Karen's P.O.V.

The light was green, I pushed on the gas and we start driving. I got out in the intersection and a car ran a red light and hit us. They hit us on the drivers side hood. We were pushed to the edge of the intersection cause the car was speeding. I felt everything stop and my head went into the car door from the impact.

Next thing I know I hear Jimi, Phillip and Kimberly yelling my name.

"Karen!?" My head was laying against my door and I opened my eyes and looked out the shattered window at the empty street and the car against ours. I lift my head and turn to everyone. They looked panicked and scared. Jimi looks at me and reached his arm to me. I was in shock and couldn't quite hear everything except bits and pieces.

"Karen! Are...okay!?" I heard enough words to make out what he said. I could only nod. I heard sirens in the distance. He asked me another question.

"Baby.." That's all I needed I looked down and my stomach wasn't in pain but it did hurt where the seat belt is. My leg was and my head was hurting. I turn to him and I see Kim and Phillip between the seats looking at me. Phillip looked fine but Kim had a bruise on her forehead. My head hurt too maybe I had a bruise too. I lift my hand the side of my head that hit the door and it was wet. I look at my hand and it was full of blood. That's not good.

After a minute of just breathing and taking everything in. I was able to hear and speak.

"Is everyone okay...?" Jimi looks at me.

"Baby everyone is fine. Kim has a bruise and me and Phillip are fine. But we can't get out. The light pole fell and it's blocking us. Kim's door is Jammed." I try and move and my leg is stuck. I reach for the door and because of the hit from the car it is bent and it's also jammed.

"The door is jammed... my leg is stuck and my head really hurts Jimi... I'm really tired..."

"I know you're tired baby... I'm really sorry... I need you to breathe for me. I need you to calm down and stay awake." I look out the windshield and see the car that hit us and the damage to our car. I look down and the airbags didn't even go off. I look around just trying to stay awake. Pregnancy makes you tired. Hitting your head while pregnant makes you really tired. I hear Kim behind me.

"Karen? Does your stomach hurt at all?"

"The seat belt hurts..."

"Okay, don't move Kare, We're gonna make sure you and the baby are okay. So don't move."

"I'm fine. I'm just tired and sore. Nothing hurts extremely, besides my head and leg."

After a few minutes I get really tired. Not moving and all the adrenaline is goin away. I turn my head towards Jimi and my eyes are heavy and he can see that.

"Hey baby... stay awake... we need you to stay awake. We are gonna be out shortly and then we are gonna go to the hospital to get you looked at."

"I'm fine... I'm just tired and wanna sleep."

"Baby you can't sleep right now. You hit your head. If you have a concussion and you fall asleep, something can go wrong."

"I don't have a concussion... just a cut... and my leg is stuck. Once we get out we can go home... and then we can sleep." My eyes get heavier with each passing minute.

"Karen, please stay awake..."

"I'm trying..."

"I know baby. I know you're trying. You're doin amazing. You're pregnant and you stayed up this late. I'm very proud of you."

"The baby needs me to rest.."

"You can sleep all day tomorrow and tomorrow night. But as long as you stay awake now." I nod and Jimi takes my hand.

"Keep a tight grip on my hand Babe." I do as he asked for a while and Kim, Jimi and Phillip keep asking me questions and try to talk with me and keep me away.

The Ambulance, fire trucks and police arrive and they immediately come over and ask us questions.

"Is everyone okay? Is anybody hurt?" Jimi speaks up.

"Everyone is awake and okay. But my wife. She pregnant... she hit her head and her leg is stuck. Please help her." I look up at the ambulance driver and he looks at me and what state I'm in.

"We may have to get you guys out first. We don't wanna move her if she's stuck and pregnant until she is secure." Jimi nods and holds my hand. The ambulance driver runs back to the firefighters and they talk. They get the 'jaw of death' and come over.

"We need everyone to cover their heads with anything you have. We're gonna take the roof off the car and break open the doors on the passenger side." Phillip and Kim nod and grab their jackets. Jimi grabs the blanket unfolding it and covers me and him over. The man speaks again.

"This will be loud and you will hear crushing noises. Please don't panic and stay calm we will have you out soon."

The machine starts and we hear crushing noises go around us. They turn it off and we feel the car move and a crash noise. The man speaks

"You can take the covers off now." Jimi pulls the blanket off and pieces of glass fall to the floor. We look around and the roof of the car is off and on the ground. The fire fighters check the car for any leaks that could be an issue. There was none. They move the telephone pole and break open the front and back door. Phillip and Kim get out and they are taken to the ambulance to get checked out. Jimi doesn't move. The man looks at him.

"Sir we need you to move."

"I'm not leaving my wife." I look at Jimi and squeeze his hand.

"Baby go... I'll be okay. They're here to help... I can't be taken care of if you're hurt too. Go get checked out please... let the men do their job..." Jimi nods sadly and leans over and kisses me. He gets out and goes to Kim and Phillip where they can watch but are far enough back to be out of the way.

The fire fighters climb in the car and look at my situation. One of the men sat in he passenger seat to talk to me and keep me calm.

"I'm gonna cut the seat belt off you to release some pressure on your baby. Okay?" I nod and watch him. He cut he bottom belt but had to pull it tight and I wince in pain and then I immediately felt relieved as it was gone. He looks at me

"Are you okay?" I nod "Can you speak..?"

"I can... I just want to get out..."

"I know ma'am. We are goin as fast as we can while trying to keep you safe." I nod and look out my window at Jimi, Kim and Phillip. They are watching the crew work. They break my door off and they work at getting my leg free. It takes them a while cause it's jammed in and I wince every now and then. The man beside me keeps telling me to calm down. I look at him and is getting very pissed that he keeps repeating the same two words. They eventually get my leg out and they get a gurney.

"No, I don't need that."

"Ma'am your leg."

"Was just jammed. It is perfectly fine to walk on." They help me out and I can walk on it but with a slight limp. They help me over to everyone and Jimi comes to me and hugs me carefully. The ambulance get our attention and Jimi helps me to them so they can check me out. They looks at my leg and it was fine just badly bruised. My head wasn't a concussion but almost. The baby was okay I'll just have some minor bruises from the seat belt. The police officers arrested the man who ran the red light and took him away. Another police officer offered to drive us home.

We took the offer and got in the car. Phillip sat in the front and Kim, Jimi and I sat in the back. I cuddled against his side for the ride home. We dropped Phillip off and the dropped Kim off and then we thanked the officer and got out at our house. We went inside and went upstairs. I got undressed and looked in the mirror at all my bruises and the bandage on my head. Jimi watches from a distance. I look at them all, then put on a baggy shirt and shorts. I look in the mirror again and notice Jimi watching me already in his boxers for bed. I just look at him. I can feel my eyes get watery and Jimi could too. Cause he was at my side in a heartbeat. He wrapped his arms around me gently and I cried into his chest. I was scared that it happened. It could have been worse, but the damage was still done. I cried and Jimi just let me. He soothed me and rubbed my back. I eventually calmed down some and he led me to the bed and helped me lay down carefully and then he crawled in beside me and wrapped his arms around me. I cuddled into his side and laid there. We eventually fell asleep.

Jimi's P.O.V.

The next morning I woke up around 10. We got home late from a long night. I look at Karen and she was still sound asleep. I can't imagine what she feels like after last night... up that late... in an accident while pregnant with her husband and friends... while she was the driver. She probably felt that it was her fault... but it wasn't it was mine. I was stupid and let her talk me into drinking. I should have taken her home after the concert. She was tired. I watch Karen sleep for a while I haven't moved yet and when I did to look at the time I was sore. It was 10:30. Karen has an appointment at 12. I look down and at her and kiss her forehead multiple times. She slowly flutters her eyes open.

"Morning baby... it's 10:30... I thought you'd might want to get ready for your appointment." She nods and we both get up. She goes into the bathroom and I hear the shower turn on. I go in as well and looks at her. She looks at me.

"You wanna shower together? Then you can help me put a new bandage on my head..?"

"Sure baby." We both get in and shower. I help her wash the places she can't really reach anymore or that she can't reach cause she sore. I washed my hair as she rinsed off and then we switched. I washed myself and she washed her hair. I rinsed off and then she washed her hair out. We both got out and dried off. I got another bandage while she sat on the toilet cover. I kneeled down and move her hair carefully and put the bandage on. She just looks at me.

"There, is that okay?" She nods. We both go into our closet and change. I put on jeans and a dark blue shirt on. Karen put on yoga pants with a normal shirt on like me but it was black. She goes back into the bathroom and dries her hair and puts light curls in it then does her makeup. I fix up the bed then lay down and wait for her. She comes out a few minutes later. I smile. It was 11:15 so I help her downstairs to the kitchen table and make her eggos. I put them on a plate with syrup and butter and pass them to her. She smiles and eats. Once she was done I put her plate in the dishwasher and looked at the time. It was 11:30.

"Ready to go baby?"

"Yeah." I help her out to our rental vehicle until we got a new one. I drive to the hospital and Parked the car fairly close. I help Karen out and we go inside.

We walk to the desk and the lady checks us in and then we sit in the waiting room. A few minutes pass and the doctor call us back. We follow him and Karen gets on the bed knowing the procedure after doin it so many times. The doctor gets everything set up.

"How are you feeling Karen?"

"I'm okay... I'm kinda sore."

"Oh, is it the baby?"

"No, we were in a car accident last night. The seat belt locked and it hurt some. But everything seems okay with the baby. He or she is still kicking..."

"That's good. I'm just gonna look to make sure and do a couple things to insure you and the baby are okay. Is that alright?"

"Of course."

"Okay. Let's start." She puts gel on Karen's stomach and moves the wand around. Karen takes my hand like she usually does. The doctor smiles. "Everything seems to look good... but..."

Oh no... there is a 'but' that's never good.

"But Karen you are stressed... that's why the baby is kicking so much. I'm gonna do a test to check your blood pressure as well." Karen nods and the doctor leaves for a minute and Karen looks at me.

"It's okay baby. She's gonna help you relax and give you ways to help you and the baby." Karen nods and I kiss her. She squeezes my hand and the doctor comes back in.

She had tests done and it was a few minutes before they were ready so me and Karen waited in the room. The doctor eventually came back.

"Karen you also have high blood pressure. If we can't lower that then there is a possibility of an early labour or some problems with the baby. None which we have to worry about now. But I paged your high risk doctor and she will take care of you from here on out. Okay?"

"Okay... thank you..."

"Not a problem. She will be here any minute." The doctor leaves and I sit beside Karen on the bed.

"It's okay baby." Karen leans her head towards me and I hold her. The high risk doctor knocks and comes in.

"Hello Karen. I'm sure your doctor has told you I'll be taking over for the rest of the pregnancy. It is nothing to worry about. I'm here to make sure nothing major happens. She gave me your papers and you are stressed and have high blood pressure. I'm putting you on bed rest. That includes laying in your bed with limited movement and nothing stressful. You can go to the bathroom with some help. But if you need to walk, you can but not long distances and must always have help. You have to maintain a healthy food balance. No junk food only healthy foods." I look at Karen.

"You think you handle that baby?"

"Yeah... I have too... for our baby." I kiss her head and the doctor checks us out and makes an appointment in one week for us. I help Karen up and out to the car. I drive us home and help her in the house. I help her to the bedroom and help her change into something comfortable. She lays down and I lay beside her and hold her.
