Chapter 12:

Taylor's POV:

I paced around the hospital waiting room for what seemed like an eternity. I wasn't thinking clearly at all. My mind was a mess. I had called Jeremy and Hayley's mom over on my way to the hospital. They arrived about 20 minutes after we did.

I rode in the ambulance with Hayley and it broke my heart to see her lying on the stretcher with an oxygen mask on. The whole way over i had her hand in mine and I couldn't help but pray that everything will be ok. Somehow I felt that something was wrong.

"Hayley?" I looked over to see a nurse standing there. Christi walked up to her and I couldn't get a good listen.

Finally Christi walked over to us and told us that we could see her now. I almost ran through the doors and went straight to the room where Hayley was to be.

I slowly opened the door and there she was laying with all kinda of needles coming out of her body. The oxygen machine still hooked on her and now she had a heart monitor that beeped like crazy. She was still unconscious and breathing very weakly.

I stood there on the foot of the bed looking down at her. I couldn't move a muscle even if I tried. Finally she began to move. Her eyes fluttered open and I sighed out of relief. Her mother hugged her with tears in her eyes and I felt my own start to do the same. I whipped them off as Jeremy came over giving me a hug. We both had a smile on our face. There was a sense of relief that came over the room.

I walked over to Hayley kissing her forehead deciding to give her and her mom some time to talk.

Hayley's POV:

As soon as my mom left home Taylor walked in. I smiled at him as he took a seat beside the bed holding my hand.

"How are you feeling?" He asked looking extremely worried.

"I'm feeling a little queazy but I think it's just all this medication in my system." I said trying to get a laugh out of him instead I got a tearful Taylor.

"Hey, I'm going to be fine babe. The doctors had some tests done on me. They should know what's going on pretty soon, right?" I said as he nodded.

"Where's Jerm?" I asked suddenly remembering he was here earlier.

"He went home, said he was glad you were ok, but he was tired with all the wedding prep. That is going on. He sends his love over this way." He said in a serious tone.

I sighed. "Taylor, I know you're scared but I'm scared too. Not knowing what is wrong with me is terrifying me, but please I need you to be hopeful for me. Can you try?"

He nodded about to say something when all of a sudden a doctor came in. I completely tensed up holding on to Taylor's hand for dear life. I felt his hand grip tighten up as well.

"Hello Ms. Williams, I'm Dr. Demetrio."

We both introduced ourselves.

"Alright, let's see", he opened up a chart that was hanging by the white board placing some papers he had inside it.

"Well you know earlier when you first came into the ER it is procedure to run tests on the patient to figure out what is wrong." He said. "Well I have the results of the test." He paused, "would you like this to be private? Or?" He said motioning at Taylor.

"He's fine."

"Very well, well the blood results we did on you indicate that you are about 3 and a half weeks pregnant, but since you have been taking birth control, this pregnancy could be deadly to you, that Is if the fetus survives. The pill is working against your pregnancy and there is a big possibility that you could suffer a miscarriage."

At this moment I felt Taylor's eyes on me. I couldn't think straight. My hand subconsciously touched my stomach and a stinging pain rushed over my body.

"Is there anything we can do?" I said not really wanting to kill off my baby.

"Well what we can do is keep you here monitoring you until your pregnancy becomes more steady, but that can be deadly to you."

"I'm keeping the baby."

"Hayley," I heard Taylor say to me but I completely ignored it.

"Very well, I will write this down on your charts and be back to check up on you." He said hanging up the charts and leaving closing the doors behind him.

"Hayley," I turned to Taylor seeing tears forming in his eyes. "I think we should talk about this more,"

"There's nothing to talk about, you and I both know that we have to give this," I patted my stomach ignoring the pain it caused me, "our baby the best chance at life it can have. And if my life is to be taken away then so be it."

Taylor said nothing instead climbing over to me burying his face in my neck as I felt his breathing become rapidly as the tears flowed down his eyes onto my skin. At this point I couldn't help but cry as well.

I could lie to myself and say that everything will work out in the end but I knew that as much as I tried to deny it, I was scared to die.
