We've Got It All Figured Out... For Now

I felt something poking my arm and a little pain shot through the same spot. I opened my eyes to see a woman poking a needle into my wrist. My nose scrunched up from curiosity and confusion.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“I’m putting a new IV in your arm,” She smiled.

“Who are you? Where am I? What’s going on?” I rambled on in a confusion. “Wait…am I in the hospital?”

“Yes you are,” She told me.

The first thing that I thought of why I could be here was Josh and my unborn baby that I was carrying. I immediately put a hand on my stomach and looked at the lady.

“Is there something wrong with my baby?” I shot.

“They’re going to run tests later. Just try to lay down,” She smiled before leaving the room.

I’m so confused. If I am here for something that happened to our unborn baby then where are Emma and Josh?

”Kistie!” A familiar voice shouted.

Kylee came bursting through the door with Todd and Mason close behind. She rushed to my side and took my hand in hers with tears running down her cheeks.

“I’m so glad you’re okay,” She smiled.

“What exactly happened?” I asked her.

“You were in a car accident,” Todd spoke up with Mason in his arms.

”Oh my gosh! Where’s Emma? Is she okay?” I immediately shot with my eyes growing wide, worrying about my baby.

“She’s in the ICU right now,” Kylee started as tears immediately boiled in my eyes. “But she’s doing good. They just have her there to monitor her closely.”

“Todd, will you go check on her please,” I asked him.

“Josh is already down there,” Ky told me.

“Is he okay?” I questioned.

“Yeah, he’s good. He just has a few cuts and bruises but nothing major,” Todd reassured me with a smile. “I’ll go check on Emma and I’ll send Josh down here.”

“Ky, would you go check on her too,” I questioned with tears still glossing my eyes.

“Sure Kirstie,” She smiled while taking Mason in her arms and walking out of my room with Todd.

I laid there for a minute with my mind racing in a million directions. I don’t know what I’m going to do if my daughter is hurt badly. I’m so scared right now for Emma and for Josh and my unborn baby. I have no idea if I’m injured or not but I don’t particularly care, as long as Emma is okay.

”KIRSTIE ARE YOU OKAY?” Keegan shouted as he rushed into my room.

“Yeah, I’m okay,” I said.

“I got here as soon as I could,” He told me in a panicky voice as he slowly walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

I tried to sit up but let out a gasp of pain as I did so. Keegan’s eyes immediately filled with terror.

“Are you okay? What’s wrong?” He asked.

“I think it’s my ribs,” I gritted my teeth.

He looked up to the board above my bed and told me, “I think you broke some ribs, that’s what it says on the board.”

“Oh no,” I sighed while running a hand through my hair. “Keegan… I’m pregnant. What if my broken ribs hurt my baby?”

Keegan didn’t say anything in response. He just scooted closer and took my hand in his and stroked my hair as I cried.

“I want Josh,” I cried.

“I’ll go get him,” He kindly replied while getting up and leaving the room.

I laid in the quiet and the stillness for a moment and closed my eyes, dreaming and hoping my babies were okay.
