Realistic or Modern Foster Life

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda bites her lower lips, rubbing her stomach gently."It hurts so bad..." She says to herself. She takes deep breaths and closes her eyes tightly, wishing the pain would go away. After a few moments the pain subsides and she runs her fingers through her hair. 'I'm not ready for this....' She thinks to herself.

".. We gotta' call someone!" Jackson cries out in panic, he continues sobbing and runs to her side, crouching beside her and hugging the upper part of one of her arms softly so that he doesn't hurt her any further.

Strangely enough to Wendy, she knew a lot about pregnancy and the female body. Her excuse? During her Sophomore Year, she was two weeks late on her period and freaked out. "I know this may sound weird, but...How far apart are your contractions?" Because Amanda was in need, Wendy was willing to use her knowledge to help her.

".. We gotta' call someone!" Jackson cries out in panic, he continues sobbing and runs to her side, crouching beside her and hugging the upper part of one of her arms softly so that he doesn't hurt her any further.

Seeing how Jackson was also freaking out, she looked down at him with a fairly sincere look on her face. "Run upstairs and get my phone. I'll call for help." she told him. Even she was impressed by her own bravery. Normally, in a predicament that she is in now, she would be freaking out and not know what to do.

 

[Aryn Harris]

"I-I don't know.... 10 minutes?" She guesses. She was really freaking out. She didn't think she was ready for this. A few minutes later she gets another contraction and she let's out a whimper. "I'm not ready for this!" She states through her pain.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Okay... Okay..." He sobs as he jumps up and runs back out of the room. He'd dash upstairs to Wendy's room and would cry and sob more frantically in his effort to find the phone. He soon realises that panicking won't help, so he takes a couple of deep breaths to recuperate. After that he'd locate the phone with with ease and would sprint back down the stairs and into the kitchen, he holds out the phone to Wendy with an incredibly shaky hand.

Jack was napping in his room, for today was the kid's day, and a day for himself to relax before the oncoming troubles. Of course the moment he heard Jackson screaming about the house he knew that that the troubles were now beginning. He ran downstairs, still dressed in his pjs, and headed for the living room. "What is going on down here!?" His voice was worried, but very stern, for the level of commotion was absurd.

"Amanda hurts!" Jackson cries to him, saying nothing more as he went back to her side after giving the phone to Wendy. He sits close up to her side and watches her closely, still sobbing while he takes hold of one of her hands.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda lets out a sigh of relief as her contraction ends. As soon as she hears Jack's voice she closes her eyes. "Jack!" She calls, running her fingers through her hair.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Jackson would lightly hug her arm again. His whole body would be shaking.

 

[Hibiscus]

"Don't tell me, you are early aren't you?" His voice was soft, but had a tinge of annoyance. "I'm going to pull the car around front, don't move and breath deeply." With that Jack sprinted, not ran, but sprinted to the garage. The door was opened and the SUV keys were taken from the wall and placed in the ignition. He began driving it up to the front, putting it in park as he ran back inside. "Come on, no time to tell the rest of the house." He placed a hand on her back and on her arm, hoping to assist her up.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Jackson would also help Jack in assisting her to stand. He'd still grip her hand if they were both successful in helping her up.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda nods her head and chooses to ignore the tinge of annoyance. As soon as he grabs her arm to help her, she allows it. She closes her eyes tightly as another contraction hits her and she holds back a scream.

Jackson would still be snivelling and shaking, but he'd hang onto her nonetheless.

When Jackson handed her the phone, she put herself into Google to check out how to help Amanda. When she saw Jack, she looked at Amanda. As she came across the information she was looking for by the time they got into the car. Wendy attempted to assure her that everything would be fine and that she just needed to rest and try not to participate into too many strenuous activities. After she strapped on her seat belt, she told Amanda of her findings. "If your contractions are five minutes apart or less, then that means you could be going into labor. Which I hope is not it. Not sure how strong they are, but if they gradually get weaker, you should be fine. But it could be that you just need to rest and not move around too much or take part in anything strenuous on your body." She then turned to Jack who seemed to be looking at her in an odd way. "If you're wondering how I know so much, its because last year, I was two weeks late on my period and I freaked out." she stated. "Yes I freaked out over nothing."

 

[DrTrollinski]

Jackson would have got into the car on the opposite side of Amanda. He'd be hugging her, not saying a word and simply maintaining his crying, although he'd gone a little more quiet.

 

[Hibiscus]

Jack put the car in drive, but before he moved he listened, then turned to Amanda. "How far a part are the contractions?"

 

[Aryn Harris]

"Still ten minutes...." She murmurs, rubbing her stomach. She was getting more nervous each time she had a contraction.

 

[DrTrollinski]

Jack put the car in drive, but before he moved he listened, then turned to Amanda. "How far a part are the contractions?"

All of this talk of contractions and such goes right over Jackson's head - he started to feel even more useless and decided just to continue hugging Amanda and shut his eyes, praying that the whole situation would calm down.

 

[Hibiscus]

"We have time then." He began to drive, trying to make the car stay as comfortable as possible. Soothing music, missing the potholes, and taking turns all to carefully.

 

[DrTrollinski]

The soothing music would help put Jackson at ease slightly, but his body still shakes like a leaf in the wind; Amanda would be able to feel that, of course.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda looks over at Jackson and places a hand on his shoulder. "You okay there, bud?" She asks.

Because her Foster Father seemed to be taking care of Amanda, Wendy got back onto Google and looked up on how to drive Stick Shift. Because she didn't have her headphones, she couldn't watch any video tutorials.

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. I'm scared... Please be okay..." He sobs quietly in response.

 

[Hibiscus]

"She is going to be fine Jackson, she is just taking care of her baby." He tried to reassure the sobbing boy in the back, but it was barely heard over him barreling down the highway.

 

[Aryn Harris]

"Yeah. Just like Jack says. I'm gonna be fine." She says quietly. She rubs his back soothingly.
