A/N: Underline flashback
"JUDE,
Jude... Jude Wake Up" I shook her. I grabbed the phone and
dialed 9-1-1.
"Hello" a voice on the other line said.
"My fiancé passed out she won't wake up" I said
frantically.
"OK sir is she breathing" the woman asked.
"Yes" I responded a little calmer.
"OK we'll
send an ambulance"
(A/N: I've never had to call an
ambulance before so I really don't know how this conversation would
go so I'm just guessing.)
A few minutes later an ambulance
cam and they put her on a stretcher. They slid her into the ambulance
and were about to shut the door when I spoke up.
"Can I
come."
The EMT nodded and I jumped in. They shut the door and
gave Jude oxygen. They checked her vitals. Everything was good. When
we got to the hospital they took her into a room and told me to wait
in the waiting room for a while.
I sat in the waiting room for
fifteen minutes before someone came.
"Mr. Quincy" the
doctor said.
"Yes" I stood up.
"Hi I'm Dr.
Highdell" he said "Ms. Harrison has agreed to have her
first round of chemo today you can sit with her if you'd
like."
"Thank you" I ran to her room.
Jude was
looking at her now bare finger.
"Give it back" she
demanded.
"What i thought you didn't want it" I said
clueless.
"I changed my mind I'm allowed now give it back you
have plenty of money we both have good jobs now give it back"
Jude said.
I slipped the ring back on her finger.
"Good Tommy" she patted me on the head.
2 days later
I woke up the to the sounds of Jude crying. She
seemed so sad all the time now. Her doctors think it should be cured
in about a month since they caught so early.
"Jude are you
ok" I asked but instantly realized what a stupid question that
was "I mean obviously you're not ok otherwise you wouldn't be
crying but they said you'll be fine soon."
"That's
not why I'm crying" Jude said in between sobs.
"Please
tell me what's wrong you've been mopey since you're first round of
chemo" I said.
"I had to sign some papers before I
started" Jude said.
"But I thought Jamie signed for you"
I said confused.
"No I signed a paper because I didn't want
you to know about it" Jude said.
"Ms. Harrison"
the doctor said.
"Yes" I said.
"I need you to
sign some papers" he said.
"Oh you can have Jamie sign
for me" I said. "
" I think you should read over
them first" he said. I nodded and took the papers. I started
reading the first page but something shocked me.
"It says
something about the baby dying what baby" I asked
"What
oh I thought you knew I assumed that's why you didn't want
chemotherapy in the first place" the doctor said.
"What
are you talking about" I said cluelessly.
"You're
pregnant Ms. Harrison and if you start chemotherapy the baby will
die" the doctor said. What do I do. Either live and kill
you're baby or die and let you're baby live. Not helping. Sorry
but you know what you have to do you're 18 if you weren't sick you
probably would have had an abortion anyways so you might as well save
yourself. You're right well not totally if I wasn't sick I
wouldn't have an abortion I might put it up for adoption though. I
signed the paper and started to cry
"Jude
you're not making any sense what happened" Tommy asked.
"I
was pregnant" I whispered.
"What" Tommy said just
as quietly?
"I was pregnant but when I started chemo the baby
died" I said.
"How far along were you" Tommy
asked.
"A month" I said softly.
I can't believe she was pregnant. Why you know you didn't use a condom that time. Why didn't she tell me sooner? Who knows she's complicated.
"Jude it's OK don't cry" I
tried comforting her.
"It's not OK Tommy I didn't even tell
you I killed our child and never even told you" Jude cried.
"Hey
shh it's OK you did what you had to do" I said.
