Isabel’s POV
I wake up feeling pain in my stomach.
I hope my baby’s safe? I say to myself, my eyes wide open.
I need to visit the hospital immediately! I jumped out of the bed, as I got ready to leave for the hospital.
Hi, Mom, Dad, I say, greeting my parents who look worried sick seeing the way I hastened my steps.
“Bel,” Dad called out. “Is anything the problem?”
“I will be back,” I say, letting my voice out loud from the door, without giving a direct answer to his question.
************************
I sit in the waiting room of LAC+USC Medical Center.
My hand pressed firmly against my abdomen as the pain surged through me.
The room is buzzed with quiet conversations and the distance hum of medical equipment.
Just opposite me, I see a couple who also came in for a check up.
