At the hospital

POV Bea:

I look at the blanket, tears rolling slowly down my face. I hear people talking to me, but to be honest, I'm not listening. All I can think of is what I was just told. I have a baby, his baby, in my body. I shiver at the thought of it. I can see him. Every time I close my eyes, I see him hunched over me, with a knife in his hand.

I feel a sharp pain in my leg, one that launches me into memories of that week. The worst week of my life. I realize that Callie has been talking to me this entire time, so I glance up at her to tell her she has my attention.

"Your leg's doing better. I still think the infection is bad, and if I were you I would choose amputation, but I understand why you wouldn't want to." I look down at the leg in question. It was the cause of my lowgrade fever and chills. It hurt like hell. But I couldn't chop it off. I can't, it's a part of me. "Listen, Bea. This infection, I know it hurts. It goes down to the bone, and Bea, if it comes to the decision where you die or lose the leg, I'm going to have to choose to lose the leg." She explains softly. "Okay, I'm going to go, okay? We can talk more about this after everyone else is done rounding on you, okay?" I focus on the uncomfortable blanket on top of me, trying to distract myself.

"Beatrice, honey, you should listen to what Callie has to say, okay?" My dad says, squeezing my hand from his spot next to me. Arizona and Addison come in and both smile at me. I assume they do anyway. I'm focusing mostly on their shoes.

"Okay, Bea. I've just got to do a check-up. Just like normal, okay?" She explains in her peppy way. I nod, still not looking up. It's been like this ever since I found out. I haven't said a word. I don't even know what I would say if I wanted to talk. I can't think about it without thinking about him and what he did.

POV Kris:

I stand outside her room while Dr. Robbins and Dr. Montgomery are examining her, along with Alex and Olivia. Sofia is also here, sitting in the corner, looking afraid to speak.

"I don't even know what I should say. What do you say to your girlfriend who just got kidnapped, tortured, and raped? There's not exactly an instruction manual." I say, looking in on her. She looks so miserable.

"We have no idea what she even went through. All we know is through the cassette. That's mainly her screaming." Olivia mumbles. I heard the tape. I could only listen for about five seconds before I began sobbing uncontrollably.

"Right. Who knows what he did to her." Alex jumps in.

"She might lose her leg because of that bastard. She's so traumatized that she has yet to say anything. I don't know what to do? What can I do?" I ask fretfully.

"Why don't you go shower, take a nap, change. You look awful, Kristen." Alex says, rolling his eyes.

"I'm fine," I muttered, continuing to stare at Bea through the window.
