Chapter Two Part Thirteen
Opening
my eyes I saw Jax leaning his head against a wall. His arm was in
a sling, and he looked like his world had just been shattered.
Across from Jax were my parents holding hands and sitting
uncomfortable looking plastic chairs.
"Where am I? What happened? Jax," I
said.
"Illiana! You're up!" My mom
said jumping to her feet.
"Nurse!! She's up!" Jax
yelled.
"Oh my word, how do you feel Illy dear?"
My dad asked.
"Okay, first, you all need to stop
yelling; I have a headache. Second, what am I doing in here? And
third, other than this headache I feel fine," I said
answering everything in order.
"Illy, you're in Newport Bay
Hospital. On the way back from signing the papers at the realtors
office, we were side-swiped by a truck. The driver blew the stop
sign. The police said he had to be going about 90 miles per hour.
You've been asleep for six days," Jax finished saying as
the nurse walked in.
"Illiana can you tell me what day it is?
You're been out for six days," she said shining a light
in my eyes.
"Uhh... Monday. I think."
"How old are you and when is your
birthday?" She asked.
"18, and my birthday is July second. Can
I have something for this headache?"
"Your headache is from the concussion
you're recouperating from, and I'll see if you can have
anything."
"Eiryn, can you get the ultrasound
machine for me?" She asked to another nurse.
"Ultrasound machine? For like, a
baby?" I asked giving Jax a questioning look. Jax
smiled.
"Um, well, yes," she said while
squirting gel onto my stomach.
"Wait a second. I'm not
pregnant!"
"Actually Dear, you are. Six months to be
exact," she said.
"Can't be. I took a pregnancy test
six days ago, and it--" I started to say just as I heard a
heartbeat.
"Do you want to know what it is?"
She asked.
"Sure. Hit me with it." Jax grabbed
my hand.
"Lets see here--" she said as she
moved the wand around a little "-- Looks like you have a....
Boy. Congratulations."
"That's our son Illy; Abel Wyaat
Blackburn," he said with a smile.
"Is he alright?" I asked the
nurse.
"Yes, he's perfectly fine," she
said. Then, who I'm guessing is my doctor, walked in.
"Illiana Dawson. I'm DR. Micheal
Saldagosa, I'm just going to check you real fast, then lets
see if we can get you home soon," he said.
He
checked my vitals, made sure my pulse was fine and then said:
"Illiana, you're fine. We'll get
you something to eat and once you finish that we'll get you
checked out," DR. Saldagosa said.
