13- Three's A Company

“She-ut!-et th-brill-” That’s all I could hear as I drifted in and out of consciousness. I tried lifting my head, when it just fell back down.

“O-ow, my head hurts.” I managed to say. I looked over at the paramedic, she was trying not to panic as my machines just kept beeping. “What does all this beeping mean?”

“It-um-well.” She couldn’t think straight, I guess she’s new to this? Then another woman began to speak.

“This one,” she pointed to one of the machines, “means that your blood pressure is decreasing, and this one means that your heart rate is increasing.” She explained them in a slower tone, which helped understand a lot better.

“Am I- am I going to d-die?” I looked up at the woman, staring her straight in her deep, brown eyes. She gulped.

“H-hi Amber. Nice to me-meet you.” I managed to say. She noticed my struggling and went to go get some medicine that I could take to reduce the pain. “Thanks.”

“Here you go, Miss Skylar.” She handed me a cup of water and two small pills.

“Can I ask you a question?” I really wanted to know how my mother was doing.

“Sure thing sweetheart.” She seemed so oblivious.

“Do you know how my mother is doing? A-and the baby?” I felt a tear going down my face.

“I don’t know at the moment, I’ll go check as soon as you take your medicine. As she said that, the regular doctor, Dr. Malcolm, came in with my cast color. He placed in on, and by the time he was finished, Amber had come back.

“Skylar?” her voice was pitched, “ Your mom is doing fine, but the babies-”
