**It's the early hours of the night, Carina is breastfeeding Niccolas and Maya is sitting in her bed with dozens of pillows behind her back.. she slowly starts feeling like she's going to faint again**
1h58 am.
Maya : I still don't feel good babe!
Carina : yep , I have no choice but to
Maya : I want to be admitted into the hospital again babe ! I feel weaker than I did on Thursday night when we discovered that I had iron deficiency..
Carina : alright I'm calling Andrew so he can hopefully..
Santiago : don't... we'll take care of everyone, go .. momma !
**Carina and Maya headed to the hospital and this time Maya is admitted in for two weeks at least **
Carina: Addison please run every test imaginable on Maya and on Charlotte please!
Addison : I will, first with an ultrasound..
Carina: everything will be fine babe , we are at the right place... I'm not going anywhere..
Addison : hrmmm ! Ahhh !
Carina: what ? Addie , tell me !
Addison : Your baby girl is measuring small so I'd love to ummm !
Maya: what is going on with Charlotte?
Addison : nothing is going on but she's measuring a little smaller than she is supposed to be at eight weeks... Oh shoot hang on I'm being paged ...
Maya : I'm legitimately scared to death to suffer from a miscarriage or something else..
Carina : don't worry about it... you've been low on iron for a while.. and your blood pressure is low too that's why you've been fainting a lot... it's just that..
2h58 am
Maya : After Tomorrow is Valentine's Day , and we'll be stuck here! I'm so sorry babe!
Carina: hey hey , it's okay, I don't mind being here with you for Valentine's Day.
All I care about is having a healthy wife and a healthy daughter... the rest is not important to me... okay ?
Maya : but I had a really good day planned for you and I babe .
Carina: my love, I love you for doing that I really really do... but what's the most important thing right now is that you are getting the medicine that you need to get better. Okay ?
Maya : okay ... I fear I'll be here for a month or two...
Carina: why ?
Maya : because I just know that it's what Addison is going to say in a few minutes... at least when I'll finally go home I'll officially be in my second trimester.
Carina: and what are your thoughts on maybe having to stay here for a month or two?
Maya : confided to the hospital bed ?
I'm not going to like it but if it's best for me and for our princess then I'll be okay with that!
**Addison came back in the room **
Addie: sorry about that... yea , Maya don't worry.. it's just iron deficiency and you will have specific things I will need you to eat and you'll be exhausted... and we'll keep you in here until your test and health is perfect!
I'm afraid I'm going to have to have you stay in the hospital for at least two months... just to monitor you and Charlotte's growth..
Maya : alright...
Carina: your instincts were correct babe!
Addison : I know it's not what you wanted to hear Maya... I'm going to say that you have to stay here for at least a month, two at the latest. But we'll start with one month.
Maya : if it's what I have to do to make sure she's happy and healthy and growing just like she's supposed to then there's nothing I can do about it but stay . I'm okay with that. Thank you!
Carina: can we have a private room so we can see our children please ?
Addison : oh absolutely.. I'll check if it's available and wheel Maya in ..
Carina: alright thanks so much for letting us have the opportunity to still see our children..
Addison : it's my pleasure!
