Unbroken
Chapter 10
Mark did not know what to do. The woman caring his daughter just fell down and started to seize. All he thought about was if his child would be ok. As he rushed into the exam room that Meredith was in, he rushed to her side. She was still seizing. He rushed to the drawer where the diazepam was kept to administer 10cc to get her to quit because he knew the longer they were in this state the more dangerous it was for mother and child.
While he gave her the shot, he thought about what would happen if something was wrong with the baby. He hoped there was nothing wrong, but he could get the thought out of his head.
The seizing decelerated a little as Derek and Richard entered the room in panic. Their eyes widened at the sight in font of them Richard was the first to speak.
"What happen, Mark?"
Derek looked at Meredith. His eyes were watery...
"What did you do to her, Mark?" He said almost screaming.
"NOTHING! I did nothing. We were walking and talking about the baby and then next thing, I know she is on the ground seizing..." He stops a moment. "Hold on, why do you think I would do something to her?"
"Because I saw the look you gave us down the hall early"
"Derek we were just talking about how much I would have a role in my daughter's life"
Ok enough. Let us just see what happened. We should give Meredith our full attention." Richard interrupted.
"Let's also get OB in here to check on the baby"
At that moment, Meredith stopped and started to moan as if she was hurt. Derek when up to her so he could comfort her.
"Shhh… Mer your okay I promise I'm right here."
"My baby! My baby. Is my baby ok?"
Sh... sh... Honey the baby is going to be ok." Derek said reassuring her.
Mark watched as Derek could do what he was not able and that made his heart ache. He hated that he did not have that effect with anyone in his life. That he did not have someone that he could not calm down when she got to upset.
Meredith was just focusing on Derek and everything else in the room fell away. Her head felt as if it was splitting apart but as long as she heard Derek's voice, she was ok.
"Honey its going to be ok. Just let them do their job and everything will be ok. Ok? Derek asked her.
"Ok I'm just worried I don't even know what happened one moment I was fine the next moment my world went black."
"Do you remember What it felt like? Maybe by that we can figure out What happened."
"All I remember is feeling dizzy then losing my bearing and Mark caught me at first but, Then I went down"
"O.K. you feel fine right now?" Richard asked her.
"Yes, but I have a throbbing headache."
"Well that's normal after a seizure but I still want you to take it easy and let Dr. Morris check they baby before we do anything more."
"Okay"
As she said, that Dr .Morris came rushing in.
"What happened?"
Mark decided to speak up.
"She had a seizure with no warning and were worried about the baby"
"How long was she in the seizure?"
"About ten mintues"
"Ok. How long has she had the baby?" Dr. Morris asked.
"Six months"
"We'll let's do an ultrasound but I won't be able to know the damage if any until she's born"
"OK" Derek said
Dr. Morris did the ultrasound and to the relief to everyone the baby seemed ok but her future was still uncertain. It makes everyone nervous because they did not know What laid ahead for this little girl inside Meredith.
