(Draco's Pov)
Aurelia was moved into a recovery room.
Everyone was here, we were getting answers.
When a women's in labour their bodies are under a lot pressure. That jolt of shock when my baby flatlined threw everything out of order in Aurelia's body.
The therapist was unsure of what was gonna happen when Aurelia wakes up, but there's a high possibility she'll still be in psychosis.
It's temporary, but we don't know how long it'll last. It could be a day, weeks, there's no telling.
As for our baby, she's in the NICU.
As for me, there isn't much to say.
My crying stopped, but the pain didn't change.
Aurelia woke up, and I grabbed her hand.
"Do you know who you are?"
There are different parts of psychosis.
There's a chance Aurelia won't know her identity, or anyone's.
"Your girlfrien- why am I even answering?
And why are we in a hospital bed?"
"What's the last thing you remember?"
"I was having Braxton hicks. Oh that's why I'm here." Said Aurelia.
She has no idea.

The next day
I spent a night in the hospital because of my Braxton hicks, but I'm back at the manor now.
I put my hands on my stomach.
"Darling, you gave the doctors a real scare last night." I smiled.
Draco's leg started shaking.
"Your father was scared too." I said.
Draco looked at the clock.
"Come on."
For some reason I'm wearing this huge pad, and I'm bleeding a lot. Something to do with the Braxton hicks I guess.
I sat on the toilet, and Draco knelt in front of me. He then cleaned me, and changed my pad.
"I could do this myself, but you never let me. You're such a good man."
Draco didn't say anything.
He helped me stand, and washed his hands.
We sat back on the couch, and he put his head in his hands.
"You hungry? I can make you amazing pasta,
I'm Italian you know."
"Aurelia please just rest."
Draco's voice was lifeless.
I sighed and gave him a hug.
"I get it, yesterday was scary. But everything's fine now."

11:50pm
Aurelias finally asleep.
I left the house.
The boys and I were on a walk.
Theo wrapped his arm around me, and I took a deep inhale of my cigarette.
"I know her therapist said to treat her normally, and wait for her to realize, but it's so hard. Aurelia talks to her stomach like there's a baby in there." My voice cracked.
I sat on a bench, and my head dropped.
"I can't do it anymore, I c-can't." I cried.
Enzo rubbed my shoulder.
"We're all here for you. You're not alone."
"Aurelia's stomach shrunk a bit. Can't she see the baby's gone?" Said Theo.
"No." I said.
