Choices Between Us

Chapter 4~

I have been awake most of the night with a severe headache  and with nausea and I was throwing up every hour, my vision was blurred and I was puffy everywhere. I was retaining fluid. I know from being a nurse that this headache is because my blood pressure is out of control, they had started an iv medication called magnesium sulfate, which would help control my blood pressure and prevent seizures.

I completely refreshed my brain on my condition last night, I needed to know what I was in store for and just how serious my condition was. Doctor Connors had came in after my admission and told me that I had eclampsia, not pre eclampsia as he had thought, which made my condition far more serious. I could go into multi organ failure and possibly die.

I also knew that this was dangerous for my unborn child, she could die from complications that my condition was causing. I tried to stay calm but it was so hard. I needed some support, my mom was on her way, Kyle was sleeping in the chair across the room from me, and Harry would be here soon. He had texted me and told me that he was on his way to the hospital. He had increased security with him as he wanted to get to the hospital without being noticed at all.

"Miss Anderson there is a young man here, he is claiming to be the baby's father." Beth asked poking her head in through the door to my room. She was an older experienced nurse, which made me feel at ease that she knew what she was doing and how to monitor my condition well. "He is quite handsome." she added with a small smile.

"Please let him in." I tell her feeling my heart rate accelerate and the butterflies in my stomach come alive. I couldn't wait to see him.

She smiled and the door shut, my eyes didn't leave the door. I watched it open again and watched him step through the door, he looked amazing as always. Dressed in his famous black skinny jeans, long black coat, his hair was pulled up into a bun and rested at the back of his head. His eyes meant mine and his face grew into a smile. I smiled back but felt my body start to tremble, I was sobbing before he even crossed the room.

My vision blurred from the tears, I felt the bed dip, felt his arms pull me to him, felt his hand brush over my hair as he held me, I felt his lips press against my temple, felt the strength of his arms holding me close.

"Shhhhhh baby I am here." I heard his voice whisper softly in my ear, I could feel his warm breath against my skin. I felt myself start to relax instantly once I was in his arms, like the weight of the world had been lifted off of me.

"I am so scared for our baby." I mumbled between tears. "She is so little."

"Everything is going to be okay."

I felt him pull back and place both of his hands on the sides of my face, his thumb wiping away my tears. His eyes looked deep into mine as he gave me one of his famous smirks.

"You look even more beautiful to me right now with your puffy eyes and your red nose. I have missed you so much Ray......you have no idea." he whispered to me. "I couldn't get here fast enough."

"I am so glad you are here." I tell him as my eyes held his. "I wish I could kiss you." I whisper softly.

Harry smiles softly and me and places his lips on my forehead, kissing my skin softly. I feel the blood rush to the surface of my skin where his lips were placed.

"Good morning." Doctor Connors interrupt our moment and burst into the room. "Raya your blood pressure still hasn't stabilized. It is still dangerously high. I am going to increase your medication, I want you to be as relaxed as you can be. I am also going to start you on a diuretic, as you output hasn't been good since admission this will also help with your blood pressure. I am watching your kidney function closely. The only time I want you out of bed is to shower or use the washroom."
