Shattered Dreams - Broken Promises

Chapter 15

Amber's View

I wasn't able to fall asleep after putting Arrianna to bed. I had just gotten a sharp pain in my stomach again. I sat up and waited to see what would happen next. After ten minutes of sitting there with nothing happening I decided it was probably all the weird food that I've been craving and laid back down to try to go to sleep. As soon as my head hit the pillow I felt it again, this time more painful then the others.

“Honey, wake up!” I said roughly shaking AJ. He just grumbled something and turned around to face the other way. “AJ!” I shouted.
“What?” he said grumpily, half asleep.
“Oh my God, something's wrong!”
“What? What's wrong?!” AJ asked, now fully awake and sitting up in bed.
“I think I 'm having contractions,” I said as another wave of pain hit me causing me to double over.
“You can't be having contractions…not yet…you're only 7 months pregnant! It's too early for you to be having contractions!” he said panicking as he jumped out of bed and turned on the light.
“I know…I think I need to go to the hospital,” I said struggling to get out of the bed.
“Yeah, I'll call Rhonda and let her know that she needs to come watch Arrianna.” He grabbed my hand and helped me out of bed, I hurriedly changed into the first thing I pulled out of my closet as AJ called Rhonda.

Rhonda's View

“Hello?”
“Rhon – Can you come over here?” AJ asked with panic in his voice.
“What's wrong?”
“It's Amber...and the baby...can you come over here?”
“I'm on my way.”

I went into Nick's room where he was playing video games. “Something is wrong with Amber and the baby. AJ is taking her to the hospital...I gotta go over there and watch Arrianna.”
“Do you want me to come over there with you?”
“No – stay here with Nikki and Jacob. I'll call you when I hear something.”
