My Lovely Murder

Alexander:

After eating, I took Hazel to a library near the hotel. "Books!" Hazel exclaimed as we walked into the library. I held her hand and smiled. We walked in the library and Hazel's face lit as we went in there, only to be ruined by a kick in her belly. "Ow! I don't like these kicks!" she said, squeezing my hand. After that we went to a nice restaurant. We picked a nice place.

We sat at a table and I saw some people looking at us. I saw one was an old guy. He muttered something "(swears) Chinese woman should be slaves." I glared at him and saw Hazel glaring at him too. "Alex, I don't like the way he's looking at me, it's making me uncomfortable." Hazel told me.

"He's making me uncomfortable too." I told her, squeezing her hand under the table. "Ow! What the f- a kick!" Hazel said, squeezing my hand tightly.

"I don't like this part of pregnancy." Hazel told me. "Me neither. But wouldn't it be great to it'd be to have a child. Wouldn't it be great?" I said, squeezing her close to me.

I kissed her on the cheek, but I guess that was too much for Mr. Stare(the guy). He came over cussing in Indian. "You Chinese women deserve to be slaves. And also, an American boy getting a Chinese woman pregnant, gross!" the guy scolded.

The guy picked up a knife and got Hazel with it. "No! You son of a b-"

I punched him and picked up Hazel. "Hazel, are you OK?" I asked, holding her in my arms and tears falling down my cheeks. She didn't say anything or do anything. "Ah damn." I said. I looked around and ran to the manager, who spoke English, thank God.

We rushed to the hospital and the person got her in a room STAT. I sat by her, holding her hand and squeezing it. She groaned a little. "Hazel!" I said as she opened her eyes. I hugged her so tightly. She smiled and kissed her cheek. "You can your child for me waking up, their kick woke me up." Hazel told me. I smiled brightly and put my hand on her belly. Yep, these kicks are hard. I felt them.

"Hazel, you should rest." I told her. "It's good for the baby. Plus you were stabbed, so I'd at least feel better if you rest." I told her. She smiled and closed her eyes.
