Johnboy
"Were you ever going to tell me, Lauraline?"
"I-I-I," she swallows hard.
"Johnathon? You gonna be ok?" Kylie says as she comes to stand beside me.
She sees Kylie, and the color drops from her face. She puts one hand on her belly and one on her chest, her breathing starts to get faster and more profound. It looks like she is in a lot of pain.
"Lauraline, are you ok?"
"No. I need..." she looks to the right of me and says, "it hurts bad, Ally. Something isn't right."
"Kitty, just breathe." A dark feeling comes over my body when I hear his voice and see him running to her. He puts one hand on her back and the other gently on her stomach. I have never felt anger like this. Deep growing heat rising in my chest. I can't hold it in any longer.
"Are you fuck- you knew this whole FUCKING time? She's been WITH YOU? I begged you to help me find her, and she NEVER even FUCKING left. She has been ten minutes down the fucking road this whole motherFUCKING time." I growl. Kylie grabs my arm to try and help calm me down. LJ started to shakes uncontrollably.
"Shut the fuck up, man. I nee-" Before he can finish, her eyes close, and her body starts falling forward. I lunge toward her, but Alyx already has her in his arms. I'm doing it again. Causing her pain.
"Lauraline!" Kylie gasps.
"Help me take her to the car. We need to get her to the hospital now. You can yell at me later." Alyx tells me. All the anger has now been replaced with worry. "Take the car Ky and meet us there." I toss her the keys, and she nods in agreeance. I do as Alyx says. We get her to his car, and I get into the back seat with her lying in my lap. I rub her hair and pray silently in my head.
"Father God, I know I don't pray as much as I should, and I sin daily. But, this girl has been the best thing in my life, and I know that I was put here on this earth to give her everything. So far, I have only let her down. Please give me the chance to make it up to her. I can't lose her yet. I just found out we are going to have a kid. Give me a chance to show her I can be there for them. I will love her and this child with everything I am. Please don't take her from me again. Please. In your name, I pray. Amen"
We arrive at the hospital. I pick her frail body up in my arms, and we run inside. Alyx yells at the intake nurse.
"WE NEED HELP! My friend, she has hyperemesis gravidarum, she was having pain and is unconscious " A doctor and two nurses come running to meet us with a gurney.
"Lauraline?" he says. Somehow Dalton came out as they were rolling her to the back. We both try to go back with her.
"You both need to wait here. I have to ask you some questions."
"First, what happened?" I let Alyx answer all the questions because I honestly don't know. I feel useless.
"She has hyperemesis gravidarum. Today was the first day she felt good. She had no stress, no sickness. She was happy. She decided she wanted to go out to eat steak. So, we went to Longhorns, she excused herself to the bathroom, and 10 minutes later, I'm going to look for her because she wasn't back yet. I found her with JB in front of the bathroom. She was breathing heavy and saying she was in pain. And now here we are."
