The Girl Who Could Read

Hospital Visit

Aphmau pov.

I woke up with an extreme headache and I felt sick. Really sick  I look over expecting Aaron to be there but he wasn't. I try to get up but it's just hard to move my body. Aaron comes into the room. 

Aar: Woah there miss, you have bed rest today until we had to the hospital. 

Aph: huh?

Aar: You're sick and you deserve a break for once. We going to the hospital around 2 pm.

Aph: Oh? Am I ask why?

Aar: You been fainting a lot. Ein and I are concerned about you. We all didn't think your fainting would get this bad. 

He is not wrong. Lately, I have been fainting a lot more. Dizziness fills my head. Even now I am dizzy. Am I not okay?

Aar: let alone you are pregnant but we don't think that's the cause. 

Aph: Yeah.

Aar: Have you fainted before like this? 

Aph: Not since I was 4 no. 

Aar: Oh? 

He sits down on the bed. 

Aar: tell me more.

Aph: When I was 4, I fainted a lot. It was hot during the summers, so doctors and other medical people brushed it off as just me not getting along with heat. Which is true. I don't get along with heat. It only brought actual concern to my parents when I wouldn't stop fainting in the winter. Even though I was warm. I fainted twice as much as I did in the Winter then Spring between Fall. I remember it because it was like I was sleeping all the time. As 4 year old, I didn't mind. Nor did I care. I was sleeping most of the winter days. I was warm and safe. We still don't know what caused me to faint but once I turned 5 it's like everything that happened to me a year ago was a dream.  I never questioned it. I do remember it though. Maybe it's coming back? I would say I don't mind but I do. 

Aar: Because you clean and stuff.

Aph: That and I wouldn't be able to spend time with my two favorite people. That would just suck. 

I sneezed. 

Aar: Bless you!

Aph: AHhh thank you. 

Aar: You are welcome, Ah right. Stay here I have soup for you. You have to rest today. You got a bad fever. I've checked you, you've gone down a bit but it's still at 100.

I raise my hand to my forehead. I even could tell I was a lot warmer than I usually am. 

Aph: Okay.

He smiles at me and gets off the bed. He kisses my forehead and then leaves. I lay back looking at the ceiling. I take a deep breath. My first day off. I can relax for a day. I look over and it was 10 pm. He returns with a bowl of soup. 

Aar: Here babe, eat this and try to get dressed if you can. If you need anything I'll be downstairs. 

Aph: Thank you, Aaron. I love you 

He leaves again. I finish my soup and I get dressed. I sit on the bed for a while. My head was spinning. I look up and it's about 11:30 pm. I stood up and immediately fell back down. 

Aph: The hell? I just want to stand.

Aar: I heard a noise you ok?

Aaron had run into the room. He looked so worried

Aph: I can't stand Aaron. 

Aar: What do you mean?

Aph: I can't stand up without feeling dizzy and falling back down on the bed.
