BASS

The moment Jade started screaming and wincing in pain, I swear my heart fucking stopped. I thought I’d done it, thought I’d hurt her, encasing her under me as my finger pumped in and out of her relentlessly. Her body folded forward into a fetal position, as she cradled her arms over her stomach. Fear crippled me, standing like a frozen fucking statue while my girlfriend practically convulsed in front of me.

“Aaah, Bass. Fuck. Please, I can’t. God it hurts, it fucking hurts!”

Her squeals break my heart, my soul aching to ease her pain, but I don’t know how. I’m unsure of what to do. None of the baby books Stella forced me to read, nor the classes I accompanied Jade to, explained what to do if my girlfriend was suffering so badly.

“Jade, please baby hold on. Fuck, I need to get you to the car. Can you stand up?”

She tries to sit up but cries out in pain as she falls back onto the bed. “I can’t, please Bass, it hurts.”

My heartbeat blares loudly in my ears as I bend forwardpicking her up and cradling her naked body in my arms. I begin to descend down the porch steps when her arm grips tightly around my bicep.

“Sebastian, stop!” she cries out tightening her grip.

“What baby?”

“I’m naked, Sebastian. You’re naked, we can’t leave like this. Aaah...” Her words die on her lips as she cries out once again.

“Fuck you’re right. Hold on baby, I’ll go get us some clothes.”

Arriving at the hospital,fully clothed was no fucking walk in the park. After rushing off to grab us each something to throw on while Jade screamed at the top of her lungs right outside, then moving to get her buckled up in the car, I realized we forgot everything in the house. I had to run back while Jade screamed at me from the car something about how this was all my fault.

“You fucking did this to me, you mother fucker!”

Attempting to not actively provoke her, I don’t want my life to end in the hands of a hormonal woman in excruciating pain, so I decided to keep my thoughts to myself.

You weren't a mother until I fucked this baby into you, so yeah my fault.

I decided against saying that, and I’m thinking it was the right call.

On the drive there I called Ace and Scar, informing them where we were headed and that they needed to get moving and meet us there. Well jokes on fucking me. Jade had called Scar while I was in the house and according to Ace she went into full panic mode as she was walking out the door. Her water broke. Now Scar is in active labor. Can’t these girls make anything easy? Stupid question. Dull is something my Little Wolf will never be.

After going through the emergency room entrance, half carrying her through the door, I yell out for the nearest nurse. Jadeis in pain and I am not okay with this. “I got you, baby,” I murmur in her ear, “I'll make sure you get taken care of right away. Can we get a fucking nurse over here, she’s in pain, the baby is early and I need her taken care of!”

“Sebastian….c-chill.” Jade chokes out while doubling over in pain. Fuck that. I will not fucking chill.

“Sir, can you please take a seat? We will get to you as soon as we can. You’ll need to fill out these forms.” This bitch tries to shove forms at me and turns me towards the waiting room. Bad fucking move. This nurse is out of her fucking mind. I’m about to turn around and tell her where she can shove these forms, just as this nightmare turns into a horror movie.

“Bass, something is wrong….” Jade crumples in my arms and screams bloody murder.

Blood. Blood everywhere. Jade is holding her stomach and screaming while blood is fucking gushing down her legs. The nurses go apeshit, screaming about an emergency C-section, a placental abruption, and some other bullshit. Before I can get my bearings they are ripping my girl from my arms and putting her on a gurney. As they wheel her away I try to follow but am held back. Looking up to see who has the fucking balls to hold me back from my baby, my eyes connect with Ace’s. He tightens his hold on me, “Can’t go back there man. Doctors need to work on saving your kid and your girl.” I know he’s right but fuck that’s my whole world in there being wheeled away.

An hour passes and still not a damn soul has come out to give me an update. The nurse at the station assures me that no news is good news in this situation. Though that may be the case I was crawling on the walls. Ace had to leave me after he managed to get me slightly settled down. Scarlett had to be sedated when she saw Jade being taken away, just as they were checking her in. My brother had his hands full.

Another hour passes when finally the doctor comes into the emergency room. It looks like a scene straight out of the horrorfilm Carrie, his scrubs covered in blood while his face looks solemn. He slowly walks towards me and I can’t take it anymore. I run towards him, grabbing him by his neck, and demand to know everything about Jade and our baby.

“Are they okay? Tell me they are okay. What happened? Where is Jade? Can I see her? How is the baby?” Assaulting him with my rapid-fire questions I barely take a breath.

He puts a hand on my shoulder, “Hold up there son. I'll answer all your questions. Come sit with me. You need to relax a bit before going back there.”

I unwillingly follow him knowing I have no other choice. “Jade is fine. She lost a lot of blood and it was touch and go during delivery but she's in recovery now. I'll take you back there as soon as we are done talking.” Relief fills my body. She's okay. She's alive. She’s okay…. wait.

“What about the baby? How is the baby?” I ask rather tensely.
