"Baby it hurts so bad." Cali cried as she crouched over holding her stomach trying to find a way to cease the pain she was feeling, as Ahmad drove crazily towards the hospital.

He was trying his best to comfort her and focus on the road but it was becoming hard and seeing her in pain like this was breaking his heart especially since he felt this was partially his fault.

He felt all this was happening because of what he did and how he handled the whole situation between him and Shanice. He knew he was partially wrong for staying out with her until five in the morning knowing he had Cali waiting for him at home, but apart of him just didn't want to be around her because things just weren't the same and it was still a constant reminder of what happened.

He knew it was fucked up to think and feel that way especially towards his own wife, but he couldn't help it. He felt what they had was solid and never even thought Cheating would be an issue in their marriage since he knew for a fact he would never purposely cheat on Cali.

All of this just had his head so fucked up and he was trying to grasp on to what was happening in his marriage, but he couldn't. A part of him really felt this might be the end for them, a part of him felt maybe what she did just wasn't fixable but then another part of him wanted to make it work and stay with her but he knew he would never look or trust her the same.

Coming up to their exit that exited off towards the hospital Ahmad sighed in relief before placing his hand back on Cali's lower back being sure to apply pressure in certain areas to help with the pain. "We almost there baby, we'll soon find out what's going on in a minute." He reassured and she nodded.

Finally arriving to the hospital, Ahmad parked in the front quickly shutting off his truck and getting out to help Cali. Opening her door, he reached out his arms and grabbed her shakey hands pulling her out. Once she was out he held onto her and walked inside the hospital instantly alerting nurses and doctors passing by once they seen she was pregnant.

"What seems to be the issue?" A nurse practioner questioned as she approached them.

"We're not exactly sure, she's just feeling a lot of pain in her lower abdomen."

With the help of a nurse and Ahmad they got her in a wheelchair and began pushing her to a room with a Ahmad walking alongside worried out of his mind.

The dream he had kept popping up in his head and he knew a miscarriage was the last thing the two needed in this moment. This miscarriage would honestly put them further back and bring on another set of issues.

When they approached a room the lady nurse helped Cali stand and helped get into the bed. "Just lay on your side, the doctor will be in here shortly to check your stress levels along with the babies and will go from there."

Leaving out, Ahmad walked over and began pressing around on her lower back. He remembered last time she was in this state when giving birth to Adrian she liked when he massaged her lower back, it didn't take the pain away but the feeling of knowing he was there right by her side through it all helped her push through.

An hour or so passed and the tests had already been ran now it was just a waiting game to see what exactly was going. Holding onto Cali's hand he gently placed small kisses on it as she laid in bed feeling a little better and half way sleep. The pain she was feeling wasn't as bad so she was a little relieved with that.
