Week 12
Shivers went up her spine as Randi dreamt. The man was holding th eknife to her stomach trying to cut her child from her once again. She couldn't shake these dreams. They often came from her Her scar on her breast was a constant reminder of her attack. A peircing scream jolted Randi from her sleep. Ireland's screams bolted from the baby monitor. Randi jumped up and rushed to the nursery.
"Baby, whats wrong??" She scooped up the red screamin gbaby, "Ireland, shhhh." She fet her forhead and her hand was scalded at the touch, "Oh sweety, youre burning up." Randi walked to the bathroom and grabbed the ear theroeter. Ireland's first fever. "Just a few seconds baby." Randi soothed as she held the themometer in her ear. It buzzed and randi looked at it.
"Shit." It read 103.4. That was too high. Randi rubbed Ireland's back and started to bath, "All right, Darling. Mama is going to give you a bath and see if that helps." Her screams peirced through Randi's ear. Oh Dave, I wish you were home. Randi took her diaper off and put Ireland in the water. She only screamed louder.
"Ireland, be quiet please. mommy is trying." Randi splashed water on her daughter rubbing her down. Ireland wasnt calming down. Randi grabbed the towel and took Ireland from the water. She looked in the medicine cabinet. No childrens medication. They never had a need for it. Randi went into Ireland's room and got her dressed.
"Come on, Baby, we're going to see Daddy." Randi was clueless. She didn't know what to do. "Shh, baby. It'll be okay."

"I want to go home and sleep." Dave groaned laying his head on the desk. John gave him a look.
"You still have two hours on your shift." He imformed him. "ANd you have a patient who still needs you."
"Everybody needs Dave." He mumbled as Randi ran into the Er with the screaming Ireland.
"Dave!" Randi cried. Dave ran over to her taking Ireland from her.
"What happened??"
"She's burning up and screaming......I dont know what to do!" Randi whimpered.
"It's okay." He said walking to exam three, "Pumpkin, you not feeling well? Lydia, let's get a CBC and a Sputum Culture if you can."
"Is it nessesary?" Randi asked. Dave nodded.
"Shes probably picked up some viral infection at the park or something." Dave said examined his daughter, "Did she have this rash this morning?" Randi looked at Ireland and shook her head.
"No..." Dave felt his way around Ireland's neck. He could feel her swolen lymph nodes.
"Lyida, let's get Ireland some Acetaminophen." Dave said. Randi started to panic.
"Why???" She cried.
"Looks like she has roseola. A lot of kids get it." Dave said."It's nothing to be concerned about except her fever. The rash should clear up in a few days."
"How did she get this?" Randi asked.
"Someone at the park probably had it. I dont know. The incubation period is usualy between five and fifteen days." Dave said, "All we need to do right now is get her fever down. We don't want any fever induced seizures or anything."
"Oh god." Dave sighed sitting down next to Randi.
"It'll be okay, Randi. We'll keep her here over night just to keep an eye on her fever, but its nothing to be worrid about really."
"It jsut scared me. She's never been sick before." Randi said as Ireland grabbed for her chest. Randi sighed and started to breastfeed Ireland calming he down some.
"Her first sickness. This is the begining of a lot of first." He said, "We still have to go through Chicken pox, the flu, colds, the ruins-"
"Okay, enough." Randi chuckled looking at her daughter. "This is happening too fast."
"What is?" He asked.
"Her growing up." Randi said. "I'm not ready for her to get old."
"Yeah, but we're goign to go through a lot more firsts in twenty- eight weeks." Dave said putting his arm around his wife. "First night having two babies screaming, First double diaper change, first double steps, first double teeth..." Randi chuckled.
"It's going to be a wild time when this one is born." She said.
"Wild and wonderful times."Dave said as Lydia walke dup to them.
"There's a room all ready for her." She said. Dave nodded.
"Thanks." He said, "Come on, Pumpkin, youre going ot be spending the night in a brand new room, but Mommy and Daddy wil be right there." Dave led his girls to the room. He sighed softly. Randi still looked extremly sppoked even though he said Ireland would be all right. ~She must have had one of her nightmares again~
