Chapter Five
Abruption
Sam and Casey were back together, again. They had grown close due to Casey's pregnancy. Things were going pretty well for the two of them. Casey was now into her fifth month of her pregnancy.
Casey woke up with pains in her stomach. She was only five months pregnant. She couldn't be in labor, that'd be way too soon. She passed it off as being just some cramps.
"Hey Case. You awake?" Sam asked coming down the basement stairs.
"Yeah." Casey replied attempting to hoist herself off the bed.
"Hey you ok?" Sam asked hurrying over to a pregnant Casey.
"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry about it, I'm sure they're just cramps." Casey said clutching her stomach.
"Are you sure? Maybe you should stay home…I don't want anything happening to you three." Sam said caringly helping Casey sit back down on the bed.
"No, it's fine." Casey said reassuringly. Sam nodded wondering if Casey was going to be ok.
At school Casey was still having pains in her stomach. She ignored them still. In the middle of science class, things started to get bad. Derek happened to sit next to Casey in that class, they were working on a lab together. He was staring at her, wondering why she was clutching her stomach and wincing.
"Hey Case, you ok?" Derek asked quietly so the students near them wouldn't hear.
"I don't know, my stomach has been killing me since the morning." Casey replied.
"Maybe we should go to the hospital. I'll go get Sam. Tell the teacher you have a headache or something and we'll sneak out of school." Derek said quickly.
Casey nodded. Derek went off to find Sam. He stopped in front of the English classroom to get him.
Sam slipped out of the class, he wouldn't get caught, the teacher had gone to photo copy something.
"Is everything ok? Is it Casey?" Sam asked worriedly.
"Yeah, Casey said her stomach has been hurting since this morning, we need to get her to the doctor's." Derek replied.
"I knew something was wrong." Sam said putting his hand to his head.
"We need to go get Casey; she's out by your car." Derek said. Sam nodded.
The three of them arrived in the emergency room and signed Casey in. Casey sat there clutching her stomach.
"What if something's wrong?" Casey asked nervously.
"It's my fault then, I should've made you stay home." Sam said upset.
"No, don't worry about it, we'll know soon." Casey said squeezing Sam's hand. Sam placed his hands on her stomach. "Kayleigh, Braden, stay strong." He said kissing Casey on the cheek. Casey just smiled.
"Casey McDonald?" A female doctor said entering the waiting room.
"Yeah that's me." Casey said getting up with Sam and Derek's help.
"Follow me this way." She replied.
Casey went into a room with Derek and Sam. About ten minutes later the nurse took the three of them down into an ultrasound room.
"So what happened?" The nurse questioned.
"I don't know, my stomach just started to hurt this morning." Casey said worriedly.
Sam and Derek squeezed her hand.
The nurse pulled up Casey's shirt to reveal her big stomach. She rolled the thing around.
A worried look came upon her face.
"What's wrong?" Casey asked noting the nurse's expression.
"Is everything ok?" Sam asked getting very worried.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Derek said.
"It seems as though your placenta has ruptured." She replied.
"Oh my god." Casey said starting to cry.
"It'll be ok Casey." Sam said not really knowing if that was true.
"What's going to happen and what really is placenta abruption?" Derek asked.
"Yeah, I've read about it, but I don't really know that much." Sam said responding to Derek's comment.
"The placenta has separated from Casey's uterus, which can cause serious complications for both Casey and the babies." The nurse replied.
"Why did this happen?" Casey asked upset.
"It's common for women who are having twins to experience this." She explained.
"Well, what's going to happen?" Sam asked concerned.
"Casey will need to put on an IV. You and the babies will be on constant watch in the maternity ward. If things get serious, you'll have to have the baby soon." She stated.
"But it's too early!" Casey cried out.
"Shh Casey, it'll be ok." Sam said rubbing Casey's arm. Derek rubbed her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
AN: I need ideas on what should happen? Kill of the babies, Casey?! Idk, I don't want to make it depressing! Please review and give me ideas, thanks to everyone who has so far!
