The Beat of My
Heart <3
Chapter Two; Part Fourteen
Later on,
the nurse brought in a plate with a hamburger and steak fries for
me to eat. The burger was so bland I felt like I was eating meat
infused with sand, so I just ate the fries. Within two hours,
about 3PM, Dr. Saldagosa came in to tell me that I could be
discharged. The nurse came back in and took out my IV and gave me
a bag that my parents had dropped off with an outfit in it. Jax
walked in right as I finished putting on my hoodie.
"Ready to go Babe?" He asked
"Yea, but what house are we going
to?"
"Your parents, we don't exactly have
much in our house."
"Right, well I wasn't sure if you and
my parents went and moved stuff in or not when I was
out."
"Babe, I can't really do much,"
he said lifting his broken arm.
"Well, we mine-as-well go and look at
some baby stuff," I said rubbing my stomach.
We walked down the hospital hallways and eventually made our way
outside to the parking garage. I kept looking for Jax's car,
but couldn't find his midnight blue Camaro anywhere.
That's when I remembered the accident. When we finally found
the rental car Jax had, it's was a red Chevy Cobalt.
Definitely not a car Jax would pick out on his own.
The drive seemed pretty long to get to Meijer from the hospital.
I had so much on my mind. Every time I've ever been pregnant,
I can only get to four months before I miscarry, I hope that this
time it's different. I've never told Jax about the two
previous pregnancies, and now that he knows about this one, he
would be devastated if something happened. My mom had five
miscarriages before she had me. She's always wanted three
kids, but after my sister she was told if she had another it
would leave us all motherless. Secretly, I've always hoped my
mom and dad would decide to try again. I mean I'm sure
there's a way they can monitor the baby and my mom at the
doctor appointments, and plus, I've always wanted a little
brother.
When I finally got away from my thoughts, I realized that we were
sitting in Meijer's parking lot.
"How long have we been sitting
here?" I turned to Jax.
"About five minutes," he
replied.
"Oh. Sorry."
"What were you thinking about
Illy?"
I brought my hand to my stomach. I hope this works out, I thought
to myself.
"Baby shopping," I replied with a
smile.
Jax opened his door and was around to my side and opening the
door before I even had my seatbelt off.
