Nightmare

Chapter Fifty-Three

Dezzy

"We can't stop her labor" The doctor told me and Zack as we were wheeled up stairs.

"Will our baby okay?" I asked scared "He's early"

"Yes, he will be a little small but other wise he should be fine. You're only three weeks shy of your due date." The doctor assure me "But what I'm more concerned about is the scar tissue. It's blocking the birth canal. As I've told you, it will be a c-section delivery."

"Wait what?" Zack snapped

"Yes, Desiree has massive scaring and its blocking the entrance to the birth canal." The doctor sighed

"So she has to have surgery to deliver the baby?" Zack asks scowling at me.

"Yes, because if we allow her to do this naturally she will stand a great chance of hemorrhaging. I can't chance it. Her blood pressure is already a little high, higher than I would like. We need to begin prepping you. No sense in waiting for you to dilate. The sooner the better."

I nodded at the doctor terrified.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zack demanded

"I'm sorry" I whispered "I'm so sorry"

"Dez" He sighed but looked away.

A nurse and another doctor came in, giving me a spinal tap so I couldn't feel the procedure. I focused on Zack's face as they inserted the needle in my spine. Just based on the grim look he had it must have been a huge needle. I could feel the pinch, and then the coolness of the medicine as it entered my body.

"Desiree its going to take a little while for the medicine to completely numb you, but I will be back to check on you. Okay?" The nurse smiled

"Yes" I nodded and went back to looking at Zack.

"You could've told me" When the nurse walked out. "You should have told me. How long have you known?"

"A while" I whispered.

"A while?" He snapped "Damn it Desiree, I deserve to know this shit. Are you serious?"

"Zack what was I supposed to do?" I asked him

"Tell me." He snapped

We sat there in silence after that. I started feeling, well more like not feeling more and more of my body go numb. The dull ache in my back was no longer. Actually I was beginning to feel like I was floating.

"Zack" I smiled at him

"What Desiree?" He asked me glancing up from his phone at me

"I love you" I whispered. I felt really weird. Very strange.

"I love you too Dez" He sighed coming to my side "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just feel really sleepy." I shrugged.

"Do I need to get the doctor?" He asked me.

But there was a weird noise going off and the nurses and doctors came flying in.

"Dez" Zack asked me obviously worried now.

"Sir, we're going to transfer her to the. O.R now" The nurse snapped pushing Zack away from me.

For some reason I was struggling to breathe. My eyes felt incredibly heavy and I just wanted to close them.

"Desiree can you hear me?" I heard someone shout at me from somewhere
