Chapter 44:
"God please," Mush mumbled. The sick room door opened and the doctor walked out. Everyone stood up. They had all been sitting in the hallway for close to three hour snow with no word from the doctor. The doctor was pulling off the gloves which had blood on them and his shirt had blood on it to. The doctor looked at Mush.
"The baby's gone. I tired everything. I am so sorry Mush." Books put her arm around Mush's waist. "Now Fire is doing alright. She is a little drugged. I had to give her a lot of medication. She's gonna be in pain after it wears off. So here's a bottle of pills. Give her one every two hours. And here are sleeping pills if she is having trouble sleeping. She doesn't know the baby didn't make it. So someone is gonna have to tell her. I want her to rest like for two weeks. I'll be back at the end of two weeks to check on her. And please no stress on her. She might be in a bad mood. She's really weak to. Keep an eye on her and call me if there is something wrong. I wanna make sure that this doesn't cause her disease to grow stronger since she is so weak. See you in two weeks. She can be moved to her room this way Mush your always there. Once again I am sorry about your daughter. She can be buried. My assistant is there if you wanna make plans." The Doctor walked down the hallway and down the stairs. Everyone just stared at the door until Mush finally got the courage to go in. He saw the assistant standing there with a small box in his hands. The assistant look up at Mush and gave a weak smile.
***One hour later***
"All the plans made?" Dolly asked. Mush nodded. "So now all your daughter needs is a name. Fire will wanna help with that. Is she up yet? You moved her upstairs. Have you checked on her? Where's Spot?"
"Upstairs with Fire baby." Race kissed Dolly's neck. "Stop worrying she's gonna be okay. She's a strong girl."
"No Mother is strong enough to loose a child. Mush shouldn't you be up there with your wife? I mean it was your child to." Mush looked at Dolly.
"Just shut up. I just had to make arrangements to burry my first child. Who didn't even make it to birth. Yes my wife who does not love me just went through so much pain she would have not gone through if it wasn't for m me getting her pregnant. So please shut up Dolly. I don't wanna see her. I cant face her. Because when I so I am gonna have to tell her that our child is gone!" Mush sat down and Books hugged him. "Books you like a mom. When's Old Spotty gonna get you pregnant?" Books laughed a little and looked at Mush.
"Everything is gonna be okay." Books kissed Mush forehead.
***Upstairs***
"Spot!" Fire yelled when Spot walked into the room. "How you doin Bro??!! Come here and give me a hug!" Sot walked over to Fire and hugged her.
"How you feeling Fire?" Spot sat down at the end of the bed.
"Look over there Spot. Look." Spot turned to where Fire was pointing. "Hahahaha Made you look!" Spot smiled. "How am I feeling. I think the question is boy. How are you feeling. Shhh be quiet. Okay now talk. I am feeling just dandy."
"That's good." The door opened and Mush walked in. Fire turned to Spot.
"Shhh that's my husband. I love him but he doesn't know it. don't tell him though. Shhh," Fire whispered to Spot. "heeeeeeeeeeeelloooooooo Mushie Pushie Wushie!"
"Hey Fire." Mush turned to Spot. "Should we give her the sleeping pill?" Spot nodded and stood up. "Here Fire take this."
"Ummmmmmm how about no. Hahahaha. No. Hahahaha. I am so funny. What is it. Are you trying to kill me. That wouldn't be nice you know. I mean I can't die because I gotta have my baby and raise my son." Mush handed Fire the pill and a glass of water. "Okay I'll take it." Mush sat own next to Fire. "Don't ever leave me." Mush laid next to Fire and wrapped his arms around her. Spot smiled and slipped out of the room. In a matter of seconds Fire was asleep.
"Never." Mush whispered.
