You're Back

Not Again

          Michael and Hailey went into their room as the movie ended.
         "Our life is going well baby girl" Michael said softly.
         "It is! I have you, Sky and baby Peter is coming soon!" Hailey said with a smile. Everything was going as planned, and the two didn't want it to stop.
        "I know right?! There's a problem though..." Michael said softly, and Hailey sighed.
        "W-which is?" His wife stuttered out, figuring that it must have to do with In Real Life.
        "Uh, we have t-t-to tour in five m-months..." the boy stuttered out, and Hailey sighed.
         "I-I'll be okay... I raised Sky alone basically, I can raise Peter too. I have your mom and my mom to help also" Hailey said, a bit of anger in her tone.
         "Hailey" Michael breathed out, "listen to me, you KNOW this is my career and life?! I can't just PUSH BACK TOUR AND HAVE ALL THOSE FANS REFUND THEIR TICKETS AND WAIT BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING A BABY!" Michael started to yell at Hailey.
        "MICHAEL! WE'RE HAVING A BABY! YOU KNOW CHANCE TAKES TIME OFF FOR BROOKLYN SO WHY CAN'T YOU TAKE TIME OFF FOR SKY AND PETER I DON'T UNDERSTAND?!?" Hailey yelled out, tears welling up in her eyes. Hormones were fully kicking in now.
          "Whatever" Micheal breathed out knowing that he was wrong. Hailey huffed and sat up in bed. She was starting to feel a bit off.
        Michael looked over to her, and sat up as well.
        "A-are you o-okay? I-I-I didn't mean to up-" Hailey waved him off, he wasn't the issue. She was worried since the baby hasn't kicked in a few hours.
         "M-M-Michael..." Hailey stuttered our nervously. "P-P-Peter h-h-hasn't k-kicked in a-a-a few hours...." the girl said, tears rolling down her cheeks. She didn't want to have another miscarriage.
         "Baby, try not to stress! That'll only make things worst, okay? Stress isn't good for the baby, he's probably sleeping" Michael said, taking her hand into his and placing a loving kiss onto it.
       "I-I-I know... b-but since I've had a miscarriage b-before I'm just n-n-nervous!" The girl croaked out, making her husband wipe her tears away. He pulled her into him and rubbed her back.
        "Shhh, shhh... I love you, okay? Peter's gonna be okay" the boy said soothingly to his wife, who wrapped her arms around him.
          The girl nodded and nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck.
          "I-I love you too" Hailey said softly, and closed her eyes. Just feeling Michael's warm presence helped her calm down.
         "D-do you want to go to the emergency room t-to double c-check?" He stuttered out as the two pulled away from their warm embrace.
         "N-no, I-I just... I'll wait until th-the morning" Hailey said softly, pulling at her hair. She was starting to stress more as time went on.
         "Hailey" Michael took her hands into his. "What did I tell you?" He asked softly, but more stern now.
          Hailey breathed out, and looked at her husband.
          "Don't stress" the wife told her husband, who smiled softly.
          "Good, now listen to me. If you want to go to the ER, we can? Sky's not home right now so we won't have to scare or wake her" the boy said glancing at the clock that read 1:45am.
Hailey breathed out once more, and followed Michael's gaze to check the time.
"S-s-should we? I-I-I do-" Hailey stuttered out, and Michael got up and started to put clothes on.
"Come on, were going to the ER" he said and walked over to Hailey's bed side.
"W-why?" Hailey asked out as she stood up.
"I know you won't stop stressing, which will only cause more issues on Peter if there's anything wrong" Michael said grabbing his sweat pants and a sweatshirt for Hailey to throw on.
"O-okay... I'm s-so sorry" Hailey stuttered our tears falling from her eyes as she sobbed.
"Baby, no no don't be sorry! This is our future child, we need to make sure he's okay" Michael said slipping the hoodie over Hailey's head.
"M-mhm" the wife stuttered out, as Michael slipped on the sweatpants for her. "I-I'm so fAT CONOR!" Hailey yelled out as she placed her hand on her stomach.
"You're not fat, that's out baby growing in there!" He said placing a loving kiss onto her stomach and then onto her lips. Hailey kissed back and held onto him.
"I love you" she said against his lips.
"Oh, and I love you too" Michael said and slipped on her sneakers for her to wear. "Come on babes" he said taking her hand as the two walked out of their house to go into their car.
Hailey held Michael's hand tightly in the car as he drove them to the ER.
"Let's put on some IRL music, shall we?" He chuckled out turning on the groups CD. Hailey smiled and listened to the music, as Michael rubbed his thumb back and forth on the top of her hand.
"I'm proud of you" Hailey said as she listened to "Tonight Belongs to You" as it played. "My little rapper turning into a singer" she said looking over to him.
"Aww I appreciate it" he said as he pulled up to the ER.
"Noooo nO NO NO" Hailey screeched out nervous for the results. Michael sighed and parked the car and got out of the drivers seat and opened the passenger door.
"Out baby" Michael ordered and Hailey unbuckled her seat belt. Hailey got out of the car and held Michael's hand.
The two walked into the ER, and many people were waiting in the seating area.
"How can I help you?" A lady asked, a bit annoyed by her job.
"Hi, uh, m-my wife here... were having a-a baby and h-he hasn't moved in a-a few ho-" Michael wasn't even able to finish his sentence.
"WE NEED A ROOM ASAP! THIS GIRL IS HAVING A BABY PROBLEM! WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE BABY ASAP THANK YOU!" The Lady yelled, and last then a few minutes a nurse rushed out.
"YOU THE ONE WITH THE BABY?!" The nurse yelled and Hailey nodded, and the nurse and Michael helped Hailey onto the stretcher. "You her husband?!" She asked and Michael nodded as they rolled her into a room.
"What's the issue?" The nurse asked, and Hailey breathed out.
"H-h-he hasn't kicked in h-hours an-and I'm j-just REALLY nervous" Hailey said and Michael held her hand.
"Have you had a misscarge before?" The nurse asked typing in the notes
"Y-yes" the wife admitted nervously.
"Was the misscarge with your husband?" The nurse asked, and Hailey breathed out.
"U-u-uh n-no" Hailey said softly, not wanting to look back.
"Why does that matter miss? That's a little bit out of reach for this issue!?" Michael asked not really wanting to look back on those days with Jay.
"Actually sir, it does matter BECAUSE if it was you, then it's possible she could have another one. If it was with a different man, then the possibility could be less. So you have another child with your husband..." the nurse said turning her attention back to Hailey.
"Michael, yes" Hailey said softly. The nurse nodded. "S-she's healthy" the girl said.
"Okay, I'll be back with an ultrasound machine and the doc" The nurse said before walking out.
Hailey looked at an aggravated Michael.
"I didn't want THAT to be brought up" he said with his jaw clenched.
"I-I know baby, but it's the past..." the girl said softly, and Michael nodded.
The nurse walked in with the doctor who introduced herself.
"Hello I'm Dr. James and I'll be looking at your baby, okay?" She said lifting up Hailey's sweatshirt. Hailey nodded and watched as they placed the gel onto her stomach. "I'm sure everything is fine" she said and Hailey was not agreeing on that.
"I-I hope so" Hailey said softly, looking at the screen. She noticed baby Peter, but he was immobile.
"Well, he's immobile... bUT that's just because..." the doctor said
"BeCAUSE WHAT?!?" Michael yelled out angrily.
          Hailey looked at Michael and they don't know if they were prepared for the answer.
