A Family At Last

The Drive to the Hospital

(Skyler's POV)

I run back to Rain and press my hand hard against her head, hopefully the bleeding will stop eventually. Ian stays by Jerome, mumbling to himself. I don't say anything, I just look at my hand. It's covered in blood, no wonder why Jerome fainted, I don't feel too good myself.

"I don't feel good, could you put pressure on her head?" I look at Ian. He nods and walks over. I walk out of her room and hear the ambulance. I run outside while they pull up. "She's in the first room on the right, please help her."

They take Jerome and Rain. Right now Ian is driving us to the hospital. While I sit in the passenger seat I look at him and his hands are shaky and are covered in blood. I am too shaken up to try to calm him. I just stare ahead. "Can I ask you something?" Ian glances at me then turns toward the road. I nod then forget that he can't see me. "Sure." He takes a deep breath. "What were you having a nightmare about?"

I look down, should I tell him the truth? Yes, I should. "I... I was having a nightmare about," I sigh and tears are forming in my eyes, "about you killing our baby." I close my eyes and tears start rolling down my cheeks. He pulls over, "What are you talking about? I'd never hurt... wait did you say our baby, are you... are you pregnant?"

I stare at my belly, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." I look up at him and he is smiling. "How are we going to take care of him or her? We don't have good paying jobs. What will we do when the baby gets sick?" I complain.

He leans over and puts his forehead on my forehead and whispers, "We'll figure something out. I'll look for a better job, okay? I love you and I would never harm our baby. I love both of you." With that he kisses me and then leans down and kisses my belly.

"So, do you have names picked out?" He smiles and me, "I was thinking if it is a girl: Dawn and if it's a boy: Mitch. I know you want the boy to be named Mitch you've told me that before." He smiles, "I do love that name, I also love the name Dawn, that was your mom's name, wasn't it?" I nod. He squeezes my hand and we drive to the hospital.
