Chapter 6: The hospital
Apparently i was unconsious for 5 days. I awoke in the hospital, my back feeling full of pain, and my eyesight a little fuzzy. It hurt so bad to move my neck, which ment my arms didnt move well. I wiggle my legs and my right one hurt, but not as much as my back. I sighed and took in my surroundings, realizing i was hooked to a machine through my arms and nose. A nurse suddenly walked in, someone i didnt recongnize.
She blinked, shocked. "Your awake?" She sounded stunned, putting down her clipboard and a tube like thing.
"What happened" I choked out, it hurt to talk but i needed answers on how i got here.
She sighed loudly and sat down in a chair next to my bed, grabbing another clipboard on the way to me. She flipped it open and read: " Mia Elizabeth Carbone, 15, yada yada, ah here we go, struck by a hit and run driver in her drive way, broken neck, broken arms, right leg broken, comatose...and prenatial damage."
I listened sadly, and got even sadder as she narrowed it down. "Prenatial damage? What!!??" I spat out, my throat buring horribly.
"Yes, Im sorry, but one of your triplets will be still born." She looked at me with a caring look, placing her hand on mine.
"What? I didnt have triplets? Dr.Garnett! WHERE IS SHE???" i yelled, trying to clutch my throat, bu suddenly stopping when my arms felt awful.
"Calm down sweetie. I'll go get her, please rest." She got up and sauntered out of the room, her blonde hair swishing.
I started to cry, and panic. My throat hurt so bad, and my eyes stung with all the tears. I waited impatiently, screaming inside. Finally Dr.Garnett rushed in.
"Sweetie! Your awake! Oh thank god!" She yelped.
"My triplets? What?" I squealed. Dr.Garnett looked my, solemnly in the eyes.
"Im so sorry sweetie, but you were going to have triplets. One of them, Baby C, was hiding behind Baby A. Baby C was closest to you back, where you got struck. Sadly, it died slowly, while you were comatose." She looked down, and i could see a small tear drip down her eye.
"But..but...what are we gunna do...we cant just leave it in there..." I started crying myself, tears still stinging my eyes and landing down on my bloodied hospital gown.
"Ohh sweetie, im afraid we have too, taking out Baby C could damage the others. And besides, your gunna be bed ridden through most of your pregnancy, due to this tragidy." She sniffled sadly.
"My...My..beautiful baby...ohh.." I cryed, feeling pains in my stomach.
"Oh yes..good news though, your now 9 weeks along now, 3 weeks until your 2nd trimester." She smiled lightly, trying to lighten the mood.
"Really? Only 31 weeks now right?" I asked, gaining a little more happiness.
"Roughly, yes." She smiled. "Hey, i should probably call your folks, tell them your awake. Theyve been so worried, as have all of us."
I nodded, quickly regretting it as the pain shot through my body. I waited for 20 minutes, when my whole family poured through the door. Celia and Candace ran to me first, grasping me in a tight hug, a way too tight hug.
"OUCH!" i screamed loudly. They pulled away apologizing.
"Sorry sis, just you know..." Celia started
"You've been in a coma..." Candace finished.
"Do you have to remind me? First i break, like everything in my body, one of my babies dies, and you guys remind me of my awful accident." I said, stuttering.
"Dead?" Candace yelped
"Baby?" Celia screeched?
"What about a dead baby?" My mom rushed to my side, kneeling next to me.
"One of my triplets," I started, before my dad came over to me and stood by my mother.
"TRIPLETS?" My dad scoffed, looking more angry than sad.
"Yah, i was gunna have triplets, but one was hiding behind the others, being invisible to the ultrasound, and it got struck by the car, and died while i was comatose." I started to cry, wishing i could have my poor, stillborn baby in my arms, alive and breathing.
"Ohh...no..." My mom started to cry.
"Honey.."My dad started.
"NOOOO!" My sisters cried in unison.
"Really?" Christian sniffled from the side of the room
"Im so upset...i mean..sure i dont have to struggle as much, and i never even knew about this other baby, but i just wanted this baby safe in my stomach." I cried, letting everyone else cry as well, as we sat there for a long time, until the nurse came in, with someone who looked familiar.
"SAYAH!!!" We all shouted, my shout souding weaker than the others.
Sayah approached us slowly. She looked just like my mom, brown wavy hair, noticeable curves, and the same facial profile. She had electric green eyes, like her real father. "Oh guys! Mia.." She said rushing towards our huddle family.
"Were all heree..." Candace said
"As a big old family." Celia breathed.
"Kinda.." I replied...
"What do you mean kinda? We have all 5 kids here and the parents." Sayah said, looking around the room, her gaze stopping on me.
"No..2 of them are unborn...one dead..." I choked out sadly, looking down.
Sayah looked directly at my mom. "Triplets mom? Your having TRIPLETS?" She screamed at my mom. I suddenly got very scared. If she acted that way if my mom had triplets, than i couldnt imagine her anger when she heard they where mine.
"No sweetie, Mia is..." My mom replied, trying to be calm.
Sayah gasped, looking at me, her green eyes full of anger and hate."WHAT?" And after that she stormed out of the room, slamming the door. None of my family had seen her since she was 17, when she went to Europe to run away with her gangster boyfriend, Damon, or Lil D as he liked to be called. My whole family hated, and i mean, HATED, him and her choice, and suddenly we all remembered Sayah's awful attitude.
