Chapter 8: Its A Long Road From Here
I left the hospital one week later, which also ment i was 10 weeks along. I was so excited. I only had 2 more weeks left of my first trimester.
I left the hospital with a broken collarbone, one sprained wrist and a fractured tibia. I could move my arms and i used crutches, but my back wa still so sore. It was so hard to walk around, especially with me lugging around a stomach full of developing babies.
When i did get home, i was told to rest really easy and not go to school. I begged the doctors to let me go school, while i still could without the baby bump being noticeable, but they denied my request. You could see my bump more through some of my shirts. I could understand that with three babies and all. Zane came to visit me in the hospital, and i had to break the news to him.
~Last Wendsday ( a day after waking up from 5 day coma)~
I sat in my hospital bed, reading a teen magazine that Celia got me from the waiting room. I had been awake for a day, and i was feeling so much better. I laughed at a funny article when my door creaked open. I looked up thinking it was a nurse.
"Zane!!!!!!" I exclaimed, throwing down my magazine onto the floor.
"Baby!" he ran over to me, throwing me into a tight hug.
"Owww..careful..." I said kissing his cheek as he pulled away.
"Sorry...Anyway, how are you feeling? I feel so bad for leaving you in your drive way." He kissed my cheek. "Hows our babies?" He said feeling my stomach lightly.
"Well.." I started to say sadly..." We were gunna have triplets," I saw Zanes face drop "And the doctors couldnt see it in the ultrasound, and when i got struck by the car right where Baby C was, and it died slowly when i was comatose" I finished my story, and watched Zane shed a tear.
"Oh baby....im so sorry..." Zane said crying silently and placing his fingers on my hand, intertwining them with mine.
"No no...dont be...sure now that i know its there, i want it alive and breathing like the others, but we never knew it was there the past 9 weeks. It'll be so sad, having this thing grow in me, only to die." And with that Zane let go of my hand and stood up.
"Nurse! Nurse!" He shouted, pacing around my bed.
The nurse came in and looked so concerend. "Whats wrong? Is she alright?" The nurse replied rushing over to feel my forehead.
"Shes fine. But i have a question? Well since Baby C is still born, does that mean that it will keep growing, making the baby larger, or will it just stay in the shape it is?" He sounded so technical, and i laughed in my head at that.
"Oh, well the baby will stay the same size, due to not needing any of the body parts." She sighed the answer. "Is that all?" And with a nod from Zane, she left the room.
"Oh mi lord." i whispered. "I wonder what its like to give birth to two, hopefully healthy babies, and have one be all shriveled up and dead like." We both thought about that and shuttered in disgust.
~Present Time~
I awoke to a noise of a puppy whining. "Shut up Hexa" I sighed loudly, rubbing my eyes and sitting up slowly in bed. Zane had gotten me a puppy, a beautiful 5 month old chiuhaha. He was so adorable but so annoying. I guess thats what it was like to have babies too, always making noise and needing stuff. Hexa barked again and i leaned over the side of my bed to pick her up. She licked my face.
"Hexa..no girl" I laughed. Suddenly Christian walked in.
"Can i walk Hexa? Please?" Christian begged, holdng a leash out.
"Fine, man you really love her dontchya?" He smiled and walked over to my bed and picked her up.
"Come on Hexa, oh whos so cute!" He shrieked. i laughed at him as he walked skipped out of the room. I got out of bed and looked out the window. The sun shined so brightly, and i smiled to myself as i watched Christian being pulled by Hexa on his skateboard.I luaghed histerically as he fell forward.
"Hey Mia," Candace popped her head in.
"Were going to the store," Celia said.
"We know your probably stir crazy" Candace chriped.
"For being in the house snd hospital so long" Celia finished.
I laughed at their twin-like ways. I really wished that my twins were like that. I suddenly flew out of my trance and shooed them out of my room to get dressed. I pulled off my pajama shirt to reveal a small baby bump on my stomach. It wasnt visible through my shirt, thank god. I pulled on skinny jeans and a DCsweatshirt.. I popped down the stairs, grabbing my cell phone on my way out the door.
After 10 minutes in the car, we arrived at the mall. I walked into the mall confidently and Candace and Celia squealed with delight. We had landed right in front of a 'Baby R Us' store. They jumped inside and i glumly followed. I would be caught dead in a baby store.
After about an hour of sorting through baby stuff, Candace and Celia nearly bought the whole store. We were just about to walk out of the store, when i was looking down at my phone when i bumped into someone. I didnt just bump into them, i fell forward. I landed on my back and my shirt flew up almost to reveal my bra. I looked up, into much pain to pull down my shirt only to see my arch enemy since 2nd grade, standing there shocked.
"CARBONE?" Tricia stared at me, her eyes converting to my belly, which was fully showing.
"Why'd you do that Tricia?" I scoffed, wincing from the pain in my back.
"YOUR PREGNANT???" She shrieked, so the whole stores eyes landed on me.
"With twins actually," Celia interupted.
Candace and I both glared at her as Tricia stood there, shocked.
"Ohmigod! I cant wait to tell EVERYONE!" And with that she scampered out of the store.
"Ughhh" I sighed as i lay my head down on the tiles. "Help me up," I said to my sisters. They pulled me up and Candace and I glared even harder at Celia
"What? I didnt mean too!" She scoffed and stormed off. We followed after her and into the car. We piled evrything into the back, where i sat in the car. We had bought so much.
I walked into the door of our house, only to find Christian petting Hexa like crazy. I laughed and crashed next to him. "Glad you happy" I said to him
"What happened to you?" He asked.
"Tricia Sparks found out i was pregnant with twins, and shes gunna tell evryone." I growled angrily.
LIfe couldnt get any worse right now.
