I don't remember her but I feel drawn to her I think driving to the hospital. Walking in the room she ignores me and does weird breathing. She is in pain and it hurts to watch.
"god it hurts",she says wiping tears away.
I walk over and take her hand trying to comfort her. She doesn't pull away but I can tell she wants to.
"so, she grits out,how is your new girlfriend?..holy shit!!",she yells.
I flinch as she does breathing before it eases. I really hate her hurting. My dad talks soothing words to her as she goes through more torture. She is having my baby why can't I just remember her I think as she clutches at my hand and gasps in pain. Tears run as she cries and breathes. After another four hours the doctor checking her every hour of those four. She is finally ready to push. They put her legs in stirrups and tells her what to do.
Another two hours of pushing we meet my son. He looks just like me and my heart melts. The doctor cleans his nose and mouth out,makes sure he cries then hands him off to the nurse.
"okay Beth lets get the after birth out and check you for any rips",she just nods as she pushes out the placenta. I gag and my dad laughs. As he puts it in a pan she winces and goes pale.
"Mrs Memphis?",he says but her eyes start to shut.
"Beth open your eyes honey!!",he yells. Her hand in mine goes slack and slips from my grasp. Blood is coming out of her so fast it soaks the floor. She won't respond to us as he stops her bleeding and stitches her up.
"nurse!!!,he yells,we need more blood in here!!".
"what's wrong with her?",I say panicking. He just ignores me as they start doing stuff to her. Her face is so pale I feel sick.
"B open your eyes",I say cupping her face. No response.
"doctor please do something",I beg.
"were trying Mr. Memphis just stand back and let us work",he says pushing me away. My dad pulls me to him and we watch helpless as they do things to her. Soon her breathing evens out and her hemorrhaging stops. I sigh till he says words that make me suck in air.
"she is in a coma now. We will keep pumping blood into her but I can't tell you when or if she will wake. Talk to her and place her son by her that usually helps in cases like these",he says walking away.
My dad walks over takes her hand and kisses it.
"come on honey your son needs you. We all need you please wake up Beth",he says watching her chest rise and fall.
Suddenly my head hurts so bad I grab it and sink to my knees. All my memories flood back in and I start crying. My dad rushes to me as I cry out.
"dad what's wrong with B?"
"son your wife hemmoraged after having your son. She slipped into a coma. They don't know when or if she will wake. She needs you now more then ever",he says crying on her hand after walking back to her side.
I sit on the other side and take her hand. Kissing it I look at her pale face. Bags are under her eyes and so are dark circles. I need her so bad and I know I hurt her.
"come on baby we got a son to name",I say kissing her knuckles.
