ELLAPOV

I don't want to be here today, today I have to give evidence in the trial of the man that abducted me, I know when I do this it might be over, I mean I try not to think about it but sometimes I can be off with the fairies and suddenly I'm there in the forest scared.

It's still hurting to pick up the kids even more so now I must have done some damage to my stomach I don't know what painkillers are my friend I don't touch the kids when Norman's not here I told Misty that when he's not here she's to look after the kids pick them up carry them, Stella keeps coming to me and says up, but it can't it hurts, I did a couple of days ago and she accidentally kicked my stomach it felt like I'd been hit by a baseball bat, I nearly dropped Stella when it happened.

I'm in bed I don't want to get up, but I know I have to, I'm not in any discomfort if I don't move. I look over and I don't see my husband I can't believe he's looking as sexy as ever. I can't believe we've been married a year which is a year ago tomorrow, though I don't want a bar of him every time we try to sleep together it hurts unless it's from behind or I'm on top, that's when I feel like it, but Norman's wonderful he's patient with me, never hassles I'm very lucky, though he watches me like a hawk he'd make Daryl very proud watching me when he thinks I'm not noticing.

"Hey, baby." I look over and see him at the door with a tray in his hands, he made me breakfast in bed. He's so sweet.

"Hey, you. What are you been doing?"

"I made us breakfast in bed. I wanted us to spend some time together before everything goes crazy today. Are you okay? You don't look it, you are still in pain okay scale of 0 to 10 how bad?"

"I'm fine it's just taking a long time to recover from whatever I did to myself."

"Babe how bad is it?"

"Seven."

"Babe, have you seen anyone about this? This has been going on for far too long, since before Eye died so that's at least five weeks maybe longer."

"But he'll just get me to do what I'm already doing resting and pain medication. He won't tell me any different."

"Can you just humor me babe go when you've finished giving evidence?"

"Okay, I will. I'm not hungry babe."

"Just a little babe please, I know you're not eating properly and you're losing weight again."

"Have you seen my stomach Norman if I didn't know better I'd say I was pregnant, it's that rounded?"

"I wouldn't know babe it's been days since we slept together. This isn't normal babe. I'm worried about you. We've gone from three times a day to once every two weeks babe."

"Well it hurts Norman and I'm not in the mood to be hurt so it's just easier to say no."

"See that's not normal. Promise me babe tomorrow we're going to the doctor or I'm dragging there myself."

"Okay fuck I didn't think you'd harp on about it. It's nothing major Norman."

"But what if it wasn't babe."

"God, you're a drama queen, if it'll shut you the fuck up about it fine I'll go."

"Yeah, I quit if you go okay."

"I'm sorry I just don't want to think about it Norman it could be stress it could be anything, hell it could be cancer I don't know."

"Oh god don't say that I don't want to lose you, babe."

"Oh god, now I've started you on that idea. I'm not going anywhere for a long time Norman. I'm sorry but there's no way I can eat all that."

"Just a little babe that's all I want to see you eat okay?"
