On the way home from the store, they went to Lowe's and bought some blue
paint for the walls to go with the bunny border. Since they had cleared out
the room earlier, now all they had to do was decorate.
Landon and his dad painted the walls blue with the roller, while Jamie washed all of the sheets and blankets to put in the cribs. Landon's mom brought over Landon's rocker, and then helped Jamie put together the cribs and changing table, but they had lots of trouble, so they put it down and decided to have lunch. Jamie took the sheets out of the dryer and took them upstairs while Landon's mom made sandwiches for everyone for lunch.
Jamie came downstairs and sat down with Landon to eat. "You look pale Jamie, are you feeling okay?" he asked. "Umm not really, I'm really tired and my stomach hurts real bad," said Jamie. "Well after you have lunch, you should go and lay down, we can finish the nursery another day." Jamie nodded. She took a few more bites of her ham sandwich, then went upstairs. Landon noticed that she was walking more slowly than usual.
After Jamie went upstairs, Landon's mother whispered, "She doesn't look too good Landon, you should take her to the doctor." Landon nodded, taking a drink from his Coke can. "I'll go see how she is in a little while, and then if she's still feeling bad, I'll call the doctor."
After lunch, Landon's mother cleaned up, while Landon and his dad went back to painting the walls. Since two of them were dry, Landon's mom started to put up the wallpaper. "Wouldn't it be great if by the time Jamie saw it, this was all done?" asked Landon. "I think Jamie would love it, and I bet that we could finish it if we all work together," said Landon's dad.
Two hours later, the walls were done, and Landon started putting the cribs together, while his dad put together the changing table, and his mom sewed the pretty blue drapes for above the two windows in the room. "I'm going to go check on Jamie and make sure she's okay," said Landon. He walked across the hall to his and Jamie's room. Opening the slightly closed door, he tiptoed inside so he wouldn't wake her.
He walked over to her, looking at her lying on the bed. He crept up closer to the side of the bed where she lay asleep. He nuzzled her cheek gently. She stirred a little. Landon backed away a bit. Jamie turned slowly. Opening her eyes, she looked up at Landon. "Hi sweetheart," he whispered, smiling at her. "How are you feeling?" "Okay," Jamie said. She moved over a little bit on the bed and motioned for Landon to sit down next to her. "When is our next doctor's appointment?" she asked, her voice soft. "Tomorrow I think," said Landon. "Why?" he asked. "Just wondering," said Jamie. "Because I'm feeling kind of sick, and that's should have been over last month or the month before," she said. "If you're feeling bad or have a bad feeling about something, then we should go to the doctor today," he said. "If she has a spot open I would like to go," said Jamie. "Okay, let me go call and I'll see," said Landon. "You just stay here and I'll be right back."
Landon went downstairs to call the doctor. "Hi this is Landon Carter, Jamie's husband," he said. "Yes, she's not feeling too well and I was wondering if there was any chance that we could come in and see you today," said Landon. "Okay, three thirty? That would be fine. Thank you very much. Goodbye," said Landon, hanging up the phone.
Landon went back upstairs to tell his parents they would have to leave soon, and to tell Jamie about the appointment. He looked at the clock on the wall going up the stairs. It was two o'clock. "Mom, Dad," he said, "Jamie and I are going to the doctors at three thirty, but you can stay here if you want, we shouldn't be too long." "We'll stay here and finish the nursery if you want us to," said Landon's mom. "Would you? That would mean so much to Jamie if she came home and it was all done. I just know she would love it."
Landon went back into his and Jamie's room, where Jamie was still lying on the bed. "I got us an appointment for three thirty," he said, sitting down on the bed next to her. "Okay," said Jamie. She got up from the bed slowly, and reached for Landon's hands. He helped her up and held her. "Why don't you sit down and I'll get you something to wear, that way you don't have to get up," said Landon. Jamie nodded, sitting back down on the bed. Landon tossed her a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and threw them on the bed.
Jamie got changed and then Landon and Jamie went downstairs and got in the car to leave. Jamie was nervous and very quiet as Landon drove. "Everything okay Jamie?" asked Landon. "I guess," she said. She didn't say much the rest of the drive.
Landon pulled into a parking spot and stopped the car. Turning it off, he got out and helped Jamie out. Jamie took Landon's hand and held it tightly as they walked into the building. They got in the elevator and went to the 21st floor. The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. Landon and Jamie walked down the hall, and Landon opened the heavy door to the office. Jamie was almost shaking as she walked in the door.
They sat down in the waiting room nervously as they waited for the receptionist to call them in. "Don't worry Jamie, everything will be fine," said Landon, holding Jamie's hand tightly. The door opened and the doctor came out. Landon and Jamie stood up and followed her into the office. They sat down in chairs opposite the desk, as they did the last time they had come. "So tell me, what is wrong?" asked the doctor, fumbling with her glasses. Landon looked at Jamie for something to say. "I've just been feeling really tired, and I just have this feeling that something is wrong. And I know that we have an appointment to see you tomorrow, I just didn't want to wait," said Jamie. "Don't worry about it, it's no problem," said the doctor. "Why don't you come inside, and we'll just make sure that everything is okay."
Jamie followed the doctor into the room, and Landon waited outside while Jamie changed. The doctor opened the door, and Landon came inside. Standing close to Jamie, Landon held her hand tightly. The doctor looked at the screen, mumbling words to herself, making Jamie more nervous than she was. "What is it?" said Landon nervously. Seeing the look on Jamie's face, he was afraid of what the doctor might be about to say. "Jamie, one of your babies is in trouble, and we have to induce labor." "What's wrong?" asked Jamie, panicking, looking at Landon and then back at the doctor. "The umbilical cord is wrapped around one of your baby's necks, and we have to take it out." "What about the other baby?" asked Landon. "The other baby is fine, but both of them will have to come out." "But it's too soon, way too soon," said Jamie. "I'm sorry Jamie, but there is no other way," said the doctor.
Landon and his dad painted the walls blue with the roller, while Jamie washed all of the sheets and blankets to put in the cribs. Landon's mom brought over Landon's rocker, and then helped Jamie put together the cribs and changing table, but they had lots of trouble, so they put it down and decided to have lunch.
