Rise 🔥

Safe and sound

I couldn't look at cook or the nurse. I felt the gel on my belly but the tears just kept falling. They moved the probe around and I didn't hear anything.. but then.
"Bumbumbumbum bumbumbum". There it was! I looked over and you could see em.
"Is she okay! Why am I bleeding?!". I tried to sit up but the nurse laid me back down.
"It's okay! The baby is fine! You look about 15 weeks that sound right?".
"She's 18 weeks as of Thursday". Cook answered for me and she just smiled.
"Are you frequently sexual with your partner during this trimester?". I shook my head no.
"She's afraid to hurt the baby". Cook grabbed my hand and stepped closer to me rubbing my head.
"Why does that matter?". She smiled at me and cook.
"Just basic questions, it looks like we have your records from Bristol. I'll give your chart to the doctor give us a little bit and we'll be back in to do an exam". I nodded my head but still felt nervous.
"Cook are we in trouble?". He looked at me confused but figured out what I was talking about.
"Babydoll, we're miles away from there. You need to quite worrying yeah?". I nodded and he leaned down and kissed my head. The doctor came and and the nurse had a cup and a kit to draw some blood.
"Ms. Vanders, you noticed some spotting? I'm just gonna take some some blood and we'll take a urine sample. There's a steady heart beat so we're just gonna rule out some other complications".
"Will our baby be okay?". I felt The tears forming again. Cook rubbed my head and the doctor tried to be positive.
"I'll put a rush on your labs and come in as soon as there back. Just try to stay relaxed". She pulled out my IV port and the assistant took three vials of blood she put a cup next to the bed and told me to pee when I could little did she know I already had to. I grabbed the cup and headed to the bathroom. When I came back I felt everyone looking at me.
"What?". I set the cup down and laid back in the bed.
"You never had your genetic testing done?". Cook questioned me and looked pissed.
"No, James you had to work remember? I tried to reschedule but we had our flight?". He caught on and played it off with me the doctor nodded and agreed to preform my CVS testing. I waited for three minutes and they both were back in my room the stirrups came out and I felt uncomfortable but it was over before I could count. The next hour was the longest of our life. But she came back in and I felt my heart in my throat.
"Okay, your cvs test will take about a week to get back. If there's any markers that pop we can test and see what complications you may have and plan treatment. Your blood pressure is abnormally high which explains the spotting. You need to be on bed rest atleast till your next check up. you and the baby are in the clear Ms. Vanders just follow the orders and you will be fine". I got dressed and cook went to pull the car around. When I was wheeled down my mom and dad and Bex where standing with cook.
"Why are my parents here?". I got up and moved toward the door. But my mom blocked me.
"Cameron. Enough is enough. I get it your pregnant your scared but this needs to stop. Your father and I are getting a divorce. We were trying to tell you at the Barbecue but of course your theatrics were more important!". Cook stepped in front of us both and Bex grabbed me for a hug before I could just run away.
"Ayy! Your daughter just got wheeled out of the emergency room yeah! We thought we lost our baby! This stupid bullshit bickering has to stop! You love your kid yeah? Act like it. Now we're done for the night and Bex and I are gonna get my wife and baby home and in bed where she needs to be!". Cook was full on yelling at this point which made me more nervous my mom and dad stepped back with there jaws to the floor and Bex helped me in the car.
"How'd you guys know I was here?". I looked back at Bex and she was already rolling a joint. God I really missed her.
"That was my fault babes. I should've listened to you. I'm sorry, how you doing?". I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
"I'm fine cook, tired. But I'm glad I'm home". Bex hugged me from behind and passed me the joint.
"That's for after you have her, you better save it me and Noah expect it". She smiled at me and kissed my head.
"Cook told you it's a girl? Well he doesn't know yet. That's next weeks adventure". I looked over at cook and he smiled at me with his big ass grin.
"So auntie Bex is planning the baby shower right?!". She was bouncing in the backseat.
"Yes, Bex you and Noah can plan it but nothing to over the top!". She clapped her hands and called Noah.
"That's okay with you right cook?". He nodded and leaned over and kissed my head after he parked.
"More wedding planning for us". Both of them started to get on my nerves they were holding me like I was frail and would break. When I got into bed I finally lost it.
"Okay, both of you! I'm not gonna break I just need to stay calm and rest which both of you are not helping! Bex get your ass on the phone and get Noah here. Cook find a damn job so we don't have to worry about money for the wedding! Meanwhile!, let me get settled to being home got it!". They both looked at me shocked then at each other but bed locked herself in my bathroom to call Noah and cook grabbed the laptop and headed to the living room. I grabbed my phone and Called my mom.
"Before you start just listen, I've done a lot I'm not proud of and I know me coming back pregnant has an impact on everyone and I should've told you. I'm sorry mom I love you. And I want you and dad both there even if this divorce is final, and on last thing. If it's because of me. I'm sorry I was never the daughter you to hoped for". I hung up and slouched on our pillows. I felt bad for snapping at cook and Bex.
"Cook! Cookie!". He ran in as fast as he could almost eating it.
"What's wrong babes?! You okay! Do I need to get the car!?".
"Cook, come here". I patted the bed next to me and Bex came out of the bathroom and sat next to me.
"Both of you, I'm sorry. I'm overly hormonal and don't know how to handle being home. Cook, I don't mean to pressure you I just am so scared of losing you. Bex, I know you and Noah have questions but I just can't answer them right now". She nodded and cook explained what the doctor told us.
"So is the baby okay?".
"For know yes. The CVS comes back next week, it determine any genetic markers that come up wrong and I might have to do more testing". She knew I didnt wanna answer anymore questions so she didn't push it
"Call me tomorrow and we'll talk more Okay? For now you just take it easy, I love you cami".
"Love to Bex I'll see you tomorrow". She hugged me and cook let her out before he came an curled up next to me.
"I was thinking babes, let's wait for the wedding till after the baby comes. I want you to have everything you ever wanted". I curled my head into his neck and I felt safe again I grabbed his hands and wrapped them around me and my growing belly.
"Thank you cook. You gave up so much for me. I can't thank you enough". He kissed my head and got comfortable next to me I was finally able to feel some peace. No hospitals no stress just me, Cook, and the baby.
