Josh pov
Colleen is 7 weeks pregnant and is doing well. Nobody knows she is because we may need to terminate. I find her laying on the back porch laying on the couch with Jasmine sleeping in her arms. She sees me coming and smiles. "Hi baby" I whisper sitting by her feet rubbing them. "She just fell asleep" she says rubbing her back. "I can't believe she is nearly 5 months old" she says. I smile. "How are you feeling?" I ask. "Really good" She replies. "Will need to leave soon for the specialist appointment" I say. She nods. Colleen and I have hired a diabetic specialist that we found that specializes in pregnancy. Tricia told us about her since she still has friends in the medical community. She mentioned it to us after we had Jasmine and I have always remembered it. I get up and take Jasmine off of Colleen carefully and bring her to her room. I come back to her in the backyard and she is still laying down rubbing her stomach with her eyes closed. I watch her and stop in my tracks before she hears me coming. I see tears streaming down her face so I decide to cuddle her. She hears me and goes to sit up. I put my hand on her stomach and lay her down again as I kiss her. She grabs the back of my neck and cries some more. "One week at a time" I say smiling. She nods. She is struggling.
Colleen gets checked out by the specialist and they have her on supplements. She is doing great. Her regular doctor is monitoring her kidneys every week doing creatinine tests. We head to that appointment with the specialists findings. "Colleen your body is fine so far however you need to relax as much as possible" he says. "I make sure of it" I say. "Josh how are you doing?" Her doctor asks me. "I go back to the doctor tomorrow" I say. "This is a serious guys. I need you to listen. I know Josh is still in limbo and you have three kids already and you are healthy Colleen" he says. "I still think you should terminate" he says. Colleen cries and nods. "I think you are risking it Colleen. I care about what happens to you" the doctor says as he stares at her. "I know" she says. "I will make a decision before the 12 week mark" she says. He nods as she walks out of the office as I follow. She is crying as she walks through the waiting room and out to the car. I get behind her and spin her. "Josh maybe I should. Concentrate on you and the kids" she says. "Think about it. Its a huge decision" I say kissing her cheek. She is really dying inside. I know she will risk everything to keep it.
