I really want some pasta salad😩
29. Austin.
"Here, I brought you some coffee" I say to Rowan handing her a cup of coffee. It's been two days and the sedatives still hadn't worn off, forcing Rowan to sit beside Amelia on the bed, refusing to leave her side.
"Thank you" She whispers, and I lean down to kiss the top of her head. She falls silent for a while, and when she sniffs I know she's beginning to cry so I quickly wrap my arm around her, placing our coffees on the bedside table.
"Please don't cry" I whisper, kissing her forehead.
"I failed as a mom" She sobs.
"No you didn't" I tell her sternly "You're an amazing mom, don't ever tell yourself you're not"
"Eres mi amor" She places her hand under my chin, kissing my lips softly "Mi vida" She says quietly after.
"I love you" I lean down to give her another kiss and she wraps her arms around me tightly, leaning her head against my chest. She lets go and turns back around, grabbing Amelia's hand.
"She's so little, why would someone do this to her?" She cries "What if she doesn't make it?"
"No what ifs" I shake my head "She'll pull through. Remember, we made her and we're both stubborn as hell" I chuckle attempting to lighten the mood and she smiles lightly.
"That's true I guess" She nods. I walk to sit down on the chair in the room, patting my lap for Rowan to sit down. She does and I smile as she wraps her arms around my shoulder.
"I called that doctor" I mumble and she looks down at me.
"What's you say?"
"I told him to 'harvest a sample' so I went and gave him his sample" I shrug.
"Do you think we'd have a boy or a girl?" She lays her head on my shoulder, and I bite my lip to suppress a smile.
"I hope another girl"
"I want a boy..." She trails off "We can name him Mateo or Alfonzo or-"
"Rocket" I cut her off and she laughs.
"You can call my pregnant belly Rocket but that's all you're getting"
"Works for me" I shrug "But anyways, he said that it'd only be good for six months, if we don't use it by then, then we'll have to go back again"
"Well, how long do you want to wait?" She asks.
"Well, I want to be able to have fun before I get you pregnant again. Plus just got back together and I don't know if we should just jump right into having another one"
"I agree" She nods "I think we should wait a year"
"I think so too" I nod in agreement.

"Let me get you something to eat"
"I'm not hungry" She shakes her head, running her fingers through Amelia's hair.
"Baby, you haven't eaten in two days"
"I said I'm not hungry" She snaps, and I sigh. I sit next to her on Amelia's bed, wrapping my arms around her.
"Baby" I mumble, kissing her forehead "I know you're upset, but snapping at me isn't going to help. I'm just trying to make sure the both of you are going to be okay"
"I'm sorry" She sobs.
"I know" I nod, wiping her tears "What do you want to eat Baby?"
"I don't know" She shakes her head.
"I'll bring you some tacos, okay?"
"I like tacos" She mumbles, a small pout on her face.
"I'll be back Baby" I kiss her quickly, grabbing my car keys and walking out of the hospital. I get into my car and drive to a Mexican restaurant ordering two orders of tacos. I wait for them and pay, driving back to the hospital and carrying them inside.
When I get back to Amelia's room, I see Rowan on the floor outside of the door, sobbing her eyes out "What's wrong Ro?"
"I don't know" She shakes her head "They all came rushing in and kicked me out. They came in rift after you left"
"Why didn't you call me?"
"My phone is in there, I didn't have time to grab it"
I slide down the wall to sit beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her into my chest. She sighs heavily, and wipes her nose on my shirt "Babe" I groan and she giggles.
"Sorry"
"You're lucky I love you" I roll my eyes and she grins looking up at me. I lean in and kiss her lips gently, the door to Amelia's hospital room opening.
"Hi" The doctor is the last to walk out "Sorry for the scare"
"It's alright. Is she okay?" Rowan asks and the doctor nods.
"Yes, she's alright. You're welcome to go in now" He gives us a warm smile. I stand up and Rowan does as well, and I hold the door open, Rowan walking in before me.
"Mama!" Amelia grins, and Rowan freezes.
"Mi amor" Rowan breathes out in relief, running over to her and wrapping her arms around Amelia's tiny body "My baby" She cries "I was so worried"
"I'm okay mommy" Amelia giggles and I wonder how she's so energized "Daddy!" She yells and I walk over to her, kissing her forehead.
"Hi Princess" I smile "You had me scared"
"I'm sorry Daddy" She pouts.
"It's okay, as long as you're okay now"
"I'm hungry" She mumbles, and I hold up the bag of tacos.
"Good thing I brought food"
