"All I'm telling you Mrs. Flack is to take it easy. This stress from work isn't healthy for a pregnant woman. Anything else like this and it could be fatal for the children, and it could be harmful to you as well."
"We understand completely doctor. Right Linds?" Don said.
Lindsay was utterly annoyed that she couldn't work for the next couple of months. "Yes, doctor, and yes Don, I understand. No work, no stress." She said, trying to sound content.
"Please come back in about a month for a check-up just to make sure everything is dandy. Have a good one!"
Lindsay and Don walked out of the hospital to head home. Don hailed a cab, while Lindsay was being unusually quiet. Don looked at her, but he didn't want to get into anything here.
When they got back to their apartment, Don finally was annoyed.
"Why is it so bad to not work?"
"I like working, Don. I like having the satisfaction of knowing I helped society by getting the son of a bitch who raped and shot and killed some guy's wife."
"I think maybe you should want the satisfaction of knowing you gave birth to two healthy babies before you go and book up some guy. Family comes first Lindsay. And in this case, I'm putting my foot down. You won't be working at all, not even from home. Are care about you, I care about us, and I care about our kids. Please Lindsay, I love you babe, I want our family to be healthy."
Lindsay was in tears. She knew she had screwed up. She didn't want anything to happen to her children either. She knew Don was right. Don walked over and took Lindsay into an embrace. They stood there, together as a family.
That night Lindsay couldn't sleep. She couldn't help but think that she wasn't ready to be a parent. She was afraid that she wouldn't know how to love and be with her kids in the tight schedule she had. What am I doing? She thought to herself. How am I going to do this? Then, as if Don had read her mind he said, "You're going to be fine Lindsay. You and I are going to be fine." She smiled and kissed Don on the cheek, finally falling asleep knowing that her husband would always be there to help.
