Depression and Alcoholism

A month later
(Some time jumps in here)

Miranda was at the doctor seeing if she was really pregnant or if she was just sick.Hi dr.deluca.Hi I have you test results right here.Miranda started to get nervous and anxious.Congratulations you are pregnant.You are 11 weeks you will be 12 next Thursday.She just sat there shock at what she heard.How would Ben feel?Do he want more kids?What if tuck or Pru don't want a sibling.She started to panic but quickly go it together.

Nobody noticed that Ben wasn't hisself anymore.Ben would come to work smelling like whiskey and bourbon.And come home smelling like it.Ben was drinking every day and every night.He had a stash that not even Miranda knew about.Ben was less of hisself.Sometimes he would come home and not say nothing to them or he would be loud and drunk talking to Miranda who hated when he was like that.

Three weeks later

Miranda was  12 1/2 weeks pregnant.She haven't told anyone yet but some people expected it.Miranda was walking threw her door when she smelled something stink.What the hell is that smell.She walked upstairs and the smell got stronger she went into her bedroom and her heart dropped.Ben was passed out on the floor with a bottle of tequila beside him.BEN she cried running to him.Ben baby come on,please don't do this to me she was shaking him,checking his pulse making sure he was still alive.She got into doctor mode and tried to get him up. She finally got him into the tub and cut the cold water on.Come on baby,wake up she was crying.Ben stared groaning and open his just to close them because of the light.Ben she say when his eyes opened.He finally woke up and looked at Miranda not knowing what had just happened.Baby what's wrong why you crying?He ask confused.I-I thought I lost you.I found you past out.Hey hey hey I'm okay.Okay?okay she shook her head.

Later on that day she watched as poured him a glass of whiskey.Ben I think you should stop drinking and go to rehab or see a therapist.What Ben said looking at her.I think you should stop drinking.No.He went back to doing what he was doing.Miranda got fed up and took the whiskey bottle from him and poured it down the kitchen sink.WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?Ben ask.Helping you.She took the rest of their liquor and poured it out.Ben was not in his right mind set so he went to his hidden stash and drunk some.Miranda saw and took them all.Ben accidentally pushed her back when she reached for the one I his hand.She stood back with a hurt and shocked expression.Ben felt bad.Baby I'm sorry that was a accident I didn't mean to.No I don't know who you are or what you become but this-this is not the man I fell in love with.She said hurt.

That last sentence hurt Ben.He dropped down to knees and started crying.Baby I'm so sorry.She couldn't take it anymore so she just hold him.I love you but you gotta get help.I will for you.No don't do it for me do it for you.I can't do this on my own.I need you to get better, I need you,Tuck needs you,Pru needs you.And most importantly our baby needs you.Ben stiffed when she said baby.He turn his head to look at her.Your pregnant?Yes.How far a long 12 1/2 weeks.He look at her and smile then he kissed her.I love you so much.Thank you for caring my baby.He lifted her shirt and rubbed her stomach.She just smiled looking at him.

Ben baby I think you should go to rehab and see a therapist.He was quite for a minute but then he thought about it.Okay he said still hugging her and kiss her stomach.
