Chapter 3

"Is that what you wanted to tell me Babe?" JR asked.

"Yes it is." Babe said. "Jamie could we have some privacy?"

"Well I'd like to stay." Jamie said taking a seat.

"Well I'd like you to get out before I throw you out." JR said taking a step forward towards him.

"Fine. I'll be back later." Jamie said walking out the door.

"Ok now that we have some privacy…"Babe said but was interrupted.

"Babe how is the baby?" JR asked as he sat on one side of the bed with one hand on her hand and the other on her stomach.

"I don't know JR. I really don't." Babe said as she wiped away a tear from his eye with her free hand with a few tears in her eyes as well.

"Do you know what was wrong?" JR asked.

"No, I might have been spotting. Sometimes spotting is normal and sometimes its just not." Babe said.

"Well I will make sure that you and our baby get the best care." JR said getting up to go to the door to get a hold of Maria.

"Wait." Babe said sitting up grabbing his arm so he wouldn't go. "Ouch." She said holding her stomach again.

"Babe, you cant make a fast move like that. It's not good for the baby or you." JR said sitting back down.

He gave her a kiss. She put her hands around his neck so he wouldn't back away. He took her hands off his neck.

"I have to go." JR said.

"No don't." Babe said trying to get another kiss. But he backed away.

"I'm going to get Little Adam." He said.

"Could you call Winifred to bring him or Adam or mama?" Babe asked holding his hand. "I don't want you to go."

"Alright, just let me go make a phone call." He kissed her again and went down to the lobby to make the phone call.

"So I guess that you got what's coming to you. Your having a Chandler Baby. Good luck with that." Amanda said walking into the room keeping the button that calls the nurse away from her.

"You don't know what your talking about. You are just jealous that I am having my second child, and you are just a poor little skank that only gets a guy with that mini skirt." Babe said.

"I told you I would be back to get my revenge. And that is exactly what I am here for. I said I would hurt you. But I think it is more exciting to get to this new little baby or better yet Little A." Amanda said with an evil smile on her face.

"You lay a finger on my son you will be sorry." Babe said.

"What are you going to do?" Amanda said.

"JR!" Babe screamed.

"Are you're going to tell on me?" Amanda said.

"That's right. JR! Nurse! Somebody help! Save my baby!" Babe screamed louder.

"What the hell is going on here?" JR asked walking in the room.

"Oh JR thank gosh you're here. Babe said rushing up to stand up to Amanda. "Ow." Babe said as she held her stomach.

"You've been warned." Amanda said grabbing her purse going for the door.

"Where do you think your going?" JR said grabbing her arm.

"To my car." Amanda said.

"No your not." JR said.

"Why not."

"Well when my um my… Babe screams my name and you happen to be here. I kind of get a bad feeling."

"Anyone ever told you the story of the boy who cried wolf?"

"Just get out Amanda, and if you touch Babe again. I'll go after you."

"Yeah I'd like to see you try." Amanda said walking out the door.

"O JR." Babe said hugging JR starting to cry on his shoulder. "She said she was going to harm Little A and this new baby. You can't letter her JR you cant."

"I won't Babe don't worry." JR said kissing her head.

Babe looked up and JR put his forehead on hers and closed his eyes.

"Ok I better lie down." Babe said letting go.

"I have some news. Babe you know that you are supposed to be resting." Maria said as she walked in with her clip board.

"I was just about to lie down." Babe said getting on the bed. "Is the baby ok?"

"Well you have experienced some spotting. Sometimes spotting is perfectly normal and sometimes its just well not. I am sure you have heard of Mrs. Lavery's problem. She had spotting and it was very painful just like yours. Hers resulted in a miscarriage. That doesn't mean yours will. I have to do a little more research based on family history and that sort of thing. Part of the tests include a sonogram. Would you like to come have that taken now?" Maria asked.

"Absolutely, does this mean we will find out the sex of the baby?" Babe asked.

"I am afraid you are to early in the game for that. You will find out if you have a baby or babies." Maria explained. "JR would you like to come here your baby's heart beat and see your baby for the first time. You don't have to if you don't want to. I am not sure what your relationship is right now."

"Umm I'll come and see my baby." JR said smiling.

Maria took Babe in the wheel chair and JR followed. As they walked they saw Amanda and Jamie talking drinking coffee. Amanda gave them an evil glare and JR gave her a warning glare.

'Beep, beep.'

"O I'm sorry, I have another patient to serve. Dr. James Martin will take it from here." Maria said looking at her beeper.

"Uh isn't Dr. Joe Martin or Dr. Madden available?" JR asked.

"I'm sorry they are all busy with other patients. We are the busiest in the fall with all the deer." Maria said. "O Dr. Martin good you're here I need you to take these two to room 101 for a sonogram."

"Will do." Jamie said as Maria left. He went to take over the wheel chair and push but JR stopped him and pushed it. "JR this is me in business what do you think I'm going to pull?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm not going to stick around and find out." JR said.

"Can we please just take a picture of our baby and ignore this little drama. We have enough of that in Pine Valley." Babe said.

"Sorry." JR and Jamie said at the same time.

They reached room 101 and Babe lay on the bed. Jamie put on the necessary cream on her belly and started moving the object around until a picture came up on the scream.

"Ok so here is the womb and right here is your baby." Jamie said pointing to the peanut shaped object on the screen.

"O my god." Babe said as tears came to her eyes with a smile on her face.

"I know." JR said with the same smile on his face. He put his hand on her shoulder and she put her hand on his. She looked up and they just smiled and couldn't stop. He bent down and kissed her hard but still soft so it wasn't inappropriate for a hospital. Especially with Jamie right there looking at the whole thing. Just having to stare at his brother kissing his ex fiancé. Then he thought about how JR must had felt when he had kissed Babe in front of JR or knowing that he slept with Babe when Babe and JR were married. He tried to make it stop he didn't want to look at this.

"Ok now that we have taken care of this lets take Babe back to her room." Jamie said turning off the screen. "O that reminds visiting hours are over, you can come back tomorrow afternoon."

"What? For your information Jamie I read the visiting hours chart and it doesn't end for hours." JR explained holding onto Babes hand the whole time.

"Well that was for different conditions." Jamie said.

"Well if Babe only has spotting and her baby is fine then the hours would be longer. In fact Babe should even go home." JR said as his voice rose.

"I don't make the rules JR." Jamie said.

"I think you do. I think you still have a thing for Babe. So you figure that if you keep me away from her and if you spend more time with her maybe she would fall back in love with you." JR said with his voice even louder. " Maybe you would even terminate the baby so there is no reason for me to see her except for Little A."

"I would never hurt Babe like that."

"O so you do love her then."

"That's a bunch of bull and you know it."

"I do but I don't think you do."

Jamie just stayed quiet for a few minutes.

"Exactly." JR said as he pushed Babes wheel chair to there room.
