Life Changing

Chapter 64

The whole way to the hospital millions of thoughts were going through Sam's brain. Was Emily ok? Was Penelope ok? Was the baby ok? The state of Sam's entire world was in jeopardy. He knew he couldn't live without them. When Sam got to the hospital he asked about them. He had to pick and choose who he wanted to check on first because they were on separate floors. Penelope was in the children's ward. He decided to go check on Penelope first. He told the nurse at the front desk how he was. A few seconds later a doctor came out.

"Is my little girl ok?" Sam asked.

"She's going to be fine." The doctor said. "She was broken left ankle, a cut underneath her left eye, a broken nose and several other cuts and bruises." "Nothing that won't heal in time."

"Thank god."

"She's on pain medication so she should sleep till morning."

Sam went up to Emily's floor. A doctor came out.

"Mr. Ratsch?" The doctor asked going up to him.

"Yes."

"Let me put your mind at ease right now by saying the baby is just fine." "It will still be a normal pregnancy."

"What about my wife?"

"She has a broken right leg and hand." "Several cuts and bruises but she's going to be fine." "Your wife and daughter were lucky." "The car was totaled." "Things could've been much worse."

"Can I see her?"

"She's right down the hall to your right." "She's not awake yet though."

Sam went into Emily's room. Her face was covered in cuts and bruises. He sat down in a chair next to her bed. Twenty minutes later her eyes fluttered open.

"Hello?" "Hello?" She said.

"It's ok Emily." Sam said grabbing her left hand. "You're gonna be ok." "You're in the hospital."

"What happened?"

"You were in a car accident."

"The last thing I remember is the car sliding on the ice." "I broke my hand?" She said looking the cast on it.

"Your right leg's broken to." "Penelope has a broken ankle and nose but she's going to be fine."

"Oh god." She said with horror on her face. "The baby."

"It's ok." "The baby's fine." "It's right in here where it belongs." He said running his hand over her stomach. "The doctor said it will still be a healthy pregnancy." "I'm so glad you're all ok." "I've never been so scared." "I thought I was going to lose all of you." "I don't know what I would've done." He hugged her and looked at her. "I love you Emily."

"I love you Sam." They kissed.
