Home/Shawn Mendes

Part 115

Shawn:

🌸2 months later🌸

Maya is now already 6 months pregnant with our little baby. We don't want to go for a check to see what the gender is, just to keep it a surprise.

"Shawn?" I heard her yelling my name as she came in through the door. "I'm in here darling!" I yelled and hear her jogging up the stairs. "Where is here?" She laughed and I walked out of the empty room. "Oh, wow. I could get use to coming home to this." She said, walking closer to me and pulling me closer to her as she curled her fingers around the hem of my jean.

"Funny." I said sarcastically and she laughed, pecking my lips. "What exactly are you doing?" She asked and I smiled, taking her hand in mine and opening the door to the room again.

"I've started preparing." I said and she gasped loudly as she laughed, walking into the room. I was busy painting the walls when she came home. "This is so nice of you. You're going to be the best dad in the world." She said, wrapping her arms around my neck as I placed my hands loosely down on her waist.

"All for you. And for my baby." I said and she turned to look at the walls again and the baby things standing in the corner of the room.

I wrapped my arms around her from behind and placed my hands down on her belly. "This is still so surreal for me. Like it's all just a dream I'm about to wake up to." I whispered to her.

She turned around and smiled at me, but that faded.. as my world then also almost fell apart.

"Maya!" I yelled as she crouched down to the floor in a scream of pain. She was gripping onto my hand. "Maya baby what's going on!" I asked, worrying about her.

"Shawn something's wrong." She started crying and I grabbed my shirt before picking her up and running downstairs with her.

We can't lose this one too.
Not now.

I placed her down in the passenger seat of my car and as I ran to the other side I quickly pulled my shirt over my head and jumped in.

"Aaah!" She screamed, holding on to her belly. "Darling please hold on. We're almost there." I said, grabbing her hand in mine and she squeezed it out on me. The pain she's having.

I got to the hospital and stopped at the emergency entrance. As I wanted to get out, Maya still held on to my hand.

"Maya hunny you need to let go." I said but she cried. "No Shawn don't let go. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm so scared." She said, shaking as she cries. "Hun you need to let go of my hand so I can get you out. I promise I'm not going anywhere." I said and she let go of my hand.

I jumped out of the car and ran towards ther side, opening the door, picking her up and slamming the door shut as I ran with her in my arms to the receptionist.

"Please. Please I need help." I said, letting a tear roll down my cheek from what I've been holding back.

"Quickly sir. Put her down." The nurse said as she came running up to us with a wheelchair. I placed Maya down in the chair and they pushed her down the hall. "I'm sorry sir but you need to stay here." One nurse said, pushing me back into the waiting room.

I sat down on the chair, my head in my hands as I felt my legs shaking, tears rolling down my cheeks as I waited... patiently.

"Mr. Mendes?" I heard my name and I jumped up. "Yes. Yes. I'm here." I said and she nodded to the side, gesturing for me to walk with her. "Please tell me she's okay." I asked and she only smiled faintly at me.

"We need to keep her overnight. And if things get worse, she'll probably have to stay till she's stable or even till labor." She said, stopping in the hall right infront of the room where they held Maya.

"But what's going on?" I asked and she walked into the room. "Mr. & Mrs. Mendes. I'm afraid I have some news. It's not the best of news but it can be kept under close observation." She said and I saw Maya in the bed.

"Maya!" I said and rushed up to her. "Shawn." She said and slowly sat up as I approached her. I pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her head.

Thank god she's okay.

"What's wrong with our baby?" She asked and I sat down in the bed next to her. "There's nothing wrong with the baby. It's healthy and growing to perfection. But..." she said and paused.

"Maya because you lost a baby before and because there was a time for where your body didn't provide sells to get pregnant, it's taking its toll on you. You're body is almost rejecting the baby. And what I mean by that it that, because you're pregnant now and the body is use to not having something like a fetus in its captivity it wants to get rid of what's inside by going in Labor. Therefore if you do, you'll give birth to an dead child." She finished and I looked down at Maya, seeing the tears in her eyes.

"So what you're saying is that, my body is not going to deliver this baby alive? That we won't have a child?" She croaked out and the nurse sighed as she nodded. "That's one side of it. Or, if we keep a close eye on you we can prevent that from happening but then your baby might be delivered a month of few weeks earlier." She said and Maya broke down.

I pulled her into my side and caressed her back as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"The decision lies in your hands." She said and I looked at her in almost disbelief. "Decision? As in what? Kill our child?" I asked and she nodded.

"You're a nurse. You're supposed to give us the options that help us not get the best way out of it. I'm sorry but under no circumstances will we lose this child. Not again!" I yelled and Maya pulled me back as I stood up.

"Hunny. Calm down." She said and I shook my head. "She wants to kill our child we-we can't let her do that. We tried so hard for this and now, now s-she comes with this crap! No. No w-we can't." I cried as she took my face in her hands. "And we won't. I'm not losing our baby girl." She said and now I was crying full on in her arms.

"It's a girl." She whispered in my ear as she kissed my neck.

I can't lose my baby girl.

"I'll stay. But I please need Dr. Reece to assist me because he's my doctor. We're going to deliver this baby, even if that is a few weeks earlier. And she'll be alive." She said and I heard the nurse walking out as Maya tightened her grip around me.

"I love you." I croaked out and she cupped my cheeks, crashing her lips to mine before pulling me into a hug again.
