Pregnancy (Before) -Mikey

Once again, you woke to the feeling of being sick, you immediately went to the bathroom, throwing up. This has been going on for a week. Mikey knew about it but he was the only one you had told and you made him promise that he wouldn't tell the other boys. You didn't want them worrying about you. He promised and that's how it's been since. Some days are better than others but you had assured Mikey that you were fine. That'd it go away the next day. He had made a deal with you, if it wasn't gone in a week he was taking you in. You had agreed. You were sure by then that'd it be gone. It was probably just some virus thing. It couldn't be anything too serious or Mikey would have it too. Mikey then walked into the bathroom. You tried to hide that fact that you had just throw up but it was pretty obvious. "It's been a week," he said getting out his phone. You knew he was going to call the doctors and then the boys telling them he couldn't go to the studio today but you got up fast. You instantly felt sick and dizzy but you ignored it grabbing Mikey's arm. "No, go to the studio today," you said. "We made a deal," he said. "You go to the studio today. Your schedule is free tomorrow we can go tomorrow. You get what you need to done today," you said. "But you'll be here alone and you're still sick," he said. "I'll be fine for a few hours by myself," you told him. After a little more arguing you convinced him to go. He went and got ready and then left. You went and laid back down. You felt so much weaker than usual. Your stomach was completely empty and it just made you feel worse. You knew you should have gotten a glass of water and tried to eat something but you just didn't feeling like it. You laid in bed watching tv for several hours. You had to pause the show you were watching several times just so you could go to the bathroom or throw up. Finally after finishing the rest of the season you were on you got up and got a glass of water. You still felt terrible but you needed to get something in your stomach. You drank the water and then started to walk back to your room. You weren't able to get back to your room though. Your head was spinning. You sat down on the couch. It was the closest thing to you. You stayed there. Everything was completely off. You wanted to call Mikey. You wanted him to come home but your phone was in the room. You couldn't move. You sat there for what seemed like forever. The pain in your head slowly started fading. You stomach and throat still hurt. You got up and went back to the kitchen to get another glass of water. You stood in front of the sink and drank another glass of water. You filled another glass and you turned to walk out of the kitchen. You heard the door open and you turned but at the same time everything went black and you felt your body going down. You heard the glass break and then everything went silent. You woke up in the hospital. You started freaking out. You had tears rolling down you face and the more you tried to remember what happened the more you freaked out. Next thing you know, you're being pulled into someone and being shushed. You held onto him tightly instantly recognizing who it was. "You'll be okay. Everything is okay," Mikey said in your ear. You held onto him tightly. "W-what happened?" you asked him looking up at him. "I came home and I heard you fall as soon as I opened the door. I rushed to see what happened and you were out cold on the ground. There was glass all around you. I picked you up and carried you out to the car and brought you here," he said. You looked down. "I knew I should have brought you to the doctors today. I shouldn't have gone to the studio," he started. "No, this is my fault. I shouldn't have convinced you to go. I should have let you take me to the doctors even though I never wanted to, I still should have let you. If I did we wouldn't be in this mess, we would have stopped it already," you said. He was shaking his head, "I still went and I didn't have to. I should have at least stayed home just in case something happened. Something like this." You buried your head back into his chest. Right now all you needed was him and then you felt his breathing growing uneven. More and more every second. You looked up and see tears rolling down his cheeks. "Don't cry, Mikey. I'm alright," you told him wiping his tears away. "What would have happened if I didn't come home at the time. How long would you have been lying there. You could have died and I wouldn't have been there to make sure you were alright," he said. "Mikey, that part is not important right now. It happened and you did come home right as it happened. Now I'm here and safe because of you. We can't change the past. I am safe now and that's what matters," you say. He nods and pulls you closer to him. You moved over so that he could make himself comfortable in the small hospital bed, then you laid your head on his chest. You guys stayed like this for a long time and you started falling asleep again. Then the door opened and the doctor walked in. "The test results have come in," he said. Mikey had told me they had taken a blood sample well I was out so they could start running tests. "We think it's best if we tell the news to just you," he said. You started shaking your head but Mikey was getting up. He told you it was alright, that'd he be just outside the door and with that he walked out. As soon as the door shut, the doctor started talking, "When you were brought in we instantly noticed that you were severely dehydrated. The man who brought you in said that you have been throwing up for a week straight. We have an IV with fluids going in your arm now and with the lack of fluids that were in your body it could have made everything a lot worse. Especially if you weren't brought in when you were. We also decided to take a few tests to see if we could figure something out. We didn't find anything out of the ordinary." "If you just had to tell me that then why did you ask for him to leave the room?" you asked. "When he came in he was freaking out saying this was his fault. We thought it was better to tell this information to you and if you'd like you can give it to him," he said. You looked down. "We have one more thing we can check," he said looking down at the clipboard in his hand. You looked up at him. "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?" he asked. You thought about it and then nodded. Everything was slowly falling into place. That would explain why you've been so hungry in the last few weeks. At least hungrier than usual. That would explain why you were always sick in the morning and feeling slightly better in the afternoon. "If you are that'd explain a lot. Without those fluids in your body, especially when there is another human growing inside you, it can be very damaging. I can have a nurse come in and check," he said. Then he walked out. A few minutes later a nurse came in but you weren't focused on anything she did. You were too deep in thought. You didn't know how Mikey would react. You knew he loved you but what if he didn't want a child? Especially now when he was so busy. The nurse telling you congratulations brought you out of your thoughts. You looked up at her. She started saying more about reasons why you passed out. She told you the child was surprisingly healthy from what she could see. The fall or the lack of fluids and food hasn't affected it much. You were grateful for that but the thought of having a child, especially now when you don't know if the father of the child even wants to be in its life was killing you. The next thing you know the nurse walked out and Mikey was walking back in. He looked very confused. "The nurse just told me congratulations," he said. You looked down. You couldn't help but cry. He immediately went over to you and pulled you into him, holding you close to him. "What's wrong?" he asked, once he had gotten you mostly calm. "I-I'm pregnant. T-That's why I've been throwing up. I only made matters worse by not eating or drinking anything cause I didn't want to throw that up," you said to him. "Is the child alright?" Mikey said after a few minutes of silence. "Y-yes," you said. "Then why are you crying?" he asked. "I-I didn't know how you would take it. I didn't know if you ever wanted a family, especially with me. I knew you loved me but one day you could find someone so much better than me and you could fall in love with her instead. Or this child could have ended everything. I didn't know if you would have wanted to keep it and I can't get rid of the child. I-I can't..." you were stopped by Mikey kissing you. "I would never leave you. I'm not finding anyone better. It's impossible for me to find anyone better than you because there is no one out there. Of course I want a family and especially with you. You are the love of my life and this is our child. We may not be married but that doesn't matter. That won't change anything. We are in this together and I am so happy that I have you. I love you so much," he said. You smiled and said, "I love you too." You moved over and laid back down on Mikey just waiting to be released from here.
