Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors (7)

Turns out I'm about six weeks pregnant and in my first trimester... Whatever that meant. Caroline made me stay a few extra days so she could "make sure the baby is okay" but really she just sat in my bed and talked while eating a bunch of junk food; it was fun though. They finally released me on Wednesday but I had to come back every other month to check on the baby. I had Caroline call Jacob at 3:30 to ask if he could come get me, he of course said yes and was in my room at 4. He looked tired when I saw him, but his face lit up when he saw me.

"Missy!" he rushed to my side and gave me a tight hug.

"Hey Jacob" I tried to greet him but it was difficult since his muscular shoulder was covering my mouth.

"Why are you in the hospital?" he turned serious now and looked me straight in the eye.

"Uh.... I'm having a baby!!!" I said, only to change the subject.

"What?! Who's the father?!" he demanded, the question kinda took me off guard but it didn't take long to figure out the answer... The only guy I had sex with (besides jake)... "That son of a bitch!!" he yelled. I flinched as he paced and was about to punch the wall.

"Oh... Missy... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to scare you..." Jacob cooed after he noticed how scary he was being. He gave me a quick hug and left to go discharge me. While he was gone the nurse from the other day came in and gave me all my clothes back and also gave me a pair of scrubs.

"Excuse me, but what are the scrubs for?" I asked her quietly.

"well I figured you didn't want to wear a gown or workout clothes home." she smiled at me and left the room right as Jacob walked in.

"Hey, you ready to go? A nurse said she'd come take your IVs out in a sec" I nodded and sure enough another nurse came in and unhooked all the machines from me. After she was finished Jacob helped me into the bathroom and left me to get ready. I washed my hair in the sink and brushed through it quickly, then I slipped on the scrubs; which thankfully weren't that ugly teal color. The scrubs were pink and had the cancer sign on one of the shoulders. I emerged the bathroom to see Jacob sitting on the bed talking to Caroline.

"I'm so excited!! Ooh! Maybe I could be the god mother!" Caroline squealed with delight while Jacob just laughed. I quickly joined in with him, making my presence know. Jacob quickly got up and helped me back to the bed, the three of us talked for a few more minutes before Caroline was called back to work. Jacob got up and fetched a wheel chair for me and he wheeled me out into the lobby, where I sat bored out of my mind while he fetched the car. He came back and parked in front of the automatic doors, and a nurse came and wheeled me to the passenger door. Jacob rushed to the other side and helped me into the seat, once I was buckled he said a thanks to the nurse and came around to the drivers seat.

"Hey... So you hungry?" he asked as we pulled out of the parking lot.

"Yea, you mind if stop and get something?"

"Sure. What would you like?" he looked at me while we stopped at the red light.

"Hmm...." I looked around "Taco bell?" I asked.

"Good choice!" Jacob nodded with approval. He pulled into the drive through and ordered. I got 3 soft tacos and a large Dr. Pepper while he got a bean burrito. We ate on the way back to my house, it really didn't occur to me how hungry I really was. When we pulled into my drive way Jacob gave me a quick hug and said goodbye. I trudged up to my door, it creaked as I opened it and I crept inside. I walked up to my room and collapsed into my bed. I closed my eyes and fell into a restless sleep.

I woke up and the room was dark, I got up and walked to my dresser; I grabbed a tank top and a pair of short to change into and made my way into the bathroom. I looked at my reflection- God I looked like shit. My hair was tangly, my eyes bloodshot, and I looked exhausted. I turned on the shower and jumped in, the water was kinda cold but it didn't bother me that much. I washed my hair and body with soap and got out. I dried off and put on the new clothes, I felt so much better now. I brushed my hair and walked back to my room. I laid back in my bed and tried to sleep but failed miserably. I felt kinda lonely so I decided I could call Jacob, maybe he could come over and keep me company. I smiled at the thought.
