Lost And Found

Part 19 (Family Only)

"The baby's umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck."

"Oh my God, is she-"

"She's fine, these things are normal but hers is wrapped three times."

"Jesus Christ." I sob.

"We're gonna try moving her with a couple of massages if it doesn't work, we will have to do surgery."

"Is that even possible?"

"It's risky, for both of you. But not impossible... We'll start today, but I need you to come back tomorrow morning. I can teach you so you or your husband can continue doing it at home..."

"Okay."

The doctor massages my belly for a while, hoping that she can rotate little by little. I didn't want to tell Blake this over the phone so I wait till he gets home tonight... Diana told me to tell him right away, but I don't want him to lose focus for his stupid game. God knows if he'll blame me for playing without concentration.

**Later that day:

I was in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about the baby. I know we still have some months left, hopefully. But I want to start looking for names. As I lay there wondering and worrying I hear noises around the house. Should I go out there and check it out? I mean, what if there're robbers? Oh who cares? No one hurts a pregnant woman, right? I step out and follow the noises to the kitchen and see a couple...

"Hi." They get startled. "Can I help you?" I ask with my heart racing.

"Who are you?"

"Um... who are you?"

"You're in our son's house so.."

"Oh! Oh my God I'm sorry. I'm Freya."

"Gail. This is my husband Tommy." We shake hands.

"I'm sorry Blake didn't say you were coming."

"Oh, it's a surprise. They just lost the series so he's probably going to be bummed and angry... I don't want to sound rude but, how do you know our son?"

How does she not know about me? "He's a friend."

"And you're in his house because?" Another voice joined the conversation. I turn around and see yet another couple... The guy looked a hell of a lot like Blake so I'll assume it's his brother and his girlfriend.

"I'm staying here for a while."

"Your husband okay with that? Or is he staying here too?" He asks a bit rude.

"Husband?" Does he know Marc?!

"Well I see I ring on your finger and you're pregnant so..."

"Oh... no. I'm actually getting divorced. My soon to be ex-husband isn't so nice. Blake offered me a room for a while. But I'm leaving today, right now actually." I turn to leave.

"You don't have to leave, sweetie. You should stay to support Blake. Brynn is on her way with Ford too."

"No, this is obviously a family thing. I don't want to intrude... It was nice meeting you."

"You too." I go upstairs and start packing. I can't believe this right now!

I desperately call Diana, telling her that I'm going to stay with her.

"Why? What happened?" She asks over the phone.

"I'll tell you when I see you. Just get here, please!"
