The Kai Havertz Dilemma

Premature

The medics transported Sophia to the treatment room where they had some tools to monitor her. Kai and his family followed but only Kai was allowed inside. He was shaking pretty hard, holding her hand while hers was completely limb in his.

Dr. Hawk: "Her blood pressure is quite high, her heart beats are going crazy. Did she receive any bad news? any new drugs?"

Kai (terrified): "I don't know. Lea said she seemed fine and was joking with them."

Dr. Hawk: "I don't want to give her anything from what I have here because she is pregnant. It might harm the babies. "

Kai: "Should we get her to the hospital?"

Dr. Hawk: "I will try a vagus nerve massage. If it didn't help, we could get her to the hospital asap. Meanwhile, if things escalate quickly, I will give her one of those I have in my pocket, whatever the consequences. "

Kai: "You said it might hurt the babies."

Dr. Hawk: "If things got much worse it would be a must to save her, Kai."

Dr. Hawk moved over Sophia's head, slowly rubbing under her chin. Kai was trying to speak to her, telling her he was right beside her. The monitors started beeping less, allowing them to let a breath out.

Dr. Hawk: "It's slowly coming down."

Kai: "Why isn't she waking up?"

Dr. Hawk: "She will. I don't want to force her to prevent any increase in her blood pressure again. Once she stabilizes, you should take her to the hospital to check on the babies, just to make sure it didn't cause any damage."

Kai: "Shit, okay .. what do I do now?"

Dr. Hawk: "Relax until she wakes up on her own."

A few minutes later, Sophia started waking up. She was lost at first but immediately grabbed Kai as soon as her eyes landed on him, hugging him tightly while shaking.

Sophia: "Kai, don't leave me. Please, Kai. Don't go anywhere. "

Kai: "Shush sweetie, I am right here and I am not going anywhere."

Sophia: "She might hurt me, Kai."

Kai: "Calm down, Soph. I am right here. No one will touch you. You need to relax because this is harming our babies."

Sophia (starting to breathe more regularly): "Are they okay?"

Kai: "I hope so. We will go to the hospital to make sure of that. Just try to relax for now and don't think of anything. "

Sophia: "Okay .. I will try. But may we go to the hospital alone? I don't want anyone else to come with us. "

Kai: "Of course, if that's what you want."

Kai called Dr. Carter to let him know what was coming. He excused himself from his family, asking them to wait at his house while he took Sophia there, where they were guided to imaging for an ultrasound.

Dr. Carter: "Hello again ... what seems to be the problem?"

Kai: "Her blood pressure was quite high. Dr. Hawk did some kind of massage on her neck and it went down, but he told me we should check on the babies."

Sophia: "I feel some discomfort as well." (which made Kai tense a bit, holding her hand tighter)

Dr. Carter: "Hopefully, nothing happened, but I will get you our best OB, Dr. Elizabeth, and she will check on you right away."

Kai: "What kind of discomfort, sweetheart?"

Sophia: "I think it's out of being stressed Kai, don't worry, it's probably nothing."

Dr. Elizabeth entered the room, greeting the couple. She then asked about the details once more before proceeding with the ultrasound.

Dr. Elizabeth: "The babies are fine. However, your uterus is contracting a bit, which might cause premature labor. I will give you a drug to prevent the contractions. Once it settles, you should rest completely. Avoid stress and any physical activity. Avoid sex as well. We can then have another ultrasound in a few days and see. "

Sophia: "Will they be fine?"

Dr. Elizabeth: "Most probably, it's a good thing you came here. Otherwise, you would have found yourself going into labor at 26 weeks. "

Kai: "Thankfully we did."

Dr. Elizabeth: "Can I talk to her for a second in private, Mr. Havertz?"

Kai: "I don't want to leave her."

Dr. Elizabeth: "Just for a minute."

Sophia: "It's fine, Kai. Go ahead, I am safe here."

Dr. Elizabeth hung the drug and asked some nurses to help her get the girl into a room. Kai stayed behind a bit to allow the doctor to speak with Sophia, eyeing his fiancée at all times.

Dr. Elizabeth: "I am sorry if this is invading your space, Ms. Weber, but are you subjected to any form of abuse in this relationship? I mean physically, emotionally, or sexually. "

Sophia (astonished): "Not at all. Why would you think that? "

Dr. Elizabeth: "What happened was caused by a severe form of stress. You should know that we can help you and that nothing will hurt you anymore if you report it. "

Sophia: "I assure you Dr., Kai is the kindest man I have ever seen. He can never hurt me."

Dr. Elizabeth (sighing): "I will leave you my number just in case. We will have another ultrasound soon anyway."

Sophia: "All good."

Sophia was settled in a cute room in the OB section, it was full of pink balloons with the name Katrina all over it. Kai asked if he could enter before sliding himself on the bed's edge beside Sophia while hugging her with a hand on her belly.

Dr. Elizabeth: "Excuse us, we didn't have time to remove the decorations."

Sophia: "It's fine. They are lovely."

Dr. Elizabeth: "Can take some ideas for yours. Anyway, I will excuse myself and you should just press this button if you need anything. "

Sophia: "Thank you, Dr."

Kai: "I am so happy you are okay, Soph. I was terrified."

Sophia: "The most important thing is that they are both fine."

Kai: "But, what happened back there, Soph? Why you all keep saying that you were stressed? did anything bother you?"

Sophia remained silent. She didn't know how Kai would react to such a horrible revelation. His own mother was trying to destroy his life and almost did twice. She was about to tell him, but was interrupted by the cries of a baby ringing from a nearby room. She looked at Kai to find him smiling widely at the thought of hearing his own baby soon. He slowly slid down to kiss her belly.

Kai: "I can't wait to hear yours. I am sure everything will be more than fine the moment they are here."

Sophia (smiling): "Soon, sweetie."

Kai: "Yeah, Karl and Stella."

Sophia: "Katrina sounds like a good name too."

Kai: "We might want to take a tour around here asking for babies' names."

Sophia: "You go ahead. I am quite on the edge for that."

Kai: "Why Soph? You still aren't telling me what stresses you out that much. "

Sophia: "Nothing, Kai. I guess I was just ... exhausted."
