Chapter 31
"Tegan... I have something to tell you" said Lindsey looking serious. The smile slowly disappeared from Tegan's face. "No, no... It's good news sweetie!" said Lindsey smiling. "Oh..." is all that Tegan could utter. "You're never gonna guess it so let me just tell you..." said Lindsey nervously and put her hand on Tegan's cheek. "You're gonna be a mommy Tee... I'm pregnant". As Tegan heard the words she's been longing to hear for so long she started to feel dizzy. The rush of adrenaline caused her heart to speed up significantly. Lindsey looked up at the heart monitor in a panic. "Hey relax baby, just breath for me... Take it easy Tee" Kate came rushing into the room "Well, I'm guessing you told her" she whispered at Lindsey. Lindsey nodded and continue to stroke Tegan's cheek. "Nice deep breaths Tee" said Kate holding the oxygen mask over her face again. She started fiddling with an IV. Tegan's heart rate slowly went down to a high but normal rate. Kate pulled her stethoscope from her neck and listened to Tegan's heart and lungs."There we go... Easy does it... I'll give you guys a minute" said Kate leaving the room.
"Did... Did you say?... I dunno... These drugs... make me.." mumbled Tegan looking confused. "It's not the drugs Tee, you heard right, we're having a baby... I went to see Dr Montgomery while you were... sleeping... I'm 7 weeks pregnant" smiled Lindsey and squeezed Tegan's hand. Tegan felt warm tears rolling over her cheeks. All her pain was suddenly replaced with the most joy she's ever felt. "Oh my god... Are you... okay? Is everything okay?" asked Tegan through her tears of joy. "Well, I'm puking my lungs out every morning but I'm fine. I'm seeing the doc again tomorrow for a checkup" said Lindsey. "Ahhh baby... I'm going with you" said Tegan as forcefully as she could. "Sweetie, I don't think they're going to allow you out of CCU but..." Lindsey got cut off by Tegan "I'm going with you". Lindsey looked up at at Tegan's heart monitor that was going ballistic again. "Okay...shhhh... Relax Tegan... Calm down... I'll try and make it happen... Shhh... Just breathe" Tegan's monitor was still beeping very fast. "Hey, give me your hand" said Lindsey. She pulled up her shirt and took Tegan's hand. She slid it down under her loose pants, onto her belly. "Meet our baby Tegan". Tegan felt her heart rate slow down as she felt Lindsey's soft skin under her hand. "This... This is... The best day of my life" she panted. "Mine too my angel" said Lindsey and kissed Tegan's forehead multiple times. She took Tegan's face in both her hands "I love you mommy Tee" she whispered looking into Tegan's eyes. "I... am so... in love with you Linds... I never want to... be without you" said Tegan out of breath. "I love you... Marry me Lindsey..."
