"Reports are not as I expected them to be."
"What do you mean doctor?" Erick asked immediately while I kept looking at her with a look of distress and worry in my eyes. His hold on my hand became firm, feeling how my body went stiff. Be calm Grace. Be calm. Everything will be good. I kept repeating in my mind because I didn't want to take more stress and worsen my condition. The doctor has told me not to stress and I'm going to follow it. She removed her glasses and kept them aside.
"Your wife's blood reports show her body is weak and will affect the health of your babies", she said with a look of distress on her face. My heart started to beat fast and a big lump of unbearable emotions started to form in my throat. My other hand immediately moved to my flat stomach when she said that.
"Y--you are saying the pregnancy won't be safe?" I stuttered while asking that question. She pressed her lips when I asked her that. The past once again started to flash in front of my eyes.
"I can't go once again through some pain doctor. I can't lose my babies this time," I said pleadingly while looking at her when she didn't answer my first question.
"Erick, please do something", I said while looking at him with tear-filled eyes. His eyes also became moist. He took a deep jaggering breath and cupped my face with his other hand.
"We will find a way. Don't panic, Doll," he said while wiping the loan tear, which slid from his left eye with his thumb. His words gave me hope.
"Grace, the results of the test don't look promising, but science has progressed a lot since your last pregnancy. It's too early to lose your hope we will find a way" she said with an assuring smile on her face. More tears slipped from my eyes when she said that.
"Please doctor, do whatever you want. If you want to do treatment out of the country where the best care and guidance is there, we are ready to do that," Erick said with the same look in his blue eyes. Deep down, we both have still not recovered from the past, and it still haunts us. I can't even bear to go from it once again. It will kill me. The doctor exhaled deeply while looking at us.
"We have the best treatment available in the country and I know a doctor who has worked on critical cases like this before. I would like to get her on board with us, and we have to do more tests to see all the possibilities of complications that could arrive during pregnancy," she told us, and I nodded my head immediately. More tears slipped from my eyes.
"We are ready for it, doctor," Erick said in a firm tone. The doctor nodded her head and then moved forward slightly and rested her hands on the table with a neutral look on her face.
"Mr & Mrs Villain, before we start the treatment, I want you to know one thing", she said in a firm tone and with the same neutral expression on her face. I swallowed the lump and took a deep breath before nodding my head. I could feel Erick's body going stiff from the way he was holding my hand under the table.
"We will do our best and will do all the things to make your pregnancy as safe as possible but you also need to trust the process and take care of your mental health," she said while looking at us.
"Parents' approach and mothers' mental health matters a lot. It will help you a lot in the long run. Be as positive as you can. Be happy and live life without any worry. You have to believe that this pregnancy is going to be normal and stop thinking about all the complications or losses you faced in the past," she said in the same tone, making us understand.
"I know it's too much to take in, but you have to understand this", she said while looking at both of us. We both nodded our heads understanding what she wanted to convey.
"We understand doctors, and we will do our best," Erick said with a determined look on his face. The doctor smiled looking at us. I smiled back at her.
"Before leaving, I would like you to take an IV drip. It will give extra support to the body. Don't worry, I'm just giving it to you because it's a twin pregnancy, and we don't want to take any risk," she said, looking at my wide eyes. I hate IV drips but I have to do it for my babies. She called the nurse, and then the nurse took us to the private room, where she attached an IV drip to my arm. I felt so much pain but I kept bearing it. Erick didn't leave my side, not even for a minute. He cancelled all his meetings at the office to stay with me. It took two hours to finish the drip. Erick called a nurse to take it out. At the same time, the doctor came to check on me.
"All done", she said while looking at the nurse, who nodded her head.
"Good," she said with a smile while looking at me.
"I have good news for you," she said, making me look at her with slightly raised brows. We both looked at her in anticipation.
"Doctor Schmidt has agreed to work on your case, and I have fixed your appointment with her for two days after, and until then, we will do all the tastes she has asked me to do. Reports will also be here till then", she said with a smile and made me smile back. It was indeed good news for us.
"Thank you, Doctor," I said with a big smile. She patted my shoulder and then left the room. Even the nurse left the room with her. Erick placed his hand on my stomach making me look at him.
"We will do everything to bring you into this world," he said while caressing my flat stomach with a smile on his face. My eyes were moist when he said that. His eyes held unshed tears in them.
"Just do one thing for Mama and Dada", he said in his heavy voice, and I felt every emotion.
"Be strong for us and it will give us the power to fight against all odds"
