This chapter is dedicated to Tori Vega Fan Forever for their weird, random answer for the dumb question.
Crazy Ride
Chapter 12
Andre groaned as he stretched on the somewhat comfortable couch that wasn't big enough to fit his 6'1'' figure. He sat up slowly and looked over to his unconscious girlfriend, who gave him a biggest scare of his life that almost made him have a heart attack. He stood from the couch, taking the thin blanket off and went to the restroom that was in the room. He looked in the mirror and noticed he had a mess of tears stains on his cheeks and his eyeballs were red. He had a terrible time sleeping last night and when he did sleep, it was full of nightmares of his precious Cat dying.
It was the worst night of his life.
Yesterday was the most horrifying Thanksgiving holiday he'd ever experienced.
The doctor said that Cat almost had a miscarriage. Lack of sleep and straining her body with doing too much for over 36 hours put a toll on her petite, pregnant body. Andre had no idea that Tori and Cat pulled an all-nighter the night before to prepare everything for the Thanksgiving. He has yet to face Tori, since he was afraid if he saw her, he'd say some things he would regret later. How dare Tori make Cat stay up for over 36 hours? How dare she! She knew perfectly well that Cat was already fragile with her pregnancy!
Andre knew that he'd never forgive Tori for this.
Never.
Because of her, he almost lost his unborn son and possibly the love of his life.
After he was done with his business and washed his face, he came out of the bathroom and noticed Cat was awake and watching TV from the big screen on the wall. She looked so pale and weak, her hands limply on her stomach. When she saw Andre, she gave him a small smile and stretched out her hand for Andre to take.
Andre walked up to her and took her cold hand. He put his free hand on her head and ran his fingers through her hair. "How's my favorite girl?" He asked her softly, hiding his anger about her naïve decision to stay on her feet for so long, even if she was in major pain. For now, he was so relieved she was even alive.
Cat sighed. "I'm better than I was yesterday. That dreadful pain…oh, Andre, I'm sorry that I ruined our Thanksgiving brunch, but I just couldn't take any more of it."
Andre shook his head. "You didn't ruin anything. You gave everyone a scare though."
Cat looked up at him with a loving stare. "Andre, were you crying yesterday?" She asked, since she wasn't in the right state of mind during Andre's scariest moment of his life. She couldn't exactly remember if he was panicking or not.
Andre nodded almost immediately. "Yes. I'm not going to lie to you or act macho here. My God, you had me in tears. When you went unconscious in the ambulance, I couldn't breathe. The paramedic said that they may have lost your pulse…and…" He gave her hand a squeeze. "Thank you for not leaving me." He whispered. "I wouldn't survive without you."
"I'll never leave you." Cat smiled. "I'm going to stay by your side forever. We're going to raise our son together."
Andre rubbed his lips together. "If you're wondering, the baby-"
"-is fine and healthy, I know." Cat giggled lightly. "The doctor came in earlier while you were asleep."
Andre looked surprised. "You were up before? Oh…I thought you were still unconscious from yesterday."
Cat shook her head and then stopped to look at him again. "I love you so much, Andre."
Andre leaned down and kissed her lips passionately. When he was done, he kissed the top of the nose, her forehead, her cheek, her jaw line, neck, and color bone. "I love you, Cat." He said with so much emotion. He moved away from her and she sighed. She looked back at the TV as Andre moved a cushioned recliner next to her bed so he could keep holding her hand. He was comfortable again and kissed her hand. He saw it was "Ghost Adventures" on. He rolled his eyes. "You really like this show, don't you?"
Cat shrugged. "It's suspenseful and no offense, but those three ghost hunters are majorly hot…especially Zak."
Andre didn't mind. "As long as you're not friends with them, I'm good to go." And Cat laughed weakly.
After another hour, there was a knock on the closed door. A woman in a nurse outfit came in and smiled sweetly to Cat. "Hello, darling." She had two trays in her hands and set them on the nearest table that had wheels on the bottom. "How's our mommy-to-be this morning?"
"Feeling so much better than yesterday." Cat said as the nurse brought over the table over Cat after she moved the bed up so Cat was sitting up. "Oh, food. Yay. My son really likes eating." The nurse and Andre chuckled as the nurse took the top of one of the covered tray off and Cat saw chicken soup, crackers, a banana, strawberry jello, and an orange juice. "That actually looks good."
The nurse made sure Cat was comfortable and able to eat carefully before taking the cover of the second tray she had brought in. She took it to Andre, who smiled in thanks. He had the same thing Cat did. "We thought the caring, protective boyfriend needed to eat too, since he refused anything editable yesterday."
Cat smiled. "Aw, that's so kind of you!"
The nurse looked to Cat and patted her hand. "Well, you are a sweet young lady. You deserve everything." She smiled towards Andre. "I'm sure he gives you the world."
Cat nodded. "He does, trust me."
The nurse smiled again to Cat. "My name is Jane. I'll be around to check on you. Right now, you're my cutest and favorite patient."
Cat giggled and blushed. "Thank you for all your help, Jane." And with that, Jane left. Cat sighed and took a spoon to eat her soup. "This looks delicious."
Andre nodded, already eating. He was starving. He didn't eat a bite at the dinner table at Tori's the day before and refused to eat until Cat was awake all day yesterday. "Anything is wonderful right now, Cat." And Cat laughed.
Once they were done eating, Jane came back in, checking Cat's vitals and took the empty trays. After a few minutes, they heard the door slam open. Cat sighed. "Well, Jade's here." And Andre nodded. Jade stomped in, her face red with anger. "Hello." Cat said in a sleepy manner.
Andre looked to the pissed off best friend. "The nurse just gave her a medicine that makes her drowsy."
Jade softened a little and threw her purse on the nearest table. "Cat, do you realize how much you scared the hell out of me?" She said as she walked up to the other side of Cat and took her hand. "I thought I had a heart attack."
Cat smiled. "I heard." She looked to the door. "Hi, guys."
Beck came up to the end of Cat's bed. "Hey, girl."
Robbie and Rex came up too. "Mmmhmmm, even in a hospital gown and bed, you still are lookin' fineeeeee." Cat giggled.
Tori came up next to Jade. "Cat, I am so sorry."
Andre forced himself not to snort, not wanting to upset Cat, but he was NOT happy with Tori Vega.
Cat shook her head. "Tori, it's not your fault. I willingly stayed up with you to help. I just didn't want you to take care of everything all alone. You're one of my best friends. I'll always be there." Cat yawned. "Oh dear…"
"Go to sleep, Cat." Beck told her, patting her foot. "We'll be here when you wake up. We don't plan on leaving. Andre is though."
Cat gasped as Andre looked shocked at Beck's statement. Cat looked to Andre as she had tears. "Why are you leaving me? You said you'd never leave me! Why are you going to abandon me?"
The word "abandoned" sent Andre into a broken stage. He shook his head and stood to his feet. "Calm down, Cat, please. I'm not leaving. I have no idea what the hell Beck's talking about." He shot a glare to his friend. "I'm sorry he upset you. I'm not going anywhere." He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Sleep, babygirl. Just sleep. We are all here and nothing's going to happen to you."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Cat sighed in relief. She didn't want to be away from Andre, just in case something happened again. "Okay." And as she closed her eyes, she almost immediately fell asleep.
Andre sighed as he looked to Beck. "What the bloody hell was that all about?"
Beck sighed. "Andre, go home for a little bit. I know those pain medications knock people out for hours. Go home, take a shower, and change your clothes."
Jade nodded. "Please do. I hate your stench."
Andre looked down at himself. He was still in his dressy clothes from yesterday's brunch. He sighed and nodded. "Alright." He leaned down and kissed Cat's cheek lightly. "I'll be back, babygirl." He moved down and kissed her pregnant stomach. "Be easy with mommy, son. She loves you so much and she can't take anymore scares." He stood up straight and went to walk out, but then stopped in his tracks. "Uh…can someone give me a ride?"
Beck chuckled. "I'll go."
"Or I can take him?" Tori stepped up. "I think we need to talk anyways."
Andre shook his head. "No, Tori. I can't talk to you right now. Give me some time and then MAYBE I'll consider sitting down with you and talking about why you let Cat do what she did. Beck can take me. I can't be around you. I don't want to say something I'll regret." Before Tori could protest, Andre left the room, Beck right behind him.

Next "Dumb Question":
If time heals all wounds, how come bellybuttons don't fill in?
Preview for chapter 13:
Jade: Make sure Robbie and Beck grab watermelon, mint ice cream, blueberries, 2 percent chocolate milk, and cinnamon waffles. Cat wants those too.-
Tori sighed and called Robbie back for the second time.
"Now what?" Robbie answered.
"Cat wants a whole lot more things." Tori said.
"Are you serious? Jeez!" Beck whined again. Tori realized she was on speaker. "Does that girl ever stop eating and peeing?"
"She's 6 months pregnant with a baby boy who sits on top of her bladder, with psycho cravings and psycho mood swings!" Tori snapped. "What do you expect? HER TO BE A SAINT?"
