Mercedes' OB-GYN came down to assess the baby. Mercedes was cleared, amazingly all she had was a bump on the head from the fall. She sat in an Exam room with Bosco on one side, Carlos on the other. She had fetal monitors on her stomach as she waited to find out if the baby was all right. The OB-GYN came in and looked at her.
"Amazingly, with the spill you took, the baby seems fine. The Ultrasound came out normal. Your baby is fine." The doctor smiled, looking at her. Carlos smiled as Bosco let out the breath he held.
"I am putting you on bed rest. You cannot work the rest of your pregnancy. You are on bed rest until you go into labor. You may walk around the house, go for a walk in the park, whatever. Just no more work. Your job is far too stressful for your condition."
"Damn it! I can't sit at home, I'll insane!" Mercedes pleaded her case but the doctor stood firm.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure she sticks to your regimen." Carlos looked towards her, holding her hand. The doctor nodded and passed her a booklet. When he walked out, Mercedes shook her head.
"I am working. I am not a stay at home."
"No, You're not! Ma is coming over to watch you during the days we aren't home. Your doing what he said!" Bosco shot back. Carlos just frowned at her.
"You want to die? Is that it! I almost lost you and the baby today and you have the nerve to argue with us over whether or not you're staying home for the reminder of your pregnancy? How dare you! Do you think you're the only one involved in this? You're not! Now you're staying home because I can't lose you! I love you with all of my being and I won't lose you!" Carlos' eyes started to tear as he told his wife off. Mercedes blinked, looking at him, and nodded solemnly. Bosco looked up at Carlos and blinked.
"Didn't think you had that in ya, bro." Bosco looked at his sister and nodded at what Carlos said. Mercedes got up and went to get dressed. Carlos felt terrible for yelling at her, and he knew she was upset about it. Sighing he grabbed her bag and waited for her to get dressed.
When they got home, Mercedes went to her room and shut the door. Carlos watched her and his heart sank.
"Don't worry about it. She's just upset. She's not used to being useless." Bosco said plainly as Carlos got a drink from the fridge.
"I don't want her mad at me. I just. I can't lose her. I love her with all of my heart, and if anything happens to her, or the baby, I'll be destroyed."
"I know how you feel. Mercedes is the closest thing I have to me, and I don't want anything to happen to her either. She will understand, when the baby is born and she is all right and the baby is all right." Bosco got a beer and sat, talking to Carlos for a little while.
