Take Chances ~Teen Pregnancy~

6

Michael's POV

6 Months 3 week pregnant.

"What about this cute bib for the little princess?" I asked Julie while walking through the feeding aisle in Babie's R US, she turned to look at me and quickly reacted by telling me Kathy had atleast 50 bibs at home. "No silly! I meant for you!" She looked confused now.

"Why for me?" Jules asked innocently, and I just couldn't help myself "Well, you tend to wear your food everytime you sit down for a meal" I answered her curiosity and of course she slapped the hell out of my arm. I laughed violenty, I loved making her laugh, just putting her in a good mood gave me the sense of satisfaction. Things were different now, we never fought anymore. It certainly was nice like this. Honestly I don't think we ever got along this well, it was as if we both had mentally aged 20 years or so. The only thing we bickered about recently was about what color we should paint her room since it's a dark mud like color and there isn't an extra room to turn into a nursery for Kathy. We ended up having to ask Daniel to choose between Gala Pink and Tuberose, he actually sided with me and chose Gala Pink.

I haven't dated anyone lately, I decided I'd dedicate myself to my daughter and Julie. It's only right. I need to start being a father now, not when Katherine is born.

While I entertained Julie at Babies R Us, Daniel was at home with Grizzie and Amy setting everything up for a surprise baby shower. I texted him to let him know she was getting tired of walking around and we might be leaving real soon but he didn't answer. I resent the text a couple times but nothing. I decided I'd try and get a hold of Griz instead but nothing. Weird. When was she not on her phone?

After another 15 minutes passed I couldn't keep Jules walking around any longer, she was too exhausted so we paid and headed towards the car.

When I started the car my phone buzzed in my pocket but I couldn't take it out or curiousity would strike Julie and the surprise could be ruined.

I acted as if I didn't feel anything and put my car in reverse. It was about a 20 minute drive and Jules decided to take a nap, she seems to take atleast 5 of them a day now and she's only half way through the pregnancy. I slid my car into the carport of Julie's new apartment, Daniel and I surprised her with it just last week. We thought it was time she got a place of her own, nothing big, a simple one bed one bath apartment near school. It's not that there wasn't any room in her mom's house or that her mom was ever even home anyway but we thought it would be nice for the girls to have their own space.

Strange thing though, all the lights were off.

It was then that I pulled my phone out and read the incoming message from Griz.

"St. Peter Memorial Hospital. ASAP it's Danny."

And just at that moment Julie took a gasp of air, held her stomach and screamed in pain.

Julies POV

I read a book recently, I read a lot during the last couple of months, but there was a specific phrase in this book that made so much sense, now more than ever. Have you ever been in excrutiating physical pain? Well, I'm sorry to inform you that emotional pain can be so much worst. Never in my life had I felt so much emotional pain, it dulled my actual physical pain. But that's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt.

I shot up in the car seat due to the horrible feeling inside my stomach, as if my insides were being ripped out of my body. I couldn't even hear what Michael was saying to me, all I heard was a ringing in my ears that muffled out any other noise. I faintly felt the car swerve, I supposed he was taking me to the hospital.

After what seemed like forever I felt hands on me, I was being carried. The chilly air nipped at my cheeks but I couldn't even shiver. My mind was set on the pain. My eyes were blurry with tears and I didn't care if anyone saw me crying. I saw the silhouettes of the people around me, they were talking fast, asking questions. I was being hauled deeper into the hospital hallways, the flourecent lights above seem to pierce my eyes with their brightness.

My legs were really cold, they were wet.

Did my water break? It's too early, isn't it...?

At the moment I couldn't think of anything other than my baby girl. I felt someone running their hands through my hair "Breath, come on, breath."

The soothing voice sounded so familiar but it was more like a soft melody, like an angelic voice. Just, very soothing and strangely with a hint of affectiin lingering onto ever word spoken.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine" and even though the hand was no longer there, I could still feel a warm comforting sensation on my skin which traveled all the way to the tip of my toes.

I began to feel very drowsy, my body growing heavier, no longer being able to open my eyes, I let the incleasing fatigue envelope me and I could faintly hear that same voice "Don't let go, stay awake." But it was too late, I was slipping into a deep slumber. Fading away.

I walked through a massive field of daisies, my fingers lingering on each passing flower. A white glow emanated from just about everything, from the flowers to the clouds in the sky. Even though I was compeltey alone, not a soul in sight, I felt very happy and in a calm state of mind.

I wandered around for a while trying to figure out where I was. Am I dead?

I came across a beautiful leafy tree with a lonely swing hanging from one of it's thick branches and sat on it. "You're not supose to be here." I looked around frantically but I didn't see anyone. That voice, wasn't just any voice...

"Danny?" I whispered..
