We Are The Kids Of War And Peace, chapter 3
"What news? Honey?", Billie Joe asked looking at her. Pippet dropped her head and shook it gently.
"I'll tell you after babe alright?", she told him, getting up off the bed. He picked up her hand quickly causing her to look back at him.
"Pippet, tell me", he asked her softly rubbing her fingers gently with his own. She shook her head.
"Jared you stay in here with dad alright. Mommy's going to go talk to the doctor", she told him ruffling his hair. He sat up with his dad on the bed and looked at him.
"Dad its okay, mommy will be alwight", Jared told him. Billie smiled and hugged his son.
"Yeah I know she will, I know she will", Billie told Jared tickling him a little.
"DAD... ... DON'T... ... ", he screamed ticking his dad back. Although it hurt like nothing he had ever felt before Billie let his son go ahead and attack him, since he knew Jared meant no harm.
-THE DOCTORS OFFICE-
"You mean I'm... ... ", Pippet put her hands over her mouth and smiled almost bursting into tears. The doctor nodded.
"But but ma'am you have to understand the risk in having this child", he told her. Pippet didn't really seem to care. Last time when she was pregnant with Jared they told her that she wasn't going to be able to have another baby. It was proved wrong. She was pregnant again and she wasn't letting this one go.
"It doesn't matter", she told the doctor trying to get up. Tre made her sit down.
"Pippet he's here to help you", he explained to her. She knew Tre was right, so she sat there for as long as she needed to.
"See the thing is Mrs Armstrong, is that you've developed a fallopian tube cancer meaning that this could spread to the baby", he told her. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. Why did good news always come with bad?
"So you mean?", she asked. The doctor tried to put this as nicely as he could.
"You may have a miscarriage, you may go through with the pregnancy but the baby dies or in worst cases you get infected full with the cancer too". Pippet put her head in her hands and cried softly. It was all she could do. Nothing else felt right.
"Pippet honey its gonna be okay", Tre told her rubbing her back. She looked back up at the doctor.
"How much of a percent chance to we have that the baby is going to live?", she asked.
"About 55%", the doctor explained to her. She pushed her hair back and got up.
"Thankyou doctor", she said walking out.
Katty and Mike were waiting outside wondering what the news was all about.
"So honey?", Katty asked smiling.
"I'm definitely pregnant", Pippet told her smiling as Katty hugged her like she hadn't seen her in years. Mike rubbed her back and asked her why she was so down and blue then.
"They don't think the baby's going to survive", she told them both starting to get teary. Mike hugged her automatically going into his 'caring big brother' mode.
"Pippet, everything happens for a reason", he started, "Maybe this time you'll just have to let fate take its toll, no mater how good or bad". She looked at him and smiled.
"I will Mikey, I will", she told him getting go of him and walked back to the room Billie Joe and Jared where in.
"Poor baby", Katty said hugging Mike. He wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her.
"Sometimes I really do agree with her that the worlds against her", he whispered. Katty smiled and walked him off with Tre so they could go get some coffee and leave the others to be alone.
"Jared, can you go find uncle Mikey, he wanted to talk to you", Pippet told her son, watching him run off enthusiastically. She sat down in the bed where she was before the doctor came in and told her the 'news'.
"What's wrong sugar?", Billie asked knowing from the second she walked in something was wrong. She looked over and him and smiled. 'Sugar'. She hadn't heard that one in a while. She wiped her eyes and looked at him.
"You're gonna be a dad again", she told him hugging him. He smiled and hugged back nuzzling her neck gently as he rubbed her back.
"Sweetheart, don't cry", he told her smiling, "That's good news". She shook her head and explained the downside.
"Its okay we'll just take extra precautions", he explained stroking her hair. She rested up against his chest and kept her arms around him sniffling gently.
"And if we do, and it still goes", she started, "Billie Joe how are we going to explain to Jared that me 'might' have a little baby brother or sister?", she asked him. He shook his head.
"I don't know, but don't think about it like that. For now we're a happy family with a baby on the way alright?", he told her. She nodded and wiped some tears away from her eyes.
"I don't know if these tears are happy ones or sad and depressed ones", she told him. He kissed her forehead and told her everything was going to be alright, like he usually did.
"Listen, the worst that can happen is that we loose the baby, and it's a miracle you're even pregnant again", he told her caressing her neck softly, "Just take it as a blessing". She nodding knowing he was right. He always was, well most of the time anyway.
"Okay well do you want to tell Jared or do you want me to?", she asked him. He turned her head to look at her eyes and kissed her gently so that their lips met against one another perfectly.
"You're his mother, you're having the baby and well you'll probably word it better then I will", he told her smiling all cute. She giggled and hugged him kissing his neck gently.
"You know, out of everyone in the world, I'm so happy that you're the father of my children", she told him. He smiled closing his eyes as she kissed lower and lower down his neck.
"I'm so happy that I get you as a wife", he murmured keeping his eyes closed. She smiled moving her head so she could look into his eyes.
"I love you".
"I love you too".
-IN THE CAFÉ-
"Uncle Mikey, can you come with me to get my cast off?", Jared asked pulling at Mike's shirt.
"Sure kiddo", he told him placing Jared in his lap and wheeling him off in the wheelchair to see the doctor.
"Uncle Mikey, how did you break you leg? Same way daddy Biwwie got shot?", Jared asked. Mike nodded as they got into the docs room.
"Did it hurt-ed Uncle Mikey?", Jared asked. Mike smiled and wondered why the kid was so curious.
"Come on get your cast off and I'll go get you ice-cream", Mike told him. Jared got up as quick as his reflexes could let him and he sat up on the doctors patient bed waiting as the doctor took the cast off.
"There good as new", the doctor told him, giving him a lollypop.
"Thanks Doctor Harris", Jared said smiling as he walked with Mike to the canteen in the hospital. On the way there the two past by a baby nursery.
"I weally wanna little brother for Christmas", Jared said looking into the nursery, "Baby cousin might be nice too huh uncle Mikey". Mike smiled at his nephew.
"We'll see okay, we'll see".
-WITH BILLIE JOE AND PIPPET-
"You're gorgeous".
"You're beautiful".
"I'm not".
"You are Pippet". The girl blushed and continued to kiss her husband. He ran his hand up and down her back letting her kiss take control over him. The kiss became deeper and move loving over time making the couple become more intimate until they were interrupted by something they didn't need to here.
"This is a code 9 alert. All persons and staff in area 4 of the hospital please evacuate immediately"... ... ... ...
"I'll tell you after babe alright?", she told him, getting up off the bed. He picked up her hand quickly causing her to look back at him.
"Pippet, tell me", he asked her softly rubbing her fingers gently with his own. She shook her head.
"Jared you stay in here with dad alright. Mommy's going to go talk to the doctor", she told him ruffling his hair. He sat up with his dad on the bed and looked at him.
