Taylor's P.O.V

I lean over the toilet bowl and release watery liquid. Once I finish I lie back and heave out a small sigh. This has been happening for the last 24hours and I'm beginning to get worried now. I know that I have to eat for this baby that I'm currently carrying but I guess I've picked up what Sean and Mabel had last week and now I can't get rid of it. Forcing myself to stand I move shakily towards the sink and look in the mirror and it takes my breath away, the state of my face with sunken eyes, I look like I have been starved for at least a week and sleep deprived for just as long. "Mom!" Sean yells running into my bedroom and when I don't answer he begins to bang on the bathroom door where I am. "What baby?" I question through the door hoping it's not too bad. "I want to hug you mom..." he states making me smile. Even at seven years old he still loves to cuddle me, similar to Mabel who loves her daily cuddles while watching TV. "Okay buddy, go and sit on the couch in the lounge and be quiet Mabel is still sleeping. I hear him run off and I take a big deep breath. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through today, I barely survived yesterday but at least I could sleep when the kids did. Even at seven Sean still naps during the summer holidays, he's constantly tiring himself out. Dressed in a pair of pyjama pants and a tank top I pull Karlie's Cardinals jersey overtop and zip it up.

The moment that I step outside and sit next to Sean his mouth drops open. "Mom, are you okay?" he questions looking at me, but staring insanely at me really close. I place my hand on the side of his face and nod. "Of course honey, I just caught what you and Mabel had last week. It's okay." He nods but looks at me suspiciously and I know I'll have to watch him. He knows how to call Karlie and he has that look about him. He's so sweet but he can be protective at times and ever since he found out I'm having another boy he wants me to take insane care of his baby brother. So he thinks of himself as the man of the house when Karlie's away like she is now. She knows that the kids were sick last week but not that I'm sick. The moment that she hears that I know she'll be back so quick but I don't want her too, she needs to spend time with her friends so she's currently in Los Vegas with Cara for Cara's birthday. I was invited but chose not to go when we found out I was pregnant. "What did you want to show me?" I ask Sean as he looks at me still. "Sean?" I question waving my hand in front of him making him wake up. "This mom," he states holding up a picture he made out of glitter pens that were Mabels. "That's awesome buddy, when it's dry it'll go on the fridge." He nods and places it down gently and comes towards me. "Is Maymay up?" He questions using her nickname Karlie gave her. "I think so, let's go see. But quietly." I say as she nods.
"Uhuh," I watch him run ahead and I feel the familiar feeling in my throat and I know I'm about to throw up again. "Fuck!" I whisper moving into the kitchen and into the bathroom off the side of it. Kneeling down as quickly as I can while six months pregnant I bend over and dry heave, my entire chest hurts and the moment that I hear footsteps stop next to me and talking happen I know that Sean followed me. "Mama, she's sick." My heart sinks and I see him fumbling with the phone so as I have my head over the toilet I ask for the phone, he hands it to me and I switch it to speaker. "Sean, what's happening now?" Karlie's frantic voice calls through the phone and I sigh.
"Karlie, I'm sick." I state as Karlie drops something.
"Shit, when did you get sick?" She demands and I sign knowing she's about to lose her shit when I tell her it's been 24hours already. "About 24hours nearly 25," I mumble into the phone making her swear and I look at Sean who smiles. "Okay, I'm calling security and you my wife are going to the emergency room." I go to protest but the familiar feeling comes back and I hold the phone to Sean who tells Karlie exactly what's happening and I sigh. I hate the emergency room, it's where I went to when my labour with Mabel started early, like two months early. She was fine and healthy but I don't like hospitals and hate people rushing after me.

After I sit back and flush the toilet I hear Karlie tell Sean to answer the door to Mike and Tyson who are going to take us in. "Okay mama. Bye." He hands me the phone and goes and checks the side window like we taught him before letting Mike and Tyson in the house they take one look at me and say, "now I understand why Karlie was so frantic." I try to smile but fail. Tyson states that he'll get Mabel and I let him, Sean gets me a bucket once Mike asked him too and Mike watches me. "Want shoes Swifty?" he questions as I nod and try to stay upright. Once he returns we quickly leave and after only four or five hours a doctor sees us. He takes one look at me and demands an IV line of fluids, Mike watches on and Tyson takes Sean and Mabel to get McDonalds for dinner. I thank them but they are practically uncles to the kids so they don't really care. I get situated as the IV starts and then after I continue to throw up they give me anti-nausea medication similar to what I've taken in the past for extreme morning sickness with Sean and I know it doesn't hurt the baby. Mike settles back and I settle into the bed for the night. Tyson was taking Sean and Mabel back to his place for the night he told me his wife Sophia had beds set up and couldn't wait to look after them again. I thank him and he leaves after I kiss my babies, Mabel was worried and I think she gets that from my mom but Sean was happy and took Mabel's hand and led her away. I could understand her fear, I've never been in hospital since she was born and so she's never dealt with this before and she's only just turned five so she's a bit scared.

After the doctor does his final rounds and reaches me he says that I'm looking better and even Mike says the same thing. Less than fifteen minutes after the Doctor leaves the door opens again and Karlie's worried face sticks around making me smile at her. "Karlie..."
"Taylor." She states rushing towards me as Mike excuses himself.
"I'm okay baby..." I state as Karlie kisses me and rubs my bump.
"Are you sure?" I nod and she pulls back from me nodding, when she tries to move to take the seat that Mike just vacated I stop her. "What?" she questions making me pull her towards me. "Oh in the bed huh?" she questions making me smile and nod. She gives in and lies on her side facing me and she tells me about how she was so scared when Sean called, I tell her about how I knew the moment that I turned my back he would do it. She kisses my forehead and tells me that she's glad that he did. "Well we are happy and healthy now." She nods and presses a kiss to my head.  "You've got that right, next time...Well no, there's not going to be a next time because you're not going anywhere." I laugh and cuddle into her thankful that my stomach has settled down and is now relaxed. Our baby boy is also sleeping along my side which is actually comfortable for me; I take comfort in the fact that he is comfortable. As I feel myself drifting off to sleep I hear Karlie say, "I love you so much baby, please don't be this stupid again." I know she thinks that I'm asleep but as I think about what she just said I realize I put our baby in jeopardy because I didn't want to go to the emergency room, if Sean hadn't called Karlie I would still have been at home and gotten dehydrated and felt ten times worse and possibly miscarried if the baby felt it was under stress. But at least now we know that I'm okay, baby is okay and we will be going home tomorrow.



Sorry for being away for so long guys, i've been focused on my story instead of one-shots. I've only got one more draft left so any ideas you have drop them down below or on the requests page. If there's no requests i'll be forced to think up my own which will take longer so please help me out. Love you all, you're awesome. Hope you're all well.

Love Hannah.
