5 Confrontation

Lucy's eyes began to open little by little, blinded by a white light.  She was surrounded by a white room and she had Gru on the left side of her.  He, realizing that the redhead had woken up, carefully hugged her.  "Lucy, I'm so sorry..." He mumbled as he put his arms around her body.
After the long hug, a bit confused, Lucy decided to speak;
"What happened? Why am I here?"

"Honey, while we were arguing you fainted. You didn't regain consciousness so I decided to take you to the emergency room. They did a blood test to find out what's wrong with you and your state of health. You worried me a lot" Gru said as he caressed her cheek.

"Oh god, I've gone crazy... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to get that way but I don't know what's wrong with me."  She said with a sad tone as her eyes glazed over.

A young doctor approached Gru.  He made a gesture indicating to Gru that he wanted to talk to her but Gru indicated that he himself wanted to talk to her.

"Gru, what's wrong?"  She said, worried when she saw the doctor.

"Something we'll talk about later. First I need you to calm down, last night was pretty... bad."  He answered her while he looked away.

"And all because of me, right?"  Small tears came to Lucy when she remembered what happened that night.

"Honey, don't take that into account anymore.." Gru told her looking straight into her eyes.

"I have a feeling you're hiding something from me... But before I ask what's going on, what happened to the girls?"  The redhead asked a little more seriously as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I went to take you to the ER and told Dru ahead of time. The girls are fine, don't worry."  He said a little dejectedly as he started fingering his wedding ring.

Lucy noticed the gesture and kept thinking.  She looked up into her husband's eyes.

"Gru, be honest. Do you want to divorce me? I know I've been acting crazy."
The redhead began to cry small sobs as she looked at her ring.

"Honey, don't get me wrong, I still love you. And as much as ever. I'll help you out of this and we'll get through this long road together."
Gru walked over to Lucy and hugged her again.  "What I want to tell you... I know you've been very bad these days, barely eating, vomiting..."

"If you are going to send me to a psychologist, tell me now. I know my behavior has not been adequate. It will affect me mentally" She interrupted Gru as she moved away from him and looked at the ground.

Gru delicately turned Lucy's chin so that she looked into his eyes.  "Honey, it's not that. I need you to calm down. Listen carefully."  He said as he grabbed the redhead's left hand with both of his hands.  He began to look at her delicate hand as he spoke.

"Lucy, what you've been going through these weeks may be some depression, I know you've had a hard time remembering all those things from the past, but there's something else."  Gru looked up into Lucy's pretty green eyes.
"The tests that the doctors have done... Lucy... you... you... You are pregnant...!"

Lucy's eyes widened.  Her heart stopped at that moment.  Her breathing began to hitch and she began to shake.  She tried to speak but the words couldn't come out of her mouth.  The phrase began to repeat itself non-stop in her head.  She was silent for a few moments.

"WHAT? You're kidding, right?"  The redhead began to stare at her husband with wide eyes.  Every time her breathing became more agitated and she was every second more tense.

"Calm down, please. I don't want you to pass out again... Look..."

Gru started counting on his fingers as he named her symptoms;  "Dizziness, vomiting, lack of appetite, VERY DRASTIC mood swings... It all agrees and the tests have confirmed it, honey."  Gru began to notice how Lucy was getting paler.
