This chapter is dedicated to the one and only Beckyboo aka Becky

Chapter 58

They were all sitting outside the room eagerly waiting for Ric to come out and tell them that everything was going to be alright. They sat their in silence, only the noise of Mia occasionally sighing during the sleep that she was now in. Martha stared at the clock; it had now been another half an hour since Ric had gone in. The minutes were soon enough going to turn into hours, and Martha was starting to get impatient. She saw Rachel come out of the room in quite a hurry, but that didn’t stop Martha running up and asking so many questions at Rachel that the questions she asked didn’t even sound like questions; just a lot word jumbled up together.

“Rach, please just tell me what is going on in there, I need to know” Martha pleaded with her. Rachel looked over and saw Martha’s tired family.

“Look, when Becky fell, she hit her stomach, and she’s gone into premature labour” Rachel said quietly so that no-one else would hear. Martha was starting to feel guilty, she couldn’t help but feel that if she hadn’t of retaliated to Becky’s snide comments then Becky wouldn’t have got stressed and collapsed, and therefore she wouldn’t be in premature labour. “Martha, Martha” Rachel raised her voice trying to get her attention.

“Sorry, just had to let that sink in” Martha explained

“Look, there really is no point in you being here, we don’t know how long this will take. Why don’t you all go home, you all look tired” Rachel’s head turned towards Jack, Jodi and Mia. “There really is no point in you hanging around” Rachel repeated

“You’re right, Ric and Bec won’t want people hanging around, so I’ll take them home. Jodi was meant to be going back to school tomorrow, so I want her to get a good night’s sleep. Just please say that you’ll call me if anything happens” Martha asked

“Yer, of course, I’m sure Ric and Becky would want you to know what happens” Rachel reassured her.

“I’m not too sure that Bec would” Martha said to herself

“Sorry what was that?” Rachel asked

“Oh nothing, just me talking to myself” Martha laughed a little trying to move on from the comment that she had just made.

“Ok” Rachel laughed along, “You just get home, I’ll call you” Rachel added before walking off and leaving Martha to tell Jack what was happening.

***************************

Martha had taken Mia off Jack and they were now heading out towards the two cars. Jack was equally as worried as Martha. They both hadn’t realized that Jodi had heard the conversation they had had about Becky’s situation; so were both unaware of the guilt that Jodi was beginning to feel. Martha gave Mia back to Jack before herself and Jodi headed off towards the car.

“Mum, what happens if we caused Becky to go into labour” Jodi blurted out

“What? Who told you?” Martha asked

“I over heard you and dad talking about it in the corridor” Jodi answered

“Look Jodi, I bet you’re starting to feel a little bit guilty now aren’t you?” Martha asked. Jodi just nodded. “Well, so am I. It isn’t your fault, if anything it’s mine. I shouldn’t have retaliated in the first place” Martha told her. She was trying to get her to relax for school the next day.

“But I didn’t finish it either, I just added to her stress” Jodi said

“Look, this isn’t your fault, and I don’t want you to worry about it because you’ve got school tomorrow, and I don’t want you to be stressed. I want it to be a carefree day” Martha replied.

“Oh god, I completely forgot about school tomorrow” Jodi said aloud

“It will be fine” Martha reassured her

“Sure” Jodi said sarcastically “I really can’t wait” Martha laughed along with her.

“Come on, lets get home” Martha said before getting into the car

*****************************

Back home, Harry was beginning to wonder where everyone was. It was just himself, Charlie and Indi at home. It seemed strange; quiet; too quiet. He hadn’t forgotten that Jodi was going back to school tomorrow, so he began to think that they were doing something with her. He became more certain that that was what they were doing, so he got quite a shock when he saw Jack walk in with just Mia.

“Hey dad, where have you been?” He asked curious to know

“At the hospital mate” Jack replied

“What? What’s happened to mum? Where’s Jodi?” Harry began to get frantic

“It’s alright, they’re fine, and it’s Becky. She collapsed on the beach earlier on today. We didn’t know what was wrong with her until about half and hour ago.” Jack told him

“Well, what’s wrong with her?” Harry said.

“She’s gone into premature labour” Jack literally whispered so that Charlie and Indi wouldn’t hear.

“What?” Harry said confussed

“She’s been under a lot of stress or something like that, and she has gone in to premature labour” Jack said slowly this time.

“Oh rite, so she’s having the baby now” Harry said

“Yes, that’s right” Jack replied before Jodi and Martha came through the front door.

*************************

Jack and Martha sat snuggle up on the sofa together. All of the kids were asleep.

“How do you think Jodi’s going to do tomorrow?” Martha asked

“I think she’s gonna be fine, she will stand up for herself and Harry will be with her aswell. We have nothing to worry about, and if she really hates it that much then she can call us and she can have the rest of the day off.” Jack finished

“You’re right; I’m worrying over nothing. Jodi will be fine because she’s strong” Martha replied

“I’m always right” Jack added with a cheeky grin. Martha gave him a kiss.

“What was that for?” Jack asked

“For being right” Martha replied

“Well if that was for being right, what is for being right all the time” Jack asked. Martha leant in again and started kissing him. The kissing had started to become passionate but they were disturbed by a phone call. “Who’s going to be calling at this time in the night?” Jack wondered. Martha thought and then remembered that she had asked Rachel to call her. She raced over to the phone

“Hello” She picked it up

“Martha, it’s me Rachel. Becky’s had her baby, but it’s in a critical condition. She’s asking for you, do you think you could come down?” Rachel asked

“Sure, I’ll be there soon” Martha replied before hanging up.

“Who was that?” Jack asked

“It was the hospital, Becky’s had her baby and she wants to see me, so I’m heading down there” Martha answered

“Ok, I’ll see you later” Jack said before pulling her in for another kiss

“Love you” Martha said walking out of the door

“Love you too” Jack called out, but she was already gone.

Chapter 59

Martha raced to the hospital as fast as she could. She presumed that Bec wanted to see her to have a go at her and blame her for all of this mess. Well at least that’s what she expected. She hadn’t even thought about their baby. She didn’t even know if it was a boy or a girl, Rachel hadn’t said on the phone, and Martha completely forgot to ask. When she got to the hospital, she was on her way to Becky’s room when she saw Ric in the special baby care unit. She could see that her cousin needed her so went in to see him. He was just staring into an incubator looking at a little baby.

“Ric” Martha said quietly. Ric looked round and saw who it was, and then looked back again at his baby.

“She’s so tiny Martha” Ric said

“It’s a girl?” Martha asked

“Yes, a little girl, our little girl. How could this happen?” He asked the tears starting to well up.

“What have you called her?” Martha now asked

“Amy, Amy Laura” Ric replied

“That’s a beautiful name” Martha commented

“The nurses said that she might not make it through the night” Ric said

“But she will Ric, you have to believe that she will. She’s a fighter” Martha reassured him

“How can you be so sure Martha?” Ric asked, he was now crying

“I just know that she will” Martha replied before giving Ric a hug.

*******************************

After five minutes Martha left Ric with his little girl and headed down to see Becky; after all that was the real reason she’d come.

“Martha” Becky said as Martha walked into the room. “You came” Becky stated

“I sure did” Martha joked.

“Look Martha, I wanted to talk about what happened on the beach today. I really shouldn’t have said what I said. It was wrong of me.” Becky apologised

“No, I should apologise, me retaliating probably caused you to go into labour” Martha replied.

“Don’t be silly, I had been feeling strange for the past couple of days, this is not your fault.” Becky told her

“But what I said probably just pushed you over the edge”

“No it didn’t, don’t blame yourself” Becky said one last time

“I will blame myself” Martha stated

“Martha I’m not going to argue with you, I just wanted to apologise, so can we please be friends and move on” Becky asked

“Of course” Martha answered and leant in to hug her

“Have you seen her?” Becky asked again changing the subject

“I have, I saw Ric aswell.” Martha replied

“What does she look like, I didn’t get to see her, they just took her away from me as soon as she was born” Becky told her

“Well, if I’m honest, she’s tiny, but compared to some of the other babies in there she looks good. She has a lot of wires around her.” Martha said

“Do you think she will survive?” Becky asked

“Like I told Ric, she’s a fighter, and she will survive” Martha said in a rather stern voice. Martha gave Becky another hug but they were interrupted by a voice.

“Oh my god! Becky!” Laura exclaimed as she ran through to door to Becky’s bedside.

“Laura, its two in the morning, what are you doing here?” Becky asked surprised

“I came to see you, Ric called me and told me what happened, so I came down here straight away” Laura told her

“Laura, you really didn’t have to do that, Martha has been here with me” Laura looked quite offended by this, was she trying to say that she was fine with Martha and that she didn’t need anyone else?

“Well, I thought that I should come and see you” Laura defended herself

“Fine by me” Becky joked

“So where is she?” Laura asked. She seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Amy wasn’t like a normal baby at the moment. Becky hoped that she wouldn’t come back and pretend to think that she liked her when really she didn’t.

“She’s down in the special care unit” Becky answered

“Right, I’ll be back in five minutes, I just want to go and see her” Laura said before walking out

“Okay” Becky replied

“Look Bec, I better be getting home, it was really good having that talk, but I need to get home and see Jodi before she goes to school, and I also need to get some sleep” Martha spoke for the first time since Laura had come in.

“Martha just because Laura’s here, doesn’t mean that you have to go” Becky tried to get her to stay

“I know but I can feel the tension, and you need to relax, but don’t worry, I will be back later on this morning, I promise” Martha said

“Do you promise?” Becky asked

“Of course, but you need to get some sleep, I need to get some sleep, and I have five children to look after at home” Martha laughed

“Ok, I’ll see you later” Becky gave Martha another hug before Martha walked out of the room and headed home.

*************************

As soon as Martha got home she went straight to bed. It was now 4am, and she was very tired. She hadn’t forgotten that in about 3 hours time she would have to get up again, get the kids ready for school and then head back down to the hospital. As she climbed into bed, Jack woke up.

“Martha” he said still half asleep

“Jack, go back to sleep, I’m back now, so just go to sleep” Martha told him before snuggling up to him and falling asleep. It was now seven am and Martha had only had three hours sleep. Jack was trying to detach himself from Martha. He had decided that she could do with another thirty minutes sleep; even though she wanted to be up early and see Jodi before she went to school.

Jack was finally out of bed and he had done it without her waking up. He headed downstairs and started to make some breakfast. Just as he was walking down the stairs he heard Mia wake up so went to get her as quickly as possible; so that Martha didn’t wake up. Luckily he got to her just in time and took her downstairs with him. He made a bottle up for her and then started making some pancakes for all of them. 10 minutes later and everyone was up apart from Martha. They were all sat around the table eating, when Jack stood up and headed into the kitchen; Jodi followed him hoping to find out more about the situation with Becky.

“Dad” Jodi said

“Yes” Jack replied whilst making another coffee for himself and one that he would take up to Martha

“Do you know anything more about Becky and her baby?” she asked

“No sorry I don’t, your mum got in at 3 this morning and she went straight to sleep. I wasn’t going to keep her up asking her questions” Jack told her

“Will mum be down soon?” she asked again

“Yes, I’m going to go up now and give her this coffee, just watch Mia for me” Jack finished before heading upstairs with the coffee.

“Martha” Jack said softly whilst placing the coffee down on the bedside table. “Martha” he said again but this time a little bit louder.

“Jack, what time is it?” Martha asked as she slowly woke up

“It’s about half seven” Jack replied

“I better come down and make some breakfast” Martha said

“There’s no need babe, I’ve already done it, and here’s some coffee” Jack passed her the coffee.

“You’re too good to me” Martha kissed him gently on the lips

“You’re worth it” Jack told her with a smile. “I’m gonna go back downstairs, come down when you’re ready” he added before starting to walk off

“No, Jack, wait, I’m coming now” Martha said hauling herself out of bed. She grabbed her coffee, and took his hand before following him downstairs.

***********************

Martha had just said goodbye to her kids before they went off to school. She wished Jodi luck on her first day back, and she told her to call her if she got too upset and wanted to come home. Jack was now on the sofa with Mia and he was tickling her tummy. She was giggling away.

“Jack, I’m just going to and go get ready, and then we can head in to the hospital” Martha said

“You know, I’m sure Becky won’t mind, if you want another hours sleep” Jack replied, he could see the bags under her eyes.

“No, I told her I’d go in and I will, so you just keep her entertained whilst I get ready and then we can go” Martha said again before heading upstairs. Jack knew that Martha didn’t want an argument over her sleep so Jack just let it go.

“You ready to go?” Jack asked as Martha came down the stairs

“Yes, I think so, do I look alright?” Martha asked. She had just put her make-up on quickly.

“You look beautiful, you always do” Jack replied

“Well someone’s turning on the charm today aren’t they, but seriously do I look alright?” Martha joked

“Yer, you look fine, now come on, lets get down to the hospital” Jack took her hand and pulled her out of the door.

****************

At the hospital, Becky was sat alone in her room. She had told Ric to go home, get some sleep, and have a sleep.

“Martha, you came” Becky hugged her friend as soon as she walked through the door

“I said I would didn’t I” Martha laughed

“Hey Jack, and Mia” Becky looked at the little girl. She could only hope at the moment of having that any time soon.

“So have you been to see her yet?” Martha asked

“Erm…Yes I have” Becky lied “I went to see her early this morning when I couldn’t sleep” she lied again. The truth was that Becky couldn’t face up to seeing her daughter. She was too scared that she was going to lose her, she thought that it was her fault that she was in this situation when everything could have been fine if she hadn’t of gotten stressed.

“Well do you want to go and see her again now?” Martha asked

“Sure” Becky replied. She felt that with Martha’s support then she would be able to see her, and admire her little girl.

“I’m going to get a drink whilst you two go and see her” Jack said

“Ok, if we’re not back here soon then come and find us” Martha told him

“Sure, do either of you want anything?” Jack asked

“No thanks” Becky and Martha replied at the same time

“Right, I’ll see you a little later” Jack said before giving Martha a kiss and heading out of the room

“Are you ready to go?” Martha asked Becky as she got out of bed

“Yer, lets go and see her” Becky answered before walking out of the room and down the corridor. As they got closer to the unit Becky’s pace slowed down. Martha could sense that something wasn’t right.

“Are you ok?” she asked

“Yes, I’m fine” Becky replied. They were nearly there, the door was getting closer and closer. Suddenly Becky stopped. She heard a beeping noise coming from one of the machines, and then she saw nurses running into the room. Becky froze on the spot. She didn’t know what to say or do. As one of the nurses ran past she grabbed her arm. “Is that my baby?” she asked

“I’m sorry I can’t give out that information” the nurse replied

“Please just tell me if my baby is alright” Becky pleaded with her

“I’m sorry but I have to go” the nurse ran off.

“My baby, someone please, anyone, tell me, is my baby aright” Becky was becoming hysterical. Martha hated seeing her friend like this, but there was nothing she could do. “Please just tell me” Becky called out again, but to her dismay there was no reply. She couldn’t take it anymore. She got up from where she had collapsed onto her knees on the floor. She looked up and down the corridor trying to figure out where she was. Once she had figured it out, she ran, ran away from everything, everyone, away from all of it.
