A James Maslow Love Story

Chapter 12: The Accident

          2 Weeks. That's all. James had been away for 2 long weeks and you missed him like crazy. You keep playing the video he recorded on your phone over and over. Today's gonna be better though. Today, you were gonna be able to sit in your living room and record a Live video for James with Denise and Emma. It's basically a one sided video chat. He'll be watching it as you're saying every word.

          A producer called and said to be ready in an hour, so you and Denise got ready and got Emma ready and sat down on the couch and waited for them to call. Once the call came in, Denise accepted it and you saw James' face on the TV and saw him get so happy that he was tearing up

Denise: Hey James! We're watching every week and we can't even begin to describe how proud of you we are!
Emma: Uncle Jamie!!! I miss you and I love you and I want you to come home!
You: Hey babe *James starts to cry when he sees you* I miss you and I love you and I'm beyond proud of how far you've come in this competition! I want you to come home, but not until you win! *you laugh* I have a doctor's appointment to check on our baby boy or baby girl. Baby Maslow misses you too! *you stood up and turned sideways and James started crying a little harder* I'm even showing a little bit! I think I look like I just had a big breakfast, but Denise says she can tell a difference *you and Denise laugh*
All 3: Bye! We miss you and love you!

          After the call ended, Denise looked at you and asked if you were okay and you said "I'm fine, that was just a little hard for me to do" and you went to put your shoes on. Denise was gonna take your truck and take Emma to Build-A-Bear Workshop at the mall, so Mica agreed to take you to your appointment. Once you got into her little silver Jetta, you buckled your seat belt and the two of you were on your way. It was raining, so Mica was driving extra careful, but that wasn't good enough. You were sitting at a red light when a car came speeding up behind you and slammed into the back of Mica's car. "Caitlan, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, what about--" and then a truck slammed into your side of the car. The car that rear ended you had hit you so hard that it pushed you into the middle of the intersection. You hear sirens wailing as you slowly start to lose consciousness. 

          You wake up a couple of hours later and see Kendall, Mica, and Denise standing at the foot of your bed pacing. "What happened? What's going on? Where's Emma? Where's James?" You started asking questions left and right so Kendall climbed into bed with you and wrapped his arm around you to calm you down. Once you were calmed down, you looked at Mica and said "So?!" "Emma's in the hospital daycare... We've got a producer contacting James right now, but he isn't coming unless something changes... We were in a pretty bad car accident... They said you might lose the baby". In that moment, you swore your heart stopped. How could this be happening? "Wait, James isn't coming? Not even for a family emergency?" Kendall was the one to respond this time and said "He signed a contract saying that he wouldn't leave the show unless he was evicted or someone died. They sent Keshia home for needing to feed her baby, but she was evicted. There's a very slim chance that they'll let him leave".

          You sat there praying that you wouldn't lose this baby. You loved this baby so much and you and James were already ready to become a family. Kendall, Mica, and Denise had left to go get something to eat and to check on Emma. Kendall came back into the room and said "They're letting him come to the hospital, but only for 24-48 hours. He HAS to go back" "Okay" "How are you feeling?" "Fine" "you don't look fine" "I said I'm fine, Kendall". About that time, James came running into the hospital room with tears running down his face and grabbed you and hugged you and didn't let go for what felt like hours. Once he pulled away, he got onto the bed with you and wrapped his arms around you and the two of you sat there sobbing for at least 2 hours. "Babe, I'm so sorry I wasn't here. I'm gonna ask them to vote me off. I can't go back knowing you're here" "James, don't be stupid. The doctor said that as of right now, I'm okay and so is the baby. The only reason I might lose the baby is if there was more damage done than what they can see on the ultrasound. I'm being monitored for the next few days" and with that being said, you and James cried more until you felt like you couldn't cry anymore.

          The whole time James was at the hospital, he never left your side. A producer came back and picked him up and took him back to the show where he called everyone into the living room and told them what was going on and begged them to put him up for eviction and send him home.
