The Unhappy Bride

Whos the father

Mike and I were cleaning the house today. I didn't have anything else to do momentarily. The doctors say the baby can come any day now, so I'm trying to walk and exercise. I was supposed to be going to Ashlyn's house today. Instead Mike and I went out to the Art museum. I haven't been in such a long time. I admire the paintings and different ways that people express themselves. Mike never understood why I loved art.

"Mike it's about how the artist conveys the way they feel into different forms."

"Whatever." He said as we held hands and walked to happy panda. I went to sit in the booth. Mike joined me.

"I ordered sweet and sour chicken for you." He said.

"Okay." I said as I began looking down at my stomach. I'll be glad when I have them I thought to myself. Mike brought the food to the table. We began to eat but then my stomach began to hurt a little. Mike noticed that I was having a bit of discomfort.

"Makayla are you okay?" He said as he came closer to her.

"Just a little pain." I lied, it was a growing pain. I felt like I was having period cramps times one hundred. Mike and I finished lunch early. I needed to go back to the house. We tailed a cab back home. When we got home I tried to walk to the room but my water broke.

"Mike!" I screamed as the pain in my stomach got worse. I stopped walking as Mike came to see what was going on. Jeffery carried my things to the car. Mike carried me down to the car and drove to the hospital. When we arrived they took me back. Mike called everyone. Dr. Cooper was here, so was Dr. Malcov. Mike came back with me. Sadly I wasn't fully dilated but my contractions were ten minutes apart now. I was only eight centimeters but they kept me anyway. Brice was here now.

"Kayla. Honey I'm so glad you're okay." She said as she hugged me.

"Hi Brice."

"So when am I going to see my god children."

"Hopefully today." I laughed. She sat with Mike and I until more of my family came. The pain was getting worse so I asked Brice to call the nurse. My contractions were seven minutes apart now.

"Makayla do you want to take anything for pain?" She asked

"No." I insisted.

"Well honey it's only going to get worse." She said as she left. Ashlyn and and my mom were here now.

"Kayla how you feeling?" Ashlyn asked as she sat next to me.

"Terrible." I said.

"Just wait, it only gets worse." She laughed as someone knocked on the door. Brice went and opened the door. It was Kyle. He came in silently and sat by himself. I couldn't take it anymore. I would take whatever they were going to give me at this point. I called the nurse.

"Makayla I'll get Dr. Cooper."

"Thank you." My contractions were five minutes apart now. I was in tears as Dr. Cooper walked in.

"Okay Makayla I think you might be having this baby today." She said as she walked closer to me. "Let me get Dr. Malcov." She returned with my primary doctor.

"Kayla are you ready?" He asked sarcastically.

"Yes." I said as they propped my legs up.

"Can we have the fathers suit up please?" He said as Dr. Cooper gave Kyle and Mike the scrubs. They changed and came next to Dr. Malcov.

"Okay Mike and Kyle I need you both to hold one leg." He said as he showed them what to do. Mike kissed me and whispered "I love you." Before he held my leg.

"Okay Makayla we're going to have to give you a local anesthetic."

"Okay." I said as she switched the iv fluid. I couldn't feel anything from the waist down.

"Okay Makayla we're going to need you to push." Dr. Cooper said as my mom held my hand. I pushed, it felt like my body was shutting down. My vision began to get blurry too.

"Okay another one just like that Makayla." Dr. Cooper said. I pushed but this time I felt woozy. I felt like I was floating and I drifted off. I could hear everything but I couldn't move. Everything went black. Dr. Malcov stopped and asked everyone to leave but Mike stayed behind.

"What's wrong with my wife?" He said.

"Mr. Austin her heart rate is slowing down and she's unconscious, we are going to have to give her a c-section, she's going to be asleep." Dr. Cooper said.

"Is she going to be okay?"

"Well she might slip into a coma."

"Makayla!" He screamed as Brice escorted him out.

"Mike shes going to be okay." Brice said as she tried to calm him down.

____________

Makayla was put to sleep. Right now her family is outside in the lobby while she has the c-section.

Mike was pacing back and forth across the hall.

"What did they say was wrong?" Brice asked.

"She has to get a c-section because she's passed out and her heart rate was going down." Mike cried.

"Mike if I know her well enough she's going to pull through and she'll be okay." Brice said as she cried. Kyle sat by himself and cried. Mike saw him and began to get furious.

"Why are you here?" Mike said as he pointed at Kyle.

"Because one of those babies-

"They're not yours, neither of them. I had the test done secretly. Just leave, I know you really don't want to be here, leave! You've hurt her enough already." Mike said as Kyle stood up. Both of them were interrupted by Dr. Copper.

"We have good news and bad news." Dr. Cooper said as she came out of the room.

"What is it?" He said as he walked to her. Everyone was listening.

"You have one beautiful daughter and one handsome son but-

"But what?" Mike asked.

"Makayla is in a coma." Dr. Cooper said.
