Sophia

Chapter 65

*Sophia's POV*

  "Dad I don't have to be carried inside," I tell him. However he doesn't listen he just leans down and waits for me to put my arm around his neck.

  "Sophia, you heard Dr. Beardd," He reminds me.

  'Oh yeah I heard him all right' I think sullenly.

  I wrap my arms around my dad's neck and allow him to pick me up. While he carries me inside I think back to earlier this morning.

* I had just woken up around six in the morning. It happened to be a good thing that I fell asleep around noon yesterday because the nurses checked on me every hour. Every stinking hour.

  However when I woke up for good that morning I found Dr. Beard being the one to check my vital signs.

  "Don't you ever sleep Doc?" I ask him as I stretch my arms high above my head.

  "Ill sleep once you are safely home," He informs me. This causes me to raise my eyebrows.

  "I actually get to go home today?" I ask excitedly.

  "Yes, but.."

  "But there will be rules." I finish for him.

  "Yes," he says smiling.

  "Give it to me straight Doc. You putting me on an all carb diet this time?" I ask in mock horror.

   "No, definitely not. You have gained the weight wonderfully," he says quickly. I look down at my stomach and put my hands on it.

  'Yeah, now I really do look like a whale,' I think,' Though I guess its a good thing that I had gained all that weight because without it my son could be in real danger.'

  "So do you want me to go back to my regular diet then? Is that the new rule?" I ask him.

  "Yes, but I'm also putting you on immediate bedrest." He tells me.

  "Is something wrong with my baby?" I ask him quickly.

  "Well not yet. But it seems you are in danger of getting preeclampsia." He explains.

  "So what would immediate bedrest mean for me? No getting up at all?" I ask him.

  "You can get up and walk around every hour for five to ten minutes, but no more than that," he tells me sternly.

  "For two months?" I ask him.

  "Hopefully, it is our goal to get this baby to term, and if you are lucky maybe you can deliver him naturally." He tells me. *

  "Two months will go by in a flash," my mom tells me pulling me out of my flashback. I simply nod my head. My dad puts me down on the couch carefully.

  "Where's Niki?" I ask them both.

  "She and Crash went back to her house to get something. They will be back though, they said they had something to tell us all." My mom tells me.

  "Okay," I nod my head. My dad hands me the remote and I flip on the television.

  Its on a national news channel, I'm about to change it when I see a picture of me.

  "Now an Update on a story we have been following closely. For those of you who haven't heard, an eighteen year old pregnant girl named Sophia Vaught disappeared from her home in Kerry County Ireland, four days ago. She was found by a trucker and his wife on a highway that is an hour away from her home." A newscaster women says in a cheery voice.
