"Reuniting With Problems" Part 9

Bobby jumped out of bed and came to my side of the bed, he kneeled down beside me and wrapped his arms around me. I started crying. "Linds, shh.. it's okay, I'm going to take you to the hospital and everything is going to be okay." He got dressed and helped me up. "C'mon sweetie." I got some sweats on and he helped me to the car. He held my hand the whole drive to the hospital. "Bobby, I'm scared." He helped me out and walked into the hospital. He rubbed my neck. "Everything is going to be okay, I promise." We got up to the front desk in the ER. "Can I help you sir?" "Yeah, my girlfriend is 5 months pregnant and she's bleeding." He was talking so fast I didn't know how they understood him. "Okay calm down." She walked around the counter and wheeled a wheel chair over to me. "Have a seat and we'll take care of you you." Bobby held my hand and started to follow me. "Sir you're going to have to wait here while we examine her." I turned around and called his name and started crying more. "Please, can he stay with me?" I looked up at the nurse. "Okay, you can come in but they have work to do so you'll have to keep out of their way." He held my hand as they brought me into one of the exam rooms. "If you could put this on and I can have you OBGYN's name. I'll page them for you."

"Dr. Martin." "Okay have a seat there and I'll be in in a few minutes." Bobby helped me change and I couldn't let go of his hand. When I was changed he took me into his arms and held me. "it's going to be okay. The baby and you are going to be fine." Just then the doctor walked in. "Hi Lindsay I'm Dr. Porter, Dr. Martin is in delivery now so I'm gonna take care of you today." "Okay." She sat down next to me. "Can you tell me what happened?" I squeezed Bobby's hand. "We were taking a nap and I woke up and there was this really sharp pain in my stomach and I felt something on the sheets and there was blood everywhere." "Okay, I'm going to check and see if the baby's okay, so can you lie down for me?" "Yeah." Bobby helped me lie down and the doctor felt around my stomach. "Does this hurt at all?" "Yeah but it's just a cramping not like a sharp pain." "Okay, cramping isn't uncommon, I want to do an ultrasound and make sure everything's alright." "Okay." I started crying and Bobby smoothed my hair and tried to comfort me. "The gel is going to be cold but you're probably a pro at this." She put the gel on my stomach and we turned to look at the screen. I could hear my baby's heartbeat and for the first time that day I smiled. I turned to Bobby and saw the smile on his face too. "Well the baby looks fine, she has a strong heartbeat and she's a little small but she's healthy." I cried harder, this time they were happy tears and I felt Bobby kiss the top og my head and wipe my tears away. "However, this little scare was most likely due to stress. Are you under a lot of stress?" Before I could answer Bobby did. "Yes, she has been, but we'll change that." I looked at him and smiled knowing it's what was best. "Okay for the next 4 weeks your on bed rest, no working, stay in the house and try and stay off your feet as much as you can." "4 weeks? No work? No being on my feet?" I couldn't stay away that long. "Yeah, it's the safest for you and the baby." I knew with Bobby by my side I wasn't going to get off the doctor's orders. "Well, she won't be on her feet so she'll be okay." He squeezed my hand. "Alright, continue to take your vitamins and lot's of water, stay away from a lot of unhealthy foods, I know you'll have cravings and I'm not saying you have to ban from them, just limit yourself." "Okay." "I want to keep you over night for observation and you'll be released tomorrow morning." "Okay, so the baby is okay?" I wanted to make sure. "Baby is perfect, sometimes bleeding happens during pregnancy but it shouldn't this far into the pregnancy so it should stop in a few days. If it doesn't we'll want you back here and we'll go from there." "Thank you Dr. Porter." She shook my hand and Bobby's. "You take care and one of the nurses will be up in a second to set you up."

"Thank you." She walked out the door and Bobby and I turned to eachother. "You feeling okay baby?" He rubbed my cheek. "I'm feeling okay, much better now that I know little Emma is okay." "Yeah me too." He smiled, and one of the nurses walked in. "Hi Lindsay, I'm Pam, I'm taking care of you til tomorrow." "Hi."

"Is there anything I can get you?" "I'm okay, I'm just tired." I yawned. "Alright, well you need to get sleep so rest and call me if you need anything, I'll keep coming in and out." "Thanks." "Here, why don't you try and sleep and I'll call Helen and have her get you some pajamas and clothes for tomorrow." "Okay, but come back soon."

"I promise I will." He kissed my head and walked out the room but I called his name before he had left. "Bobby." He turned to me again. "Yeah." "You can't call Helen, it's Saturday and she's at her parents house til Monday." "Oh yeah, who should I call than?" I would have said he should go but I knew he wanted to stay. "Mu aunt, she'll come down." Since my mom's death we became really close. "Okay." I sunk my head back into the pillows and laid my hand on my stomach and that's how I fell asleep. I must've slept for a while because when I woke up it was dark. I looked at my surroundings and Bobby was by my side just staring at me and holding my hand. "Hey sleepy." I smiled. "Hey." "I was wondering when you were going to wake up." "I haven't been asleep that long." He laughed and I was confused. "What are you laughing at?" "Baby, it's 9:30 at night, you've been asleep sine 4. But it was much needed sleep." "That long?" I didn't think I'd been asleep that long. "Yeah." Just then Pam walked in. "Hey! You're finally awake." "Yeah." I chuckled. "Well it's time for you to eat a little okay?" "Yeah, okay." I sat up waiting for the "yummy hospital food." She brought in a cart with toast, saltines, and soup with milk. I wrinkled my nose at the milk, yuck I hate milk. 'Here you go."

"Umm...do you have anything besides milk?" "Why? Milk is good for you and you need it for the baby." "I don't like milk though, I never have." "Okay, well how about some apple juice?" "That's better thanks." She left the room and Bobby laughed at me. "What?" "You're picky you know that?" "I'm sorry." I laughed. We sat in silence a while. "Are you sure you're okay?" He was in his overprotective mode again. "I'm fine." "Did you call my aunt?"

"Yeah, sorry, she dropped that bag off there while you were sleeping." He pointed to the bag by my bed. "She said she'd call and hopes you feel better." "Thanks."

"I also called the rest of the office and they're coming by to see you." "No, they don't have to." "They wanted to." The nurse came in with the juice. "Apple juice okay?" "Yeah, that's fine thanks." I took my juice and drank some of it. "You're welcome, eat up okay?" "I will thank you." I nibbled on the toast while Bobby and I chatted back and forth. Just as I started eating my soup Bec, Lucy, Ellenor, Eugene, and Jimmy came in. "Hey Linds." Bec walked in and hugged me. "Hey. Hey everybody, you didn't have to come you know." "We know, but we wanted to see how you were doing." "Awe. Thanks guys. I'm doing okay. Just some stress, they're keeping me here tonight, then I get to go home and be on bed rest for a month." "It'll be okay Linds, look who you've got to take care of you."

"I know, but I've got my own practice I can't just close it down because I'm pregnant. Clients are going to keep coming and Helen can't do it by herself." "Maybe you could hire." "Don't have the time to interview." "We can help you and don't tell me you can't afford it either because your firm is doing great." Eugene managed to break in before Bec kept going on. "I know, I just--well I'll think about it."

"So the baby is okay?" Jimmy spoke for the first time. "Yeah, the baby is fine. Just gave us a little scare that's all." I smiled at Bobby and squeezed his hand. "Finish up your soup baby." I finished up my soup and Bobby put the tray aside so I could move more. I sat up a little more just to get comfortable.

"Ow!" I held my stomach and Bobby was there in a second. "What's wrong? Linds you okay?" I giggled. "She kicked again."

"Jesus Linds, you scared the hell out of me." I knew he wasn't mad. I laughed. "I'm sorry sweetie." He leaned over and kissed me and placed his hand on my stomach. He kept it there and sat there looking into my eyes, everyone else was forgotten quickly. "Hey, we're going to go and let you two have time to yourselves, we just wanted to make sure you were okay." Bec spoke up. "Thanks guys." I smiled and got a hug from everyone. "Yeah, thanks. I'll come by work one day next week." "You worry about taking care of Lindsay Bobby." "I will. Bye guys." "Bye you two." Everyone said in unison. After sharing goodbyes it was Bobby and me again. "So you want to get some rest? You look tired sweetie." "I am."

"Alright, you rest okay?" "Okay." He gave me a kiss and sat in the chair next to my bed. "Love you Bobby."

"Love you too pumpkin." I fell asleep and when I woke it was late at night, all the lights were off except for one by my bed and I looked at Bobby who was sound asleep. I felt the baby kicking again and I smiled. I tried going back to sleep but the baby was too active. I turned facing the windows on my side, with no luck I turned on my side facing Bobby and smiled. The baby stopped bouncing around and I rested my hand on my stomach and closed my eyes. I stayed like that for a few minutes and the baby started moving around again, she kept kicking and it hurt, it wouldn't stop and I was tired and in pain. I tried every position to keep the baby comfortable but she wouldn't and tears started falling, tears of frustration and pain. I cried into my pillow and I felt someone's hand on my back, I knew who that hand belonged to and I couldn't face him now so I buried my head further into the pillow. "Honey, what's wrong?" I shook my head. "Nothing important." "Sweetie, please tell me. I want to help you." I turned over on my side and he sat in the chair again holding my hand and stroking my cheek with his other hand. "You can't help." "Can I try?" "The baby won't stop kicking and I just want to sleep and I know it's an amazing feeling and it really is but I just want to sleep." He sat on the side of the bed. "Come here." I sat up still holding my stomach. He took me into his arms and I buried my head into his chest. He kissed my head and kept stroking my hair over and over. Then he put a hand on my stomach and bent down towards it. "Hey Emma, it's daddy, I know you want to tell mommy you love her, but you don't have to kick her all the time, once in a while is good, your mommy knows you love her and she loves you too. You just have to let her sleep for a little while so she'll be nice and strong and healthy and she can take care of you. So just rest for now, okay pumpkin." Bobby kissed my stomach. "Daddy loves you, and you're safe with mommy and dadd y so rest up." He was so gentle and loving. He looked up at me and I smiled, he kissed me and we leaned back on the bed, I cuddled into his arms and he kept one hand on my stomach rubbing it gently. We stayed like that for 10 minutes, the baby had still been kicking, but then she stopped. Bobby stopped rubbing my stomach and just rested it there next to mine. I smiled and closed my eyes. "Goodnight Emma." I snuggled in closer to him, i didn't think I could get any closer to him. "Goodnight Linds, I love you." "Night Bobby, I love you too." And I fell asleep right on his chest dreaming about what a great life I had. Good job, good home, good family, and a great boyfriend. I kept dreaming about getting married and I saw a picture of the three of us in my dream on our wedding day. Why did I say no to him? The last thing I kept thinking was how to get him on topic of getting married again.
