Mena's POV
I quickly rushed to our bedroom, "What is it, are you okay?"
Naomi nodded but couldn't get words out, she held her stomach as she groaned, "It hurts, why does it hurt?" She cried.
"You probably just ate something come here,"
Walking closer to her I pulled the covers from over her. Immediately I felt my heart sink to my stomach as I saw the pool of blood sitting under her. It took me a few seconds to get out of the shock Naomi was obviously already in. She didn't say a word, didn't make a face, she just stared blankly at our bed as she tried to take a breath. "Nay, you have to breath." Her eyes stayed glued to the stained blanket. "Naomi its okay, just look at me."
As I went to get closer to her, her hand grabbed on to my shirt. Turning her head I noticed her eyes full of tears as she let out a breathe "It's my fault."She let out a groan in pain.
"That's it, we're going. Her face went pale and before she could say anything else I picked Naomi up and ran out the door with her. Getting into the car I quickly sped to the hospital. Suddenly, I felt a strong tug on my arm along with a voice.
"Mena! Babe!" I jumped. "Woah, are you okay?" Sitting up I rubbed my eyes. Naomi stood in front of me confused.
"Uhm—uhm yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"You were breathing really heavy, I got worried." I sighed and threw myself back on the couch, it was just a dream. Well, more like a nightmare. "Are you sure you're okay babes?" Nay said as she came to sit next to me. "You know you can talk to me,"
"I'm good really, just a bad dream. Besides you're here now, I'm perfect." I smiled gently at her. "So what about you? You feeling better? Kinda freaked out on me this morning."
Naomi pouted, "I'm sorry, I just got anxious that's all."
"Hey you don't have to apologize, I get it. But what I don't get is you saying you're going to "ruin it". You're going to be fine, Nay."
"And what if I'm not?" She bit her lip.
For a second I hesitated, it's as if she sensed what I'd dreamt. "Then... we'll try again. Just, take it one step at a time. For both of our sakes. Well all of our sakes."
Naomi let out a small chuckle. "It's weird to hear you say that."
"It feels weird to say it." I chuckled. "Still can't believe we made a human."
"I still can't believe its growing inside me."
"Yeah that's also weird... but it's cool I guess." I shrugged my shoulders.
"You don't say," Naomi raised her eyebrows at me and then laughed. "For real though, I always wanted kids but I didn't think I'd be twenty-one with kids, well twenty-two by the time he or she comes along."
"Are you worried about being so young?"
"I'm not worried I'm just... trying to get used to the idea. I mean after its born I gotta learn how to focus on it but also do school. It's just a lot I guess."
"Yeah I get what you mean..." I took a short pause. "You know speaking of school, I was kinda thinking I'd turn down the acting school thing."
"What? Why, I thought that's what you wanted." Nay turned her head confused.
"I did, I do, but I just don't think I'll be able to provide a steady home for our baby being or attempting to be an actor."
"Babe, I don't want you missing out on your opportunities because of this..." She let out a breath, "We'll figure something out,"
"I can't just wait until we figure it all out. By the time he or she is born I'll have to have a steady income for you both. There's no choice there... medical school's the secure path."
"Okay so it's secure but what about you and your happiness?"
"You and our little baby make me the happiest ever."
Softly Naomi turned to sit directly in front of me and grabbed my face. "Babe, you won't be happy with me or anyone if you aren't happy with what you're doing as a career every day. I don't want to be the reason you're miserable for the rest of your life."
"I could never be miserable with you—"
"No Mena, you're taking the offer and that's that."
"Nay I'm not risking this, if I take the offer I'd have to drop out of medical school and it'll be hard to get back on track. Besides I only have a few years left."
"Mena I'm serious."
"And so am I," I smiled gently before I got close to get and gave her a kiss on the nose. "It'll be fine, I promise. Just trust me on this, okay? This once."
Naomi sighed frustrated and crossed her arms, "Fine, but I swear the minute you get to this apartment with a pout on that face I'm taking you out of that stupid school myself."
Rolling my eyes I laughed, "Whatever you say princess."
