"Someone help!!" I yelled as I entered the emergency room. A couple of nurses ran towards me immediately when they saw the trail of blood that followed us into the waiting area.
"What happened, sir?" They asked directing me towards an open room. I explained that she had been pregnant for three months and how we were racing up the steps, "I turned around and she was bending over in pain then she passed out in my arms and a puddle of blood formed on our steps." I said as I set Callie down in the bed.
"She's losing a lot of blood." One nurse said as she started hooking Callie up to a bunch of tubes and IV's. I could feel the giant pit in my stomach forming. I started backing up towards the wall thinking of how much this reminded me of the Parker incident.
A nurse pulled me by my arm out into the waiting room and closed the door behind her. "No, I can't leave her!" I yelled trying to fight my way back into the waiting room. Another male nurse came running towards me and pulled me into a chair. "She's in good hands." They said pulling out a stack of forms.
"Sir, please fill out these forms while we find out what's wrong with your fiance. We'll let you know as soon as we find anything out." The nurse said walking back towards Callie's room. My hands were shaking uncontrollably but I managed to fill them out.
For the next 45 minutes I saw nurses and doctors running in and out of her room and it was killing me that I couldn't be in there with her. Finally the doctor came out of her room and headed towards me. "I'v seen that look before." I said remembering that same face from the last time we were in the hospital.
"Mr. O'Brien?" I shook my head yes, "Your fiance is going to be okay. She's sleeping now but she should be up soon." He stopped. "What about the baby?" I asked urgently. "I'm sorry sir but she unfortunately lost the baby."
I stuttered to a chair and sat down. I put my elbows on my thighs and cradled my face in my hands as I started crying. "Can I see her?"
He lead me back into her room and before I brought a chair over to her bed I kissed her head. I sat down in the chair and laced my fingers through hers and sat there crying. Every once in a while a nurse would come in to check on her and after an hour I decided to call Madeline and Tyler.I explained everything that happened on the phone except the part about losing the baby.
When they got here Madeline gave me a hug then ran over to Callie. We sat in silence for awhile then I finally had the courage to tell them, "Guys, we lost the baby." They looked at me confused then hugged me when tears started streaming down my face.
Madeline started crying and just as she was about to say something Callie interrupted her. "What's going on?" She asked in a raspy voice. "Cal!" I said running over to kiss her. I pressed the button that brought the doctor in.
The doctor came in then grabbed his clipboard and stood on the opposite side of the bed. "How are you feeling?" He asked. "Fine. Tell me what's going on!" Callie insisted.
The doctor looked at me and I gave him a nod to tell her. "I'm sorry ma'am but you lost your baby." Cal broke out in tears, "Why? What happened!? What did I do wrong?" She said almost yelling. "Cal, it's not your fault." I said trying to console her.
"The doctor prescribed you a medicine back when you had your coma that's not safe for pregnant women. Usually we don't prescribe this medicine for that reason, I'm sorry." He explained. Tears fell from Callie's eyes as the doctor left the room.
I thanked Madeline and Tyler for coming to see me then asked them to leave. Dylan climbed in the bed with me and wrapped his arms around me. I laid there in his arms crying until I had no more tears left.
Dylan fell asleep about an hour later and I stayed up for a little longer after that. But before I went to sleep I looked up at Dylan who was still asleep then quietly said, "I'm sorry for losing our child."
