Stuck On You

Chapter 34: Oh Baby

She picked up an iPad from the end of my bed and looked it over as I sighed.

“That’s good… I guess,” trying to make myself feel better.

“You, however, had a bruised rib, and a slight concussion besides the few other cuts and bruises you

got. You were lucky, but we need to keep you until that rib heals up a bit more. We don’t want it to

break and hurt the baby,” the doctor explained. I stopped breathing. It felt like I was entering a dream.

Everything was starting to get fuzzy.

“B-baby?” I whispered, thoroughly stunned. A look of regret crossed the doctor’s face.

“Did you not know that you were pregnant?” she asked me hesitantly. I shook my head as a stray tear

left my eye.

“You have to promise me that Hayden is going to be okay,” I said hoarsely. I was trying my best not to

cry again. I felt my eyes water anyway. The doctor sighed and put the iPad back.

“All I can promise is that we’ll do our best. You can start accepting visitors now. I’ll come back later with

a sonogram machine to check in on the baby. You’ll probably be released in a few days,” she said,

changing the subject. She left and a nurse brought me a cup of ice chips. I was worried about Hayden.

I needed Hayden to be okay. I needed Hayden to live.

A few minutes later, Quinn was poking her head into the wash-white room. Lana, Jason, Kendra,

Bradley, and Luca came in after her. My heart dropped when I realized that Hayden wouldn’t be coming

in behind them.

“How are you feeling?” Luca asked. I couldn’t find my words. Those simple four words sent me

spiraling again. I felt my eyes start to water. I tried to hold them back, but the more I tried, the harder it

became to hold them back. I shook my head as I closed my eyes. Quinn sat next to me in the bed and

put an arm around me. I subconsciously put a hand over my stomach. I leaned my head against her

shoulder as my tears fell again. She shushed me and eventually, it worked. I sighed and looked to

Luca.

“We’re fine. Have you heard anything about Hayden?” I asked.

“We?” Quinn picked out.

“Yeah,” I breathed, looking down to my stomach. “We,” I repeated.

“Wait, you’re…?” Lana trailed off.

“Have you heard anything about Hayden?” I asked again. Everyone was quiet as they all exchanged a

look.

“He got out of surgery a while ago. He’s in a coma… they don’t know when he’ll wake up,” Jason said

softly. I let out a sigh of relief; Hayden was okay.

“Back to this ‘we’,” Lana said.

“I’m pregnant. I just found out a while ago. The doctor told me,” I explained.

“And Hayden?” Kendra asked.

“Of course,” I said, appalled that she would even think that. “I’ve only ever been with Hayden,” I said.

“Well, when are you going to be released?” Luca asked. I shrugged.

“The doctor is going to check in with the baby and make sure that my rib is healed a little more,” I

explained.

“Hayden is in a coma, but they started letting family into his room one at a time. You’re more family to

him than all of us combined; especially now. You’ve been great for him, really. I didn’t think that he

would ever settle down, but he…he had a ring picked out for you. He was planning on proposing to you

at our gig in a week,” Luca spilled. The way that he was talking about I looked at him shocked. That

was something that I didn’t know. I couldn’t help but to notice that he used past tense.

“She wasn’t supposed to know that!” Quinn said, reaching over and hitting his arm. I sighed and

covered my face with my hands.

“I wanted her to know, just in case-”

“Please,” I said hoarsely as my eyes watered. “Please, stop.” Luca gave me a sympathetic look.

“I’m sorry,” he said softly before he left. The others left until it was only Quinn. She sat in the seat next

to my bed as we heard a light knock. My doctor walked in with another doctor and a machine rolling in

a behind her. She smiled lightly.

“Are you ready to see your baby?” she asked. Quinn got up to leave but I reached out and grabbed her

hand.

“Stay, please,” I asked. She squeezed my hand lightly before she nodded.

“Hi, I’m Dr. Brown, I’m a resident OBGYN and sonogram technician,” the second doctor introduced.

She pulled out a bottle of clear bluish gel. “This will be a little cold,” she warned. She squeezed the gel

on to my stomach. It hurt my rib slightly when I sucked in a deep breath. I winched slightly as she used

a wand and rubbed it across my stomach. After a moment, Dr. Brown smiled lightly and pointed to

something on the screen.

“Oh my God, Jordyn… you’re going to be a mom,” Quinn smiled softly.

“And are you keeping the baby?” Dr Brown asked me. I hesitated. I wanted to keep the baby, but if

Hayden didn’t pull through, I didn’t know if I could do it alone.

“Jordyn,” Quinn said unsurely.

“I don’t know,” I answered honestly. I looked to the other doctor. “Have you heard anything about

Hayden?” I asked her again.

“As of now, he’s in a coma. The accident severed his spine. He might be paralyzed, but we won’t know NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

for sure when or if he’ll recover until he wakes up,” she explained.

“When will he wake up?” I asked.

“That’s completely up to him,” she answered. I sighed and looked back to the sonogram screen. I

smiled lightly when I saw my baby; our baby.

“How far along am I?” I asked Dr. Brown. She moved the wand around a little more as she studied the

screen.

“There’s no way to know for sure, but you’re somewhere around 6-8 weeks,” she answered. My

eyebrows shot up. I was already that far along? How had I not known? I knew that I’d missed a period,

but I thought that was because I was about to switch birth control, so it threw my system off. I let out a

breath. I was pregnant. I was really pregnant.
