Bryce Walker's Little Sister 2: Freshman Year COMPLETED

Chapter 14: How to save a life part 2

🌼 Abby 🌼

Zach rushed back in to the bathroom with sweatpants, T-shirt, and pads. "Let's go." I slid the underwear and bra on, I was shaking I was so scared for my baby.

"You gotta put the pants and shirt on babe" he said sliding the pants onto my body. I nodded and pulled the shirt on.

We rushed downstairs and grabbed the hospital bag just in case. "I-I need Bryce." He dialed Bryce's number.

"Bryce, can you meet us at the hospital." He covered the mic on the phone and talked to me.

"Go get in the car, I'll be right out." I nodded and got into the car.

"Bryce, I think she's having a miscarriage...yeah. See you there." He got into the car and we headed to the hospital.

I held my bump and cried, I knew I had lost my baby. But a small part of me had hope that I hadn't.

Zach held my hand, he was tearing up. He wanted this baby so bad, and I felt horrible because I lost our baby.

We parked at the hospital and a nurse met us at the doors with a wheelchair. I sat down and Bryce ran up to us.

"ABBY!" I started sobbing when Bryce hugged me

"BryBry. My baby." I held onto my belly and sobbed.

"I know Abby, you're going to be okay."

They wheeled me into a exam room and did an ultrasound.

"Okay, there's the baby...but"

I swallowed hard and held back the tears. I knew what she was going to say next.

"There's no heartbeat." The tears started flowing out of my eyes and put my hand over my mouth and cried.

She cleaned up my belly and I sat up on the exam table. Zach held my hand as she sat down on the stool and sighed.

"Your baby will have to be delivered through C-Section. We can't know what caused your baby to miscarry, but do know you did nothing to cause this. We will prep you for the procedure and you will stay for a few days after for examination. Here is some literature, you can also hold the baby for a few minutes after then you'll have to say goodbye." I sniffled and wiped my eyes.

"Thank You, can my brother come in?"

"I'll go get him."

Zach squeezed my hand and kissed my cheek. "It's gonna be okay." 

Bryce walked into the room "you're okay." He kissed my head "you'll be okay."

They came and put me into a room in the Labor and Delivery Wing, I got into a hospital gown and waited.

"Hey, What do you want me to tell people?" Bryce asked, he was on the phone with Chloe.

"Don't say anything...please." He nodded and walked out of the room.

"Miss.Walker, were gonna give you an Epidural, then when it sets in we'll take you back to the surgical room and preform the C-Section. Fore warning your baby won't be developed all the way, just be prepared for that." I nodded and sat up so they could give me the medicine.

They wheeled me into the room and set everything up. "Okay Abigail, we're going to start now you might feel a little pressure."

Tears started flowing out of my eyes and Zach squeezed my hand. Shortly the doctor spoke again.

"Miss.Walker, Mr.Dempsey it's a Boy." I smiled at Zach.

"I told you." He gave me a soft smile the he started to tear up.

"Yeah, you did." He got up and left the room crying, I instantly felt guilt. They got me back into the hospital room and Zach came back in with Red swollen eyes.

"They're bringing him in now." A nurse came around the corner with a baby blanket wrapped around the tiny body of our baby.

She put him in my arms and I started to crying. This isn't how I pictured meeting my baby...this isn't how it was supposed to happen. His body was fragile and wrinkled, his eyes were closed shut because they hadn't had time to form.

"Jaiden." I said quietly is I stared at his small body.

"What?" Zach asked sitting next to me on the bed.

"His name, Jaiden." He smiled warmly at me.

"Jaiden it is." I handed Jaiden to Zach and he started crying again.

"Babe-" I grabbed his arm and he stood up.

"No. I was gonna teach him football, and baseball and we were gonna be a big happy family. And now my son is dead, and I can't be too upset because I have to be strong for you." He handed Jaiden back to me.

"I know, I wanted you to have so many things to bond with him over, but we lost our son. And you can't be upset, it's okay, you don't have to be good all the time." He sat in the chair and held my hand.

"I love you, Abigail...and Jaiden."

"I love you too Zach, and I love you too Jaiden," I handed him off to the nurse.

"We will taken to the morgue, and the funeral arrangements can be made." I nodded at her as she took our boy away.

"We're gonna get through this." Zach nodded

"I know, it's just devastating. I didn't think I'd be making funeral arrangements for him."

For the next few hours we sat in silence...how was I gonna explain this to my friends?

But more importantly, how was I gonna explain to Zach that in this moment...I wanted to die.
