18 C17: False labour

#Jazlyn p.o.v#

"What do you think could have been the cause?" I heard a distant male voice speak to someone, it sounded faint but clear enough to make out the words.

'was that me or did my hearing just heighten?'

"I don't know sir, I guess it could be caused by stress or a panic attack." The second person replies, I wanted to see who these men were, and who they were talking about but their voices faded from my ears and I drifted into another slumber. 

This time when I woke up, I felt light as a feather and confident. My eyes begged to be opened and I listened opening them wide, then… regretting it instantly. I quickly closed them again after bright lights nearly blinded me, and I hoist myself up into a sitting position. Thanks to the stars I am able to move without wincing unlike before, my hand covered my eyes to shield them from the harsh light causing me a headache. I continually blinked my eyes letting them adjust to the brightness.

"Jazlyn can you hear me?" A man called my name somewhere around me. I remove my hand from my eyes to find the owner of the voice. Good torpedo! I jerked up from the bed nearly letting out a scream of terror at the person in front of me. I wasn't expecting him to be here or near, how the heck did he come here!. The last thing I remembered after dad's arrival was me and my dad driving mom to the hospital, the rest is just a blur.

"It's okay Jay, your dad knows I am here. He is with your mom now." Davin explained, a small smile forming on his cute face making me sigh.

"How are you here?" I asked him.

"You weren't in school yesterday so I asked Fiona where you lived. It took quite some time to convince her I wasn't going to rob or stalk you, in the end, I got the charm and she gave me your address with major threats to my life I rather take seriously. She said as I quote 'if you, by any means hurt Jazlyn or rob her family, I will make life a living hell for you, that you will prefer passing through the furnace of fire than see the light of the day' that's how she sounded and trust me I believed every word." He tried mimicking Fiona's voice which sounded terribly awful.

"Okay, I believe you but, the question is how did you get here?" I gestured to the hospital room.

"I met your dad at your house so we came here, together."

I smiled proudly at him. The wonderful thing is that my father didn't suffer him for no reason, Davin is definitely one of a kind. I was about to say something to him when the door opened and a doctor came in, behind him was my father having the best smile of the year. I smiled back and waved at him.

"How is my princess doing?" He asked and kissed me on the forehead.

"Dad!" I complained.

"Are you shy because Davin is here? Are you two dating?" Dad asked me, his expression turning serious. He glared at Davin for answers. I could see Davin paled at the sudden change in dad's demeanor.

'okay, maybe he isn't one of a kind' 

"Stay away from my baby!" Daddy warns.

"To be honest Mr Engelbert, I do not have any intentions of making romantic advances towards your daughter. We are only friends." Davin speaks for himself and raised his hands in surrender.

"I don't trust your statement just keep twelve feet away from my daughter." Dad pointed a finger at Davin while Davin had his hands raised in surrender

"Dad come on, don't be hard on him he's just friends with me." I protest.

"Fine, but if I find out you are having any kind of relationship with my daughter I will personally run you over with my car and I mean it when I say it, am I clear?" Dad threatened Davin and all the color drained from his face.

"Yes sir." Davin replied nervously and gulped down heavily. He gave me worried looks and I gave him a smile to assure him it was okay my dad isn't going to kill him.

The doctor told dad he would like to ask me some questions and dad agreed giving him room. Wow I didn't even notice the doctor has been here enduring the whole season playing out here.

"How are you?" The doctor asked me.

"Fine I guess." I replied. He nodded and wrote something down.

"Do you feel faint or tired." He asked.

"No, if I may ask what happened to me?" I asked the doctor.

"You had a panic attack but it was unusual." He replied.

"What do you mean by unusual?" I asked not sure of what that meant.

"You have been unconscious for a day and a half which is a rare case for such a slight panic attack. We haven't seen such a case here in this hospital. I have checked your file and everything is normal. So you are free to go home." He told me.

"Thank you doctor." My dad said.

"You're welcome Mr Engelbert, if you may excuse me I need to attend to other patients." The doctor shook hands with dad and then left. Dad decided to break the silence.

"Well what happened back there was unexpected and Gwen has been worried sick." Just like I thought. Then a thought hit me, now I remember what happened. My mom was in the middle of giving birth when I passed out.

"How are mom and the baby?." I asked.

"They are doing fine, it was you we were worried about. All though Gwen did most of the freaking out. I think it's the hormones making her crazy." Dad chuckled then stopped. "Don't tell her I called her crazy, she isn't crazy I just thought... wanted to des-" I stopped his rambling assuring him with my own tale.

"I understand dad. And I have experienced this so-called crazy side of mom many times, since her first trimester until yesterday- oh I meant the day before." I told him.

"The doctor said it was a false labor but they insist she should be left in the hospital for monitoring since she is almost due. Gwen on the other hand caused a serious argument that brought unnecessary attention and she even threw hospital food at me! I have faced her wrath too, you know." He told me.

"That must be very embarrassing." I said, covering my face with my hands. Damm, I should have never passed out. That was so weak of me.

"You don't need to feel embarrassed not everyone knows how to handle a pregnant woman." Dad tried to make me feel less worse.

"But you didn't faint, I did." I complained.

"It's still not your fault stop blaming yourself." 

"I have been with mom since her first trimester and I have waited and dreamt of how this delivery would be but I nearly ruined it by passing out when she was about to pop out a baby."

"Come on don't be hard on yourself Roxy Jayn. Oh- less I forget Gwen wants to see you now, let's go before she comes here to kill me." He said even though we both know she can't leave her room.

"Alright dad, I have been eager to see her too." I stood up from the bed to follow dad when I realized Davin has been quietly listening. I wanted to jump into a canal, he must have heard everything I said with dad now he's going to think I am weird. "Maybe you should get going Davin I am sure you have class today and thanks for stopping by." I told him

"Yeah, I guess so. See you later then." He said and move to hug me but dad cleared his throat halting Davin's move, he akwardly waved to me and I nervously waved back. He left and dad looked at me with thosue EYES!.

"Stay clear from boys. Understand!!"

"Why dad, he is just a friend." I replied.

"You have no idea. Guys don't just ask to be your friend there's always a hidden motive behind the word FRIENDS." He laid emphasis on the word FRIEND for me.

"And they don't do free things for girls without expecting something from them." He warned me.

"Have you also done that before?" I asked and he just brushed it off. 'yeah, he did!'

"We don't have much time to waste, let get you to Gwen before she kills me." I laughed at my dad, he is so scared mom is gonna kill him.

We passed through a hallway and stopped at a baby blue door I could see mom lying down on the bed watching something on the television. Dad opened the door and we entered. She welcomed us with a smile.

"It took you quite some time to get my angel here. Why?" Mom asked, glaring at dad who was standing uncomfortably by the door. "I'm kidding Roberto as long as I see my angel and she is unharmed we are cool." I looked behind and saw dad release a long breath as if he was expecting her to lash out or throw things around. "Come here my angel." Mom said to me with her arms opened wide for a hug and I gladly accepted it.

"How are you doing?" I asked her as we hugged.

"Better, now that you are here I feel wonderful." She said. Me, mom, and dad kept on talking and laughing about random things until my mind drifts off to a certain dark blue eyes again.

I will teach that loser a lesson someday, he thinks I can't be dangerous, well, he better think again cause he won't recover from this. I smiled at the evil idea forming in my mind.

"Roxy are you alright?" Mom's voice broke me out of my secret haven.

"Yes I am, never been better." I replied and she nods before continuing talking with dad.

Shawn the Grinch arse, get ready to be swooped.
