Chapter 5 – The Phone Call and The Accident

(EPOV)

The phone starts ringing at Pilar's and Pilar ask "Ethan, can you get that please?" I looked over at Pilar and I answered the phone "Hi this is the Lopez-Fitzgerald house". After I first answered the phone I heard a loud gasp and then what sounded like the phone dropping and then I heard Theresa's soft voice saying "Hello, Ethan". As soon as she spoke those two words I gasped and everyone turned to look at me. I knew my face had gone white and one of my hands was grabbing the desk where the phone cradle is and the other one is gripping the phone as I breathed "Theresa, Theresa is that really you"? I heard everyone behind me move at once and gasp and the next thing I knew Sam was standing behind me to make sure I did not fall.

I heard Theresa speak then as she said "Yes, Ethan it's really me. Are you ok and is our son ok? I saw that Mama or someone from the house called numerous times and I wanted to make sure that Little Ethan was alright. Ethan please tell me he is alright and that nothing has happened to him or to anyone else in my family". At this point I leaned over and pressed the speaker phone button so that everyone could hear her. Pilar started crying and saying "Theresa, where are you? You need to come home because there is so much you need to know and so much we all need to talk about". I came to my senses then and blurted "Theresa why did you not tell me you were pregnant with my baby? Why did you leave instead of telling me that you were pregnant? God, Theresa I love you. How could you just leave me"? I started crying then and my mom and Sam hugged me and all of a sudden I heard Theresa cry out "Oh God no I can't be bleeding" and my heart stopped as I took that in and then I frantically said "Theresa, baby tell me where you are so that I can come get you. Please baby I want and need you in my life and I love you. I want both you and our baby to be okay. Please let me come be with you and to get you". I heard Theresa crying and then I heard her on the other phone calling for an ambulance and my heart stopped again but I could not hear where she was at and then she came back on the line and said "Ethan, Mama, Little Ethan and the rest of you I love you please never forget that but I need to go". I then heard her disconnect the phone call and I started to break down.

I can't believe that Ethan knew I was pregnant. How could Ethan or even anyone in my family know that I'm pregnant? I looked down as I was talking to Ethan and saw blood. I cried out "Oh God no I can't be bleeding" and I heard Ethan say to me "Theresa, baby tell me where you are so that I can come get you. Please baby I want and need you in my life and I love you. I want both you and our baby to be okay. Please let me come be with you and to get you". I couldn't believe after everything I said to him last night and in the letter I wrote him that he still wants me. I started crying and then thought I need to call an ambulance to come get me so I could get checked over. I made sure that my cell phone was far enough away so that Ethan wouldn't hear me and I told them where I was at and then hung up with them. I picked my cell phone back up and said into the phone "Ethan, Mama, Little Ethan, and the rest of you I love you please never forget that but I have to go now. Goodbye" and I hung up the phone.

I couldn't help but wish that Ethan was here with me. I wanted him to be here so much that it hurt. I was waiting on the ambulance to get here and I looked down to see more blood. I started to freak out and decided to drive myself to the hospital. I picked up my car keys and went out to the car. Once the cramp that I had passed I started the car and reversed out of the parking lot and started to drive towards the hospital that I passed when I first got here. As I was driving a sharp pain caught me off guard and the next thing I woke up with my car wrapped around a light pole. I heard people around my car shouting and I heard sirens so I figured out that someone had called 911. I couldn't feel my legs and my right arm felt like it was on fire. The next thing I know is that the paramedics are beside me and asking me questions that I can't really understand and then I hear one of them yelling that they need the jaws of life to get me out and I start to panic. I can hear one of the paramedics saying "She is going into shock, we need to get her out of there stat" and I finally get my voice to whisper "Help me I'm pregnant". The paramedic after hearing those words yelled to his co-worker and a couple of people that were wanting to help "Hurry up this lady is pregnant and we need to get her out of there now!!!! If we don't get her out soon we may lose both her and the baby! Any of you that have first aid training or knowledge get over here and we will tell you what we need you to do". I must have blacked out for a minute because the next thing I know is that there is a lady standing beside the car and holding my neck and she kept repeating "It will be alight honey. You will make it through this and so will your little one. Just keep still and don't move your neck or anything. The paramedics and the fire department who just arrived are working to cut you out". After she said this I could feel the car moving with their movements and the next thing I knew the two paramedics plus a couple firemen were lifting me out of the car and placing me on a backboard. They strapped me down and got me in the ambulance real fast and then they were racing to get me to the hospital.
