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 Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

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.
