The Fate Of Life.
"Theresa. I'm sorry to say that this wasn't labor; it was a false alarm." Dr. Emerson reported to the young woman after he came back from his tests.
"I'm not in labor?" She let out a deep sigh.
"Nope. Don't worry it happens to lots of woman in their last stages."
"So everything is okay?"
"Seems to be."
"Am I done here then?"
"Your mother is finishing the paperwork and after that you can go home. But I need you to get more rest."
"Done." She got off of the bed and walked out of the small room where her mother was explaining something to the nurse.
"Mom. Are you done?"
"Yes Sweetie. Sorry that it was a false alarm."
"I guess."
"Let's go home."
As they were getting into their car, they heard a man's voice yelling over to them.
"Theresa.!! Are you okay?" Ryan ran up to her panting. "Why are you leaving? Let's go to the hospital."
"I'm fine. It was a false labor contraction. Sorry."
"Thank God."
Theresa saw Marissa and Sandy walking briskly over to her car.
"Is everything all right?" Marissa and Sandy asked in unison.
"I'm fine. The baby's fine. It was a false alarm. Sorry for making you guys come all this way. By the way, how did you get here so fast?"
"By speeding. Seth says 85 the new 75 anyways." Sandy said stroking his hair back with his hand.
"So we're going to go back home." Theresa's mother said. "Would any of you like to stay for dinner?"
"That would be great." Sandy agreed. "I'll call Kirsten and tell her we'll be gone for dinner."
He walked over by the hospital entrance and took out his cell phone.
"So. . . " Marissa said.
"Yeah." Theresa mumbled.
"How's everything?"
"Good. I guess." Theresa said quietly. "Yourself?"
"Fine. Ryan's been helping me a lot." She looked over to Ryan who was looking like what should he do.
"How long have you been clean?"
"11 days. Not much but it's better then 0."
"yeah." Theresa rubbed her round stomach.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Marissa asked.
"It's been on my mind a little. I really like the name Bailey. What do you think of that Ryan?"
"Wha...What?" He looked over at the girls.
"I said do you like the name Bailey if it's a girl?"
Ryan looked over at Marissa who now looked like the one out of place. The fish out of water.
"It's okay."
"Who 'bout you Marissa. Do you like it?"
"It's pretty. It's better then Megan."
"That was my second choice." Theresa said. "But it never was a great name anyways."
"I didn't mean that. I was just joking. Megan is a pretty name."
"So we ready to go?" Sandy said, unintentionally interrupting the cold conversation.
"Yup." They replied in unison.
"So Ryan will give me directions to your house."
"Sounds okay." Theresa's mother said.
They all plied into the cars they came in.
Tbc....
A/N... I know I write short chapters but that how I write. A lot of people thought that the baby was going to die and everything will be "happily ever after" and that didn't happen yet but that was my plan about the baby since the beginning. Sorry. Now if I don't get more then 10 reviews no more next chapter. joking. but it would be nice. LOL
Have a nice day of reading fics.
