Chapter Eight
That evening didn't go as planned. It wasn't long after Annie went to bed, that I was having a rough time, and it didn't quite make sense.
"Rowan, what can I do to help you?"
"I-I don't know... I feel really sick."
Jeremy did his best to comfort me, but it wasn't working too well.
Jeremy's P.O.V
I sat with Rowan, in our master bathroom as she threw up for the sixth time... It was rough seeing my wife so sick, especially since we didn't have an answer to why it was happening.
"Jeremy... can you get me a glass of water?"
"Of course. I'll be right back."
I ran into the kitchen to get what she asked, and soon returned to find her curled up into a ball on the floor sobbing. I quickly set the glass down, and knelt down next to her.
"Rowan, take a deep breath for me..." She was on the verge of having a panic attack and that hadn't happened in months.
"Jeremy, I'm sorry..."
"Don't be, baby... You're going to be okay."
"I'm not too sure about that..."
"Don't talk that way. You're going to be fine... What do you want me to do?"
"Take me to bed."
I nodded as I picked her up, and walked back into the bedroom. I set her down on the bed and tucked her in. I stayed with Rowan until she was fast asleep and I went to go clean up the bathroom. She was really sick this time, and it wasn't like her to be so sick. I hoped that it would pass soon, because it hurt to see her like that. I had a feeling that all of this was because of the stress of the wedding... and I was beginning to wonder if it was really the best idea to go through with our big wedding.
Apollo soon joined us, knowing Rowan was ill, and with everything that was going on with her, not to mention me, we were really in for something.
Rowan's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning, feeling much better that the previous night. I was thankful I didn't feel sick any longer.
"Rowan, are you sure you're up to having everyone over today?"
"I'll be okay, Jeremy... I'll just take it easy and enjoy the company."
"Sounds good."
Jeremy and I got things ready for the company, and as soon as everyone arrived it turned into a rather good afternoon. Chris and Jeremy were by the grill having a beer while Scarlett and I watched the girls swim in the shallows.
Scarlett and I just talked and laughed, enjoying each other's company. Soon lunch was ready and everyone was at the table waiting for Jeremy to bring the burgers over. I glanced over at him and saw him take a few steps towards the pool. I figured he was going to get Annie's toys out of the pool and I turned back around. I soon heard a splash and turned back around. I didn't see Jeremy and I quickly got up and ran towards the pool.
"Chris, call 911!"
I yelled out before diving in the pool. Jeremy was unconscious, bleeding profusely from a gash on his head and he wasn't breathing. I managed to get him out of the pool, and my medic background kicked in and started CPR. I got him breathing again, and he was coughing up a good amount of water. He was awake, but delirious and it scared me. Annie was sobbing in Scarlett's arms, and Chris and I carefully monitored Jeremy. Chris helped me get the bleeding to stop, while I did my best to comfort my husband.
"Jeremy, the ambulance should be here soon...."
He was in a lot of pain, and he had tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I...I can't feel my legs..." Jeremy managed to get out despite the pain.
When I heard those words, my heart stopped. He had a head wound, and couldn't feel his legs. That was not a good sign.
"You're going to be fine, babe... It's going to be okay." I said softly as I wiped away his tears. I was so scared that he wasn't going to be okay. As soon as the paramedics arrived, they took him to the hospital, but I opted to follow them in my jeep. Scarlett, Chris and the girls would come as soon as I called. Needless to say I cried the whole time I was driving to the hospital. Jeremy was sedated with pain medication while they ran several tests and I stayed with him when I could, and kept everyone updated. When we finally were in a room, Jeremy was sound asleep. The ER doctor came in, along with our doctor, Anna Daniels and we stepped out into the hall while the ER doctor checked on Jeremy.
"Rowan, I am so sorry that all of this happened..."
Her expression was one I couldn't really read, and I kind of dreaded what she was going to say.
"He's going to be fine... He had temporary loss of feeling in his legs, but that should go away in a day or two. I'm more worried about his concussion, he should recover in a month or two, but you are going to have to keep a close eye on him. I still can't figure out why he has been blacking out. It's still a bit of a mystery."
"Thank you, Anna..."
I turned to talk to the ER doctor who had just come out of the room.
"Can I go see him?"
"Of course. He's a little groggy, but he can hold a conversation."
"Good... Anna can you let Chris and Scarlett know?"
"Of course, Rowan. It's no problem."
I thanked them again, and went to see Jeremy.
"Hey, baby... How are you feeling?"
"Incredibly sore... But I'll be alright."
"I'm thankful for that. You gave me such a scare, Jeremy... I thought I had lost you for sure."
"Hey, I can't leave my girls alone."
I smiled as I leaned down and kissed him. He was something else, and I knew we would have a interesting few weeks ahead of us, but in all honesty, I was kind of looking forward to them... that and seeing what our future held.
