OCs 2 - the Sequel

[Crisis: Julia]

Setting this up for whenever we go back to the powers roleplay... Also it was just interesting to write.

Julia couldn't stand it any longer... She cried quietly to herself, feeling miserable. She had never been pregnant before, she didn't know how she should feel... She sniffed, wishing Steven would hurry up and come back home.

Julia couldn't help but feel like she had let him down... That morning, she told Steven she couldn't work. What she didn't see is that she had proved her own point... She was in no condition to work. At all.

Julia missed Steven and after coming back from eating lunch with him, Julia almost felt like she had left a part of her behind. He was busy and she - the girl who started off as his secretary - was just being whiny and distracting from what was actually important. In the mood she was in, she was honestly sick of their jobs. She just wanted to spend time with her husband and daughter to be.

Julia felt like a burden. She also felt awful. She almost called Steven at one point, but she didn't want to bother him. He seemed intent about those stupid meetings today anyways... So she just cried...and cried...and cried... From moodiness as well as just feeling awful.

Chloe frowned, peaking in after recently getting home from school. She was worried about the closest thing she had ever had to a loving mom... She didn't think this was right... What was wrong with Julia?

Julia saw her and slowly stood, forcing a weak smile. "Hey kiddo... How was...was....scho-?"

The doorbell rang and she winced. Neither of the two moved to answer it. Julia just took deep breaths. From the lack of an answer, AJ just came inside and walked upstairs.

"Julia?" he called. "Where are you?"

Julia just began sobbing again. "Dad, I'm in here... Please come here... I don't feel good and I feel like a burden to everyone and I can't take this anymore and I'm sad..."

AJ ran in quickly. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Julia took a step closer, still crying, and then her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell towards him. AJ carefully caught her and picked her up gently.

"Seems like Adelyn is being high maintenance..." AJ murmured. "Come on, Chloe."

AJ walked downstairs quickly, carrying his daughter, and Chloe followed quickly. AJ buckled both of them up carefully then quickly drove towards the hospital. He had no idea what was wrong with his little girl, but he was absolutely intent on finding out.

As soon as she was taken back by the nurses, he texted Steven, not wanting to call the person he disliked so much. The only reason AJ sent him a text to come to the hospital at all was because Julia would want him. Chloe seemed sad and worried, so he tried to be comforting as the two sat in a waiting room in the ER section.

His daughter better be okay...

And speaking of betters, if his son-in-law didn't get here quickly, AJ would hurt him.
