."
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok." Caitie said as she looked down at her stomach. "I have to be bedridden, Jamie." he knew she wanted to cry, but being Caitie he knew she wouldn't.
"I know." he said as he took her hand. "It'll be alright."

Jamie walked back to Caitie's room after talking to both he's and Caitie's parents, and reassuring Hank, Tyler and Val. But, as he got closer, he saw that there was a mass of doctors around the room.
"There's been some complications, this baby is coming now. We're going to do a emergency c-section." the doctor said.
"Can I be with her?
"Yes, sure come on."
Jamie followed the doctor, which led him past everyone. He saw Tyler and Hank giving him thumbs up signs, behind him.
"Hey, Caitie." Jamie replied as he saw her laying on the OR table. Medical paraphernalia lingered in the room.
"You look good in scrubs." she mumbled grapping he's hand.
"And you look good in a hair net." he said. " I love you."
"I love you too."

It seemed like hours to Val in the waiting room. Charlie Roth was pacing the floor and so was Jamie's dad. What was taking so long? Suddenly, as if someone had answered her question, Jamie appeared in front of them.
"She started bleeding heavy, they made me leave." he mumbled, shocked.
"I'll kill you, if anything happens to my little girl." Caitie's dad shouted to Jamie.
"Come on now that's not going to help anything." Alex replied.
Jamie wished Megan and Peter where here with him. Even though they had been the most against his baby being born, he needed he's siblings with him.
"Caitie's going to be alright." Tyler told him.
Jamie hoped he was right.
