*I do not own the Outsiders(unfortunatly)*
She heaves herself up because she's coughing so hard. The pain in her chest is so unbearable. The medication that the doctors give her never seems to help.
Her husband runs in the room after hearing her coughs.
"Are you ok, Peg? You need water?"
All she can do is to nod the best she can. He quickly brings a cup of nice cold water to her parched lips. She gulps it down greedily.
When she finishes he puts the cup down and brings a cold cloth to her forehead. She hears him mutter something under his breath. Before she can stop him he stomps to the window and starts to yell.
"You damn kids shut up!" She's sure that he has scared the kids because the sounds of his voice even gave her chills.
She felt a pang of hurt in her heart for those kids. That's all she had ever really wanted in life: A baby. Her baby.
When her and her friends had gotten old enough they immediately got married and started having babies. She had gotten married when they did. But was always too sick to try for a baby. She regretted never even trying.
She looked up at her husband with tears in her eyes. He quickly came to her side and took her hand.
"Peg? Peg, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.
She shook her head.
"Oh, Bert. Do you want to make me happy?"
He squeezed her hand.
"Of course Peg."
She brought a hand to his cheek. "Then give me a baby."
He pulls back clearly shocked at what she just asked him for.
"Peg, you're too sick…"
She suddenly starts crying harder.
"Don't say that! I'm tired of hearing that! I have been told that my whole life Bert! I want a baby! I've always wanted a baby!" She nearly screamed.
He looks at her, begging her with his eyes to please change her mind. But instead she grabs his shirt.
"Please, Bert!" She whispered.
He quickly shut his eyes and kissed her.
This was it. She was back in a hospital. But not for being sick. This time was different.
"Ma'am? " She looks up. A nurse is telling her that she can go back now. This was it. She was fixing to learn the news.
When she gets back in the room she sits in a chair. Bert stands behinds her with his hands on her shoulders.
The doctor walks in. He's looking at his clipboard. When he finishes he looks up and takes his glasses off.
"This isn't going to be easy. With all your medical complications there is a large chance that you will lose it or it will have the same sicknesses you do."
For a minute she feels nothing but guilt. Her selfishness had led to this. She had wanted this so badly that she didn't think of the consequences.
But she quickly pushed those thoughts out of her head. She couldn't think that way. She had to stay positive. God would be with her.
She remembers what he said earlier and suddenly felt true happiness for the first time in a long time.
"So, you mean? I'm?"
"You're pregnant, Mrs. Randle."
