Lurking Underneath

Chapter 21: Arriving at Hospital

Bayley POV: I was rubbing her back as she was just throwing up everything that i guess she ate. After a while she leaned back against the backseat so she must've been very exhausted i asked Mercedes if she was done in which she nodded weakly. I grabbed the bucket opened the back seat window and chucked out the vomit, then i grabbed another water bottle and rinsed it out. I closed the window and put the bucket next to Mercedes just in case she had to puke again, and I went next to her. I sat next to my fiancé who was trying to sleep but the road was bumpy, so her back of the head kept hitting the backseats I decided to wrap my arms around her, but she flinched "I'm sorry babe. I didn't mean to scare you." "It-it's okay." She said as she was trying to keep herself warm. It started hailing pretty badly as well as raining and thundering which concerned me as the nearest hospital wasn't open 24 hours they close at 11PM but for storms like this they won't open until morning and the next nearest hospital was open 24 hours but it was an hour away. I guess Colby must've read my mind because what he said was what i didn't want to hear "Guys were going to have to stay off the road possibly till tomorrow morning. I can't see crap and if i keep going I'm sure the hail will be harder to the point where it may crack or even break the windows." he said. I didn't want to stay on the side of the road as i wanted to get Mercedes medical attention right away, but at the same time Colby was right as i didn't want us to get into a car crash. We pulled over to the side of the road but under a tree so the hail wouldn't hit the car as much "Might as well get comfortable guys. We're going to be here for quite a while." Colby said as he turned off the car. I looked over at my girlfriend who was sleeping as comfortable as she could, so i grabbed the blanket and covered her before kissing her forehead. I grabbed another blanket which i proceeded to cover myself and lied down carefully so i wouldn't wake up and possibly startle Mercedes and went to sleep.

Play Sound

"Pamela. P-Pamela." I didn't know how long i was asleep but i had woken up to Mercedes calling me and it sounded like she was crying. "Babe-" I was going to ask if everything was okay until I looked over and seen that she had thrown up in the small bucket. Luckily i had a rag which i used to wipe her mouth as it was covered in vomit "Are you okay?" I asked her as i was cleaning off the rag. "I can't sleep Babe." She said as i saw she was trying to cover her arms, but the blanket kept slipping off of her, so i asked "Do you want to sleep with me? I can keep you warm." She nodded as she started crying, so I helped her sit on my lap and wrapped the blanket around us "Pamela." Mercedes said my name "Yes babe?" I said as i looked down at my Fiancé. She didn't respond for a couple of minutes but since it was still raining and hailing, she must've not heard me "What's wrong baby?" I asked a little louder "I need to tell you something. I just don't want it to ruin our relationship." Mercedes said. Just as i was about to say something it started thundering which made Mercedes hide under the blanket, so i went ahead and got under with her so i can make her feel safe. "Hey what's, wrong. What did you want to tell me?" I said just holding her while making small circles on her shoulder trying to calm her down. I just kept holding her "I-I-I...I'm...Pr-" I heard Mercedes start saying but she kept crying as if she was afraid to say what she wanted to say. "Mercedes. I won't hurt you. I promise you know i wouldn't hurt you the way my stepbrother did. Whatever he did to you i won't do to you." I said. A couple of seconds of waiting  i guess she finally felt comfortable with what she wanted to tell me because she said " Will you promise me that you won't leave me with what i'm going to tell you? Please?" She asked me as she looked up at me, so I kiss her forehead then kissed her lips after saying "I promise." in which she smiled. "I...I'm...I'm Pre-preg...I'M PREGNANT!" She blurted out really loud and instantly started crying into my shoulder trying to find comfort. "Mercedes. Baby I am not leaving you just because you're pregnant okay." I said as i held her tighter as she was sobbing pretty much.
