After a few minutes Alex screams, we all turn around to see that she fell off the trampoline. She smacked her stomach on the side and collapsed. I gasp and jump off as well, Jordan picks her up and carries her to his car. I stand rooted to the pavement of our driveway until Damien pulls lightly on my arm and motions toward his car. I can't help but worry about Alex and the baby. 2
We get to the hospital breaking I don't know how many speeding laws and rush in. Jordan carries Alex who is whimpering and moaning in pain softly. Tears run down my cheeks as I watch them put her on a stretcher and run her into a room. Jordan is left standing there dumbstruck. He's near tears. He turns around to me and I hug him, rubbing his back, whispering to him that she was going to be ok and the baby was going to be ok. But I wasn't so sure.3
Jordan pulled away from me and I turned to Damien, his eyes were misty as well and captured me in a hug. I sobbed into his shoulder and a doctor came out moments later and addressed Jordan. As soon as we heard him say Alex's name we flew over there in a flash. 4
"How is she?" we all ask in unison. 5
The doctor stares at us for a moment and then glances at his clipboard, "are you family?" He asks us.6
Jordan cuts in before I can answer, "she is her sister, I'm her fiance and he is her boyfriend." He tells him, motioning toward me at the 'boyfriend part'. 7
The doctor nods, "at the angle that Alex fell, the baby was not harmed, however the impact cracked two of her ribs. She can leave in a few hours but she has to take it easy." He tells us.8
I feel like I'm going to pass out, they were ok. Just a couple cracked ribs and the baby was ok. Jordan looks as though he is going to cry in relief, "Can we see her?" He asks. The doctor nods and leads us into her room. 9
'She'll be slightly out of it, we gave her a mild sedative to help her rest and she was just coming to when I left." Explains the doctor. 10
We all nod and enter the room, Alex is lying on the hospital bed, her eyes are half closed but they widen and come to life when she sees us. She manages a weak, "hey." Jordan kisses her and I hug her gently, not wanting to hurt her. "The baby's alright." She croaks.11
We all nod, "the doctor told us," Damien explains. I put my arm around his waist, feeling comforted in the warmth of his body. I'm still shaking furiously from my nerves. I don't like hospitals but I stay there for Alex, she needs us. My knees are weak and I lock them together to keep from collapsing. 12
Two hours goes by before we are allowed to leave, Alex hobbles weakly out of the hospital, slightly hunched over, holding her stomach.13
"Ok, missy, no more trampoline for you until that baby is out and napping in it's bassinet." I say lightly but seriously at the same time. 14
She smiles weakly, "deal." 15
"And if you ever scare us like that again...I'm grounding you." I add with a wide smile.16
She laughs aloud then whimpers, I instantly feel bad for making her laugh. She and Jordan climb in her car and Damien and I head to ours. 17
We drive back to my house in silence, Damien holds my hand, rubbing the back of it softly with his thumb as he drives. I try to keep myself from crying as he pulls into the driveway. My mom's car is there...this is going to be fun. I think bitterly as he comes to a stop. Jordan and Alex pull in behind us and we all get out and head toward the front door.18
"Kami Jolene Heale where in the hell were you!" My mom shouts angrily. I wince at the scorn in her voice.19
"The hospital." I say quietly, giving Alex, Jordan and Damien a look that says, 'wait outside.' 20
"Do you have any idea how worried I was?!" She shouts as they walk out the door. I can hear a faint conversation break out outside. 21
I hang my head, "I'm sorry." I say quietly.22
"You're sorry? That's all you can say is that you're sorry! Kami I've been waiting here for an hour for you and I've had no idea if you'd been kidnapped, every horrible thing you can imagine ran through my head! You couldn't even leave me a note?!" She shrills.23
"Mom, Alex had an accident on the trampoline and we had to take her to the hospital because we were afraid she hurt the-her stomach or something." I say calmly, catching myself before I said 'the baby.'24
"And another thing, while you're actually talking to me...why haven't you been taking your depression medicine?" She interogats, "your other pills are getting less and less but-low and behold, your depression pills are still the same...why haven't you been taking them?" 25
"BECAUSE I'M NOT DEPRESSED!" I bellow angrily, "I'm not taking the pills because I'm not depressed, sorry if you were hoping to keep me doped up for the next month but it's not like it would do any good anyway!" I shout. She gives me a shocked look, "I'm not going to take it anymore! I know what's going on! I'm not stupid! I'm not dad!" 26
27
Bam. That hit hard, my mom looks shocked for a minute, she reels back and her hand collides with the side of my face making a flat noise. I feel my cheek getting hot, if it were a cartoon, steam would be pouring out of my mom's ears. "Get out of my face. I can't even look at you right now." She orders.28
I stare at her blankly for a few moments and turn around, stony faced. I open the door, and walk out staring at my shoes. 29
"We heard everything." Jordan tells me.30
I nod and look up at them, their eyes widen at the site of the hand print on my face, "let's go for a drive."31
