Josh POV
"Colleen it isn't safe babe. That worries me " I say as I continue driving. "How long do they want you there for?" I ask. "Probably 4-6 weeks to write and collab and then come back a month or two later for some filming. I told them I am pregnant. The studio is providing me with a OB/GYN and a diabetic specialist" she says. "Ok that sounds better" I say. "Glad you told them" I add.
I pull into the doctors office parking lot and bring Lily in while I hold onto Colleens hand. Lily starts panicking thinking we are at the doctor for her. "Baby we are here for Mommy to see the doctor not you" I say to her. "She has a baby in her belly" I say rubbing Colleens tummy. Lily stops acting up and hugs Colleen. We get called in and Colleen hops up on the table as the doctor walks in. Colleen tells him about the positive pregnancy tests so he starts doing a blood test and asks her last period and calculates she is about 5 weeks. He then does her sugars." 17" the doctor says. "I just took them when I woke up and they were normal, a 10" Colleen says. "They will spike a lot more now. I would do them 5-6-7 times a day" the doctor says. "Colleen I think you need insulin now" he says watching her reaction." Really? I am terrible with needles" she says tearing up. "I think its safer for you and ultimately the baby and will remain more consistent" he says. Colleen looks at me with tears in her eyes. "You can handle it babe" I say reassuringly but inside I am dying. The doctor explains the two different kinds. One is a long acting one and one is a quick help insulin. I place Lily on the chair and walk beside Colleen as the doctor explains dosage and how to inject it. I hold her hand as we both listen. "Colleen was asked to work in New York but she will have medical help there need be. Is that safe?" I ask. "Sure. These insulin shots are going to help regulate her sugars" the doctor says. I sigh in relief as she smiles. The doctor finishes up and asks to see her one more time before she leaves for NYC. He wants the name of the doctors in NYC and he will send them a copy of Colleens charts. I grab Colleens hand with Lily in my other. "Colleen, Lily and I are coming with you to New York" I say as we stand beside the car after I placed Lily into her carseat. Colleen starts to cry and hugs me. "Joshua that makes me so happy thank you" she says as I rub her back.
Its a few weeks later and we are packing for NYC to leave the next day. Lily is down for her nap and I return back to our bedroom where Colleen is packing. She is packing and crying. "Whats with the tears baby?" I ask as I sit beside her. "Feeling tired, hormonal" she says looking at me briefly. I grab the blood glucose machine and grab Colleens hand and prick her finger. 26. "Holy shit baby. Do you feel ok?" I ask her. She nods but I run to the fridge and grab her quick acting insulin and run back to her. She is laying on the floor. "I forgot my other insulin this morning" she says. "Colleen this is dangerous baby!" I say as I flick the needle to remove any air. I squeeze a part of her thigh and inject it. I hold her hand and wait to take another glucose level.
