Two months had passed. Hayden always made sure she carried a bottle of water with her. Lately she'd been experiencing some back aches and mild cramping but she thought nothing of it. Jeff had been so attentive to her over the last couple months. Whenever she needed anything he was right there, even if it was late at night. Hayden had just started her third trimester of pregnancy, so she couldn't fly anymore. She was out to lunch with Stephanie.
"So how have you been?" Stephanie asked.
"Good."
"No more problems?"
"Thankfully no."
"Good." "What about the whole Jeff thing?"
"He's been really helpful." "You're gonna think I'm crazy." "I haven't decided yet but I'm thinking about telling him I want to get back together."
"Really?"
"Yeah." "There's only one thing holding me back."
"The drugs thing?"
"Yeah." "You don't know how much I want to believe him when he says he's done with the drugs." "I just don't know if I can."
"It's a big decision but in the end it all comes down to what you want."
"I know." "I can't believe I'm in my seventh month already."
"I can't wait to meet her."
"Me either."
Later that night Hayden was at home going to the bathroom. When she wiped she saw blood. She looked in the toilet and saw several blood cloths. She immediately called 911 and then Jeff. She got his voicemail.
"Jeff something's wrong." She said tearfully. "I'm bleeding." "I called 911." "I'll be at Memorial Hospital."
Hayden was rushed to the hospital. She'd loss consciousness in the ambulance. She had a placental abruption. In order to save both her and the baby they had to take the baby via C-Section.
Jeff had been in the shower when Hayden called. As soon as he got the message he was on the next flight out. He got there in four hours. He found Stephanie and went up to her. He could tell she'd been crying.
"Stephanie what's wrong?" Jeff asked.
"Hayden had a placental abruption." "That's why she started bleeding."
"Oh my god, did she um, did she lose the baby?" He asked with tears in his eyes.
"No." "She's in the NICU."
"The NICU?" "She was born?" "It's to early for that."
"They had to to save them both."
"Is the baby ok?"
"She's in an incubator." "Her lungs aren't fully developed yet." "She's one pound five ounces." "At this point they don't know anything yet.
"How's Hayden?"
"She's in a coma, from loss of blood."
"When will she wake up?"
"The doctor says that's up to her." "There's no timeframe."
"Will you take me to Rebekah?"
When Jeff saw Rebekah he'd never seen anything so small and fragile. She had tubes connected all over her.
"It's ok my Becca." Jeff said. "Daddy's here." "Listen I know things don't look so good right now but everything's gonna be fine." "You're gonna get strong and mommy's gonna wake up and you're both gonna go home." "I love you."
After spending a few hours with Rebekah Jeff went to see Hayden. She looked so peaceful. Like she was sleeping. Jeff sat down in a chair next to her bed and held her hand.
"It's ok Hayden." He said. "I'm here." "We have a beautiful baby girl." "She's gonna be just fine and so are you." "You have to wake up." He started to cry. "I can't lose you." He said tearfully. "Please wake up." "I love you."
