A Struggle Within Itself

Chapter 31

Genniffer's Pov

"Genniffer Goldenrod, correct?" The doctor asked looking down at his clipboard. He looked up for confirmation. Everyone shook their heads. "Hi I'm Doctor Alphine." He extended his hand to my parents. He shook their hands and then came over to mine. He stepped back and examined the room.

"Now I would like to just talk to the immediate family, but if it is okay with the parents everyone can stay." My parents glanced over at me and shared whispers between each other.

"Just the family" My mom said lightly. She looked at my friends. "Sorry guys." Brian, Jaylen, and Aqua walked out with their heads hung low. Everyone else took a seat in a chair. The doctor scribbled something down and then moved his eyes over me. He saw that my shirt was slightly up and saw that the stitches on my lower stomach was exposed.

"Ah yes I see that you discovered you went through surgery." He began. "The good thing about that is you wont have a nasty scar when your skin heals. How are you feeling?" I gave no response. Eventually I gave a shrug.

"Numb." Is what I managed to get out.
He took notes and scribbled it down.

"Do you know what happened." He starred at me and looked over at my family. We all shook our heads 'no.'

"Well you were two months along. So as you know the fetus was growing-" Treyvian jumped up.

"What hold up what do you mean two months along and a fetus! What the hell is fetus?!"

"A-a baby. Genniffer was two months pregnant."

"What you mean?" Treyvian thought for a moment. "Oh no Jaylen fuck." He said under his breath. Treyvian head for the door. He looked steamed. My father jumped out of his chair and chased after Treyvian. A loud slam was heard from outside the door. A little commotion and then silence. I started to look down and play with my fingers. Treyvian and my dad never returned. My mom stood up and and stood by my bed. She rubbed the metal bar on the bed nervously. She nodded for the doctor to continue.

" The fetus was became infected and it slowly started to die. Soon enough it had a cardiac arrest, that is essential what you felt this morning and all week from the stomach pains that your parents described you've been having." My mom covered her mouth and her eyes were watery. She began to pet my hair. "In other words you had a miscarriage." That word pierced me and my moms heart. Miscarraige. My mom bursted into tears. She fell to her knees and cried over my bed. I tried to keep myself together and continued messing with your fingers.

"How could this happen my-my family would..." My mom whaled and cried.

"Well the baby caught a viral infection. Or in your case Genniffer, food poisoning." My mind races at the thought food poisoning. I told them that is what it was. I pinched my fingers. "Which also explains some other stomach pains. But since you had food poisoning your body released antibodies to get rid of you stomach virus. However their mission went, as you would say, "off course." They attacked the baby instead. Eventually your body couldn't handle it and you body tried to shut down. That's why you collapsed this morning. Your friends said that they saw you fall on your stomach which isn't good either. The paramedics came and examined you. They gave an ultrasound and the fetus was dead by that point. This did some severe damage. We put you on a bed and rushed into surgery. We had to remove the fetus before anything else bad happened." The doctor shuffled through his paper and pulled out an envolope. He pulled out two pictures and placed them on a board. He pointed over to the first one.

"This was your oovaory before surgery was started." He moved over the picture with a pointer. He pointed to a white spot. "This was the babies body" I squinted at the picture and it brought tears to my eyes. I held them back. My mom looked at me emotionless.
