Joel and Moriah arrived at the hospital within minutes. She was immediately wheeled away to get an x-ray on her now purple shin.
Joel sat in the waiting room for Radiology for about 30 minutes when he went to see what was taking so long.
"It looks like, because of her age, they need to confirm a few possibilities before they use the X-Ray." The secretary said. "It could be another 30 minutes to an hour before they start the procedure."
Joel nodded and sat down. He decided to text his mother to tell her what was going on. His mind began to wander and before he knew it, They wheeled Moriah out of the room to Joel. The first thing Joel noticed was that Moriah was sobbing. But Joel knew that these weren't sad tears. Moriah was smiling more than he'd seen her in a while.
"Joely" *sniff* *laugh* "I'm pregnant!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Helen had finally got the kids to sleep and decided to have some time for herself. She turned on the Tv and started channel surfing. She finally decided on a late-night sermon. As she was watching, she heard something outside.
She looked out, but didn't see anything besides a car outside. Thinking nothing of it, she went back to the couch. She received a text from Joel
J: Moriah broke her leg in three places. We're going to be here a while.
H: How on earth did she do that by slipping on a bath toy?
J: No clue 😅
H: Ok, keep me posted.
Helen put her phone down and decided to go to bed herself.
It had been a long night.
~~~~~~~~~~~
At the hospital, Moriah had been placed in a cast and was now in a hospital room. The doctors were going to keep her overnight to make sure the breaks had started healing properly. Joel decided to stay the night there because she's just be coming home the next day.
Because she was pregnant, she was going to have a wheel chair, not crutches. Not to mention she'd be in the cast for the next 6 months.
The next morning was quite chaotic. First, the pharmacist got her meds wrong, then the doctors messed her file up with another patient needing surgery on her leg, which scared them both to death. After everything was sorted out, Moriah was discharged from the hospital and they went home.
On they way, they ran into traffic from a car accident that was over 4 miles away. Joel and Moriah were silent for a while, before Moriah broke the ice.
"I can't believe I'm pregnant again. I thought Sydney would be our only one!"
(HOLD UP!! BACKGROUND!!)
*****Three years ago*******
Joel and Moriah were in the doctors office for the fifth time this month. Moriah had found out she wasn't able to have children very easily. The chances were close to 1 in 1,000,000.
They started to go through infertility medicines and such like that. Thank appointment was different though. Moriah was actually showing signs of pregnancy since the last round of medicine.
This was just to confirm the at home test they'd taken earlier in the week.
The doctor came back in the room.
"Well, I have good news, and I have bad news. And they're both tied so I'll tell you them both. So first and foremost, Congratulations, you're pregnant!"
Moriah breathed out a huge breath she seemed to be holding in forever. Joel knew she was pregnant, he wanted to hear the bad news. Was the baby ok? Was Moriah ok?
"The next bit? Well, this was your like, 0.01% chance of getting pregnant. So with this pregnancy you will have to stay perfectly aware of your activities, and basically all of the aspects of your life. Because there isn't much of a chance it'll happen again."
Joel didn't think Moriah heard what the doctor had said. She was so happy she would have a child of their own. Regardless of the fact it might be their only one, she was content with this one.
"We'll be careful. Thank you." Joel said, stifling a laugh. And with that the doctor left the room.
Sydney was in the making
*****END OF BACKGROUND****
******PRESENT*******
As Joel and Moriah were driving home, They were talking about how They'd found out Sydney was in the way.
"I can't believe We get another one! Sydney will be so excited!" Moriah said, so happy.
"It was a shock to me too when I had first found out." Joel said with a smile.
"Wait, what? 'You first found out'? Are you saying you've known for a while I was pregnant" Moriah said, suddenly very aggravated.
"In a way....I guess, it was still when you were, you know, not you."
"And when did you find out?"
"About a week ago. I had my mother take baby Moriah to take an at home test last Tuesday."
"And 'baby' Moriah", she said belligerently, "has been gone for what, three days?! And you waited till I broke my LEG for the DOCTOR to tell me?!"
Moriah was now silent. She looked completely ticked off.
Joel sighed.
He'd messed up.
