Structured Chaos
Chapter 9
Lucas watched helplessly as Brooke began to panic.
"No my doctor said if i had bleeding i was supposed to come in right away. Why is this happening? Why am i having pain.?" Brooke questioned.
"The fall. The trauma of that may have caused something to take place. I'm going to give you medicine to give slow things down and hopefully you're pain will lessen."
"Just try to relax okay." The doctor replied. Before leaving the room.
Lucas looked to his wife.
"Let's focus on breathing and staying calm."
"That we have control over. It's going to be okay." Lucas said.
"You don't know that. I can't calm down." Brooke replied.
The doctor soon reappeared. And inserted some medication into Brooke's IV.
"Okay. We're going to keep you here for a few hours. Give the medication a chance to work then we'll exam you."
"Let me explain what's happening to you. From what i'm seeing and you're pain. You're going into labor and too early so our goal is to keep the fetus from being born. You need to remain in bed."
"Once you're stable enough. We can send you home. But we just need to take things hour by hour." The doctor said.
"I'll stay here. Take whatever medication i need too. It's far too soon for labor. I can't fathom giving birth now. The baby is barely developed enough."
"Please save my baby." Brooke pleaded. The emotion in her voice thick.
"We are going to do all we can to make sure you are able to keep this pregnancy and go home. But you will have to be patient." The doctor replied. Before leaving.
"This can't actually be happening!"
"I should of just stayed home. Waited until i was 12 weeks."
"But no i had to go out. Do and see. As if everything hadn't changed."
"I'm so stupid!" Brooke exclaimed.
"Stop it. You did nothing wrong. This isn't you're fault."
"You didn't do anything wrong. I'm so sorry." Lucas replied.
"I'm not ready to meet our baby. It's too soon.!" Brooke exclaimed.
As she sobbed into Lucas's chest.
Lucas felt his own emotions begin to unravel.
