 Miracle Baby

         I reached over and grabbed my husband’s hand, squeezing it so tightly that it turned red.  What I am feeling right now is the most excruciating gull bladder pain that I’ve ever felt in my life.  Restlessly tossing and turning every second, I roll over onto my side and place my hands over my 5 month pregnant stomach.  I look over at my cousin Layla, who is laying in the middle of me and Dustin, still deep in sleep.  I don’t know how she managed to sleep through me tossing and turning and screaming in pain, but she did. The pain is striking through me faster than a speeding bullet. I am crying out to God, asking him to take this horrific pain away.

“What’s wrong, honey?” Asks Dustin, with a concerned frown on his face.

“GULL BLADDER PAIN! IT HURTS SO BAD!!” I yell, clenching with pain.

“Are you okay?  Do you need to go to the hospital?” He asks, with a concerned look on his face.

“No, I’ll be fine. I just need to go to the bathroom!” I say, stuttering.

          I quickly jump up off the bed and run to the bathroom, with tears caused by unbearable pain rolling down my cheeks.  I go to the bathroom to do my “business”, and to my surprise, find that I am bleeding!  Nervousness and panic is setting in.  Sweat is dripping down my temple.  Every bone in my body is shaking with worry.  Bleeding while being pregnant is definitely NOT normal! 

“DUSTIN, COME QUICK! COME QUICK!” I scream, with panic.

….No answer.

“DUSTIN!!” I scream even louder, trying to get him to hear me.

…Again, no answer.

          I pull my pants up as quickly as I can and rush to my husband in the bedroom.   I am overwhelmed with every emotion possible.  “What happening to me?”, “Is my baby okay?” So many questions are running through my head right now.  I walk over to Dustin’s side of the bed and shake him, trying to wake him.  He immediately wakes up and sees my tear stained face. 

“What’s wrong, Gianna?” He asks, sitting up and looking into my eyes.

“I—I don’t know what wrong.  Something is happening.  I’m bleeding!” I tell him, with a worried look on my face.

“I’m calling the doctor!!” He says, stumbling to find the phone.

“Please call now. Quick.” I say, out of breath. 

          I wake up Layla and tell her that she might have to go home tonight since I am not feeling well.  She asks what is wrong and I tell her that it’s nothing.  She tells me that she hopes that I feel better soon and then wraps me in a loving hug.  Dustin stumbles for the phone and finally grabs it and starts to dial the doctor’s number as fast as he can. Ring. Ring. Ring.

“Hello?” Says nurse Chelsey, on the other end of the phone.

“Yes, my wife is having um.. well, she’s bleeding.. and she’s 5 months pregnant.” He explains to her.

“Make sure she keeps her feet up and if the bleeding does not stop she is most likely going to have a miscarriage.  I will try to get ahold of the doctor as soon as I can, sir.” She explains to him.

          He hangs up the phone and looks over at me.  Dustin sees how much pain and suffering I am going through, and he looks over at me with the “I love you” look on his face. I cannot handle this pain much longer, it’s way too unbearable!  Without hesitation, I grab my cellphone off of the nightstand, and quickly begin to dial my father’s number.  Riiiiiiiiing.
