Rivers POV
I awoke to the sound of classical music. If I don’t recall it was Fur Elise by Beethoven. Ever since I was little hearing this piece would make me want to close my eyes and daydream of the best possible outcome but now for some reason, that little girl faded. She was hidden behind a chamber and only one thing can save her. What that one thing is only God knows.
“Good morning Ms.Campbell,” the doctor said,“My name is doctor Allison Blanchard, How are you feeling today?”
“Fine thank you,“I replied, wiping my eyes and getting up as slowly as possible.
“Your blood test results are clear and now that your health is stable I would like to do an ultrasound to make sure the baby is in good health. Of course, if you approve Ms. Campbell.”
“Of course whatever you feel is needed to help the baby,” I replied, joyfully.
“Great, can you walk or-”
“No ah yes I can walk,“I replied while getting up to walk towards the door.
“Here take my hand,” Dr.Blanchard said, extending her arm.
“Is anyone -”
“Ethan has been coming every day, his mother every other day or two along with your brother who has discharged a week ago, and your mother calls every couple of days,” she said looking at me.
“How long have I been down?”
“About two weeks,” she said opening the door to the ultrasound room.
“How”I sighed?
“I will explain for now sit.” she said rubbing a green gel on me and she began to search,” ah here you are, do you see how small and healthy the baby is,“she said as I nodded my head,” from what I can tell your 17 weeks so if you don’t know I can tell you the sex of the baby.”
“Oh the whole Scott family expect Ethan knows because they did a blood test and sent it to a lab in New York,“I replied, in a disappointed tone,” but I don’t know since the results came in when I was-”
“Would you like me to tell you,” she asked, smiling?
“No,” I replied, nodding my head.“Not yet.”
“It’s a healthy baby.” she said trying to reassure me,” this afternoon you can be discharged,” she said handing me a paper towel,“I want to see you again in a week or two to make sure that you and the baby are stable.”
“Thank you Dr.Blanchard-”
“Please call me Allison,” she replied, smiling causing her brown eyes to sparkle.
••••••••••••••
After I was discharged Ethan took me and my brother to his friend’s house.He said it was safer for all four of us especially the fact my mother was also going to be released from jail in two week.So we could not live with them for any longer.
“Hello welcome,” a voice from behind me said and I turned around quickly to see a guy who was average height, with wavy black hair all brushed in one direction, blue-green eye, and his skin a tan color.
“Hi my name is-”
“Yes, I know River and Aiden.My name is Micheal,” he said with a confident smile while extending his arm my way and I shook his hand as well as Aiden,” the house is small it only has seven bedrooms but I’m sure we can manage,” he said, nodding his head.
I was sure this guy was crazy in what world is a seven bedroom house small.
“So these are your rooms.“Micheal said, grabbing our bags and leading us upstairs.” Ok here’s the second living room.”
“Follow me downstairs this is the kitchen and the first living room he said pointing left of the kitchen.There is the backyard and don’t worry I have a security system on the pool.”
“I’m sure you do,” I rolled my eyes and a smirk formed on his face.
“I own a restaurant downtown and I’m working on a restaurant just a few blocks away the addresses are in the phone book, the keys to the Tahoe are hung near the garage if you need to run an errand, and here’s a phone. Ethan told me to give you it has my phone number, his and every other number you will need one call and I will come running,” he said chuckling,“Any questions?”
“No not at all”
“Oh, one last thing Rene comes every day to clean and cook so don’t clean or cook anything it’s an order from the Sargent.Do I make myself clear?”
“Yeah clear as day,” I replied, putting my thumbs up.
Right when Micheal opened the door a really tall and pretty girl with brown hair and amber brown eyes appeared.
“Violet, Violet what are you doing here!“Micheal asked, trying to push her out the door.
She looked annoyed with him as she said,“You haven’t answered any of my calls or texts for the past two weeks, Micheal, naturally I was worried but- Oh my god! I’m so stupid you’re with her, aren’t you?Oh my God and she’s pregnant!”
“What the hell are you blabbering about Violet?”
She sniffed while replying,“Nothing, nothing at all.I’m just gonna go.”
I decided to step in because based on the smirk it looked like Micheal was amused with her suffering,“Um were not together I’m just staying here because the father of my child thought it was the best place to stay.”
“Oh my gosh really? Can I have a hug it looks like you need a hug.“I shook my head as she took me in her embrace.
