Morning After Ch20: Names
Wendy opened her eyes; she was hooked up to oxygen and had a fetal monitor on her stomach. She looked over at Nick he sat in the chair resting his head on the side of her bed holding her hand. She ran her fingers threw his hair.
He sat back holding his hand on his chin, he looked angry and worried.
"What's wrong?" she asked he pulled his hand away and started to walk away Wendy sat up "Nick!" Nick just walked out nearly tackling Mandy over.
Lauren followed Nick.
"Nicky!" she called he ignored her "poncho!" he stopped turning to see her he looked like her was "what is wrong?"
"I'm not..." he said but when he went to speak but he was too angry "here!" he handed her Wendy's phone. She looked at the phone as her angry brother stormed off.
Nick walked back into the room that his confused fiancée was in with Mandy.
"Do you hate me?" he asked, Wendy sat up confused as Mandy sneaked out.
"No Nick of course not... I love you"
"Then why?"
"Why what?"
"Hodges!"
"What about him?" Wendy said slightly ashamed Nick flew into a rage.
"You've been texting him! I saw it in your phone love always Hodges... When will I see you again...? He's been texting you"
"Why did you go through my phone?"
"I was looking for the number of your OBGYN!" Nick had just gotten a new phone and lost some numbers including that one. "You've played me for a fool? Why did you talk to him?"
"He's not the same guy Nick" Wendy said Nick waved her off not believing.
"He's just saying that!"
"No I've seen him, He's better now"
"You've seen him? He's made our life hell!"
"He's left us alone for weeks"
"So he has a few good weeks and you accept him back open arms! I'm your fiancée! You're supposed to tell me these kinds of things! He's tried to kill me!" Nick yelled, Wendy rolled away as tears filled her eyes.
"Why are doing this I'm in the hospital with your child?"
"Don't you think I know that? You scared me half to death! I go to call your doctor and I find your little messages!"
"I'm sorry! Ok? I was confused! I never thought in a million years that I would be pregnant because of a one-night stand and engaged to you. Nick Stokes the infamous ladies man!"
"I have been faithful the whole time"
"Have you?"
"Yes! If you have doubt why did you even agree to marry me? I can't do this right now!"
"You never talk to me about anything so don't get like this because I don't tell you every second of my life"
"Are you for real? I wanted to make sure you were safe!" Nick yelled he turned around and was met by security and Wendy's doctor.
"Sir please come with us" the head of security said to him.
"Why?" Nick asked still mad. The security officer was at least double the size of Nick.
"Sir please..." the man said grabbing Nick practically dragging him out of room.
"How are you feeling, Ms. Simms?" the doctor asked, Wendy shrugged her shoulders trying desperately not to cry.
"I'm fine what happened?"
"You were going into labor but we were able to stop it however... I am worried because you have a complication that is why you felt ill today. The placenta is blocking the birth canal your body is trying to fix it that's why you felt sick today"
"Oh... Is the baby going to be alright?"
"Yea if you rest"
"Ok thank you doctor" Wendy sat back resting her head as Mandy came back in.
"Are you alright?"
"No..." Wendy said crying into Mandy's arms.
A few hours later... Nick was outside the hospital sitting on the sidewalk he couldn't believe this. Catherine almost walked right by him, she was surprise to say the least Nick was a wreck you could tell he had been crying.
"Nick..." he didn't answer "why are you out here?"
"Security threw me out..."
"Why? Where's Wendy?"
"Inside still... They found a complication in the pregnancy and when I went to find the doctor's phone number and I found out she's still been talking to
Hodges behind my back"
"Oh..."
"I was trying not to let it bother me but I couldn't after everything that bastard has done, how can she still talk to him..."
"So what is going to happen now?"
"I don't know... She thinks I have cheated and I don't think she really loves me... I've been played..." Nick chuckled but a few tears escaped "I guess this is what I get"
"That's not true, Nicky"
"Isn't it? After all I've done my love them and leave them ways, I fall in love with the person who doesn't want me..."
"Nick, I bet she's just confused..."
"She is she wants to know how a one night stand turned into a life time commitment... We are having a kid and now she has complications... And I don't know what to do"
"You need to talk to her"
"I tried! How the hell you think I got out here?" Catherine gave him her look Nick stood up.
Nick walked back to Wendy's room. She was asleep, her hand resting on her stomach when Nick saw her he felt his heart break.
This morning they were talking about how there life would be with a child. They talked about names, schools, even colleges and how to raise it.
Nick brushed the hair out of her face; he really had his rattle shaken but Wendy and the baby were both alright. He rubs Wendy's hand. She sucks in a deep breath and opens her eyes hissing in pain.
"You came back" she said readjusting trying to get comfortable.
"I'm not leaving" he said kissing her forehead. She started taking deep breaths, rubbing her stomach. "Are you alright?"
"Oh... Oh!" Nick said shocked the nurse came in evaluating Wendy. "She's only a little past eight months it's too early"
"Sir I know but this baby is coming now" the nurse said "I'm going to get the doctor" the nurse left as Wendy squeezed Nick's hand going through his pockets.
"What are you doing?" he asked as she took his phone, she texted Mandy.
"About earlier..." she said putting his phone back in his pocket, she grimaced as a contraction came. "I'm really sorry... I didn't realize what he had done... For now on it's just me and you"
"I'm sorry for bringing it up here of all places..." she took him into a deep kiss.
The doctor came in and cleared his throat, Wendy groaned loudly grabbing Nick's shirt collar.
12 long hours later... Nick walked out to the waiting room where the team, his sister, and Wendy's family was. Wendy's loud groans and screeches filled the hallway; her el natural birth plan was a little too much for her.
"How is she Nicky?" Catherine said, padding him on the arm. Nick smiled at her he was very tired and worried now the baby was going to be premature. He looked at the table there were two cups one labeled BOY the other GIRL, there was money in each cup.
"You can hear her" Nick exclaimed, the screams were quieter. "Placing bets on my future child?"
"Well yea, it's been hours Nicky we have to stay busy somehow"
"Little guy doesn't want to come out"
"Guy? So it is a boy"
"I don't know Cath, Wendy says girl I say boy" he chuckled. Wendy groaned loudly again. "The baby is really tearing her up"
"She's a screamer" Catherine said.
"You should have heard these lovebirds on the night of conception" Jenny said sneaking up on the pair "the only difference between then and now is she's not screaming his name.
"Nick!" Wendy screeched
"As if on cue" Jenny said, Nick blushed returning back to Wendy.
30 hours into labor, Nick and Wendy welcomed a beautiful baby to the world. Nick walked out to the waiting room many people had gone home but came back.
The baby was a premature and would have to sent the next few days in the hospital but Nick and Wendy were now officially parents.
"So Nicky?" Catherine asked very anxious, the whole room was at a standstill. Nick's face was red, as if in a blush he smiled wider than anyone has ever seem. "Nicky?"
"It's a girl!" he said, Catherine hugged him as did the rest of his team.
"What did you name her?" Sara asked, hugging her friend.
"Julia Ann Stokes" Nick said tearing up a bit; it was truly a heartfelt moment. Nick would just hope now that his baby girl would stay healthy, his fiancée and himself. He's finally got his family but keeping it together would be the hard part.
