Chapter Twenty: He's not like that
Didn't have time to edit :( sorry in advance for mistakes!
Kim’s POV
“You’re sorry? Sorry for what?!” I can hear my heartbeat and I can barely even breathe.
“Calm down, please.” The doctor calmly rests a hand on my back. “You’re not pregnant.”
“What?” I whisper. “I lost the baby?”
“No.” He begins. “You were never pregnant. You had what we call a phantom pregnancy. You wanted to be pregnant so badly that you’re body told you that you were.”
“No. No I took tests. Three came out positive! Three!” I shake my head trying to process what he’s saying. I don’t want to believe it.
“That happens in phantom pregnancies. I’m so sorry.”
I nod, completely at a loss for words. I put my head in my hands while he and Nurse Nansy leave the room quietly to give me space.
“This can’t be.” I repeat to nobody but myself.
Niall’s POV
I sit at IHOP with the lads while checking my phone every few minutes waiting to see if Kim calls. I hope she’s okay.
“Good thing management didn’t say too much about you and Kim, right?” Liam suddenly asks.
“What do you mean?” I question. He completely avoided me throughout the whole interview and wants to talk to me now.
“Well with the baby and all. I thought they’d be yelling.” He shrugs.
I can’t even explain why him talking about her and the baby pisses me off so much. “Yeah well, they don’t have a say in it. My girlfriend, my child, our decision.”
“Don’t fucking talk about her like she’s property! You know she could leave you and you’d wither to death without her.” He snarls. What the fuck?
“I didn’t say she was property nor did I act like it. She’s not. You know that as well as I do. And yes, you’re right, I can’t be without her but she chose me already so get the fuck over it.” I quietly yell to avoid attention.
Liam stands up but stops when Zayn grabs onto the sleeve of his jacket causing him to face him.
“Both of you need to calm the hell down and talk. Not even just you two. All of us, together. When was the last time the five of us spent time together because we wanted to, not because we had to work?” Zayn lectures.
I look around all five to see them all with their heads down while Louis just shrugs his shoulders.
“Exactly. We’re brothers, mates. All this bickering needs to stop because we have a long road ahead of us and how well will we enjoy it when there’s problems?”
Louis once again shrugs and Zayn rolls his eyes. Liam sits back down, running a hand through his hair.
“I’m sorry.” I mutter like a child being forced to apologize, only I actually mean it.
“I’m sorry too.” Liam mutters as well.
We’re both only doing it for the sake of the band but we’ll move past this eventually. I know it.
Kim’s POV
I lay completely still on the hospital bed. What the hell do I tell Niall? This will crush him. He was so excited.
I page nurse Nansy in to have someone to talk to, not wanting to interrupt Niall’s time with the guys.
“Hey, sweetie. How are you feeling?” She walks and sits on the edge of the bed.
“I don’t know. I feel numb. I want to cry but I can’t.”
“I’m so sorry. Things happen for a reason. It just wasn’t your time to be a mother but it will come, I promise.”
“I don’t even know if I want to be a mother.” I whisper.
“What?” She questions, confusion etching her facial features.
“My boyfriend really wanted the baby. I knew I wasn’t ready, but I didn’t want to let him down. He was so excited. What if he leaves me?” I begin crying. Finally.
“Oh no, hun. He's not like that. He’ll understand it was out of your control. Don’t beat yourself up about this.” She says while wrapping and arm around my shoulders.
I nod, not bothering to reply. I need to stop crying. I have no excuse now.
“So why did I miss my period if I wasn’t pregnant?” I question.
“Well you’re anemic so it just messed up your period. We’re prescribing you some pills for that so you should start within a week.” She informs.
“Okay, so what about me throwing up blood?”
“That is something the doctor is still trying to figure out. It’s not normal but he believes it may irritation in the lining of your stomach.”
I scrunch my face in disgust. “Gross”
She laughs and rubs her hand up and down my back. “You’ll need to be here at least one more day because he’ll run a CT scan in the morning, until then, I need you to eat. Okay?”
“Sure. I’m really hungry.” I look at the time and see it’s almost 2 o’clock.
She smiles before leaving to get my lunch.
I immediately remember Niall and decide to text him. I get nauseous at the thought of him hurting or leaving me.
Hey, love. I miss you. I’m about to eat lunch! Come soon, please? Love you <3
I hit send and seconds later, I’m getting a call from him.
“Hey, babe! I was going to text you to see if you wanted food but hospital food seems to be better.” He laughs.
“Oh no! But I don’t want to eat anything too heavy, I have another test tomorrow morning.” I whine.
“For what? Has the doctor told you what’s wrong?”
My heart drops. What the fuck do I say? “No. He still doesn’t know, that’s why I have to get more tests done tomorrow.” It’s not a complete lie.
“Oh, okay. Well I’m gonna head to Liam’s room for a little to talk to him. You alright there?” Concern lacing his words.
“Yeah, I’m doing a lot better. The nurse is keeping me company!” I smile.
“That’s great! I’ll be there in about an hour or so. I also need to get clean clothes and I’m gonna shower before I head over.”
“Sounds good! Have fun with Liam! Love you!”
“I love you too!” He shouts and I laugh while hanging up.
I can’t describe the feeling I get just talking to him. Like nothing else matters but him and I.
I don’t know what I’d do without him.
He saved me.
