Married To Dr. Jauregui (Camren)

Chapter 13

"So how was school today?" Camila asked her daughter as they got inside their home.

"Well we had a party. I ate a lot of cookies and received a lot of Valentine cards."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah and I got a kiss too."

"Those chocolates are indeed pretty good."

Amber giggled, "No mommy. Not a chocolate kiss, a real one."

Camila tripped on her heels upon hearing her daughter's words. Luckily the counter was nearby, which helped her catch herself.

"Who was it?"

"Natalie" Amber replied with a cheesy smile

"Chief!"

Is the word that woke Dr. Jauregui up in the on-call room. She finally had gotten a chance to sleep after a seventy-two hour shift.

"What is it?" She mumbled as her eyes adjusted to the new light in the room.

"I'm sorry to wake you, but we need you in the ER."

Lauren stretched and let out a groan before throwing her legs off the bed and headed out, adjusting her white coat on her shoulders as she walked.

"Okay, what do we got?"

The nurse handed her a chart, "Bed three, Ms. Soto is seven months pregnant, and is complaining of severe stomach pain."

"Page Dr. Montgomery for a consult"

She received a nod from the nurse, then Lauren proceeded to the patient and pushed the curtain out of the way.

"Hello Ms. Soto, I'm Dr. Jauregui and I'll be your doctor today. I see that you've been experiencing pain the past two days?"

"Call me Jilian, and yes. At first I thought it was normal in the pregnancy you know, stings here and there, but I woke up this morning and it had gotten worse. I tried to ignore it, but obviously I failed since I'm now here."

Lauren nodded at the woman and began her basic exam. Her lungs sounded fine, so did her heart, and everything else seemed to be functioning alright.

"Well Jilian, I'm glad you couldn't ignore it because something could be wrong and we'll be able to treat it. Everything is alright with you, now we'll just check on the baby."

The patient was going to reply, but the OB/GYN showed up, "I was paged?"

"Yes, Jilian this is Dr. Montgomery and she'll be checking on your baby, I'll be back okay?"

"Wait! I'm not going to lose my baby am I?" She asked.

Lauren held her hand, "I know you're scared right now, but Dr. Montgomery is an excellent doctor that deals with babies and things like this. Is there anyone I can call for you? Husband maybe?"

Jilian shook her head, "Don't have one, he didn't want to be responsible."

"Alright, well I promise I'll be back and I'll be with you through this okay?"

"Okay."

Lauren dismissed herself and headed back to the nurse station, "Who's next?"
