Chapter 16 - Aaron's Promise

Aaron walked in. Peyton was lying down in what looked like a dentists chair. She was waiting for the test resaults... Aaron walked over and held her hand, she looked her best towards her hand, not having anyway to guess where Aaron's face was... He leaned in so she could feel him breathing as he said, "Hey... Were gonna get to go home soon... I got something for the morning sickness... Your gonna be fine." Peyton just smiled, she was in a bunch of pain... Between the throwing up, her head ache, and her high temp she was very uncomfortable and exhausted... And in pain...

"Mr and Mrs Dàk... We have the resualts... As you guessed something wasn't right. We noticed something in her system making her sick... Now everything is fine but with this there is a chance of having a risky birth or even a premature one... We suggest you stay in bed for the next 10 days and take these pills once every 12 hours... Then come back in 2 weeks and we can go from there, as of then you will be in your last trimester. About 6 months." They thanked the doctor and they were on their way home...

Aaron took Peyton's hand and led her into the house ,and then sat her down upstairs in their bed... "Thank you." Aaron smiled at her, and kissed her head. Then got on his side, "Your welcome... I actually wanted to ask you something." Peyton reached around for his hand until he grabbed hers. "What is it?" Aaron's smile faded, "It was about something Doctor Chen said earlier... About your treatments not working... And the chance of this being permanent... W-Why.... Why didn't you tell me?" Peyton looked down and her eyes started to fill with tears.. "How long... How long have you been keeping this from me?" Peyton shook her head as one of the tears slid down her face... "A-About 2 months... I-I Just... I just didn't think..." Aaron was shocked... The most that the treatments should stop was maybe 3 weeks, but they would eventually come back on their own... It had been 9... Or maybe even more... "How... How could you not tell me!" Aaron stood up, and so did Peyton, each on the other side of the bed... "(Crying) How could I! You were in Japan at a base! I wanted to give them a month to fix themselves but they didn't. It was just over a month before you came home... So I figured I should confirm it, then tell you... I went with Katlyn 2 weeks ago." Aaron shook his head in anger as he paced around... "two weeks... So not only did you have a suspision, but you also had a confirmation from a doctor that you were at a risk!!! And you still didn't tell me!?! Not only did you keep this from but you told Katlyn!!! Its not the fact that you didn't tell me, its the fact that this is something that could determine your ENTIRE future!!! And you trusted my sister, more than you trust your own husband!!! Aaron was still pacing, he was frustrated, and had no idea what to say... They both stopped moving and stood still... Then they both broke into their own sob... Peyton held her hamd to her face and covered her mouth, and cried... The other had on her stomach... Aaron had his hand on his folded together as he sat on the bed and put his head into his hands... The room was no longer silent... It was a loud mess of crying... "I-I... Aaron... There was an option... But I can't!.. It wouldn't be right..." Aaron looked at her and just cried...

After 12 minutes of just crying, and dispare... Aaron spoke, "What... What was the option." Peyton couldn't stop her crying, as she cried it got worse, and as she spoke her words came out in small hiccups and her lips began to quiver.. "I... The- Other- Option was- To- Get- an- an------ An- Abor-... Abortion-. Thats- The- only- way- it- would- work-... To- Do- the- presedure- it- may- have- killed- the- baby-... So-... (Normal sobbing) So I declined it... They gave me 3 options, to do the presedure with the anestisia could kill him/her. So I wouldn't know if the baby would be alive when I woke up! Or they would let me abort, that way I can know whats going on, and do it myself! Or decline... I COULDN'T DO THAT AARON! I-.... I couldn't... And I still can't! And I wont!.. I wont..." She started sobbing hard again. And her lips started to quiver, as she became a hot mess... "Its okay... I got you... I got you... Don't worry... We'll figure this out... Together... I got you... I wont let you or the baby go..." At that time, it finally hit Aaron... he was about to be a father... About 3 more months...

Peyton reached over to Aaron, and found his hand on her own... (Still crying) "Im sorry... Im sorry." Aaron hugged her and the two remained silent in each others arms... Aaron held her head to his chest and her stomach in his other hand... "I got you... I got both of you... Its okay... Its okay... I promise... I promise Im gonna spend the rest of my life protecting you and our child... I promise... Nothing else is gonna hurt you, ever..."
