CHAPTER TWO
LANDONS POV
"It seems as Jamie is pregnant", Dr. Ford proclaimed. I was confused.
"What?" Jamie just sat there. Dr.Ford went on, "Jamie is in no great condition to have a baby. If you both decide to have the baby,
Jamie has a very good chance of dieing in childbirth."
I cupped my hands into my head and leaned down. "How much of a chance", I asked.
"Jamie has a 75 percent chance of dieing. I have done the math Mr. Carter" I looked at Jamie. She looked at me. "Are you sure
doctor?", I asked.
Dr.Ford nodded. "Because Jamie is in remission she has a good chance of carrying the baby to full length. Jamie is still very weak
though because of the disease. So the conclusion is that childbirth will either kill her or make her even weaker. The loss of blood from
childbirth will cause Jamie's system to shut down."
Jamie stood up. "You can stop acting like I can't hear you. God has given this baby to me and I intend to keep the it." I looked at
Jamie and saw tears in her eyes. She continued, "If the Lord wishes the last thing I do on this earth is to give birth to a wonderful baby,
then so be it."
I looked at her. I loved her so much and since we'd found out she was in remission life was calm. No problems or arguments. Now it
seemed as everything was going haywire. I couldn't lose her.
"Jamie, I don't want you to have this baby", I said.
She smiled. "Oh Landon you don't understand" I got angry and got to the door.
"Jamie I'm so sick of you always doing the right thing. It's crap. I love you and you're not going to leave me." I paused and saw pain
in her eyes. "You don't understand", I said, "When you got into remission it was saying to us everything is going to be alright. Now
this happens and you're willing to give up our life for childbirth?"
She shook her head, she was crying. "Not for childbirth Landon, for our child, a human being." I grabbed the door handle and turned
it. "Landon, wait, hear me out" I stopped and looked at her. "Landon, this is a wonderful gift that has been given to us. Can't you
see?"
Trying not to show my tears I opened the door. "No, this isn't a gift. This is a death sentence" I slammed the door and walked out of
the doctor's office. I was so angry . Why would this sort of thing happen to the person who deserved it the least? I sat on the sidewalk
wondering, when I heard footsteps behind me. "Landon, you have to be happy about us having a baby. Aren't you?" I laughed. "I'd
thought about us having kids but I knew that wasn't possible. I was content on having just you." She kissed me.I could tell she was
scared. Scared of what could happen and scared for the baby. I hugged her and kept her tight. "I'm going to keep you for as long as I
can", I said. She looked at me and said , "I hope you do"
