Spotting

The nursery room was getting painted by the Aveyard brothers, while catching up on sports and music, mean while Estella was in the pool doing some kicks underwater, like her doctor suggested, along with her bestfriend and her nephew, who was now a year and two months old.

So far the pregnancy was doing well, apart from the accident that happened 2 months ago.

GREYSON

I had gotten up early that day, so I could cook my wife some breakfast and bring it to bed. Mostly because yesterday she had gone to bed early due to cramps she was feeling the night before. We knew that during pregnancy there were going to be pain. That's why yesterday I suggested her to go lay down while I went out to grab some ice cream. As I was at the store she had sent me a message with a list of juck food she was craving for.

I spent all the rest of the day by her side once I got back from the store, I wanted her mind to not jump to conclusions of anything going wrong, which I knew she would eventually do, mostly because when she's on her period she doesn't suffer of so many cramps just her back ache during it.

I didn't like seeing Estella in this type of pain, so my mind would only think and imagine of the pain she would go through once it was time to deliver.

As I entered my room, I saw she was already up and upset. I set the tray of food on the nightstand and took a seat by her. " You feeling better?" I ask already feeling like I knew the answer.

I set my hand on her leg and rubbed it. " I'm afraid and I know you are too. Please stop pretending" she whispered out looking down to her hands that were intertwined.

I let out a sigh. " I'm sorry, it's true. I am afraid. I want you to be safe. I want these two Precious little girls to be healthy. But we know there're risks. Which we both agreed to not let it get in our heads, until the moment came.." I say taking her hands in mine.

" What if the moment came." She lift up her head as she said that and teared up.

" Why would you think that?" I ask looking her straight in the eyes. I could feel she was getting uncomfortable. " What aren't you telling me?"

"It hurt to sit up, I got up anyway and I peed and I noticed I.....I bled and I'm afraid I might be having a miscarriage." She let those words come out of her mouth as if it was nothing, along with the tears.

My movements were quick on toes. I went straight into the bathroom to see she had flushed the toilet, so what I did next was pulled the sheets that were covering my wife's body. Just to reveal as Estella opened her legs wider a small blood stain on her shorts.

Not gonna lie I was in panic mode. I didn't realize what I was doing until I heard Estella wince of what seem like another cramp, making me realize I was currently driving over the speed limit on our way to the hospital.

My wife was taken away from my sight as I registered in, as quickly as I could, I filled out the files. Then I called my brother, but told him not to alarm his wife, that he had to come and support me and Estella. Which at the time seem to be the best option.

I was sitting in the waiting room alone with Eric, who had gotten there less then an hour ago. I was quick on my feet as soon as I saw Dr. Nelson.

" Please tell me everything is okay. Please tell me she's okay" I practically begged her to say there were no complications.

" Mr.Aveyard, please calm down and follow me to my office. " She told me, we quickly followed right behind.

As Dr. Nelson and Eric took a seat at her desk, I was too nervous to sit, why is she taking forever, doesn't she realize my wife and kids are in danger.

"Come on Grey, sit" Eric commanded me and I did so.

" Okay, this must be bad. Why aren't you talking?" I said loudly.

" Greyson... stop, calm down." My big brother place his large hand on my shoulder.

" I'm sorry, to have kept you waiting..." as those words came out of her mouth, all I had was bad thoughts, come and go. "as you know, your wife, Estella is having twins, plus her condition, it's gonna be difficult, there are no grantees that the pregnancy will go through all the way, what happened today is very frequent in many pregnancies, and even in normal patients." She continued to explain to us, but I only wanted to know if she was okay.

" She had some spotting. It's more frequent to happen to women who are carrying two babies, so I can assure you it's okay and the cramps, her lower abdominal pain and painful urination are symptoms of a urinary tract infection."

" okay, does this affect anyone.? " Eric ask.

" It could cause an early labor and or babies with low weight if not treated properly and early." She answered.

" How do we treat this infection?" I asked.

" antibiotics, followed by 6-8 glasses of water each day and unsweetened cranberry juice regularly. This will help her increase her to pee more often and prevent any further damage." She says as she writes the prescription. " May I say avoid intercourse while she's being treated for a UTI." She added.

"Did you have this talk already with Estella.?" My brother asked.

" Yes, I did explain to her of the UTI. but I didn't mention the 'its possible this won't go through' part, but like I said I must, because as a doctor I can't hide information from my patients, but couldn't find the courage to tell your wife, so I had to tell you, the risks did increase and please know I also don't enjoy taking away joy from families, especially cases like Estella's, this maybe her only shot of forming a family, I want to be able to help you guys get through this with no complication and I'm sure so do you and your wife, that's why in case of any further bleeding and or cramps, or any other types of symptoms please call me." She says handing us her personal information.
