THE DAY JUST WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE
I don't own anything though I wish I did sometimes. All the disclaimers still apply though.
authors note:
I'm sorry for not updating sooner. This past weekend was crazy for me. This chapter will be told from Kims point of view but it will be her finding out what happened.
Chapter 14
There is two things I can feel even before I open my eyes. One: I'm still in pain but it's a lot better than before and two: something is different. I can't put my finger on what is different but all I am sure of is as soon as I open my eyes I will find out. "I think I will wait a little while longer" I say to myself. Right now I can focus all of my attention on getting me better as it was quite scary there for a while. I am not sure I can think of a single person I know who can truly get what it was like for me. Then having Tommy look at me as if I was dying.. well I needed to distract the both of us to happier thoughts so we could do what we neeeded to do when the time came.
Tommy.. I wonder where he is right now as I would be able to sense him if he was in this room with me. All I really remember is that once we escaped he called 911 to get us both help. My world went back after that. I'm really glad he thought to do that because I had no more energy to even think of that step. We would probably still be laying there if he would have passed out before me. I almost chuckle to myself with that thought and probably would have too if I would not have heard someone moving around in my room. As I know I cannot wait no longer I open my eyes.
I see... a nurse? Oh that's right I would still be in the hospital silly, I joke to myself. I didn't have just a scratch on the knee that needed a band-aid.
"Miss Heart? Oh my you're awake.. Let me get the doctor for you." The nurse said as she rushed from the room. Geeze I must look really bad to scare the medical personal away before I even speak. They see crazy stuff all of the time.
What I assume was a few minutes later this man came in the room and introduced himself as my doctor. Dr. Benson.
"Well good morning to you Miss Heart. We are pleased to see you awake."
"Um good morning to you as well doctor." I say
"I had the chance to meet your young man last night, Mr. Tommy Oliver" He watches me watch him with that bit of info. I want to just look at him and say "What do you want a cookie?" I can't imagine that meeting Tommy was that important to him to make him want an applause or whatever he seems to be waiting for.
"I mean no disrespect here doctor but I am sleepy and I'm still in pain. So unless this is some big secret why don't you say what you came to because I am not getting up and giving you some big dance number because you met Tommy." I know I am being a grouch but hospitals do that to me. And anyone who is in the hospital can never claim that it brought out the best in them.
"No, no big dance numbers for you anytime soon. I want you to know that Mr. Oliver was very concerned about you and your health yesterday. I met with him to give him a update on your condition. I do beg your pardon because I almost always wait to talk with the patient first. But that young man is very focused once he has his goal in sight."
"Yes, yes I know this already. What is it about my condition that has you talking about Tommy?" Boy I am losing my patience fast I think.
"I am simply letting you know that what I am about to tell you has already been disclosed to your partner. Now lets get back to you. When you came in you had blood all over you and you were unresposive. You did flatline once but we quickly got you back. By chance we had a nurse in the room that had delt with a situation like yours not long ago so we were able to start the tests for that rather quickly. Kimberly" as soon as he said my first name I felt fear press against me and chill me all over. "We had to treat you for a reptured ectopic pregnancy."
"Oh" I say "Oh" and then I started laughing. I couldn't help it as the doctor looked so serious. It's absurd though to think I was pregnant. Where did this guy get his medical degree from? Watching too many episodes of E.R. I am assuming. As soon as I see the irritation come into his face I stopped. "That's okay" I said while gently patting his hand "Mistakes happen all the time. I won't even tell your supervisor. Just go get your little needles, take some blood, and run the tests again."
"Miss Heart" he tried again. "I am being serious with you. No one is going to come in here and yell April fools or go Boo. You had a reptured ectopic pregnancy and because of that we had to remove one of your fallopian tubes. You also had some internal bleeding which we fixed while treating you for the ectopic pregnancy."
Now after hearing it put like that I had no choice but to believe him. "Pregnant? I was pregnant. I had life inside of me." I said in wonder as I looked down and started stroking my belly.
"Yes Miss Heart. You HAD life inside of you. But that life was not in the right location and put your life at risk. The baby is gone. But there is a small chance that given time, your health, and a successful pregnancy of the correct location, you may be able to have another baby later down the road. I need to go and check on some other patients but I will check on you later." And then the doctor left the room.
All I could think is my baby is gone. My body wasn't strong enough and now my baby is gone. Then I started to cry. I cried until my body couldn't take it anymore and then I passed out.
