Big Aint Bad

Chapter 21

Mike

"Its okay buddy you're going to be fine." I told my teammate.

During practice he had tripped & fell on his foot so I came to the hospital with him.

"Hey man I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back." I said.

As I was walking towards the bathroom I saw EMT's bust in pushing a gourney to a room as fast as they could.

"She loosing a lot of blood. Blood pressure is rising."

My nosy ass watched them as they cut the clothes & washed the face of the woman.

"Oh my God.Armani!" I shouted

I raced to the room.

"Excuse me. I know her. What happened?" I asked.

"Sir you're going to have to step out of the room & let us stabilize her." They said.

My heart was beating a million miles a minute. Please let her be okay. Please let her be okay.

I went back to the room where my friend was to let him know what was going on. Then I left & went back to Armani.

After nearly 4 hours I could finally find out what was going on.

"Hey! Wide Receiver Mike Samuels."

"Is my friend okay?" I asked.

"I'm terribly sorry Mr. Samuels. How rude of me. She had a wreck late last night around 9. Since an 18 wheeler hit her car the driver must've didn't feel it. Maybe he or she was sleepy & the bump woke them up. Armani is very lucky. She had some cuts & scrapes. She broke her left leg. Oh & her babies are fine too. We did an ultrasound." He said.

"Babies?" I asked.

"Yes. She's about 9 weeks pregnant with twins." He said.

"Damn." I thought out loud.

"You can go in there with her. She should be waking up in another hour or so." He said.

I walked in. She looked really bad. Cuts & bruises everywhere. I wanted to be mad. That she didn't come back. That she met someone else. That she was pregnant by someone that wasn't me but I couldn't. All I saw was the woman I once loved. I couldn't leave her. I grabbed her hand.

"You're gonna be alright." I said as I held her hand.

After about 2 hours I fell asleep.

"Michael?"

I looked up.

"Hey. You're awake." I said.

"Yeah. Ouch!" She said.

"Hey careful. You were in a car accident. Take it easy." I told her.

She grabbed for her belly.

"They're fine." I said.

"How did you know?" She asked.

"Doctor told me. Its okay. I'm just glad that you're okay." I told her.

She teared up.

"Don't you do that. All that crying." I teased.

"Shut up."

She laughed

"Ow it hurts to laugh." She said.

"So where is he?" I asked her.

"When I told him about my pregnancy he basically called me a hoe tryna make a come up." She said.

I was livid.
