Chapter two
Bird's POV
"Gwendolyn Bird," a nurse calls and I jump up out of my seat and carry Gweni into the doctors room while Bomber and X wait outside with Jenny. The doctor looks over her quickly.
"I think she might have a bowl obstruction. It would explain all her symptoms. I'll order a CT scan to make sure though. So if you want to follow me through here we'll have it done now," the doctor says kindly. I follow her through a door that takes us to a main hallway. We continue to walk down until we reach room 54. We enter the room and I see a lady waiting. I am so scared I can barley keep it together.
After the CT scan
"Alright, I can see she has a large bowl obstruction. The cause of this is a hernia. Now bowl obstructions tend to go away on their own..." She starts to say and then pauses.
"Oh, that's good then," I say with a sigh of relief but the look on her face tells me otherwise.
"However because she's so young and it's a hernia Bowl obstruction she's going to require surgery. So we're going to go ahead and admit her right now. So if you want to follow me down the hall in a moment we'll get her ready," she says kindly but I struggle to understand. Gweni's had surgery before for her hydro- plastic left heart but they were all planned and never just out of the blue like this.
"How long will it take?" I ask holding my daughter tightly.
"The surgery will take about an hour. She'll be admitted into the pediatric ICU and will have to stay in there for one night then in the pediatric ward for a further night," she says explaining everything clearly.
1 hour later
I walk back down the hall to the waiting area crying and I sit down next to Bomber.
"Where's Gweni? What's wrong?" She asks concerned.
"She's got a hernia bowl obstruction. She's having surgery as we speak." I say and Kate rubs my back trying to support me.
"She'll be ok. She a fighter," Kate says.
"How did you know she was a fighter?" I ask.
"Well she's half you and she has a great mother raising her," X replies and this makes me feel a lot better.
"Come here Jen Jen," I say instructing her to sit on my lap and she happily does so.
After the surgery
I sit by my daughters bed side waiting for her to wake up. She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping. The surgery was done microscopically so when she wakes up she won't be in too much pain which is a great thing because I don't know if I could handle her in pain. The X and Bomber where sitting on the lounge in the room keeping Jen Jen occupied.
"Mummy?" I hear a faint voice say.
"Hi Gweni sweetie, it's mummy," I say to her while grabbing her hand and giving it a kiss.
"Where am I?" She asks.
"You're in the hospital," I say to her.
"Why?" She asks innocently.
"Well there was something wrong with your tummy so the doctors gave you surgery and made it all better," I say hoping I'm explaining thinks clearly.
"I like the doctors then. They can be my friend," Gweni smiles.
"Sure baby, they are your friends," I reply. I know soon I'm going to get a call from the rest of the crew to make sure that everything is ok. They have no idea that Gweni had surgery.
Moments later my phone starts to vibrate. I can't answer it though as I'm in a hospital and it would interfere with equipment.
"Mummy, we go home now?" Gweni asks.
"Honey, we have to wait a couple of days for you to get better," I say back. "When you get better I'll take you out for an ice cream alright? Is that a deal?" I ask Gweni trying to cheer her up.
"Yeah," She smiles back. it cheers me up to see her smile. I love it when my children smile. All of a sudden a wave of sickness overcomes me. I cover my mouth and rush to the bathroom and lurch forward a few times, letting my stomach empty. I have no idea why I am throwing up and then it hits me. That fateful night 8 weeks ago on shore leave. The night Mike introduced me to his godson, Ryan. We went back to Ryan's mothers place, she wasn't home and we had some fun. I left at 7:30pm and nobody knew that it ever happened.
I need to take a test to be sure. Good thing I'm in a hospital. I'll clean myself up and then get Kate and Bec to stay here with both girls while I make the apointment. I know one of the Maternity doctors so maybe she'll do it now.
45 minutes later
"Jess, follow me," Dr Crabb says. I follow her back into her room where I had some blood tests done half an hour ago. I had them don't to see if I am in fact pregnant or not. I take a seat and she pulls up my test results on the screen.
"Now my results show that you are indeed pregnant. you're 8 weeks along." Dr Crabb smiled at me. I'm not sure how to take this news. I mean it is amazing news, I have a little life growing inside of me. He is starting to serve on the Hamserley on the next rotation. There was got to be some rule about stoping people who are having a baby together from serving on the same boat. I've got so much to worry about already, with both girls having hydro- Plastic left heart. There is no doubt in my mind that I'm going to have and keep these babies. I just had to figure out when and how to tell Ryan.
