Secrets 11

Elizabeth and Michael were enjoying a nice dinner date. They were leaving the restaurant and headed to the car. Michael helped Elizabeth into the car and then went around the car and got in himself.
"Dinner was fun Michael. I am glad we did that it was fun."
"Yeah it was nice just you and me" Michael said as he smiled at Elizabeth.

Michael and Elizabeth continued to talk while they drove back home. All of a sudden out of nowhere came a truck driving on the wrong side of the road and heading right at them. Michael swerved the Range Rover so that the truck would hopefully miss them but the still hit them. It caused the Range Rover to flip over and Elizabeth screamed!

A little bit later on Elizabeth looked around and realized that the Range Rover was filled with airbags. She did not feel bad but you never know plus she had to be careful because she was pregnant. She looked at Michael and called his name but no response. Elizabeth knew not to touch Michael for fear of hurting him more and tears filled her eyes.
"Please God let Michael be ok I need him more and so does our baby."
Then Elizabeth found her cell phone and called 911.
The ambulance, police and firetruck were all there within a few minutes. They started working on taking care of Elizabeth and Michael. The medics talked to Elizabeth about what had happened and she told them that she was worried about her baby and Michael. They told her to just relax and that hopefully everything will be fine and they were all off to the hospital.

Sure enough the news had the story about the accident and that who was involved.
"Good Evening folks there was a car accident earlier this evening involving 14 time Olympic medalist swimmer Michael Phelps and his longtime girlfriend, Elizabeth Matthews. No official word on how they are doing but we will keep you updated on this story as we get updates. Thank you and back to your regular programming.

Debbie was heading to her car when her cell phone went off.
"Hello"
"Mom Whitney and I just heard and are heading to get you ok" Hilary said.
"OK I will see you in a bit."
"Later" said Hilary.
About fifteen minutes later Hilary pulled up and Debbie walked out of the house and got in the car. And off they went to the hospital.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Elizabeth was getting check over by a doctor. They had the ultrasound up and checking out the baby. The doctor was doing a complete examination of Elizabeth and the baby. Finally after what seems like forever they had Elizabeth in a room to stay for observation because of her pregnancy. Elizabeth was going to be fine just a few minor bumps and bruises that would heal. Luckily too the baby seemed just fine as well which was such a relief. She needed to know what the status was of Michael so when the nurse came back in the room she decided she would ask.
"I was wondering how's my boyfriend, Michael's doing?"
"I don't know off hand but I can go and check for you in a minute ok" said the nurse.
"That would be wonderful because I am so worried and I can't lose him now especially with our baby on the way" Elizabeth said while trying not to cry but couldn't help it and the tears flowed.
The nurse came over and gave her a hug and some tissues.
"I will go right now and see how your boyfriend is doing."
"Th..th..thank you" Elizabeth finally stuttered out between tears.
When the nurse left Elizabeth patted her abdomen and smiled to herself thinking that Michael had to be ok for the sake of their baby.
A little bit later on the nurse finally came back into the room.
"Well he was in surgery and is recovering at the moment. He will be in the recovery room for a while and then be transferred to his regular room. But he should be fine. He will have to stay in the hospital for a while but he will be as good as new" said the nurse.
"Thank you so much and I feel so much better that he will be ok. I want to see him as soon as I can."
"I think that can be arranged. Now you need to rest for your sake and your baby's."
"I will now. And thank you again" Elizabeth said as she got comfortable in her bed.

Debbie, Hilary and Whitney went to a desk to find out where Michael and Elizabeth were.
"Hello we are looking for my son. He was just brought in here after being in an accident" said Debbie worriedly.
"What is your son's name mam?"
"Oh sorry its Michael Phelps."
"I don't have a room yet for him just yet but I do see that he was brought in. Now I do have a room number for the young lady that he was with. Would you like that room instead?"
"Yes that would be great."
"Miss Matthews is in room 214."
"Thank you so much."
And off went Debbie, Hilary and Whitney to see Elizabeth.

A few minutes later Elizabeth heard a knock at the door and she looked up to see Michael's mom and sisters.
"Hey guys come on in" Elizabeth said.
"How are you and my grandchild doing?" asked Debbie.
"We are actually fine and were check over completely but nothing major but we need to stay for observation for a couple of days."
"We are glad that you and the baby are ok Elizabeth" said Hilary.
"Have you heard anything about Michael yet?" asked Debbie.
"He had surgery and is in the recovery room and hopefully soon will be in his own room because I was so worried. I can't lose Michael now I love him so much" Elizabeth said as she started crying again. Debbie hugged her close and told her that everything would be ok and that Michael is a strong man and loves her too.
The four women sat around and talked about Michael and what happened at the accident. And that the man in the truck was drunk and died on the way to the hospital from what the Elizabeth had heard from the doctor. It was horrible and you have to deal with the decisions you make in life. A few hours later the doctor came in to check on Elizabeth and the baby. Afterwords the nurse came in and told Elizabeth that Michael was now in his room a couple doors down. Elizabeth and the others were happy to know he was in a room and resting.
"I am going to go and see him" Debbie said.
"I want to see him too" Elizabeth said.
"Let's see if we can get a nurse to help you and we can all go see him" announced Debbie.
Finally they went to go and see Michael. He was resting and kinda out of it from what the nurse said.
Elizabeth was pushed in the wheelchair over to where Michael's bed and she was able to sit down next to Michael and she took his hand in hers.
"I love you Michael and I am so glad that you are going to be ok. I was extremely worried I might lose you and I can't because I need and love you so much!"
"Hey beautiful. I love you too" Michael said extremely quietly.
Elizabeth looked at Michael's face and a huge smile appeared. She leaned down to give him a quick kiss.
"I think I need more of those to make me better" joked Michael.
"I think you need to stop talking and rest" said Debbie.
"Mom, Hilary and Whitney. Hey guys."
"We are just so glad that you are going to be ok. I just can't believe all of this happened.
"Yeah little bro we are glad you and Elizabeth were not more seriously hurt" said Whitney smiling at her brother.
Michael put his hand on Elizabeth's abdomen and looked up. She placed her hand over his and smiled.
"The baby is ok Michael. We are both fine by what the doctor said. But I am staying here for observation."
"Good because I don't know what I would do without either of you" Michael said smiling.
"OK hotstuff I need to get back to my room because I am tired so I will see you soon.
I love you Michael" Elizabeth leaned back towards Michael and they kissed again. Michael did not want Elizabeth to leave just yet and deepened the kiss but Elizabeth pulled back and just rolled her eyes at Michael and knowing what he was really thinking. Even though he was in the hospital recovering from a serious accident he was still a guy and had one thing on his mind.
"Good night Mikey and I love you" said Elizabeth.
"Good night honey and I love you too and sleep well. Debbie said.
"Feel better Mike" said Whitney.
"Yeah Michael get better soon" said Hilary.
Then they all left and Michael feel back to sleep.

Debbie, Whitney and Hilary got Elizabeth back to her room and said their goodbyes.
Then Elizabeth got herself ready for bed and went to sleep.

Over at the Matthew's household, Elizabeth's parents saw the news about the accident and were in shock. They decided it was time to make up and fix the mess that they had started.
