SWNOVELS Chapter Sixty - Five: Unconscious
Sixty-Five: Unconscious
Kylani
I feel absolutely terrible, and I hurt so badly. I have no idea what is wrong with me. At first, I thought it was that damn stomach flu that is going around, but now I am not so sure. I can barely keep food or water down. I feel so weak and can barely move. Today has been the worst. I know something is wrong, and I need to find someone. I am currently in the bathroom down in the rec room. I rinse my mouth out and open the door. No one else is here. I get halfway across the room when a sharp fucking pain radiates across my abdomen. It hits me so fast that I can't even get a scream out. I drop to my knees. I sit there for a few minutes and try to get up. A sudden wave of dizziness hits me, and my world goes black.
Jason
I am heading down to the rec room to play some Xbox. I freeze at the doorway. I see Kylani unconscious on the floor. She is pale and looks awful. I walk over and touch her. She doesn’t respond. I pick her up and carry her to the pack hospital. I am the only one home. Everyone else is at work. I need to let Kaleb know what's going on, but I don't have any of his numbers. I get her to the hospital, and I walk in. The nurse sees me carrying her and yells for the doctor. They have me carry her into a room and lay her on a bed. I hear something behind me, and there stands Mykenzie. I explain what I know and where I found her unconscious. They take some blood from her and hook her up to an IV and fluids. They determine she is dehydrated. They take her vitals, and they are normal. She lets out a cry of pain and curls in on herself. Mykenzie is sitting on the bed, lying down next to Kylani. I look over, and both are asleep. We have been there for about an hour when there is a commotion out in the hallway. I am about to go out and tell whoever is making all the noise to shut the fuck up. But then I recognize the voice. “Where is she? Tell me now.” Kaleb growls.
I am getting up to go to the door when it opens, and Kaleb, Reecie, Chris, Dustin, and Marcus walk in. I look at Kaleb, and all the colour drains from his face. I would feel for him if this were Alexis I would be freaking out. He walks over to the bed and touches her face. She turns her head and nuzzles into his hand.
Kaleb
Dustin, Reecie, Chris, Marcus, and I are sitting in Dustin's office when Mykenzie pops into my head.
“Kylani is in the pack hospital. Jason found her unconscious on the floor of the rec room. He carried her to the hospital. All we know right now is that she is dehydrated.”
My heart stopped, and I thought I was going to pass out. I sit there in a daze until I feel a hand on my shoulder.
“Kaleb, what's wrong?” Reecie asks.
I tell them what Mykenzie told me, and I still can't process what is going on. I knew it wasn't the stomach flu. I tried to get her to go to the doctor, but she kept saying it was just the flu. Dustin says that we are going now, and I get up. I think I am still in shock. Marcus finally literally shakes me out of my shock.
“Come the fuck on man we need to get you to the hospital now. Snap the fuck out of it.” He tells me as he shakes me.
I snap out of it, and we get to the car and get back to the hospital. I walk in, and I start yelling. I need to find her now. They tell me which room she is in and run to it. As I enter, I see Jason walking toward me. That's when I see her lying on the bed. She is so pale and looks so sick. I walk over and touch her face. She turns her head and nuzzles into my hand. This makes me feel a tad better. Jason tells us to change out of our suits and that he will be here with them. That's when I notice Mykenzie sleeping next to her on the bed. This makes me smile. I am hesitant to leave, but I know that Jason will let me know if something happens. I am back within fifteen minutes, and as I am walking to her room, I hear her let out a scream of pain. I run into her room, and she is curled up on the bed crying. I walk over to her and sit down by her. I touch her face, and she turns to me.
"Kaleb, it hurts so much.” She cries.
I lay down by her and pull her into my arms. She rolls over and buries herself into my chest. All I can do is hold her. The doctor walks in and smiles. I tell Kylani I will be right back and walk out of the room with the doctor. Dustin and Chris follow us.
“What's wrong with her?” I ask
“She is very dehydrated, but the rest of her blood work looks fine. She is exhausted and she said that she has not been able to hold down much food. I have the nurses bringing up the ultrasound to see what's going on.” The doctor says.
I nod at her, and we walk back in. Kylani is sitting up and looks a little better. They gave her something for the pain. I go to her, and she smiles at me. I sit by her, and she lays her head on my chest. I feel much better seeing her sitting up. She is still pale and looks exhausted. There is a knock on the door, and the doctor walks in with a nurse and the ultrasound machine. I get up as Kylani lays down and pulls up her shirt.
“We got the results of your last test.” The doctor says.
“Ok, and what was the test and results?” She asks
“You're pregnant.” The doctor says.
Pregnant, my goddess is carrying my pup again. I have been hoping for this. I wonder why she is so sick. I watch as Kylani lifts her shirt, and the doctor squeezes out some gel onto her belly. I see Kylani flinch, and I know that the gel is cold. I watch as the probe moves around.
“Well, you are three weeks along.” The doctor says.
I am just about to ask why she is feeling this bad already when I hear a gasp. I look up to see Reecie staring at the screen. I wonder what is happening. I look to see Kylani getting nervous about what is going on. The doctor turns the screen towards us. I was looking at the screen when I noticed something strange.
“The reason you are so drained and your morning sickness is so bad is because you are having twins. They are growing and stretching you faster than a single baby.” The doctor explains.
Twins, I can't believe this. This is amazing, and a huge smile spreads across my face. They wipe the gel off her belly. The doctor wants Kylani to stay the day and get fluids since she is so dehydrated from all the vomiting. She is not happy about this. The others return to the packhouse to let everyone know what is happening. We are sitting there on the hospital bed. She has her head on my chest. I look down and see her rubbing her hand over her belly. I place my hand on top of hers.
“Are you happy about this?" I ask her.
“Yes, actually. I was gonna talk to you about possibly trying for a second baby. Apparently, you were already working on it.” She says to me.
“It must have happened when mom brought me to you after you two showed us those sexy ass wings of yours. That was three weeks ago.” I tell her.
She just lays there on my chest and hums. I smile and think back to that night. I spent all night worshipping her body like the goddess she is. I have been hoping since the last heat that she was carrying another of my pups. This time it's twins; this is the best news ever. We finally leave late in the afternoon. I have to admit that she is looking better. The doctor gave her a prescription for some medication to help with the morning sickness and is told to make sure she is getting her rest. They also gave her something for the pain when the pups have a growth spurt. I pick her up and carry her to the packhouse.
“You do know that I can still walk right?” She asks
“Yes, but until you gain some of your strength back this is happening. Do you know how fucking scared I was when Mykenzie let me know what happened? I am glad Jason was home and found you.” I tell her.
She looks up and me and gives me a kiss as she lays her head on my shoulder. I am glad that she is not fighting this. I have already talked to Dustin and told him that I am working from home until she is better. He fully agrees. I think this scared him too. To find any of these women unconscious on a floor is awful. I carry her straight up to our room and place her on the bed. She gets up, and I give her a look.
“I want to shower and change into my pajamas.” She says.
“Stay there I will run us a nice warm bath and then we are relaxing on the bed for the rest of the night. I will be working from home until you are better.” I tell her.
She rolls her eyes at me, and I walk into the bathroom. I know I am being overprotective, but she was unconscious and looked like death. I feel a hand on my face and turn towards her.
“I wasn't trying to scare you. I honestly had no idea I was pregnant. I really thought I had the flu or something. It had just gotten this bad in the last two days. I admit I have been tired for a couple of weeks but with everything going on I thought most of it was stressed induced.” She explains.
I strip out of my clothes and climb into the tub. She does the same and leans back against me. I wrap my arms around her and place my hands on her belly. I feel her relax, and I start washing her.
“I know you didn’t do it on purpose but it still scared the hell out of me gorgeous. I do understand you thought it was due to stress.” I tell her.
We finish in the bath and dress in our pyjamas. We lay on our bed, and she cuddles up to me, laying her head on my chest. I am still worried about her, but at least now we know why she is so ill and can fix it. I smile to myself again, thinking about her carrying my pups. I can tell she has fallen asleep by her even breathing. I lay there awake for a while, thinking about the events today. She rolls onto her back, and I roll over and wrap my arms around her. She is my world, and so are my pups.
Dustin
I am sitting out on the balcony staring at the night sky. I admit that it scared me when Kaleb told us about Jason finding Kylani unconscious on the rec room floor. I watched in horror as my best friend's face drained of all its colour, and he basically went into shock. Thank god for Marcus being there to shake him back to reality. I just stood there like a fucking statue. I feel fingers run through my hair and look up into the beautiful face of my mate. God, she is so fucking beautiful. She sits down on my lap, and I wrap my arms around her.
“You 0k?” She asks.
“Yes and no. I stood there like a statue and had no idea how to help Kaleb. He is my best friend and I did nothing. I feel like an asshole.” I tell her.
“I know he is not mad at you. I talked to him earlier. He told me that he probably would have reacted the same was if your roles would have been reversed.” She says as she runs her fingers through my hair.
I am rubbing her belly to try and calm her down. It is working. I do feel better when she tells me this, but I still feel like an asshole. Honestly, all I could picture was Mykayla laying there, and it scared the fuck out of me. I am so thankful Jason was home. Who knows how long Kylani would have laid there if he wasn't home? I think that's what scared Kaleb and me the most, knowing that she could have laid there for hours before she was found. I know she would get mad if we assigned someone to watch her, but I am seriously thinking about it and I am sure Kaleb is considering it too. She is also going to need help with Jordyn. I am going to talk to Dimitri tomorrow and see what he thinks. Mykayla is starting to have issues at work and her morning sickness is still bad as well. I am not leaving these two alone. I know Kylani could still take out anyone or anything threatening her, but I would rather have someone here with them to help the little ones. I hear Mykayla yawn for the third time, and I know it's time for her to sleep. I get up with her in my arms and carry her to the bed. I climb in behind her and wrap my arms around her and sleep.
