18 Chapter 18

Kelis's POV

"Are you serious? Just be still you'll be fine." Yoongi looks at me like I'm crazy, not that I care. I don't like needles and this nurse looks less than kind.

"Then you do it and I'll drink the water." I cross my arms over my chest while sitting on the hospital bed. He drops his head clearly frustrated with me.

"Angel will you please just let the nurse give you an I.V. and stop being difficult." He lifts his head and runs his fingers through his hair. I know he is frustrated and concerned, but I don't care. "I apologize if my fear of needles is inconvenient for you. You are more than free to GET OUT!!!" My fear of needles out weights my feelings for him.

Our marriage is new but this fear is a very old relationship with a death grip on my life. I hate needles and twitchy here telling me to get over it is not helping me at all. I know the time will come soon enough that I am going to have to deal with needles regularly to have a healthy baby. But today is not that day.

Moving as far from him as I can on this stupid hospital bed. I hear him sigh and I know I am being unreasonable. "Angel, don't be like that I'm sorry. Can I hold your hand while she does it, will that help?" He reaches out his hand to hold my hand and I pull away from him.

"I'm fine just go." He sighs but I hear him leave. The nurse is new if the panic look in her eye and nervous fidget in her hand is any indication. There is absolutely no way in hell she is getting near me with anything sharper than a q-tip.

"Please don't take this personally, but under no circumstances are you getting near me with that needle. Can you bring me some water please?" Smiling at her in a way I hope will lessen the blow. By the pissed-off look on her face, I can tell she is taking it very personally.

She slaps a tight fake smile on her face and says, "Mrs. Min I can do this if you will just sit still." Looking at her and blinking. I can not believe this woman just said that. I look back at her hands and they are still shaking.

"I don't think I will. Can you get me some water and a different nurse. I have no intention of sitting still and allowing you to stab me." Not bothering to hide my annoyance I point down at her hands. "How long have you even been a nurse? Your hands are shaking." She had the decency to at least blush before looking back at me.

She blushed a bit and then looked me in the eye. " It's OK I can give you an I.V. I am just a little nervous." Oh fuck this I am out. I get up and begin walking towards the door.

"Mrs. Min be reasonable. You can't just leave." I can hear her walking behind me as I head to the hospital exit. "Yes, I can." Lucky for me no one is by my door to block me from leaving. I just kept walking right out the door and right into my in-laws.

I smile up at them nervously and say, "Hi Mom Hi Dad can I get a ride home?" They look a bit confused but nod and turn to take me home. At least until that stupid nurse comes up behind me. She is all out of breath and looking more pissed off.

"Mrs. Min please come back inside and let me give you an I.V... What will your husband say when he comes back and you are not here?" Looking

I turn and face her.

"Let me make myself extremely clear. There is no way on God's green earth that you are getting close to me with a needle. Your hands have been shaking like a junky needing a fix. Do not ask me again" I felt my mother-in-law gently rubbing my back.

"Let's get you back to your room sweetheart." She turns to her husband with a smile and says, " Please go find your son and a qualified sober nurse. If she gets her I.V. before he gets here. He will deal with me." Then she follows the nurse back toward my empty room.

"Ma'am I am sober and I can do this." The nurse was pouting like a toddler as she guided us back to my room. I finally felt like someone could hear me. I am so grateful that my mother-in-law is here. We make it to the room and she helps me get back into the bed. She stands next to me rubbing my back and comforting me.

I watched as the nurse all things she would need to place the I.V. She then reaches for my arm. Before I could snatch it away, Mom politely blocked her hand. "You go get the doctor and a senior nurse NOW." I watched as the nurse had an internal debate on whether to argue or not. "They better beat my husband and son here or you will need a new job." With that motivation, the nurse ran from the room to do as she was told.

As soon as she was gone Mom pulled me into a hug. "Scared of needles sweetheart?" Nodding as I hugged her back. "I am terrified." Her gentle smile made me feel less like a pain in the ass. I let go enough to cry while she hugged me. Taking the comfort that she offered until the requested doctor came in. He brought with him a sweet-looking older nurse whose hands are much more stable.

"What appears to be the issue?" He asks looking at me definitely annoyed. "Mrs. Min, why don't you have an I.V.?" He walked up to me just to be stopped by Mom. "My sweet daughter-in-law is a first-time mother and is afraid of needles. The nurse that greeted her had hands that shook badly. I want another more skilled nurse." Her smile was anything but friendly.

The new nurse only looks sweet. Once she opens her mouth I can tell she would rather be anywhere but here. "She won't get any better without more practice. I plan to stay with her to make sure she does it properly." She had a smile on her bitter face but it immediately dropped.

Mom grabbed my hand and we headed towards the door. "Let's go, Kelis. I am sure any other hospital would be more than happy for our business." The doctor blocks the door as we try to leave. "Please have a seat ladies. Nurse Betty will put in your I.V." He looked at the mean older nurse and she looked like she wanted to say something, but she didn't.

The door opened and in walked Yoongi and Dad. "It will be a cold day in hell before you or any of your employees touch any of my family members. We are leaving."

As Mom finished her statement I watched the little color Yoongi had drained from his face before he took a deep breath and gently grabbed my shoulder. "Angel, what is it going to take for you to allow someone here to make sure you and the baby are OK?"

I know he is concerned about me. I also know the next hospital is oven an hour away from here. "I want a new nurse. I don't trust this one or the one before her. She had shaky hands and I do not want an I.V. I haven't even been examined yet. You don't know that I need one." Yoongi nods and turns to the doctor, he also nodded and sent the older nurse to get someone else.

As if it just caught on Mom turned with her hands on her hips and glared at the doctor. "Excuse me? You were going to let that incompetent beginner practice on my daughter and grandbaby and no one came to examine her yet!!!!" Dad had to physically remove her from the room with a hand over her mouth.

Looking at the doctor with a sympathetic look before he closed the door. "I am going to step into the hallway for a bit to call the head of Obstetrics. Hopefully, by the time we make it back. Things here will be uncontrol." Then he walked out with his pissed-off wife.
