Chapter 18

Shay

Its been a week since my due date passed. My baby wont come out. It worries me. The doctors say its normal and I shouldn't worry but doctors also say I might die along with the baby.

Looking at my now husband who's getting his tie in place I frowned. I looked away. He knows my life is at risk but what he doesn't know is his baby might die as well.

"Ready to go?" Michael asked me looking down at me with a smile. I stood up, admiring my new husband. I still couldn't believe we got married, without those fancy weddings my mother always wanted for me, when I never wanted it. Michael knew that so we decided to go to city hall to be wed. im glad we did too. I groped his tie then started to fix it. "You suck at putting on ties you know?"

He laughed. "Glad I have you then." His words daggered me in the heart, even though they were supposed to make me happy. I smoothed out his tie in a slow fashion. What if I die? What if our baby dies? Michael must of heard my thoughts, since he grabbed my hand, making me look up at him.

"Don't be scared Shay. Im right here, all the way. Your fine." He said before kissing my lips. He smiled down. "We should get going. Our folks will kill us if we missed this."

I gave him a small smile. He kissed my head before heading for the door. I started to fall behind when I felt a sharp pain coming from my belly. I held onto the couch to keep me on my toes. The pain was there for only a minute then it vanished.

"Shay?" I saw Michael looking back with great concern. I stood straight with a smile. I made my way to him.

"Im fine. Lets go see our sisters graduate." I winked as I led him out.

Once settled in the school café I felt another jolt of pain. The pain has been continuous since we left. I held my tummy. Damn this one hurt. I closed my eyes hoping I could just shake it off.

"Hey honey you okay?" My dad asked as he rubbed my back. I nodded at him. I felt hot all of a sudden, it must be the room. I opened my eyes to see a old lady standing. She held the mic to her mouth. "Welcome, parents and siblings to this magnificent event of your fifth graders going up into the world. We hope you enjoy." She smiled as she walked off the stage. Another lady came out, holding a piece of paper in one hand and a mic in the other. There were other adults there. One man stood out from the rest.

I nudged Michael. "Isnt that man Saki's teacher?" I asked pointing at the guy who was talking to a young woman, who stood next to him.

Michael made a face, a face of disgust. "Yeah that's the guy."

"My what a crowed." The lady smiled at us. "My name is Mrs. Ross, I am the vice principle and you guys have already met Mrs. Turner our principle. I an these other teachers are here to support and congratulate the graduates of our 5th graders. Here we have Mrs. Fossil, Mr. Dean, Ms. Grande, and Mr. Copal. We will now be calling the names of students."

The lady began with the A's. The kids filed out, shaking the teachers hands then off the stage. It went on like this for a while. When she got to the C's my pain increased. I laid my elbows on my thighs before holding my head in my hands. I felt a hand on my back. "You okay sweetie?" Michael asked. I nodded. I have to keep it together. The pain is just probably another pregnancy thing. I sat back in my chair just in time to see my twin sisters walk the stage. We all clapped for them as they shook the teachers hand. Saki was a bit hesitant on shaking Mr. Copal's hand but did so. She then joined her sister as they walked the stage. A pain filling hour later and we were finally done. The twins ran up to us with big smile. "Did you see us!" Mitzuki asked her parents and brother. "It was so cool!"

"Just think it'd be more exciting once you graduate high school." Shane said. Claire nodded while her daughter jumped up and down like a hyper energized bunny.

Saki although smiled, stayed quiet, totally opposite to her sister. Saki stared up at Michael then at me, she frowned at me. "Hey. Shay." She greeted.

I smiled. "Hi. Congratulations." I said. For some reason with the room being almost empty I still felt hot. Hot enough that sweat come off my forehead when I wiped my head. Was it always this hot in here? Saki stared at me as if she knew what I was going through but she just went to her parents and started talking.

Thank god.

Another week passed with this pain eating me, this fever wouldn't go away, nausea takes me over at any given moment along with vomiting, diarrhea…..Michael finally caught on what has been up with me. Tonight he was making sure he was taking care of me. He was on the phone with his boss. I hated that he was doing it but there was no talking him out of it.

"Yes. Sorry sir but my wife is sick." Michael said. Pause. "Yes sir. Thank you sir." Michael hung up. "So how long have you had constipation?"

I shrugged. I held the blanket over me, more hoping it would settle these chills and shaking I've been having. Michael sat beside me. "We should call the doctor."

"Its late though."

"Don't care. He said he makes house calls." Michael said as he started dialing the number. He held the phone to his ear and stroked my head as he waited. I laid against his chest, feeling pain in my sides cause of all this shaking. Is it the baby? I sure hope not but it might be.

"Hi this is Michael Collins. You've been a doctor to my wife…Shay Collins, formerly known as Shay Glass." He paused for a minute or two before he spoke. "Yes sir I know how late it is but….I think there's something wrong with the baby…" Another pause. "Yes." Another. "Thank you sir." He said before putting the phone back on the cradle.

"So?" I voiced as I stared up at him.

"The doctor is on his way."

I held my tummy, feeling more pain. I groaned as I leaned over, laying my head on my knees. "Shay you okay?" Michael asked. I shook my head.

"It hurts. It hurts."

"What does baby?"

"My abdomen, my back, my sides. It hurts" I groaned more.

"We should get you in bed." He helped me to my feet but the pain didn't want me to go anywhere. I collapsed in his arms, sharp knives were jabbing inside as the sharp pain came at all angles. "Michael! It hurts." I choked, almost in tears at this point. He stroked my head, holding me up. "Its alright." He picked me up then laid me in our bed. He tucked me in good and tight. "Do you want some food?"

I shook my head. "The pain!" I cried. He felt my head.

"Your fever is high. I'll get you a wash cloth." He said. The phone rang for a bit. "I'll be right back baby." Michael left and as he promised he was back, the phone stuck to his ear. "What do you mean you cant be here till morning?" He asked.

I started to sit up but Michael gently pushed me back down. He covered me back up. "But my wife is sick, she's also pregnant."

Another pause. "She's been having abdominal pain, constipation, high fevers, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. She's also having chills and shaking." He informed. He waited, his face looking focused. A long pause lingered till Michael nodded. "Yes. Thank you doctor." He hung up the phone, threw it on the bed then went to me. He started to lift me up till I screamed then he laid me back down. "What!?" He asked, panicked.

"Pain. It hurts." I confessed, sobbing. Michael looked pained but not the pain im in. he cupped his chin for a while till he got the phone.

"Im calling 911."

"Why?" I asked in a whisper.

"Your appendix may be blocked. From what I told the doctor he told me that it may be your appendix. The longer you let it go on the more severe it gets."

I widened my eyes. "But….The baby…."

"Will be fine." He finished before he went to the other room. I heard him tell the people the basics, where we lived, who we were, what is happening at this point. He came back without a phone but a wet cloth. He laid it on my head. "They're on their way." He dabbed another cloth against my cheeks. The cold water felt like heaven.

"Michael…." I whispered.

"Yes."

I smiled at him. "I love you….just know that okay."

He stopped for a moment. His face looked stunned, and a bit scared. He recovered his fearful face in minutes time, he smiled then kissed my lips. "I love you too." He said.

My vision blurred. I was certain that I had a smile on my face as the world went black.

The last thing I heard was…

"Shay!" Michael's voice calling out to me. Then my body went numb, along with my mind….

Michael

Hours passed by since I been in this dreadful place. Since I heard the dreadful news. And since I saw the dreadful state that my dear wife was in. My family was still at their houses, it was nearly 3 am. I don't think I should have them here, waiting, fearing the worst, like am now.

Shay's my best friend. My girlfriend. My wife. My life. I cant loose her. Im only 19. She's only 18. We are to young to separate. She's too young to die. Im scared, I admit it. Ive always been scared since she told me about this pregnancy, although I'd never admit it to her. She's already scared enough. She doesn't need my fears along with hers. It would be too much.

"Michael Collins?" A voice spoke. I looked up to see a lady standing in my view. I stood.

"Ma'am?"

The lady smiled. "We got your wife and baby stable. Her appendix was in rough shape, luckily we got her here just in time, a day or two later…it would have been to late for her and the baby."

I smiled at the woman. "She's okay!?"

"For the time being. She has a fever right now, but that's only a side effect of the meds we put her on."

"May I see her?"

The lady looked unsure if she should let me as she stood silent for a long moment before she nodded. "But please….let her rest. These hours are crucial."

"Thank you ma'am."

She led me to Shay's room, once entered I thanked her again. She left with a smile. I got to the chair, beside her bed and lowered. I watched her as she breathed. Her eyes were closed. Her face was more colorful. Her heart monitor beeped loud and clear.

"Sir?" I heard a voice from behind. Another doctor. "Im Betsy Andrews." She was an older lady. Had dirt blond hair. Big blue eyes. Another doctor strolled in behind her. This guy had more blond in his hair, and a hint of brown his eyes. They looked just alike.

"And I'm Aiden. Aiden Glass. I'm your new doctor. This here is my nurse assistant."

"New doctor? What about the doctor I had?"

"Well it seems he was sent over seas. So we were sent in. so this young woman is your wife?"

I nodded.

"Her appendix had to be taken out, along with the baby-" Nurse Andrews said before I made a gasping sound.

"My baby is here!?"

"You didn't know?" Mr. Glass was eyeing his assistant. She shrugged. "I thought the boy knew sir."

"I didn't!"

Betsy smiled. "Come with me then." She grabbed my hand and started for the door I stopped, making her look back at me.

"My wife though-"

Aiden put his hand on my shoulder. "She is well. In a few hours she will be up." He smiled. "Go see your baby girl."

I opened my mouth. Wide. "G-girl?" I stammered as I was pulled out.

I had a girl!

"Here she is." Betsy smiled at me. I stared at the small child. She was in a incubus. Her eyes were opened. She looked healthy. She smiled at me. "Beautiful." I whispered.

"This reminds me when I had my first child."

"Really?"

Betsy nodded. "Summer is her name."

I smiled at her. "Beautiful name."

"Yes my husband thinks so. Anyways what will you name her?"

"Michaela."

Betsy smiled. "Angel of Michael. Great choice. Any middle name."

"Michaela….Joy Collins?"

"How about Faith."

We both scrunched our faces at that. "I think we wont have a middle name. Michaela Collins would do."

Betsy smiled. "May I use your cell. I have to call my folks."

Betsy handed me her phone with a smile. I called then hung up and gave it back to her. "So who's the lucky man who got a girl like you?"

Betsy blushed then smiled. "He's been my best friend since he helped me to the nurses office in second grade. His name is Joshua Andrews. The doctor in charge of your wife is my twin brother believe it or not."

"No wonder you two looked so alike."

Betsy smiled. "Well I should get going. My daughter, son and husband will be here soon to pick me up."

"Isnt it like almost four am?"

"Yes but their early risers." She winked before trotting off. I looked down at my child with a smile.
