Am I wrong

Responsbilities

I laid in my bed early this morning listening to the birds chirp. I heard mom leave for work. I think she was still upset with me cause she didn't say goodbye. Courtney tried calling and texting me all day but I didn't answer. Steven he didn't call at all which made me feel worse.

I felt a sharp pain on my side. I got out the bed and laid on the floor. It hurt so bad I held my stomach. I couldn't even get up. I pulled the sheets off my bed making my phone fall on the floor. I called my mom she didn't answer.

It hurt so bad tears was streaming down my face. I tried crawling to the door but every move I made I cringe in pain. I grabbed my phone dialing Steven he answered, "Michelle."

I could barely form my words to come out right I was in so much pain. "Steven.. " I caught my breath cringing in pain "I'm hurting." He sound panicked, "I'm on my way Michelle."

I hung up the phone laying on my back. Tears just kept rolling I was hurting so bad. The pain kept getting worse and worse. Steven came into my room he seen me on the floor with tears in my eyes. I looked up at him I've never been so happy to see someone. "Take me to the hospital" I groaned, he had a scared panicked look on his face.

"Can you walk Michelle", I shook my head even the slightest movements hurt. He carefully picked me up bridal style. I groaned, "It hurts so bad."

"Are you having contractions", I shook my head squeezing my eyes tight it was the only way to ease the pain.

"I shouldn't be it's way to early" He carried me to the car the neighbors were on their porches staring. Placing me as gentle as possible in the front seat he ran to the other side of the car.

I held my stomach and side It felt like I was being stabbed in the side. He got in the car putting on his seat belt. We drove out my driveway down the road to the hospital. Every once in awhile he would look over to see if I was ok.

I couldn't think straight I just prayed the baby was fine. We got to the hospital he carried me in the lobby yelling for a nurse, "I need help my girlfriend she's in pain she's pregnant."

Three nurses ran over one bringing a wheel chair with them. Steven sat me down in the wheel chair the nurses rolled me down a hall to a check up room. I looked back at Steven he had his hands over his head pacing back and forth.

Every time we were in a hospital it was never good. The nurses helped me onto the examination table. I watched as they hooked me up to all kinds of machines.

A nurse look down at me shining a light in my eyes she turned to one of the nurses, "I examined her pupils she doesn't seem disoriented." The other nurse nodded standing over me speaking softly, "Ms what's your name so we can contact your doctor."

I groaned in pain as I tired to tell her my name, "Michelle..umm..ugh Davis."
She nodded giving me a weak smile, "Where are you experiencing the pain."
I groaned pointing to my side the nurse nodded checking off something on a clipboard. She put something in my I.B to ease the pain after twenty minutes I was feeling back to normal.

Even then the nurse still poked me with needles running extra tests on me. My doctor came in she looked at me worriedly, "The nurses contacted me right away are you feeling better." I smiled at her, "Yes I feel fine I was just having this really bad pain in my right side". She nodded checking her clipboard, "Have you been taking you daily vitamins I prescribe Michelle" I bit my lip, "Umm I've might...have skipped a day or two"

She tilted her glasses down giving me a stern look sitting down next to me, "Look Michelle you have to take this serious your dealing with another human being inside of you. You have to take those vitamins for yourself and the baby health."

She sounded like a actual caring mom at that point I knew I missed my mom. I don't get why she's been so crabby and distant lately. I understood what my doctor was saying she was right. It was time for me to stop acting like a kid and grow up.

I'm bringing another human being into this world. I need to take responsibility for my actions. She told me why I was experiencing those pains, because I skipped out on taking my vitamins for a few days. Two it's actually normal for pregnant women to experience that in their pregnancy.

My doctor also said I need to start excising that would help with me a lot in the long run. My mom bursted into the room with a panicked look on her face. Lately everyone's been wearing that expression I guess its a trend now.

She started babbling like an idiot, "Michelle I'm so sorry I didn't answer my phone when you needed me". Tears came to her eyes, "Baby girl I'm sorry for neglecting you for these last few days."

I put my hand up shushing her, "Mom I'm sixteen it was my mistake to get pregnant and not wear protection. I need to be held responsible for my actions". She nodded wiping her tears away, "It's just things have been crazy and I've been on edge a lot baby girl." She walked towards me smoothing my hair down.

I've never seen my mom this emotional before. Things must have been worser than I thought. Mom and the doctor stepped out the room to talk. After three hours under examination they released me. I had another check Monday so I would be back. I walked out the hospital trying hard to remove my hospital band. I felt horrible I've been acting like a little kid instead of facing my problems. It takes time to grow up people just don't grow up over night. Plus were all human everyone's bound to make mistakes.

Mom wrapped her arm around me putting on her brave facade she always had on. I admired her for keeping it together in front of me. But I wasn't a little kid anymore. She didn't have to protect me from every little thing anymore. Her facade didn't work with me anymore. I saw right through it she was hurting and scared about something.

I just didn't know what. I hoped she would tell me. Walking out into the lobby Steven looked at me standing up rushing over to me. He looked me up and down he had a concerned look in his eyes, "Are you ok Michelle" I nodded hugging him tight, "Yes I'm fine I just haven't been taking responsibility for my actions."

He looked confused then he shrugged, "As long as your healthy and the baby is too everything's good" I smiled at him he kissed me hugging me tighter. My mom cleared her throat, "Michelle the doctor said you need some serious rest lets go."

I didn't debate with her I was now fully aware of how important things we're now. Me and Steven said our goodbyes and we walked to the car. The drive home was silent between me and mom. She seem preoccupied with something on her mind. I had a lot going on to but that didn't stop me from worrying about her.

We got into the house mom followed behind me, "I'll start making dinner were going to the gym tomorrow morning". I groaned I dreaded going to the gym it truly sucked. I walked into my room carefully bending over picking up my sheets off the floor. I forgot when Steven came over to take me to the hospital I left my phone in the kitchen. I got up to get it walking down the hall.

I heard my mom on the phone she was talking to my grandma. I knew it was trouble when she called grandma. I heard my grandma say she's coming down here. My mom just started crying saying over and over, "I don't know what to do mom I'm afraid". This was me seeing a whole new side of mom. I wasn't used to seeing her in a vulnerable state like this it hurt me in so many ways.
