The Virus

Chapter 6

Andy's POV

"Pregnant... really?" I said in shock.

 I look over to Robert trying to hide the shock on my face but ultimately failing. "Oh my gosh, I'm gonna be a dad?" said Robert "I guess so" I said while fake smiling and then kissed him. "Well Andy, we're gonna keep you overnight to get the fever under control and to make sure you're hydrated, sound good" said Dr. Grey "Yeah thanks" I said. Dr Grey left and that left me, Robert, and Carina in the room. "So if you want I can be your OB and help you through your pregnancy" said Carina "Yeah sure thanks" I said "No problem, we'll talk after you get discharged, want me to go get Maya?" Carina asked "Yes please I know she must be freaking out" I said "Ok, I'll be right back" said Carina as she walked out of the room. 

"Baby are you ok? How do you feel about this" asked Robert "Yeah I'm good, just wasn't expecting that" I said looking down at my hands "We never really talked about kids before, heck we've never talked about marriage before" I said now looking at Robert "Do you want either of those things?" Robert asked "Maybe, I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom" I said with tears "Hey hey it's ok we'll get through this" said Robert "Robert I don't think I can do this" I said hyperventilating "Andy hey, calm down" Robert said calmly while rubbing my back. Just then a nurse came running in after the monitors started beeping "Is everything ok?" asked the nurse "Yeah I think she just had a little panic attack" said Robert. The nurse then came over and checked my blood pressure and heart rate. " Your heart rate is a little high, I'm gonna give you something to help you relax" said the nurse. She gave the medication and waited a few minutes then rechecked my heart rate. "It's come down a little bit just try to relax ok" said the nurse as she put her hand on my shoulder "Thank you" I said. 

Just then Maya came running in the room "Andy! Are you ok?" Maya said as she hugged me and starting touching all around my face and neck "Maya I'm good, could you let go of me a little?" I said while laughing and pushing her off of me a bit "Sorry I was just so worried about you" said Maya "Hey umm can you go get me some ice chips, my mouth is kind of dry" I said to Robert as I took his hand "Sure babe, I'll be right back" Robert said as he kissed my forehead and left to get my ice chips.

 I then felt the tears start to well up again. "What's wrong?" Maya asked. I didn't say anything and Maya came to sit on my bed with me. "I'm pregnant Maya" I said while crying "What? Oh my god congratulations" Maya said excitedly until I looked at her. Her face became serious  "Are you not happy about this?" Maya asked "I don't know, I didn't have a mother for most of my life, I don't know what I'm doing" I said anxiously "What does Sullivan think?" Maya asked "He seems so happy about being a dad, I can't tell him" I said still crying "Well you just found out right? So you have time to think about it. Do you think you want to... you know" said Maya "Huh... oh no! No absolutely not, I could never kill a baby " said Andy a little bit irritated at the question "Ok ok I'm sorry, I just wanted to let you know that you have options and I will support you in whatever you decide" said Maya "Thank you, I'm sorry it's just that my mother left me while I was young and I don't know if I can be a good mother to mine but I definitely I can't take away their life" I said "Are you thinking of adoption?" Maya asked "Maybe I have to talk to Robert" I said lying back down "Don't worry, always know I got your back" said Maya "Thanks Maya" I said as Maya laid down on the bed pulling me in for a hug. 

We sat there for a while and I ended up falling asleep. I was about half asleep when I heard Robert coming back into the room. "Hey sorry I stopped to talk to another doctor I met earlier, how is she?" I heard Robert say "She fell asleep, I didn't want to disturb her so I just stayed" said Maya "Here I'll take your place" said Robert. I felt Maya move to get up but I decided to remain asleep but then I felt as Robert got in the bed with me and pulled me close. I couldn't help but smile. "Looks like someone is awake" said Robert laughing "Guilty" I said quietly as I was waking up "I'll pick you up tomorrow after you get discharged ok" said Maya "Ok see you tomorrow" I said waving at Maya and then snuggling closer into Sullivan.

Robert's POV

I headed to the cafeteria to get Andy some ice chips and myself something to eat. I turned the corner and I heard "Robert?" said a familiar voice. I turned and I saw Dr. Webber coming around the corner in my direction "Dr. Webber, hi how are you?" I asked "I'm doing well and you?" said Dr. Webber "I'm good, well a little stressed" I said "Well come in here and tell me about it" said Dr. Webber "I don't want to bother you" I said "It's no bother, come in" said Dr. Webber

 "My girlfriend is pregnant and I'm excited but I don't know if she wants to keep it" I said walking into his office "Well that's rough, have you talked to her?" said Dr. Webber "Not yet, I'm trying to let her get better first before we start talking about it, we only just found out" I said " She found out some things about her childhood and it's been hard for her so she doesn't know if she's ready to be a mother, but I know she would be a great mother. She's kind and gentle, she wouldn't hurt a child" I said "Well son, the best thing you can do is talk to her and try to get her to see both of your points, she'll come around and do what's best for both of you" said Dr. Webber "I hope so" I said "Me too son, I wish you too the best" said Dr Webber as he shook my hand and I went to get Andy's ice chips.

 I came back to her room to see her asleep on Maya's shoulder. I switched places with Maya and saw as Andy woke up smiling. "Hi baby" I said, feeding her some of the ice chips "Hi" she said quietly as she was still waking up "How are you feeling?" I asked "My head hurts and I still feel pretty nauseous" she said quietly "Andy I love you so much" I said "I know" she said snuggling into me more "Robert I-" she said as she put her hand over her mouth. I handed her a bucket and she threw up again. After a few minutes she was finished. "Are you ok?" I ask, stroking her hair back "Yeah I think so" she said lying back. I got up to get her some water and then handed it to her. I got back in bed with her and held her for a few minutes in a comfortable silence when... 

"Andy" I said "Yeah" she said while looking up to me " Will you marry me?" I asked "What?" she said confused "Marry me" I said taking her hand "Robert if you're doing this just so I will keep the baby-" she said before I cut her off "No Andy, I love you so much. After Claire died, I lost myself, I had nobody, I couldn't feel anything except for numbness. I had so much pain that it changed me for the worse. You brought me out of that. I can finally feel, I finally feel myself again. I can love again and it's all because of you. I want to let the world know how much I love you. So Andrea Herrera, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" I said passionately "Yes one hundred percent yes, I love you Robert Sullivan" said Andy in tears. I gave her the most passionate kiss that went on for what felt like forever. "I can't wait to take you home" I said as I pulled her to a hug and held her for the rest of the night until I had to leave.

A/N: Hi guys!!!! sorry for the delay on the chapter. I've been busy with the end of my softball season and school ending. This feels more like a filler chapter to me but I maybe have some more surprises and twists to this story. Also it's shifting into something other than the virus thing I was doing at first. Anyways I hope you like this chapter and it won't be too long until the next chapter. Love y'all :)
