50 Come Back

KYLE'S POV

It's been was four days sinceMaya was admitted in the hospital and not sleeping had taken it's toll on me. I had called my wife's specialist OB, Dr Anne Powell and she had flown in from New York two days ago. She was monitoring the situation, along with Dr Brandt. They had told me that Maya's blood pressure was dangerously high because of the preeclampsia. Her blood pressure had shot up and my guess was the news about Rita's Dad triggered it.

I was sitting at Maya's bedside, waiting for her to wake up. She had been in and out of consciousness and she barely said more than a few words. Dr Powellwalked in, clutching a clip board against her chest.

"Good morning Dr. You have the test results?" I inquired.

"Good morning. Yes I do and I'm afraid it's more bad news." She looked down at her clipboard with a frown.

"Oh no." I laid my head on the bed and held Maya's hand.

"Your wife lost a lot of blood and we still can't get her BP to normal levels. She's going to need a blood transfusion so we need to do that right away. Her condition has also caused placental abruption, in plain English, the placenta separated from her uterus too soon.Fortunately only a small part of the placenta separated, so it may not cause many problems. I think we can still manage it." She read through the charts.

"So is she going to be okay?" I rose from the chair.

"She's stable so, hopefully she stays that way."Dr Powell walked over to Maya and checked on her vitals. "Another thing I wanted to tell you is-well I suspected it but after examining the ultrasound scans I'm sure that she's carrying twins. We can arrange for a 5D scan just to confirm." She stuffed her hands into her pockets.

"Wow..okay..let's do that." I sank back into my chair. Twins. We were having twins.

"It looks like she's waking up." Dr Powell peered over Maya.

Her eyes fluttered open and she focused her gaze on me.

"Hie babe. We have to stop meeting like this." I smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

"Hey." She whispered and tried to smile.

"Good morning Amaya. Welcome back." Dr Powell stood beside me.

"Doctor-" She stopped talking abruptly as her mouth started to froth, her eyes moved rapidly and her body started to jerk uncontrollably.

"Maya!" I sprang to her side.

"She's having a seizure! Please step outside." Dr Powell pressed the emergency button and the nurses rushed in.

I walked back to the waiting room and sat in a corner. What was happening to my wife? I hated this-not having control of the situation. I hated seeing her in pain and I hated being so helpless. I hung my head and allowed the tears to slid down my face unhindered. My phone vibrated and I composed myself before answering.

"Yes Rita. " I tried to keep my voice from shaking.

"Hie Ky. I'm trying to get a hold of your wife but her phone must be off or something. Can I please have a word with her? I just wanted to tell her Dad is out of the coma and he's getting better."

"RiRi-can I just have a quick word with Jamie first?" I knew she wouldn't be able to handle the news well so I would get James to break it gently to her.

"Hey Ky. Enjoying the honeymoon?" James chuckled.

"I'm afraid not-Maya is in hospital. Please walk out of the room I have to tell you something-it's about Maya's condition, I need you to break the news to Rita okay?" I explained everything to him briefly.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner? Do you want me to come? Scratch that-I'm coming there, you can't be alone right now."

"Somehow I knew you'd say that-that's why I didn't say anything before. Besides Rita needs you man." I scratched the back of my head.

"You need me more.Her Dad is much better now so she can stay here and I can come over to Maldives as long as you guys need me." James offered.

"Thanks Jamie. You're a good friend."

"You would do the same for me-and I care about Maya too. I'll tell Rita and she's probably going to call you so.."

"I know. Look the Doctor is coming so I'll see you later." I cut the phone and walked towards Dr Powell.

"Hie Kyle. We managed to stabilize her, she's resting." Dr Powell pursed her lips. There was more.

"Okay-and..?" I took a deep breath.

"If Amaya doesn't get any better then you're going to have to make a decision.In the event that her condition doesn't improve then we might have to terminate the pregnancy. I'm sorry." She said, her voice filled with regret.

"And if we don't she can-" I choked.

"Yes. There is a possibility that we can lose her and your babies." She looked at me with pity.

"I'm sorry Dr, I don't mean to sound callous or selfish but-I can't lose Maya.Shes my world. She's everything to me." I swallowed hard andraked my fingers through my hair.

"I understand." Dr Powell nodded slowly.

"You can judge me but I can have other kids but-I can't and never will have another Maya.I won't be able to live without her. I can't even imagine-" I dashed tears from my eyes.

"It's not easy to be in this position Kyle. Let's not rush to any conclusions now. We will continue to monitor the situation and hopefully she will pull out of this. She's a strong woman." Dr Powell patted my shoulder and walked away. My phone buzzed and I knew who it was before I answered.

"Hey Ky-I-I heard..is-is she okay?" She stuttered. It sounded like she had been crying.

"I honestly don't know. I'm-I just-I don't know RiRi." I blinked back tears.

"I can only imagine what you're going through. I'm freaking out." She sniffled.

"It's twins-we're going to have two brats." I tried to joke.

""Gosh! Really? Do you know the sex?" Her voice picked up.

"Not yet. I'll ask the doctor when she does the 5D scan later today."

"Jamie just left so you can expect him to jet in later on today. " She said.

"That's great. Thanks for everything."

"No worries. We just all worried about Maya you know." She sighed audibly.

"I want her back RiRi. I just want my wife back."

"I know Ky. I know."
