The Takeover
Chapter 37
Hours later
In the morning
Lucas reached over and found an empty space.
He got redressed in his boxers and a t shirt.
As he looked around their bedroom. Then made his way outside and into the hallway.
"Brooke!" Lucas called out.
"I'm in here." Brooke said. As he opened the hallway bathroom door. And found her in the bathtub.
With bubbles. Clutching her belly.
"What's going on?" Lucas asked.
Brooke took a deep breath. Looking to him.
"Contractions. It started happening and i started freaking out."
"Since i've been in the bath. It's stopped."
"I don't know what brought it on and I don't want to go to the doctor. Unless i have too." Brooke explained.
"Brooke. We need to get you checked out."
"Come on. It'll be okay." Lucas said. Wanting to reassure her.
"I don't want anything to be wrong. It's too soon. I'm okay." Brooke said. With tears falling from her eyes.
"We're going to get you and the babies checked out. I would be alot more comfortable once we know what's going on." Lucas replied.
"Ow!" Brooke exclaimed. Once she was out of the tub.
Lucas quickly helped her dry off and get dressed. Along with himself.
Before taking her to the hospital.
Lucas explained what Brooke had told him.
Brooke was soon given an ultrasound.
Brooke was panicking. Crying and yelling.
She was in early labor. And that wasn't good.
First steps were to slow down and stop the contractions.
Which is exactly why she was given medication for
Lucas did his best to calm her down and reassure her.
But truthfully he was a wreck inside.
After awhile. Brooke was checked again and the contractions had stopped fully.
The couple breathed a sigh of relief. Brooke was soon able to go home. With the orders to be on bed rest until delivery.
The next four months she needed limited movement. No stress. Because otherwise the babies would be at risk again.
