“You’re doing well,” a man says as he comes in from the hallway.
“I’m Dr. Parker, I was one of your surgeons today.”
“Surgeon? I had surgery?”
He nods. “You came in with a ruptured spleen and a minor brain bleed.”
A brain bleed? What the fuck? I don’t even know how minor and brain bleed can be used in the same sentence.
“We were able to repair the damage to your spleen, and your brain bleed should heal on its own. We’re going to keep you for a few days just to monitor you and baby.”
It takes my fuzzy brain a second to process his words before I pause.
“Baby?”
The doctor looks down at his tablet.
“Yes, we monitored the fetal heart rate during surgery. Good heart rate and the ultrasound showed no free fluid or damage to the amniotic sac. It’s truly amazing they made it. Babies in the first trimester with trauma like this to the abdomen usually don’t.”
“Whose baby?” Logan asks.
The doctor frowns. “You’re only seven weeks along, but you’re definitely pregnant. I’m sorry, did you not know?”
“Did our shocked expressions give it away?” Logan drawls sarcastically, and I wave him off.
“I’m pregnant? I…I’m gonna have a baby?”
He nods. “I’ll have OB come down and talk to you, and a nurse will be in momentarily to get your vitals.”
“Thank you,” Logan says as I sit there in shock.
“Sparrow, are you alright?”
My head turns to him, incredulity no doubt all over my face.
“I’m gonna have a baby…I’m?—”
“We, Ari. We are gonna have a baby,” he says, pressing his lips to my hand before a wide smile spreads across his face.
I feel a matching one take over my own before Logan cups my face in his hands and kisses me.
“Don’t give me that shit! We are her family. Fucking move before I throw your ass down this hallway!” a familiar voice screams.
Cassi and Naomi rush into the room, slamming the door shut like that will keep people out.
“Fucking bitch,” Cassi mutters.
“Ari!” Naomi rushes, coming to my side. “How are you? How is she?” she asks Logan.
“What are you guys doing here?” I ask.
Cassi gives me a disbelieving look.
“When you get a call that your best friend is in surgery, you drop everything. We would have been here sooner, but I had difficulty tracking down Nay.”
She gives Cassi a sharp look before turning back to me.
“What happened, babe? Are you okay?”
