"He's dead?" I asked

Braden didn't say anything he just nodded.

"H-How?"

"I killed him." He said "He came at me with a knife, and I couldn't just, you know I have a permit to carry and. I had to defend myself and you." He said embracing me in his warm arms

Tears sprung quickly out of my eyes racing down the sides of my cheeks and onto the kitchen floor, yes I was a bit saddened by James's death, but I was relieved.

"Thank you." I said

"Now let's get you to the hospital," he said leading me out of the front doors.

The bright lights of police cars and ambulances hit me and the the brightness glared in my eyes.

A paramedic made his way over to me and helped me into the ambulance, Braden asked if he could accompany me to the hospital, but he was denied.

****

At the hospital, the doctor asked me a lot of... Well... Personal questions.

"Are you on birth control?"

"No. Are you?" I asked sarcastically

"Did he use a condom?"

"I don't know, did you?"

"Is there even a possibility you could be pregnant?" He asked

That question hit me like a brick to the head, and trust me I know what that feels like!

"Yes. No. I don't know."

"Well while you're here over the week for observation, we'll have some tests ran. Are you okay with this?" He asked

I just nodded. I couldn't speak, I couldn't be pregnant. There was absolutely no possibility whatsoever that I was pregnant with James's child. I could not be pregnant with a monster like that. What would I do? I didn't make good enough grades as it is! How would I make it by? My parents would disown me, Braden wouldn't want me, or the child! I'd just have to wait and see.

****

Over the week the doctor ran a test to see if I was pregnant and the results would be ready in less than a day. Even though he might abandon me I decided I'd have to tell Braden.

It was a dull Tuesday and the rain was coming down like crazy, even though I was being released tomorrow I still dreaded it. It didn't help that the possible father of my child was having his funeral tomorrow.

Braden sat asleep in the green arm chair by the side of my bed, he hadn't left all week.

"Braden," I whispered

No response

"Braden?" I asked

"Hmm?" He asked sleepily

"Can I tell you something?" I asked

"Of course." He moved closer to me grabbing my hand

"I might be pregnant." I said bluntly

He was now wide eyed in shock

"Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure as to if I'm pregnant yet, but there's a pretty good chance... The doctor said the test results will be ready tomorrow."

"Whatever the result is, Aud I'm here for you and the baby." Braden said

I wrapped him in my arms, and for the first time in years, I smiled.

"Braden."

"Yeah, Aud?"

"I'm scared," I said

"Don't be. James can't hurt you or anyone else." He said kissing my cheek "I won't let anyone hurt you."

Sorry it's shooooort!
