Ch. 20
Mila...
Ethan was so happy that I was giving our child his last name. Andrew John Ortiz, it sounds perfect. I know it's going to be a boy, I don't want to know the gender and I want to be surprised. I haven't come up with a girl's name but I do have to come up with one.
It's been a couple of months, I'm almost 6 months pregnant and I've been back to work. It keeps my mind off the stuff that is going on in my life. I'm living with Ethan it's been about a month and I'm getting to know the pack as well. I stay a night with my mom on her day off. We catch up on what's going on with our lives, she told me that the bed and breakfast keep her busy. Lately, she says people have been coming by to stay a night or two but it mostly couples just to get away for the weekend.
I"m walking towards the door when I see Alfonso and Tom were outside the store talking to some girls, I see the smile on Alfonso's face, he likes this girl. As I walk out getting ready to lock the door I heard Alfonso say, "I'll be right there Mila." I turned to look at Alfonso with a smile and the girl gives him a dirty look. Then Alfonso whispered in her ear, she looks back up at me with a small smile. She probably thought I was his girlfriend, "hello my Love." I smiled knowing who that is. I turned around looking into his beautiful eyes and my smile turned into a worried face, "what happened?" I asked looking scared for him.
"It was nothing, Love, we just came across some unwanted Rogues and we fought them," he says as he grabs my bag from my hand.
"And you didn't bother to let me know by a text or call?" I said a little angrily.
"Don't get yourself work up Love, it was just a few Rogues that we fought with, they surrendered themselves knowing that they couldn't beat us. I let them go with a warning," he says as he grabs my hand and we started to walk out of the mall.
Alfonso came running behind us, so did Tom as we all walk out of the mall we said our goodbyes to Tom. We were driving up to the packhouse and Ethan park the car in the garage. As we were all getting out, "see you all later," Alfonso says and took off. Ethan grabs my hand as we walk up the stairs he opens the door it went straight in between the kitchen and the dining room of our place.
"Go change into some comfortable clothes while I put dinner on the table or do you want to sit on the couch and eat there?" Ethan asked.
"The couch does sound more comfortable, my feet do hurt," I said.
"Go change and I'll massage your feet, how is our baby doing?" he asked.
"He is good, moving like crazy, I hope he will let me sleep tonight," I said it more like a complaint as I'm rubbing my belly.
"Come here, Love," he stretches out his arm to me.
I walk towards him as he sits on the bed as I finished up changing out of my work clothes into a comfy shirt and shorts. He grabs my legs softly puts them on his lap and starts rubbing my feet, my gosh that feels so good, I moan because how it feels so good and then I heard him growled softly.
"Sorry," I said apologetically looking at him.
"It's okay my Love, you sound sexy," he smiled then he winks at me.
Ethan stop rubbing on my legs and end up picking me up, I squealed as he carried to our living room and sits me down on the comfy couch.
"I didn't know what you want to eat because of your cravings I decided to make a little of everything," he says as he points to the table in front of us.
I was looking at the food on the table, he got Chinese food, hot crunchy Cheetos, and he made beef enchiladas, rolled up fried taquitos and green salad. My gosh, everything looks so good, my stomach growled looking at all this food.
"I did go out and got your Chinese food and crunchy hot Cheetos because you've been craving those like crazy and of course made all this other stuff," he points out.
"It's perfect," I smiled licking my lips.
We sat there eating our food it was so good, he had the tv on but I really wasn't paying any attention.
There was a knock at the door, Ethan got up. He opens the door and it was Alfonso.
" Sorry to interrupt you guys, I need to talk to you my brother," he says looking at Ethan.
He steps out and I continue eating my dinner.
Ethan looks at me and excused himself, I just kept on eating. As I was enjoying my dinner I felt a little pain that started between my legs, I look down at my baby in my tummy and started to breathe heavy. I felt pain starting to increase and I yelled as I held on to my belly. Ethan and Alfonso slam the door open and ran towards me.
"Love, what's wrong?" Ethan had this scary look on his face.
"I, I don't know, something wrong with the...." I scream again.
I felt wet between my legs as I was trying to look down.
"Love, your bleeding," he says as he picks me up and started running out.
"Ethan, where are you taking me," as I was breathing hard trying to maintain this pain.
"Clinic, the doctor is meeting us there," he says.
I grip hard on his shoulder as the pain increase, "we're almost there," Ethan says.
Alfonso opens the door and rushes into a room. I see the doctor, "okay, let me check her over and I will let you know what's going on," she says as she pushes Alfonso and Ethan out. Ethan growls I look at him, "it's okay Ethan," as we both look at each other worried. "Call my mom, please," I said as Ethan nods his head yes to me then closed the door.
Ethan...
I was going crazy worried about Mila, God I hope the baby okay, "no worries bro, she strong, she going to be alright," Alfonso says putting his hand on my shoulder.
The door burst open and Andres came in looking worried, "what's wrong? I heard through the pack that you were running here with Mila in your arms," he says as he was slowing his breathing down.
"Mila, she, she bleeding and in lots of pain, the doctor is checking to see if she okay and the baby too," I said looking down.
"She going to be okay, what she been through she will be okay and the baby too," Andres says as he gave me a guy hug.
At the beginning Mila didn't care for Andres because of how he approached her, she said she felt uncomfortable around him. Today she is okay with Andres as he is okay with her. Most of the pack already met her, it doesn't bother them that she is pregnant, they are sad that this happened to her. "Shit!" Forgot to call Mila's mom. "I already called her and she is on her way," Alfonso says looking at me worried.
"Thanks."
I sat there holding my head with my hands praying everything okay. The door opens up, "Alpha, please come in," one of the doctor's assistance said.
I got up slowly walking into the room going crazy wondering what is wrong with Mila and the baby. I look at Mila tears streaming down her cheeks, I went up to her grab her hands, "what's wrong?" I asked looking at Mila.
"It's her cervix, it looks like she might have this baby early," the doctor says as she looks at me.
"What do you mean early?" I asked looking confused.
"It's called cervical insufficiency, that means is when the cervix opens too early in a pregnancy. I want to keep her off her feet, which means no more working, no taking walks or going for runs. We are going to keep you off your feet to see if this can keep the baby from coming out early. Now if this doesn't work, then the baby will come early. The baby is doing fine if it does happen and the baby comes within this month the baby will be in an incubator," the doctor says as she looks at us. "We want to keep you here Mila, for a few days or more, I want to monitor you and the baby," the doctor says as she gets up from the chair.
We both nod our heads as the doctor leaves us. Mila starts to cry, "Love," I said as I sat down next to her and let her cry on my shoulders.
"Mila!" her mom walks in looking scared.
She sat on the other side of Mila, "I'll be back, okay," I look at Mila as she nods her head and turns to her mom hugging her and crying.
I walk out to talk to the guys and they were just sitting there looking worried. "Hey, how the baby and Mila," right away Alfonso asked.
"The doctor said that her cervix is opening meaning she can deliver the baby anytime. Mila going to be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. She said that she wants Mila to carry the baby for as long as she can but she is pretty sure that the baby will be coming early," I look up at Alfonso who has tears in her eyes. I went up to him and hug my brother.
Mila...
I'm hugging my mom tight, my stupid body can't even hold my baby. I hate myself, I can't even keep my baby safe. "mom, I'm going to be a bad mom."
"What? Are you crazy, you are not going to be a bad mom, why would you say that?" she asked.
"Because I can't carry the baby to full term," I started crying more.
"Sweetheart, things like this happen to other females, what, do you think that you are the only person going through this? No, this happens to many women out there. The sad part is that it happened to you. You are one of the women that it happened too, now we are going to have to take extra care of you and the baby. We are going to take it as far as your body can take it so no more of this bad mom thing. You know where your body stands and now all you gotta do is stay in bed and keep my grandchild in there for as long as you can, you hear me?" she looks at me as I wipe my tears.
"Yes mom, thanks," I hug her back holding her longer.
I let go of my mom and laid back on the table (not really a table, it has cushion but it's hard) that they had me on. "Do you need anything right now?" mom asked.
"Yeah, I want to lay on something comfortable, can you asked the Doctor where she going to keep me at because it's not comfy right here," I said as I was about to get off. "NO! Stay there and keep your legs up. Remember for the baby's sake," mom says and I nodded yes.
My mom left the room and Ethan never came back, I wonder where he went to. I turned sideways because laying on my back hurt. I covered myself up and started thinking of my baby, I put my hands on my belly and started rubbing it. "I promise to keep you, safe baby, I love you," I said talking to my stomach. That is when I felt a small kick, I smiled closing my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
