Miracles Do Happen

Matt and I had decided to go on a weekend away, while we still could. With the baby coming and all. It was meant to be a relaxing weekend but that was shot down when I woke up on our first night with extreme stomach pains. Matt drove me to the nearest hospital where I started to bleed. That's when they told my I had lost the baby and sent me home. 

This past few weeks had been difficult, but tonight laying in bed something didn't feel right. I couldn't sleep it was almost like a nagging thought at the back of my head. As I laid in bed next to Matt a thought kept on going over in my head. Why wouldn't they have done an ultrasound and then a DandC? why? I sat up in bed feeling light headed my heart racing against my chest. I tried to calm my nerves and heart rate but nothing was working. Matt must have sensed I was awake because he moved my hair behind my ear before leaning to my side to look at me.

"Gabby?" he asked with concern

"I don't feel right Matt. I can't put my finger on it but I think it has something to do with the miscarriage. I can't breath and my pulse is racing" I told him panicking slightly

"Ok baby just try and breath for me, I'm going to throw some sweats on and we'll head to Chicago Med see if Will or Kendra can take a look at you" he said calmingly as he rolled over and got out of bed pulling he's grey sweat pants on and one of he's CFD long sleeved tops before throwing my old candidate one at me. I don't wear it to work any more but they're still nice to wear around the house.

I slipped it on as he came and stood in front of me

"Reckon you can stand?" he asked me, I nodded but then looked up at him

"I may need a little help" I said quietly as he pulled me up off the bed and slipped he's arms around my waist. He slowly lead me out and down to the car before he drove off to Chicago Med. Once we got there Matt checked me in with the ER nurse while we waited to be seen. He sat down next to me pulling me into he's side. It was about half an hour later before someone called my name

"Gabby Casey" Called a nurse as we stood up and moved into the ER with her.

"Natalie Manning will be down shortly until then I want to get you hooked up onto a heart monitor and I'll take vitals as well as medical history" said the nurse as Matt helped me up onto the bed

"Ok so you told the desk nurse that you had a miscarriage a couple of weeks back correct?" asked the nurse hooking me up

"Yeah we went on a holiday to my families cabin, woke up on the first night in the worst pain of my life by the time we got the hospital i started bleeding they told me to just let it happen and sent me home" I told her as she wrote it down

"and how long have you felt like this?" she asked me

"I've felt off since that night but tonight was the worst it feels like a panic attack but i know it's not" I told her holding onto Matt's hand

"alright, sit tight Gabby, Doctor Manning won't be much longer" she said walking out as I looked at a tired Matt

"Sorry for dragging you out here in the middle of the night" I said to him. He sighed standing up coming to my bedside

"Gabby. Never, ever. Be sorry for telling me how you're feeling physically and mentally. Sickness and in health right?" he asked me kissing my head as the curtain opened

"Evening Gabby, Matt. How you feeling tonight?" asked Manning looking up from her chart at me

"like crap. Didn't the chart tell you that?" I asked her as she laughed

"of course it did. If I'm being honest I'm not liking what I'm seeing, I want to draw blood and see if you're possible anaemic, I also want to do an ultrasound as scary as that sounds I want to see if you naturally carried out a full miscarriage" she said calmly and soothingly. I just nodded. The nurse from before came back in to draw the blood, while Manning said she had to check on another patient but she'd be back shortly. Sticking her head in 15 minutes later she pulled in an ultrasound machine.

"This might be tough and I'm sorry" she said before I lifted my shirt up and she squirted the gel onto my stomach. At first she started with the screen faced towards her and Gabby was happy with that, Manning had been quiet until she chuffed. Gabby looked up from Matt and over to her

"What?" she asked a little annoyed

"Well i've figured out why you've been feeling off. Someone was trying to get your attention" she said turning the screen toward the young couple.

"See this empty sac. This is the baby you lost a couple of weeks ago" she said smiling

"This is baby number 2. Twins" she said to them as they both looked on shocked "well baby now" she said.

"So I'm still pregnant?" she asked Natalie

"oh definitely, I can see the heart beating so we should be able to hear it" she said hitting a few buttons before a whooshing sound filled the room. Gabby gasped clamping her hand over her mouth looking at Matt

"Is the baby ok? Cause we've done a bit of drink in the last couple of weeks thinking Gabby wasn't pregnant" he said looking at Natalie

"As far as I can see perfectly healthy" she said "but I'd lay of the drinking....... again" she said looking over at us

"yeah we will" replied Matt

"what about Gabby?" Asked Matt after a few seconds

"I'm going to put it down to the stress over the last couple of weeks as well as possibly some withdrawal symptoms. Nothing to worry about, if it continues for more than the next day or so come back in" she said

"Continue taking whatever vitamins you where on before and definitely book to see you OBGYN" she said before sighing off on the papers

"Matt sign these and you two can go home" she said as Matt signed off and helped me stand up. He looked down at me and smiled

"We're still pregnant" I said shocked

"tell me about it" he said shocked as well.

"So I guess I'm bumping to ambo or Arson" I said to him leaning up to kiss him

"most definitely" he said after pulling back. We walked out of the ER and headed back home. We where fast asleep even before our heads hit the pillows.
