Saving Grace *Body Guard series*

Saving Grace: Help! Chapter 11

It's been a month since things went back to normal. Father's funeral was beyond hard. I cried so hard that my tear ducts burned from all the salty tears. I've been having a hard time keeping any food down and barely keeping liquids down. Terrell has been trying to take care of me but he's also super busy trying to keep the mafia running smoothly. He refuses to leave the house, so he's been doing a lot of video conferences with the workers in his office. I think I need him to take me back to the hospital.

I get out of bed and walk over to the mirror. I raised my shirt and looked at my belly and it was slightly swollen. I drop my shirt and feel a sudden feeling of nausea and sickness come over me. I rush to the bathroom throwing the toilet seat up and throwing up bile. I have not eaten anything in a while so there was nothing to throw up. My throat is raw and burns and my eyes are watery from throwing up. I sat on the cold tiled floor until I got enough strength to get up onto my feet. I immediately brushed my teeth, using mouthwash to get that nasty taste of bile from my mouth.

I walk out of the bathroom and walk to my closet grabbing for a hoodie and sweatpants changing before heading out the door towards Terrell's office.

Terrell stopped sleeping in the bed beside me a couple nights ago. He told me he didn't wanna disturb me due to him going to bed late at night so He's been sleeping in the guest room. I tried to tell him that I didn't care and that I don't sleep well without him, but he didn't budge on it.

My bare feet padder along the black tile down the hallway to his office door. I knock on the door just loud enough to hear him say "come in". I grab the glass door knob turning it pushing the door open. I walk in seeing Terrell behind his giant mahogany colored wooden desk.

"Hey, baby girl how are you feeling today?" He asks as he staples some papers.

"Not good, I think I need to go back to the doctors. I don't feel good and I threw up again today with nothing in my stomach." Concern covers his face and he slides his chair back getting up. He presses a button on his wall.

"Yes Mr. Clarricoates?" I heard a familiar voice boom through the intercom.

"Max can you cancel my afternoon conferences? I need to take Miss Sanchez to the hospital." Terrell says as his eyes are on me.

"Of course sir, shall I tell them that it'll be rescheduled at a later date and that you will decide later tonight about the new date? "

"Yes Maxwell, that would be great. Thank you." Terrell said hitting the off button on the intercom.

"Let's get you to the hospital. " He said as he walked beside me, putting his hand on my lower back guiding me out of his office. We walk down the stairs to the front door. He grabs his keys off the key rack then opens the door holding it for me. I walk through walking down the stairs to the SUV. I hear him close the door and lock the deadbolt before walking to the SUV. He clicks the keyfob unlocking the doors. Terrell opens my door for me and closes it behind me.

Lately he hasn't been as loving as he usually is. I wonder if I did something or if he's just stressed from work.

We ride in silence with the radio softly playing in the background. When we get to the hospital he gets out closing his door, walking around to mine and opens the door offering his hand to me to help me get out. We walk hand in hand to the hospital. We walk in through the familiar double doors, take a turn and walk down the same long hallway to the end. He knocks on the door and Doctor Carrington opens the door, standing there smiling.

"Welcome back, Miss Sanchez. You look like you're doing a little better. At least you can walk now." She says as she steps back allowing us to walk into the room. I walk up the steps and get onto the exam table. Doc. Carrington closes the door then turns to face me.
