Getting To Know You

CHAPTER 8

"Emily are you alright hun?"

"I'm fine Beau just getting sick that's all, it cause I'm pregnant."

I heard her shuffle the phone and that's when I knew she was laying down on the couch in the living room. She sighed and said "So exactly why are you calling me on your water break?" I smiled cause Em was always a smartass when she was sick. 

"Coach made a big deal about you and the kids, saying I have to tell the fans, he was all like 'Just get your personal problems out of my hands Beau' and i flipped. He made a big fucking deal about something that isn't a problem it's a blessing, and I told him i'd do it tonight on twitter with a few pictures of the baby bump and a synogram picture of the babies." 

"Thats fine by me babe but seriously get back to practice before he chews your ass out for calling me." I told her I'd text her when we got let out and it wasn't much longer till we did. 

*2 HOURS LATER*

I asked Bortz if he wanted to come with me to pick up some food for Em and he said he'd go with me, i jumped in my car and he jumped in his, I texted Emily asking where she wanted food from she replied with "One word. McDonalds, 2 big macs, and a ice drink from Starbucks please." Whenever we arrived to the McDonalds, I showed Bortz the text and he started to laugh, I really didn't want food from here myself cause I'm watching what I'm eating but I guess Bortz really doesn't care so he ended up ordring chicken nuggets. Whenever I placed my order, the young girl was very alluring I should describe her as, very flirty. She obviously knew who we were with high mentions of 'my brother loves you and so do I'  I really didn't stir the pot with the flirting, I just sorta said yeah, okay, that's great. and other general reponses. I drawed the line when she handed me my food in the bag and my water, she said 'Here's your order cutie pie Beau' I smiled and said "Keep sharing your flirtiness with the people behind us not me cause this order right here is for my beautfiul girlfriend. If you don't mind I'm going to pay and leave without a word said alright?" She shook her head yes and right after that we left. Emily texted me saying I was getting a surprise whenever we arrived at Starbucks but I wouldn't think she would be feeling well enough to drive nor be around food that isn't her 2 big macs. We were going down the road whenever Bortz called me and said "Just a warning my GPS told me there's a wreck near by incase it isn't cleared yet." "Thanks for the warning dumbass but I can perfectly see the flasing lights ahead on the side of the road." I looked out the window to see a pregnant women in the ambulance with hair pinned up just like Emily does, then I saw the car hit right in the passanger side and that's when I realized that was my surprise. Emily was the one who got hit. I pulled over to run towards the ambulance, and saw her getting oxygen from the opperator. The other man had a sheet over him knowing that he was called dead at the scene. I threw my hands on the ground as a police rushed over to get immediate identification of me. He let me ride in the ambulance car with Emily, i was holding her hand crying and screaming at the top of my lungs saying "God Emily why why why. Why you why you." The attendes helping Emily told me she'd be fine and then I asked "How are the babies please tell me." They saw the tears sitting in my eyes ready to fall, the kind lady said "They are fine sir, just may take awhile, we will take her to the hospital and stich her up since glass fell in her leg. The only thing we must worry about is her head really, it was barely bleeding at the scene but we must check the brain conditons before she goes home." 

When we arrived at the hospital the told me to wait while Emily got opperated on. I was looking through my photos seeing me and Emily together smiling at Olli's preseason party, and the picture of us on the ice and whenever I went back far enough I saw my smile change. The smile I saw in the pictures before Emily was fake but with Emily I looked so happy and I began to cry, until I heard a voice say "Who was the man that rode in the ambulance with Emily Cambel?" I walked up and wiped my eyes and said "Me, Beau. Is she alright? How are the babies?" The doctor smiled and said "Emily did warn me she had a protective man in her life, she's fine she just underwent some minor operations to remove all the glass in her leg, you can go see her she may or may not talk to you." I looked up at him and my eyes got big and said "Why wouldn't she talk to me?" He replied with "The medication we gave her to heal the minor damage to her brain may cause her to be in a minor coma, just 1 week or sometimes 2 days. We want her to be fully healed in the brain before she goes home Mr. Beau, don't worry about her though." I smiled and said thank you for taking care of her, Bortz was in the waiting room with me ever since I began crying but he wasn't allowed back to see Emily. I walked in and saw her laying there looking dead and pale as ghost. I grabbed her hand and I saw a smile run across her face and I felt tears run down my face as I looked at her. I talked to her and asked her how she felt, no answer. I guess she was getting the whole coma phase out of the way now. I spent the night at the hospital in Emily's room. But before I went to bed I tweeted 

"@emmy19 & I had a rough night, feel better baby, can't wait till you wake up. I love you." With the attachments of these 2 photos of her sleeping in the hospital bed, and another of us kissing on the ice. 

I just hope Emily is ready for my surprise of my own.
