bounce back

97

family skate day, except i wont be participating in it.

but neither is maddie, she's literally due next week and she's strutting around like its nothing.

my body is hurting, and im ready for this little one to be out of me.

my back & feet ache. i have heart burn. my boobs hurt, plus i need to pump soon. and ive been having braxton hicks.

jack was skating with a teammates kid as i had my hand on my stomach and took a deep breath and let it out.

"you okay?" maddie asked.

"yeah, i think i just need to walk." i said.

i left the bench and started walking back towards the locker room.

getting dizzy is the last thing i remember.

"jack!"

i looked in the direction of the bench, seeing maddie wave me down as others waved our trainers over.

i handed brendens kid back to him and skated over.

"liv fell." maddie said.

"she fell?" i said, quickly hopping the boards.

there was a crowd in the hallway by the rack of extra sticks.

"liv?" i said, pushing my way through.

a trainer had her head steady as they carefully moved her to where her body was flat on her back.

"can you guys get back?" i demandingly asked.

the other wags & players quickly moved out of the way.

"livlyn?" i said.

"im okay." she said.

"we called an ambulance, shes got some blood coming from her head and with the baby." a trainer said.

"im fine." she said again.

"no. we'll get you checked out at the hospital." i said.

i changed from my skates to my shoes, but never left livs side.

that was until she was loaded into the ambulance and i had to drive the car.

i raced there, found a parking spot before jogging in.

"liv parker- im sorry, liv hughes-livlyn hughes" i said.

the lady blinked a couple times and then started typing, "im not seeing anything for a livlyn."

"she just got here on the ambulance." i said.

"check the ER." she said and pointed down a hallway.

does she have her phone?

im sure if she did she wouldn't be able to use it.

i jogged and another lady looked at me from behind the ER front desk, "livlyn?"

"yes." i said.

"room 7." she pointed.

i went down the hall and into her room.

"liv?"

"jack im fine." she said.

the nurse looked at me, "shes got a small cut on the back of her head, she'll need stitches, we are putting them in and then shes heading to the labor & delivery floor."

"why is she going there? shes not-is the baby okay? shes not in labor? right?"

"sir, its just a precaution. she'll get testing done up there and we'll know more about the baby health." he said, trying to calm me down.
