With Me

Chapter 37

Joe had a webcam set up for me so I can see my boyfriend, Jordan without leaving my room. That way I am not stressed out about not being able to see him but also not causing any stress to our unborn children while in his room. It's been two weeks sign of the babies yet nor Jordan waking up. Most of the time I have the webcam on him. He has finally been able to stay stable enough a week ago for more visits and they can be for longer too.

I am in his room again. The nurse has let me as everything was calm. I am here sipping my water and talking to him. I hope Jordan can hear me as I feel silly talking to someone in a coma. It's January now Christmas has passed. Still no sign of Jon since my outburst. He is running scared again. I am not surprised it's all his fault and their mom's fault. We wouldn't have ventured out into the middle of a snowstorm if it wasn't for Jordan feeling like he wasn't wanted at the house. I really would like to know what the hell went on when they were teenagers. I looked back at my boyfriend lying there. The room was eerie quiet except for the machines beeping to keep him alive and the ventilator to help him breathe. They had him still in a medically induced coma to help him heal from his massive head injury. I place his hand in mine as I look over him from his feet upwards the halo on his head. So much of his body was covered in bandages and plaster. Both legs were plastered up and so was his left shoulder and arm? The truck hit his side of the car. Apparently, we were lucky as we were in his Yukon because if we were in something smaller we all wouldn't have made it. I shiver at the thought.

"Please wake up. Its been so lonely without you". The tears are forming in my eyes as I see his invisible pain and suffering.  " Thank you for saving me and them. But why? Only for you to end up here like this".

I hear the door go and Joe walks into the room.

"Hey Ava, how are you?".

" I'm fine".

"Still no sign of their arrival yet".

" Still time between now and six weeks which was the due date".

"But twins always come early".

" Didn't you and him scared your parents by coming early?".

"They thought they were only expecting one because he hid me" pointing to Jordan " I got my own back as I kicked him out. We were seven weeks early. Everyone was surprised by me arriving but also how fast we came out. I couldn't spend any more time with space hoarder". He laughed which made me laugh too. I felt a twinge again. I place a hand on my tummy the one Jordan's hand there too.

"Settle down you two".

" You alright Ava".

"Sure they just won't settle". Another spasm but a stronger twinge.

" OK but if you're sure".

"Yeah, I am".

No one came to get me so Joe and I have been here for an hour now. I rested my head on his bed lightly snoozing while Joe was talking to his twin. I still had his hand in mine. I could feel a movement in a finger or two. I open my eyes to his hand slightly moving. Both Joe and I watch him. There was a change in his facial expression. He slowly woke up.

" Hey, you're awake".

"Right I'm going to get a doctor".

We had to leave the room so they could make Jordan more comfortable and remove the tube from his throat. While we were out I was feeling more spasms and they were getting stronger. Please no, not now. They were coming stronger and not so far apart. I want these contractions to slow or stop. I'm not ready for them to arrive. I want Jordan to be there when they arrive. At the moment he's not going too. We went back into the room. He was there with his eyes shut. 

"Where am I?".

"Who are you?".

" Why are you touching me?".

"Why can't I move?".

" It's alright Jordan. You're in the hospital. You were involved in a car accident".

"I don't remember. My name is not Jordan". He blinks his eyes in pain.

" Are you alright Jordan".

"Who's Jordan? My head hurts. It feels like it going to explode. Why does my head hurt so much?". He closes his eyes tightly in pain.

" I'm going get a doctor" replies Joe.

"Get two as I think they are making an appearance. My water just broke". Joe went off to the nurse's station again. Jordan was with the doctors checking his headache. I was rushed to the delivery room. Joe came with me as support. It was supposed to be Jordan here with me while I deliver our children not his twin brother. It isn't right. The contractions are coming fast and strong. I can't hold back any more.

" I want to you to start pushing Ava".

"No, I can't. They can't come yet".

Meanwhile on the other side of the hospital. Doctors and nurses were busy.

"We are losing him if we are not careful".

" Vitals are dropping".

"We need to find the cause of the swelling and severe headache he was experiencing when he woke up".

" Hurry Doc, or we are going to lose him"...

                                                     *    *    *    *

"Ava you have to push".

" I don't want to. All I know if they come into the world, I will lose my boyfriend. I have seen the movies and TV shows".

"That's not going to happen. He's stronger than that" replies Joe.

"Now push Ava"...
