TWEEN MOM

Chapter 16

          My eyelids fluttered open. All I could see was white and all I could hear was people cooing. Then I remembered. I shot up into a sitting position. "M-madeline?" I stuttered out. I saw Damon turn around holding the most precious tiny baby ever. He brought her over to me and placed her tiny body into my arms. I looked down at her.

          She had big happy green eyes and a full head of brown hair. Her lips are small pink, and thin and she has fair skin with a little pink touch. "Hey there little Madeline. I'm your mommy!" I cooed. She put her tiny pink flushed hand up and reached for my cheeks. I leant over and let her play with the tips of my hair and my face. I looked up at the doctors.

          "So when do I get to take her home?" I asked. "Well, we need to keep you here for a bit to teach you how to feed her, burp her, change a diaper and all the simple things then you can take her home. And also you need a carseat installed in the car before you take her home." the main doctor said and I looked up at Damon. "Mark installed one while you were sleeping" he explained to me and I smiled. 

          "Damon?" "Yes" "What was it that you said in the truck on the way here?" I grinned mischeviously. "Hm. I dont remember" he said after pretending to think. "Think real hard" I suggested. "Oh! You mean that I love you?" he said grinning. "Well, I love you too"

          FIVE YEARS LATER 

          I finished buckling in Maddie. "So mommy! I really get to have a baby brother? I get to be a big sister? But Katelynn says boys have cooties!" Madelyn jumped up and down in her seat. "Yes you get a baby brother. And all boys do not have cooties" I said grinning on the last bit. "Especially not your brother!" I said and started tickling her. She giggled. "Mommy! Stop it! Mommy!" she screeched well I tickled her. 

          "How are my two favorite girls?" I heard the loud, deep voice from behind. "Daddy!" Maddie screamed. I turned around and jumped up into Damons arms, kissing him. "I missed you so much" I said against tears. Damon had been away for a year, for his first year of university in California. "I missed you too, babe" he said and then I released him as he went for Maddie. "Hey there munchkin! Wheres mommy taking you?" he asked her. "Mommys bringing me with her to the doctors!" she said and I put a hand on my forhead sighing. I hadnt told Damon yet, wanting to surprise him.

          He turned around and looked at me. "Doctors? Are you sick?" he asked and was immediatly at my side. "Um no. Different kind of doctor" "What kind?" "Ultrasound" I said quick but slow enough for him to catch it. "When?" he asked. "Six months ago when you came up for the weekend. Look at the belly!" he sighed. "So is it a boy or a girl?" he said getting down to rub my baby. "Its an Andrew!" I squeeled and he grinned. He went over to Madelyn. "So you get to be a big sister!" "Yay!" Damon got into front seat and we arrived at the doctors.

          "So what do you have so far for the room?" Damon asked me while the doctor put the jelly on my stomach. "I painted it blue and I have Maddies old crib re-designed to boy colours and I have a few outfits - oh thats cold! Its been a while!" I squeeled as the doctor rubbed in the jelly. "How olds your first one?" she asked me grinning. "Her names Maddie and she's five." I said and the doctor looked up. "So you said your seven months along?" she asked looking confused. "Yes." I replied calmly and she stood up.

          "I need to go get the main doctor. I'll be back in a moment" she said then left the room. I turned towards Damon. "Damon?" I asked confused and he shrugged. "Probably just wants to tell the doctor how awesome a kid is growing in there" he gestured to my stomach and I grinned. "So hows school? I hope you arnt two timing me!" I joked and he laughed. "your the only one baby. Well, and the babies" he said and I laughed. "That is such a bad pun. Really though how is sch-" I was cut off when the door opened and a male doctor walked in. "So you said your seven months?" "To the date." I said and he nodded. 

          He started looking at the screen and moving the jelly around and he sighed standing up. "I'm so sorry. I- I looked and looked but.... but I couldnt find a heartbeat. I'll... give you a minuite" he said and then left. 

DAMONS P.O.V

          I watched as the doctor left the room after delivering the worst ever news. I looked down to see how Carmin was doing and she was sitting there like the doctor hadnt said anything. "Carmin?" I said and reached over to touch her sholdour. She flinched away from my touch. "Carmin, love? Dear, its alright." I said and went to sit on the edge of the bed. I touched her ankle, meaning to shake her a little but she kicked out and screamed at the top of her lungs" I jumped backwards from shock and the doctors rushed into the room.

          The scene must of been terrible to them. Carmin was laying on the bed, screams blood curling, and flailing her arms and legs kicking and punching whatever she could reach. Then it all stopped and she slumped forwards, grabbing her stomach and crying. Then she did something that made her look crazy, yet depressingly sad. She spoke to it.

          "Hey there Andrew. Its me, mommy. Listen to me baby boy. Their all saying that your dead but dont worry. I know your not. I can feel you. We'll show them. Just, kick for me and they'll check again. Okay baby boy? Go ahead and, kick... There! You kicked. I love you baby boy. Its going to be okay. I wont let them hurt you" she cooed to the dead child in her stomach. And thats when it all started.

          She wouldnt speak a word to any of us. Whenever we tried talking to her that we needed to get the baby out of her, she just leaned over and spoke to her stomach again. I had to take Madelyn back home and put her to bed. I called up Ryan and he answered the phone. I called him earlier and explained the situation. "Hey Damon, how is she?" he asked. "She's at the hospital. I have to go back to her so can you come over and watch Maddie? She's already sleeping but Mark is out of town" I explained. "Yeah of course. I'll be there in five." "Thanks"

          "Hey. Love? It's me, Damon. I need you to talk to me, dear" I cooed. "Andrew hon', its daddie! Kick for daddie... there you go!" she whispered to her stomach. "Love, Andre- the baby is hurting you. We need to get him out of you" I touched her sholdor and she flinched away. "Andrew hon'. I guess its just you and me. Me and you. Don't worry sweetie. In two months you'll come into this world and we'll show them! Right hon'? Kick for me... There you go!" she cooed. I got up. "I have to go home. Bye, love" I said and kissed her forehead then left.
