a mixup caused by a switch up (a David Dobrik fanfic)

back home (17)

"it's the baby. there is something wrong with the baby!" i say frantically.

it was dark outside.

"what ? okay. we are going to the hospital." he says getting up quickly throwing some pants and a shirt on.

he picks me up and carries me out of the house into his car quickly. he drives like a maniac. it was 4:27 in the morning and la was still busy. he was lane switching and getting me to the hospital as fast as he could. once we got there he picked me up again and rushed into the front door of the hospital.

we were rushed into a room and set up on a fetal monitor. i was so worried about my baby. i couldn't think straight. david was pacing back and forth as the set everything up. as they were i told them about the symptoms. the stabbing pains and dizziness. the doctor was very nice. he kept us calm to an extent. as everything was set up the doctor looked at the screen and frowned. that's when my heart dropped.

"your baby seems to be in distress. we are going to hook up an iv and give you fluids and a medication to bring the baby out of distress before this causes extensive damage." the nice doctor smiles.

"is he okay ? was this something i did ?" i ask frantically.

"he will be okay. and there is no way to tell. there are many ways a baby can go into fetal distress. it could be from your stress even." he says back.

i then rethought the day and realized i was so stressed that i put my baby's life and mine in danger.

"thank you doctor." david says as the doctor walks out and the nurse comes to put the iv in so my baby and i could get the medicine.

the nurse got everything done and put a hand on my shoulder.

"everything will be fine. we are going to keep a watch on your heart rate and the baby's. the medicine will calm the baby down but it will also have an affect on your heart rate. it is nothing serious for you. it will only slow yours down a little bit. it will also make you a little bit sleepy." she says and smiles.

"thank you so much." i say and smile back.

we moved into a bigger room with a bigger bed so david could sleep with me. david was still exhausted but worried. i assured him id be okay and as i started to get sleepy again. he got up and pulled down the blinds so it was dark. before we both feel asleep. david had edited and posted his video exposing our little secret. all of the supportive comments made me so happy. about that time the medicine kicked in and we both fell asleep.

i was sleeping soundly until i wasn't. i woke up and had doctors and nurses crowding me. i couldn't breathe. physically and mentally. i saw a bunch of unfamiliar faces and i was scared.

"her bp is down and pulse is weak and thready." a nurse said.

i was medically educated so i knew what that meant. nothing good.

"we need to get her to operations room 9 stat. we have to get this baby out!" the doctor yells.

"no! i haven't carried to full term!" i say weakly.

"we have to get this baby out or you won't make it to see the next day." he says wheeling me out of the room.

i finally got a glimpse of david. he pushed his way through and held my hand.

"you've got this. i love you bailey." he says kissing my head as i was being rolled down the hallway.

i was wheeled into an operating room and they told me that everything was going to be okay and told me to count down backwards from 10.

10...
9....
8....
7....

i wake up groggily in a room to soothing smooth beeping of my monitor. i opened my eyes and looked over to see an incubator. my baby. david saw me awake and ran over to kiss me.

"how are you feeling?" he asks.

"a little groggy but never mind that how is our baby?" i try to lean up to see him up the pain on my lower abdomen was too much.

"stay still love. our munchkin is fine. he was just a bit premature. apparently he was cooking faster than most babies." he says and smiles.

his choice of words made me giggle.

"can i see him ?" i say quietly.

"yes. the doctor said you could hold him for a few minutes." david says walking over to get our baby.

he gently handed me our baby and laid down beside me. he was the cutest thing on the planet.

we named him. luke david dobrik.

after a while it was time to put him back. then all of the doctors came in and ran some blood work so i could go home and take luke with me.

we finally got the blood work back and i was all good. they gave us the discharge papers and i started filling them out. after i got done they brought me a wheel chair and gave me william to hold. david wheeled me out to his tesla. and gently took luke and put him into his car seat before helping me into the car. i made myself comfortable then looked back at luke in the rear view mirror to make sure he was okay. he was sound asleep.

david got into the car and drove away.

i was a nervous wreck the whole way home. it wasn't just me and david in the car. now, it was me, david, and luke. luke is brand new and i was so nervous with all the traffic. i kept telling david to slow down and to be more careful even though he wasn't going that fast and was already being careful.

then it hit me.

"david! the nursery. oh no. we forgot! it was such chaos at the hospital! after you drop me and luke off. you need to go get a cradle to put in our room since we don't have baby monitors or anything to say the least." i say frantically.

"it's okay babe. calm down. ive got it under control. you just worry about healing up well." he says calming me down.

"okay." i say back.

we pull into the driveway and david helps me out first into the wheel chair and then gently hands me luke.

we walk into the house but we didn't stop at the living room we kept going and what i saw in the next doorway took my breath away.
