would feel a lot better if you checked her out.”
The nurse looked at Susan and her eyes grew wide. “I’ll call the doctor stat and get some people in here.” She rushed out of the room.
Arianna looked at Penny. “Keep the baby. Your daughter may need surgery.”
Penny’s lower lip trembled as she took the baby from her daughter’s arms. “Thank you.”
“We’re going to get out of here, so they can do their job.” Arianna motioned for Trevor to follow her.
“No! Please, will you stick around and make sure they’re doing what you think?” Penny bit her bottom lip, while clutching her daughter’s hand.
Arianna put her hand on Penny’s shoulder. “You’re in good hands now. Sometimes when you’re making rounds you can miss things. If you have any trouble though, call Trevor and I’ll come back.”
Trevor shook Neil’s hand and then they headed out of the room as the nurses were rushing inside.
“Did you want to stick around?” Trevor took Arianna’s hand as they were walking out of the maternity ward.
“Only if you want too. I think they’re in good hands.”
“I don’t see how doctors don’t catch things like that. I noticed she was pale right away.” Trevor let out a sigh.
“Some don’t care. There are some OB’s that only care about their patients through delivery and then let them fall through the cracks after the baby is born. She’s also young. There are doctors out there who still see teenage pregnancy as something that should be dealt with through abortion rather than full term delivery.”
“Of course, I’ve dealt with enough triage situations to know there may have been a more pressing issue somewhere else.” Trevor shook his head. “I can’t image telling a teenager to have an abortion. I’ve seen the destruction of strong grown women who’ve gone through that. A child who doesn’t have the same reasoning capabilities? I couldn’t in good faith suggest that.”
“I will let them know all their options. Will I ever tell them that’s the course they should take? No. Although, I can’t judge if they do decide to take that route.” Arianna shrugged. “I was told by three different doctors I should have an abortion. Honestly, if Scott’s parent’s hadn’t taken me in, I may have done just that. I wouldn’t have had much of a choice.”
“Life doesn’t play by our schedule does it?”
Arianna let out a sigh. “Nope. I love my daughter and I’d never give her up for the world, but at the time, I do have to admit I thought about it.” She stopped.
He stopped too. “What?”
“Does that make you think less of me?”
“If I thought less of you, I’d have to think less of myself.”
Arianna raised her eyebrow.
“I never got a girl pregnant, but I’ve performed my share of abortions in the military.”
“I guess that would be expected, especially if the female wanted to stay in the military.” Arianna nodded.
“Some don’t have a problem dealing with the aftermath. Other’s it rips them up so much they end up leaving anyway.” Trevor’s phone chimed, he pulled it out of his pocket, and clicked the message. “Neil said she was hemorrhaging and to tell you thank you. You may have saved their daughter’s life.”
“Tell him he’s welcome.”
Trevor took her hand and glanced at the clock. “It’s about time to get Mina, isn’t it? Our flight leaves in three hours.”
Arianna looked at the time. “Yep, her workshop ends half an hour.”
“Lead the way.” Trevor smiled as he motioned for Arianna to go ahead of him.
Trevor sent a text to his friend. We have a plane to catch.
I owe you big time, well, Arianna. Have fun and if I hear of you ever hurting that woman, I’ll track you down. Neil replied.
Trevor laughed.
“What?” Arianna glanced at his phone.
“Neil said he’d kill me if I ever hurt you.”
Arianna laughed. “Good to know.”

Trevor tracked Arianna into the large brick room that housed the pool.
