"Ugh." I sat down on my white sofa in the living room in my large mansion. My feet are swollen and my back hurts from walking around all day, "Robin, can you come down here please?" The house was surprisingly quiet, usually when I get home from work Roland is usually getting dropped off from pre school and Henry is home doing homework or playing video games; but Robin was always home before her ever since I passed my second trimester, now that I'm in my third he's always home. He is a wonderful husband, always trying to make me comfortable and calming me down when I get frightened over something silly. But today no one was home, I sighed and patted my rather large stomach and kicked my black heels off and stretched out on the couch. "We should probably get some rest while the boys are out." and I slowly drifted asleep.

Two hours later I woke up to find a warm fleece blanket over me, it was extremely large, as I slowly sat up I realized it was Robin and mine's comforter! I laughed and moved the blanket off of me, then all of a sudden Roland came running in with tears streaming down is precious little face, my mind drifted into memories of Henry when he was that little. "What's wrong honey?" He placed is little face on my lap, which was now soaked with his tears, as exhausted as I was, I pulled him up onto my chest and rocked him back and forth, trying to calm his tiny body. "Roland are you going to tell me what's wrong?" He looked up at me with his big brown eyes and started shouting "daddy is on the floor! Daddy is on the floor!" I immediately grabbed my phone and saw multiple missed calls from him and Henry. A knot of fear grew in my stomach. I slowly stood up, my back groaning from the effort, and the baby protesting with a distinctive kick. I walked into the kitchen and saw Robin laying face-down on the tile, his back had a horrifying puncture on it, and blood kept pouring out. I was shocked. I immediately tried to bend over and grab him, but my back disagreed. A pain in my lower back caused me to sit down on the stool; unable to walk or stand, and with a crying three-year-old on my lap I grabbed the phone and called an ambulance. They arrived shortly and loaded Robin into the back of the car and sped off. Suddenly the door opened and Henry came running in, covered in mud and dirt, staining my white carpet and towels. "Henry Daniel Mills! Where have you been! You are staying with me this weekend and in this house we have rules!" Henry looked at me with an irritated glance, ever since he turned fourteen he had started become a lot more hormonal and testy. "I called but you didn't answer! I just figured you were doing something with Robin so I went out to the docks and hung out! What's the big deal? I know you're pregnant but you don't need to act crazy." I snapped my head towards him as a bubble of anger boiled up inside of me. "Henry Mills! I will not be sassed by you, now go take Roland and take him to Snow and Charming's house and stay there until I get you!" he looked stunned, I usually don't like to yell at him but I was too worried. The two of them left and once they were gone I got into my car, which already had the car seat loaded next to Roland's. I sped over to the hospital where Robin had already been taken back into a room. "Mrs. Mills, your husband is in room 402, he is recovering from an attack by a dragon, the poison caused him to pass out, but he is awake but we want to keep him here for a couple of days just to monitor is health." I nodded and thanked the nurse, then quickly walked into the cold room where my husband was laying. "Hello beautiful, how's my wife?" He was pale and cold, but he was alive, which was good. "honey you scared me! I didn't know what I would do without you! Don't ever do anything like that again! Do you understand?" He laughed at me and moved over so I could lay with him in his bed. "You know Roland put our comforter on me while I was taking a nap because the baby and I looked cold." We both laughed and he pulled me closer to him while he placed a hand on my swollen torso, while he fell asleep.

"Ouch!" The baby was days away from it's due date which meant every day that I was still pregnant was extremely uncomfortable. I sat up in my bed and turned the fan on, the room suddenly got extremely hot and a wave of nausea hit me. I ran to the toilet and threw up. I slowly sank back down to the floor and grabbed my phone. Dialing took energy that I didn't want to use. "Emma, I know it's late but can you come get Roland and Henry, I can't stop vomiting and I don't want to keep them up tonight." It was quiet for a second then Emma replied "yeah of course. "
