"WELL?!? DON'T KEEP US IN SUSPENSE!??" Michael yelled out throwing his hands up angrily.
Hailey gripped onto Michael's hands tightly. She was also scared and angry that the doc kept them in such suspense.
"One second I'll be right back..." Dr. James said before walking away.
"He couLD'VE AT LEAST TOLD US IF THERE WAS A HEAR-" Hailey turned her husband's chin to face her.
"Michael... please c-calm down" Hailey said, turning her head to face him. "Please?" She asked again, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Michael let out a nervous breath and kissed her softly.
"I-I'm so-sorry I-I-" Michael was cut off by his wife.
"I know babe, just breathe" Hailey said softly, a bit annoyed herself but she remained calm.
Dr. James then walked in with another doctor.
"Does he have a heart beat?" Michael asked out, making the doctors looked at one another. They then turned to face the worried married couple.
"Not exactly" the new doctor said, and Hailey gasped and tears welled up in her eyes. Michael rubbed her arm soothingly, his eyes welling up in tears as well.
"Let me look and listen" the new doctor said, and started examining the baby. His facial expressions changed from worrisome, to a smile. "Oh! He's okay... I don't know what was up with the heartbeat according to Dr. James but your baby's just asleep!" He said smiling.
"A-are you sure?!! It's b-been l-l-like f-five hours!" Hailey stuttered out, and the doctor hummed.
"I mean, it's not common, but also not a worry. I would like to have you come in again in a week to double check. How many months are you?" He asked putting the notes into his computer.
"U-u-uh 7" Hailey said and Michael bit his lip nervously.
"What's y-your name Doc?" Michael asked, liking this one more than Dr. James.
"Dr. Jackson, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier" he said turning to the married couple. "Hailey, I'm going to need you to rest up, okay? Make sure to not add any stress onto yourself between today and the next time we meet" Dr. Jackson instructed her.
"O-o-okay. Uh, should I, uh come in sooner if I-I don't feel kicking?" Hailey asked, biting her finger nails nervously. Michael rubbed her arm soothingly once again.
"Yes I would" He said with a kind smile. "I'll see you in a week, Alright?" Dr. Jackson said before the married couple said their thanks you's before leaving.
"Michael..." Hailey said softly, and the boy looked at her.
"Yes?" Michael asked to her softly as well.
"What i-if Peter i-is gone? H-h-h-how will we t-tell Skylar t-that?!" Hailey asked out as tears fell from her eyes.
"Baby..." Michael placed his hands onto her shoulders and faced her. "We can't think like that, okay? If that god forbid happens, we'll think of something then. But for now, Peter's okay" He said and Hailey cupped his cheek nodding.
"I-I love you" Hailey said hugging the boy as close to her as she could due to her stomach.
"I love you too Hailey, so much" Michael said hugging her back as he rubbed her back up and down. "Let's go home" he said as he pulled away.
Hailey nodded and took his hand into hers as the two walked out of the ER.
On the way home, Hailey couldn't help but stress out about Peter. She knew it only made matters worse, but she wouldn't be okay until she felt Peter kick.
"Hailey, stop... stop stressing" her husband told her, as if it was the easiest task
"It's nOT THAT EASY MICHAEL! I'M HOLDING OUR CHILD RIGHT NOW THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE DYING, OKAY? AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT HURTS ME?" Hailey yelled out making Michael stop the car abruptly.
"OH SO YOU THINK IT DOESN'T EFFECT ME IN ANYWAY HAILEY?!? THAT'S OUR CHILD THAT WE MADE TOGETHER!" Michael yelled back to her.
"M-M-Michael" Hailey stuttered out.
"NO I'M TALKING NOW" Michael said still angered.
"MICHAEL!" Hailey yelled nervously, staring at a speeding car coming towards them.
"HAILEY SER-" Hailey cut off Michael before who knows what would happen.
"MICHAEL CAN YOU PLEASE DRIVE BEFORE THAT CAR HITS US!" Hailey yelled grabbing onto the passenger door's handle scared. She closed her eyes hoping that the two wouldn't get hit.
Michael gasped and pressed the gas quickly making them just miss the car by a lucky inch.
Hailey stared out the window as he continued driving the two home. The tension between the two was strong and felt throughout the car.
When Michael parked the car in the driveway, Hailey didn't hesitate to get out as soon as she could. She slammed the door and walked up to the front door.
"H-Hailey..." Michael started as he ran up to her, as she unlocked the door. She continued walking to their shared room. "B-b-baby" He said again walking after her.
"WhAT?!" Hailey yelled out looking back at her husband.
"I-I-I-I-I didn't m-mean to p-put us in d-danger I-I jus-" Michael stuttered out upset with himself.
"You weren't thinking, is that your excuse?" Hailey asked and the boy remained silent. "Hmm, that's what I thought Conor" the girl said laying in the bed without another word.
Michael groaned at Hailey who he thought was over reacting. He walked in closer to their room, and then stopped to listen to Hailey. She was talking to herself, well, their baby more than to herself.
"Please be okay Peter... I-I-I don't want to lose you... d-daddy and I love you so much a-and I just-" Hailey cried out to herself. Michael sighed as he walked in and laid next to her.
He didn't say anything, but he pulled her into him. Hailey cried into her husband's chest, as he placed his hand onto her stomach.
"We do love you a lot Peter, please be okay" Michael said softly to the baby. Hailey looked up at him, and sighed.
"I-I'm sorry f-for over reacting. I-I just I-I got scared but it was my fault I started The whol-" Hailey's rambling was cut off by Michael's kiss.
"Shhh babe, it wasn't over reacting... I was stupid" he said and looked at her. "I-I-I never want to put you, or our family in danger" Michael said, his eyes welling up in tears.
"I-I know Michael... but that was a REALLY close call..." the girl admitted and Michael nodded.
"I'm so sorry..." he said as he rubbed Hailey's stomach. She smiled at the gesture, and Peter kicked.
The two gasped and smiled brightly at one another.
"H-he's okay!" The two said, but Hailey wasn't 100% sure she believed in that statement. But for Michael, she had too.
