I was awakened by Alyssa screaming inside the bathroom. I immediately stood up and went to check what's going on with her.
Babe, what's wrong? Why are you screaming? Oh my god, Why are you bleeding? I asked her while she's holding her tummy.
Babe, si baby. She said crying.
I quickly went back to the room to get dress, went to Kassy's room and wake her up, return to Alyssa and covered her with bathrobe, carried her and went down to the basement parking Kassy in tow.
Nay, what's wrong? Are you dying? Why is there blood? Kassy said crying.
I'll be fine anak stop crying. Alyssa said crying.
Babe, you'll be fine, the baby's going to be fine. I told her holding her hand.
She and Kassy are seated in the backseat. I called Dr. Lazaro to let her know something's up. After i talked to her i called mom to ask her to go to the hospital.
When we're in the hospital, the nurses rushed Alyssa to the emergency room and asked us to wait outside. Dr. Lazaro came just a few minutes after we arrived.
Kassy and I waited, she's still crying.
Baby stop crying. Nanay and baby will be ok. I said also to convince myself that everything will be ok.
Tay, what's happening to nanay? Is she dying? She asked repeatedly
No baby, don't say that she's not going to die. I told her.
Mom and Dad came. Dad carried Kassy and Mom ran to me, hugged me and i broke down. I don't know what's going to happen. I've been fighting my tears ever since i saw Alyssa in the bathroom bleeding.
Mom, what's happening? Why is Alyssa bleeding? I asked her.
I don't know son, let's just pray that everything will be ok. Mom said.
We waited. Waiting for news almost killed me. I was just pacing around worried that there will be bad news. I stopped when i saw Dr. Lazaro came out of the room.
Kief, she and the baby are okay. I just had to sedate her earlier because she's panicking. Den said.
Hi Den, is everything okay? What happened? Mom asked.
Hi Tita. They're okay po. She's just stressed that's why. Kief, make sure she will not be stressed again. It will do her and the baby harm next time this happens. She said.
Is there anything we have to do or not do? I asked.
She just need to rest. Don't let her do heavy work and don't stress her, physically and emotionally. You can bring her home when she wakes up. She said
Thanks Den, Den when can we know the baby's gender? I asked.
She's already on her fifth month, when she wakes up call me and i'll scan her so we'll know. I will just check on my other patients first. She said
Okay. I said and she left.
Son, stop worrying Den said everything's ok. Mom said hugging me sideways.
It's my fault, i stressed her yesterday. I told her.
Is it because of Kassy and Chase? She asked.
Yes. I said. Mom, am I being overprotective? I asked.
Yes overly so but it's normal, you're Kassy's father and you're supposed to be protective of her. But at least control it, they're just kids who like each other. It's not as if Chase is asking you for Kassy's hand. Mom said smiling.
