Blood Brothers

Chapter 23: The Storm

Noah nodded his head as he listened to her speak, he was happy that she was happy and finally getting to a space where she was adjusting well to the pregnancy. He knew how bad she was struggling at first, but it seemed as if things were taking a turn for the better and Noah couldn't help but to thank God for that.

"I gotcha baby, I'll most likely meet you at the doctor's office. I have a client appointment at one that afternoon but I'll be on time."

"Okay." Rayne responded as she got out of the bed, "I'm going to go take a shower. Let's watch the newest episode of Power when I get out."

"Sounds like a plan love. Since the rain slacked up, I'm going to place the order for our tacos and go pick it up." Noah said getting out of bed

"That means you can join me in the shower then." Rayne flirtatiously smirked as she walked to the bathroom

"Yes ma'am." Noah smoothly said as he rubbed his hands together

He followed her into the bathroom with a smile on his face preparing himself for a round of shower sex.

Later that night

"Noah, wake up." Rayne said shaking Noah awake

Noah groaned as he tossed and turned in bed with his eyes still closed.

"Noah get up! Something is wrong with the baby!" Rayne repeated in a frantic voice as she shook him again

At the sound of her voice and hearing that something was wrong, Noah immediately sat up in bed and looked at Rayne who stood next to the bed with tears running down her face.

"What's wrong Rayne? Why are you crying?" He asked fully alert and getting out of the bed

As he approached her, he noticed blood covered the front and back of the gray shorts she wore. His heart began to beat rapidly as he eyed her.

"Something is wrong with the baby, I got up to go to the bathroom and there was blood everywhere. It's all in the sheets too. Something is wrong Noah." Rayne cried out as her bottom lip started to tremble and fresh tears fell from her eyes

Noah looked at Rayne's side of the bed and saw that a big red stain soaked up the sheets, his heart dropped. He walked up to Rayne and hugged her before looking her over again.

"Sssh, is something hurting you?." He attempted to comfort her by rubbing her back although on the inside he was flipping the fuck out, "Everything is going to be fine Rayne, we're going to go to the emergency room. Go change your pants."

Rayne nodded her head as she continued to cry, "I had a slight sharp pain but that went away. I'm so scared Noah, I don't know what's going on."

"I don't know either Rayne but, I got you, everything is going to be fine. Matter of fact, I'll get you a new pair of sweats to put on." He quickly went to her closet and grabbed a pair of black sweatpants along with a new pair of underwear

His heart continued to beat rapidly, so many thoughts were running through his mind but Noah didn't have time to think too deeply in them. He needed to get Rayne to the emergency room. She was already freaking out and although Noah was scared of the unknown, he couldn't show it. He had to be strong for Rayne, one of them needed to be calm and it had to be him.

"I love you, trust me, everything is going to be fine." Noah repeated himself as he handed the clothes to Rayne before wiping the tears from her eyes

"I love you too." She nodded her head and took the clothes from him and went to the bathroom
