Chapter 25 - Wow, She Sucks At Her Job

(Kadynce's POV)

I can't believe I let it go this far.

The truth is, I've been having mild cramps all day long, but I didn't want to ruin the party. It was nice to enjoy myself especially since I dropped a huge load on my family and friends a few weeks ago. I was having a good time with all our friends, or at least, up until the end when Zayne told everyone that he had a thing for me.

But still, I should have told Nixon about my pregnancy, and I should have just told somebody about my cramps. But I didn't think that it was that severe. I've had a little spotting and pregnancy cramps in the past with Nikkol and Jase.

I didn't think it was something to broadcast especially since my cramps and bleeding never ended me up in the hospital.

I feel bad for not telling Nixon willingly, I was forced to tell him.

Checking my buzzing phone, thankfully Nixon thought to slip it to me before the paramedics took me away. I texted my mom back. She and my dad have been worried about me since I left the house. The pain from my cramps had subsided a lot once they gave me an IV. At this point, I was lying in bed waiting for the doctor to come in.

Hearing a soft knock at the door, I put my phone down. "Come in." I called to them.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Mom's old doctor, who delivered me and my siblings, peek passed the door; Dr. Lacey "Kadynce Martinez." She smiled at me.

I haven't seen her since she delivered the triplets. She has definitely aged as she now had stress lines on her once spotless forehead. Her hair was grey in many spots and she wore glasses now.

"Oh my gosh, Dr. Lacey " I gasped, cheerfully. I can relax in comfort to know that I'm in good hands. "What are you doing here?"

She came in and hugged me. "I just got done delivering a baby when they told me that I had an emergency patient to see. I nearly flipped when I saw the chart and realized that it was you." Dr. Lacey told me.

"Yeah, I been having mild cramps and bleeding all day, but it wasn't too bad. They were the same as all the rest of my pregnancies up until it was time to go to sleep. The pain got so bad that I couldn't stand, and blood leaked out of me all over the bathroom." I explained to her. "I think I scared my baby's father half to death."

She nodded, taking all the information in. "Okay, well, we'll run some tests on you and the baby to make sure everything is okay. All pregnancies are different, and sometimes things you experience in one pregnancy may not happen in others."

"Right." I agreed.

"But let me just go grab my machine and I'll be back in a few." She told me before leaving the room.

Relaxing into the bed, I tried to think nothing but positive thoughts. I'm sure everything is okay just like Dr. Lacey said. I couldn't afford to think anything else. It hurt me and Nixon so much the first time when we lost our baby in the car accident.

I don't want a repeat of that. I wouldn't be able to handle that again.

There was another knock at my door. "Come in." I called again.

I was expecting it to be the doctor, but it was Nixon. He took a deep breath when he saw me; he was relieved to see me. "Baby, how are you feeling?" He asked me, rushing to me in a small panic, kissing my lips several times. He had calmed down a lot since he found me in the shower. "I literally prayed the entire way here. Have you seen the doctor yet?"

I shook my head just as he grabbed my hand and pulled away from me to take a seat in a chair at my bedside. "She came in, but she hasn't run any test yet."
