It was good to visiting with RJ. The twins were happy to see their little brother. Even though it gave us all a good feeling to spend time with RJ, the whole thing felt off, because it confirmed that Rellz was missing from our family. I missed him so much, and the twins had even started asking about him, because he was the only dad they knew. I had really messed up.

A few hours after Kane took RJ home, I got up from the sofa, because I didn’t want the kids to see me crying yet again, but as I stood, I felt pain in the lower part of my stomach. It intensified as I moved. Mom saw the pain etched on my face, and she rushed over and asked if I was okay. By then, I was bent over in pain and was holding my stomach. I heard Mom call 911, and then she called Kane, who was at Rena’s mom’s house. He and Rena arrived within minutes.

By the time they got to the house, Mom had begun to panic. Rena asked me if I felt any moisture or discharge between my legs. I told her I felt some, and the look on her face scared me. A moment later, EMTs rang the bell. They came inside and started asking me question after question. Kane grew frustrated and asked them if they could just get me to the hospital. Dad held my hand the whole time, because he knew I was scared and was expecting the worst, but why wouldn’t I be? I actually believed I deserved the worst.

Mom rode with me in the ambulance to the hospital, while Kane and Rena stayed back at the house to help Dad with the kids. Once I was at the hospital, I was given a pelvic exam to check the size of my uterus and to see if my cervix was dilated, followed by a pelvic ultrasound to see my baby’s heartbeat. I was relieved to know that my baby was okay. Mom asked the doctor what had caused the spotting and the abdominal pain. He gave a diagnosis of a threatened miscarriage and also informed us that high levels of emotional stress in the early months of pregnancy could be the reason for it, but not necessarily. That didn’t stop Mom from giving me that look, but my emotional stress really couldn’t be helped. I was hurting.

The doctor decided to keep me under observation at the hospital for a few days. I started to object, until my mom shot me another look, like she was daring me to say something, so I closed my mouth. For the next few hours, I was given blood tests, and they did a lot of checking with the baby monitor. I was so ready to go. The nurse gave me Tylenol for the pain, and the abdominal pain subsided some, but my back was still hurting. My mom stayed at my side for most of the day, but then it was time for her to go home.
