SHATTERED/Andy Fowler

Chapter 20: Unfortunate Event

"Good morning babe." I hear Andy say from beside me. I look at him and his messy hair. 

"Hi babe." I smile. Soon I feel nauseous so I get out of the bed and run to the bathroom. I quickly throw up in the toilet, hoping that this massive stomach pain goes away.

"Are you alright baby?" Andy asks softly. I look up at him and nod.

"Could you grab me some water or something please?" 

"Of course. Anything for you babe." He says kissing my head and walking out of the bathroom. While he is getting me water I begin to throw up again, the pain in my stomach and lower abdomen getting stronger.

The pain gets so bad that I actually let out a scream. I hear footsteps racing to the bathroom, and a glass drop to the floor breaking. Andy comes in.

"Baby girl what's wrong?" He asks.

"Hospital right now. No questions. Just take me now!" I say. He hurriedly picks me up bridal style carrying me down the stairs. My mom is the kitchen when she sees us. 

"What's wrong?" She asks. 

"I need to take her to the hospital. It's the baby." He says walking me out the door. Mom grabs her keys and follows. Andy puts me in the backseat, then crawls up front with my mom. Mom starts the car and speeds off to the hospital.

"Ahhhh!" I scream out clutching my stomach. 

"I really hope that the baby is okay." Andy says, fear laced in his voice. We arrive to the hospital, so Andy carries me in.

"Please someone help me. My girlfriend is hurting, she's pregnant." Andy hollers out to someone. Someone instantly brings a wheelchair. They push me into a room while Andy stays to help my mom check me in.

Before I know it the pain is so horrible, that it causes the world to go black.

-Andy's POV-

Oh God please, please, please, let my child be okay. I just got Athena back, I really don't want to lose our child. 

As Michelle and I are checking her in, Brooklyn calls her. I answer. 

"Where are you? Is everything okay? There's blood all over the floor from Andy's room, to the front door." Brook says as soon as I put the phone up to my ear.

"Hey mate, It's Andy. Michelle and I are at the hospital with Athena, I didn't notice blood, but something is wrong, and we think it might be the baby." I say my voice cracking a bit.

"Nobody move. I will be there in 10." He says hanging up. 

"He said he will be here in ten." She nods.

"I figured as much. Athena means the world to him, and even though we are divorcing, I know he will still be around." She says. "I just hope that didn't put stress onto her." 

"It'll be alright. She will be okay, and even if the baby doesn't make it, her and I can always try again." I say. "There's plenty of time. It's going to suck, but it happens. And right now I'm expecting the worst because Brooklyn said there was blood on the floor all the way from my room to the front door. Something I never even noticed." 

"Yeah, there's blood on your shirt too." She says her eyes wide. I look down and sure enough a big red blood stain on my shirt. I ignore it though, because a nurse comes out.

"Andy Fowler and Michelle Wyatt." She says. We follow her to the back, into a room where Athena is peacefully sleeping. 

"Good and bad news. First, Athena was pregnant. With twins, unfortunately her body wasn't able to handle that, so she miscarried. Good news, is there's still a baby in there, and he/she looks perfectly healthy. We did a few tests and a sonogram. She needs prenatals which we will prescribe her, and she needs some iron pills because she is low on iron, making her Anemic but she will be fine." She says. 

"So I'm still going to be a dad?" 

"Yes sir, you sure are. Congratulations. Come get us when she wakes up." 

"Hey, uh her dad Brooklyn Wyatt, will be coming up here soon. Could you let him back here?" Michelle asks.

"Yes of course." She says stepping out of the room letting us relax quietly. 

A few minutes later Brooklyn runs through the room door. "Is my little girl okay?" He asks freaking out.

"Yes. She's sleeping. Good and bad news. She was carrying twins, she lost one due to her body unable to handle it, but the nurse said the other one in there is perfectly healthy and that they are going to be fine." I tell him. He nods pulling a chair up next to her on the opposite side of me. 

He takes her hand into his. "She's such a good kid, and she's been through so much. I just feel so bad. Things are just so crazy right now, and I don't want her to stress herself out. Andy I really need you to promise me that you will take care of her, because Michelle and I won't be around forever, and she needs someone who will take care of her, and the baby." He says.

"Brook, as your best friend, I love her so fucking much, I want to marry her someday, and honestly, I couldn't see myself with another ever again. I need Athena. You have my word man. Your daughter is in great hands I swear it." I reply. 

"Good. Because I can't handle seeing her the way she was two years ago when you broke up. I just can't handle seeing my daughter in pain." 

"I can't either."
