Point racing

-Elizabeth's POV-

"Ugh..." I groaned, my stomach being in pain. I have had 4 doctors taken a look at me, but no one have been able to tell me what's wrong with my pregnancy. They all have given me stuff to try and lessen the pain, but in the end, they all just come up with one answer to end it...

Abort...

And then they said it's not even a 100% chance that the pain goes away.

I don't want to do abort. Sure, I don't want a child, especially not with Meliodas, but I can't even think of killing off my own child. I feel like such a bad person if I do. Especially when Meliodas really seem to want the child.

Besides, it's only 2 months left of the pregnancy. I probably can endure it all...

"I'm really sorry, but I can't find anything wrong..." My 5th doctor told me. With a small nod, I said "Thank you for all your help either way..."

"I'm coming back for one last test next week, is that fine?"

I nodded and we spoke a couple more words before the doctor left. Meliodas stepped into the room, sitting down in bed.

"The results?" He asked.

"Nothing." I replied, staring up at the ceiling with an immense pain. Meliodas nodded, brushing some hair out of my face.

"Is it anything I can do for you to make you feel better?"

"Well... I miss point racing..."

He stared at me a couple seconds, saying "You know it's dangerous when you are pregnant. You will most likely miscarry."

"I know... but I just want to get out of this damn house and do something I like."

He nodded, saying "I have my next race tomorrow... I will take you there to watch..."

"Thanks..." I mumbled. It become quiet and just as awkward as usually. He has been distancing himself from me like I wanted him to. He says he does it to make me happy, but he still comes over at every doctor's appointment I have and every second day to check up on me, making sure I have everything needed and everything wanted.

He buys me groceries every week, he brings me food from different restaurants every second day so I could just heat it up and eat instead of cooking a whole meal. He takes care of me like I'm a 10 year old left home alone.

However, even if he visits pretty much, we don't speak as much. I feel uncomfortable with him here, but I also feel lonely when I'm alone.

It feels like I'm supposed to love him the way he loves me... It feels like he deserves that I love him the way he loves me.

But I can't love him. I tried, but I just couldn't.

"Is it anything more you want?"

I kept quiet a while before mumbling "Find someone else..."

"What?"

"Just... find someone else to love and leave me alone..."

"I can't. I won't be able to love anyone else than you, so it's not even worth trying. I will always love you, even if I don't want to. It's nothing I can do about it..."

"And it's the same for me not loving you, so it's better if we just split up..."

"Love-"

"Don't call me that."

"Elizabeth, I don't want to depart from you. As long as I'm close to you, then I'm happy. I will always be."

I sighed, asking "Can you go now? I want to be alone."

He nodded, standing up.

"Call me if you need anything." He said, seeing me nod before walking away with a "See ya."

I reached for my phone, dialing Mael's number. He quickly answered and I asked for him to come over.

. . . . .

I was leaning against Mael, my arms around my stomach as I was in pain while we watched a movie. I haven't told Mael that I was in pain, so he didn't know. I didn't want him to worry.

Smuggling into Mael's side, I started feeling tired.

"Are you okay? Should I do something for you?"

"No, no, just pregnancy problems that can't be fixed. Don't worry about it." I mumbled. He nodded, asking "Do you need to rest? I can go home if you do-"

"No, I just don't want to be alone nor be with Meliodas."

"Okay, what's up Elizabeth? You aren't acting like your usual self." Mael told me while  turning off the tv. Sitting up properly, I took a couple seconds to gather myself.

"I'm just... stressed and confused..."

"About?"

"The baby... Meliodas... my future..."

"Okay, start with the midget. What has he done now?" He asked, leaning back with a straight face.

"He just... he never gives up... I have rejected him several times by now. I have distanced myself as much as I can and been a horrible person to him... and he still manages to love me in some strange way... it's annoying..."

Mael was quiet, making me continue "I just want him to let go of me. To break the contact with me and maybe only have some when he would be with our child, but even how badly I treat him, he always makes sure I get the way I want."

He kept quiet a couple seconds before mumbling "What about the baby? What are you worrying about with it?"

"I'm scared it will be something wrong with it... I have been to a doctor to see the gender with Meliodas, but they couldn't see what it was... It's something strange with my pregnancy and no doctors know what it is... I'm worried it will be something wrong with the baby... really worried."

"Worried about what? What do you think will happen?"

"I don't know... maybe there is some kind of sickness it will get or it might be something wrong physically." I mumbled and we continued talking for a while.
