One More Chance: Book 1

Ch.10 - Screws

(Devyn)
Emery and I were sitting in the room at the doctors office waiting for results.

"Hey?"

"I feel like a screw up."

"Emery! Don't say that. You aren't a screw up, okay? You will get through this. You have me, you have Xander. Jax even. If Hero doesn't want to grow up and accept this, that's his loss."

She wiped her cheeks and nodded.

"Okay."

I rubbed her back and she laid her head on my shoulder. I laid mine on her head.

"You're strong."

She smiled and the door opened.

"We have results."

The doctor sat down in the chair and Emery grabbed my hand.

"You are 6 weeks. Baby is healthy and I promise everything will be okay. You're young, smart and pretty. You will get through this and it looks like your support is stronger than ever."

I smiled and she hands Emery some pictures.

"What about school?"

"That will all be taken care of."

Emery wiped her cheek and I rubbed her hand.

"So when am I due?"

"You are due in June on the 23rd."

"Ooo, a summer baby."

....

We walked out of the room and headed down the hall towards the exit. Emery was trembling and I hugged her.

"Hey?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just so scared."

"Emery. Everything will be okay. I know it has to be scary."

We walked out and Xander had walked in with Hero.

"Babe?"

Hero walked up to Emery and Xander grabbed my hand.

"What's wrong?"

"I talked some sense into him."

"You did?"

We stepped outside and I leaned into him, "Are you okay?"

"Yea. I'm just sleepy."

He kissed my head and I smiled.

"What did they say about Emery?"

I raised up and played with his rings like I always do.

"She's 6 weeks and due in June. She's definitely terrified."

"They'll get through it."

My head was pounding and I leaned into him again.

"Are you alright, Baby?"

"My head hurts."

I felt nauseous and my head grew worse.

"Babe?"

(Xander)
Devyn looked worse by the minute and I looked at her. She became pale.

"Dev?"

Emery and Hero were still inside talking.

She turned white and dropped out of my arms.

"Devyn?!"

I grabbed her up and she opened her eyes, "Baby? You need to go to the hospital."

Emery ran out and pushed me away.
