Cupcakes and Worksouts

It's been a week since the barbecue. During the past week we went to the doctor. I'm two months in the pregnancy. My morning sickness hasn't got better, but it hasn't gotten any worse. The girls came over to check on me every second day. It's like we are family, they are here every step of the way. Every time I see Carl's wife Maura, I think of what happened. I feel awful, but nothing actually happened. Lucas scared him off pretty good. He hasn't left my side very much except to go to work. I've gone out a couple times with no issues.

We woke up on a Saturday, Lucas was sleeping when I woke up. For some reason I wanted him awake, so I woke him. I crawled on top of him and sat up straddling him. He was on his stomach so I sat in the arch of his back and pushed on his back. He woke up and turned his head as much as possible.
"Mmm what..?"
"Baby is awake so daddy has to be awake."
"I need sleep. And so do you."
"Nope. This momma and baby is awake. And we felt alone and wanted you awake."
"Babe, I have no work today. Just lay and sleep is all I wanna do."
"Babe we need to find out more on why we are here. So I am getting up and I'm calling our friends over to come relax in our back yard by the pool."
"Or we could just have a day together."
"The girls are coming over anyways. You know they come and check on me every second day."
"I know. It's just a Saturday. All I want is to sleep and be with you."
"Alright... I'll go text the girls and tell them I'm spending the day with you."
"Thank you."

A couple hours pasted and we eventually got out of bed and came downstairs and cuddled on the couch. Carl's wife Maura texted me and said she was stopping in to drop some stuff of by the girls. Lucas was making us lunch and we hear a knock on the door. I go and open it to Maura and she comes in with a basket.
"Hey, the girls thought you and the baby would like some healthy goodies. So we all made you different snacks like cupcakes, squares and stuff."
"Thank you, That's very sweet of y'all."
"We just wanna make sure you're okay."
"I am thank you, Lucas has been taking great care of me."
"I'm glad to hear. Well, I'll leave you two alone so you can have your day together."
"Thanks Maura. I'll be chatting with ya." She leaves and I bring the goodies to the island and sit down. Lucas Finishes lunch and takes my basket away, he sits beside me and we eat our BLT sandwich. Once done I was tired so I went on the couch and fell asleep.

When I woke I got up and yelled for Lucas. He didn't answer, so I looked for him. I kept yelling and I see feet from behind the island in the kitchen. I run over and Lucas is laying on the floor.
"Lucas!?" I kneel down beside him and shake him. "Luke... baby please wake up!" I grab my phone and call 911. I tell them everything I knew and a few minutes later the ambulance shows up and takes him. I follow but I see a cupcake from the basket Maura dropped off with a bite taken out of it on the floor. I grab it and take it with me and get on the ambulance with him.

We get to the hospital and the doctors look after him and I'm stuck in the waiting room. I gave the cupcake to the doctor so he could test it. I sit there freaking out and looking at my phone. I get a text from Samantha.
-Hey, is everything okay? Saw the ambulance at your house?!-
-I found Lucas unconscious in our Kitchen, I don't know what happened-
-Oh honey, I'm gonna come to you. You shouldn't be alone right now. I'll be right there.-
-Thank you. But you don't have too come if you don't want too.-
-I am coming. Be there soon-
I set my phone in my pocket and sit in the chair. I wipe a few stray tears that have fallen. I can't lose him... I've lost Jimi and Elijah... I can't lose him too. I cry a lot now. I didn't realize how long I was crying but I seen Samantha and the girls. I know they were there but I didn't really know they were. I was too concerned with Lucas I didn't realize they were all here trying to calm me down.

After a while a doctor came out and called my name. I stood and walked over.
"How is my husband? Is he okay?"
"You're husband is gonna be fine. The cupcake you brought in was tested for chemicals and toxins. It came back positive and we were able to counteract it before it could affect your husband." I nod and sniff wiping away stray tears.
"Do you know who could have done this..?"
"I don't know..."
"Okay, Lucas is awake and asking for you. He's in the third door to the right."
"Thank you." I shake his hand and go to him. I open the door and shut it as I look at him with watery eyes and Lucas looks at me.
"Hey baby, come here... don't cry" I walk over and sit on his bed side.
"Are you okay?"
"I am. Are you?"
"You're the one in the hospital bed and you're asking me if I'm okay?"
"We both know those cupcakes and everything in that basket was for you. And I need to make sure you stay safe. One of the girls wanted you in here or dead."
"Baby please relax. Don't worry right now. Just worry about getting better and coming home."
"I always worry about you, especially now with you being pregnant. And whatever was in that cupcake affect me physically."
"What do you mean? What's wrong?"
"Don't panic, I'm gonna be a little weak and slow."
