The MidWife (Completed)

Chapter 23

Beyoncé

I handed in my application and the guy told me he would give me a call within the next few days. I walked out of his office and I looked at my phone. No calls or missed calls from Kelly not even a text. She probably lost track of time while shopping.

I walk out to the car and once I do. An ambulance pulls out and I get pushed out of the way. The doors open and they pull out- omg no! That's Kelly.

"Kelly!" I run towards the gurney she's on. "What happened to her?" I asked

"She collapsed at the mall" one paramedic said. That explains why I had no calls from her.

"Kelly stay with me okay" another paramedic said as we entered the hospital. They told me to stay back and that they would keep my updated on how she was doing.

I feel like this is all my fault. If I had been with her maybe none of this would've happened. I feel so useless right. I can't believe this.

After about half an hour later. A doctor finally came out. I stood up when I saw him.

"How is she? Is she gonna be okay?" I asked panicking on what he might tell me.

"She's fine, she's resting" he assured me. Oh thank goodness.

"Why'd she collapse" I asked

"High blood pressure which is not normal especially because it's low in pregnant women. She was also over heated and confused and disoriented when they found her"

Omg Kelly. My baby.

"What can I do to help?"

"Have her rest often, drink water, and make sure she doesn't stay on her feet longer then she has to"

I nod. "Can I see her?"

"Of course"

The doctor leads me to her room and shuts the door when I enter to give us privacy.

"Hey bey" she said looking very dazed.

"Hey honey" I stand at her bedside. "How you feeling?" I asked taking her hands into mine.

"I'm okay" she says "Bey I don't know what happened" she looks up at me.

I rub her hand with my thumb. "One minute I was fine and the next I wasn't" she opened and closed her eyes.

"How'd the application thing go" she asked trying to make conversation just so I wouldn't worry about her.

"They said they would call me in a few days" I answered.

"I know you'll get the job" she forcefully smiled.

"Kels get some rest" I say softly.

"But I"

"Rest, the doctor said he's not releasing you until your blood pressure is where it should be"

"Don't leave" she said grabbing my hand.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm gonna sit right here until you wake up okay" I assured her.

"Okay" she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

2 hours later.

When Kelly woke up the doctor gave us the okay to go home.

Once we did get home I helped Kelly who was halfway asleep I got her upstairs and took off her clothes and put her into something more comfortable. And I put her in bed. I got into some more comfortable clothes too. And I climbed into bed next to her and snuggled up close to her.
