683 A Surprise Arrival - Part 2

Friday continued …

"True, but he always wanted to become a theatre nurse, and I worry he is just settling."

"Rosemary, stop playing mother hen. You are going to be bad enough with me. He and Alecia have made their choices and we need to respect them."

"True." After pausing Rosemary continued "Can you arrange for me to get to Hou Enterprises. I need to collect some medical equipment to enable me to monitor you, and I am guessing they will have what I need."

"Give me a couple of minutes, and I will come with you to Hou Enterprises."

"You should be resting."

"Damn it, Rosemary, I am not a piece of china, ready to break. I am pregnant. Plus, the staff will not arrange any vehicle for you and without language skills try getting a taxi."

Five minutes later, Anna had collected her handbag and she and Rosemary were in a car heading to Hou Enterprises. As she sat in the car Anna felt a pain hit her, but there was no way that she was letting Rosemary know.

Twenty-five minutes later as they were heading across the foyer at Hou Enterprises towards the newly opened staff clinic, Anna not only was hit by this time another bout of pain in her back but suddenly she felt a whoosh of water. Rosemary who was two paces behind her, knew exactly what was happening. She has her suspicions in the car, as Anna's movements showed the pain that to her trained eyes evidenced the early stages of labour.

With the help of the bodyguards she immediately got Anna into the clinic and yelled out for someone to get Hou Yi here immediately. Hearing Rosemary's voice James came running yelling "What in the world Rosemary …" however as he entered the room, he realised exactly what was happening. Immediately grabbing his phone from his pocket, he dialled Hou Yi and told him what was happening, and called out for someone to make calls to Anna's obstetrician and for an ambulance to be called to take Anna to the hospital.

As one of the other staff was helping Anna clean up and change into a gown, James pulled Rosemary aside, saying "I guess you spoke to her obstetrician as well, hence why you are here?"

"I did after her appointment Wednesday; which I understand you were at. What did he say to them?"

"He damn well lied, telling them everything was OK. We both know the risks for Anna, due to what happened to her. He had planned next week to admit her to the hospital for a C-section to reduce those risks."

With that James dialled the Anna's obstetrician, and as soon as he was on the phone handed it to Rosemary. At that immediate time, Hou Yi came running into the clinic. James, before he could force his way into the room with Anna, grabbed Hou Yi and said, "We need to talk."

"Get out of my way James, I need to be with Anna."

Rosemary, having ended the call with the obstetrician turned and said "No, you need to listen to James. As soon as an ambulance is here, I will go with Anna to the hospital, you two can follow." Pausing she turned to James and said, "You better make sure he knows."

Nodding, James grabbed Hou Yi, and pulled him into another room, saying "Sit."

"James, you are my brother-in-law but do not p*ss me off today. Anna needs me with her, and that is what we decided."

"I am not telling you this as an employee or your brother-in-law, but a medical professional. Shut up and listen to me."

The ferocity in James' voice stunned Hou Yi into silence. What in the world is going on? He turned looking at James directly who he observed was ready to say what was going on.

"Yi, Anna's obstetrician has not been telling you and Anna everything. That has been because he has needed to keep you and her calm to ensure that the risks are not exacerbated for Anna. The trauma at the start of her pregnancy was such that he has always known that Anna, at least for this pregnancy would have to have a C-section to give birth."

"The plan was to admit her next week and perform it soon after. Rosemary approved this plan hence why she was able to come at short notice. She was coming over the weekend anyway. Alecia and I had organised her flight and we simply changed it so she could get here today. Her waters breaking and the early stages of labour are going to change things. But you will not only have to give consent to the now emergency surgery, but you will have to be ready to make a choice should worst come to worst, whose life to they save, Anna's or the smaller of the babies."
