Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.
Chapter 18 - This Will Be Over My Dead Body
A doctor rushed around the corridor corner and straight up to me. He lifted my arm and started to beckon me to follow him without much speech.
"Get up. Come on, she refuses to sit still without you in there with her." He said, quickly rushing back.
I followed after him quickly, sliding across the laminated floor. The door snapped a little as he opened it onto her sitting bolt up in the hospital bed. She was kicking and screaming at the nurses, telling them not to touch her. She surprisingly still had an attitude, despite the pain she was in.
"SJ, calm down!" I called as i sat on the bed against her waist and held her down on the bed by her wrists. "I'm here. They aren't going to hurt you. I promise." I whispered, watching her begin to give into me.
A nurse injected a type of sedative in her arm in order to ease her down a little. She tried to fight it, but i was far to strong for her. Gradually she began to wind down, and complained of feeling dizzy and nauseous. I rubbed her stomach again, starring down onto it. Everything that we had planned for could be completely gone in these few hours.
A doctor started to pull some straps across her slightly bulging stomach and began to rub some gel across her stretched stomach skin. He pulled across his scanner and checked her using an ultra sound machine.
I looked at the ultra sound. It looked really strange and I wondered how on earth this guy could tell what was going on in there. He sat forward, and rubbed his chin. He looked really doubtful about what he was looking at. He called for some nurses to take a look.
"You see that?" He asked to me.
"See what?" I said, stepping closer to the screen and squinting into it.
"Do you want the good news?" He asked, standing up from the stool he was sitting on.
I nodded and looked him in the eye. He paused and then opened his mouth to speak. "Your baby is alive. Its a boy too." He said, hesitantly smiling.
My heart skipped a beat, I wanted to cry out. "You hear that SJ? The baby is fine!" I called out, watching her laugh at my merry dance. "But the bad news?" I asked, changing my tone to a more serious one.
"Your baby girl is dead." He replied to me, looking at my smile completely drop down.
"What?" SJ leaned forward, in as much confusion as me.
The doctor starred at me. "SJ is experiencing something we tend to call a vanishing twin."
I grabbed SJ's hand and squeezed it tightly. "We were going to have twins?" I asked, totally shocked.
The doctor nodded. "But not anymore, unfortunately. Sorry for your loss." He shamefully said, before leaving us alone and taking all of his staff with him.
I looked at SJ, I was really uncertain on what to say to her. I kept repeating the words the doctor had announced to me in my head just seconds ago. Twins, I thought.
SJ looked into my gaping wide eyes. "Oli." She whispered.
I swung my arms around her. "Yes?" I cried, hugging her closely.
"I'm sorry." She said, running her fingers through my hair. I held her tightly and never wanted to let go. I was really unsure about everything that was going on, but in this moment, all i wanted was SJ and nobody else.
