" Taylor? Hi Taylor, can you hear us? " her eyes fluttered open, the black dots that had once formed now marginally smaller, her vision delayed, but she was able to hear some authoritative chatter in the background. With a sense of desperation, her blue eyes fixed on a torch that was being shone in them, she tried her best to follow them, to show she was responsive.
" hi there Taylor, I'm Dr Osborne, it's good to see you awake " a soft, warm voice spoke once more as Taylor groaned a little bit, the weight of what happened forcing down on her.

" E-Elise? T-Travis? " she muttered. Her two favourite people.

" they're perfectly okay, Travis is just a few wards away with Elise, do you want me to call him for you? " she explained gently and Taylor shook her head.

" n-no. Elise needs him " Even in her own negative state of welfare, all she could think about was Elise's wellbeing.

" very well then, do you remember what happened honey? " she asked, grabbing ahold of Taylor's finger and placing an oxygen reader on it.

" I felt really lightheaded and then suddenly everything just went black " Taylor recalled, she remembered hearing Travis' voice faintly in the background too.

" well it's good you can remember. Taylor, did you have any idea that you are pregnant? " suddenly, Taylor's body shot up, almost involuntarily at the news. Pregnant? That was impossible. Her and Travis hadn't had sex for ages, let alone the fact she was near to infertile.

" excuse me? Pregnant? I don't think that's right " Taylor protested. Was she still dreaming?

" it very much is, your blood test results have a very high measurement of HCG in them, you're definitely pregnant honey "

" I don't think you understand, the doctor told me I was basically infertile, and me and my husband haven't had sex for as long as I can remember " a million things rushed around Taylor's mind. She was pregnant. How far along? Was the baby okay? What about Elise? " how far along am I? Are they okay? " she blurted out as everything began to process.

" I'm not entirely sure yet, we'll have to look at your dates. Do you remember your last period? I just got these results through now, so we'll do an ultrasound, okay? " her last period? Come to think of it, Taylor realised she in fact hadn't had a period for a while, but she put it down to the stress of everything that went on with Elise, messing up her cycles.

" I think about 3 or so months ago? " Taylor gulped, trying to swallow her nerves.

" and do you remember the last time you were sexually active? " did she? They'd gotten so tangled and caught up with Elise and half the time, Taylor was so depressed she didn't even leave her room. But one night did spring to mind, her and Travis, they'd had a few drinks, trying to distract themselves from everything bad happening around them, they'd got a bit carried away, but Taylor could've sworn it didn't last longer than a couple of minutes.

" I don't remember the date, our daughter, she'd been taken from us, the whole period was a blur if I'm honest " Taylor admitted.

" that's okay, we'll do an ultrasound right now and confirm it all for you. Are you okay if I lift your shirt up just above your belly? " Taylor nodded, watching as the doctor moved with ease, folding Taylor shirt so it sat just below her bra, squeezing some gel onto the probe before placing it onto the lower part of her abdomen. Like Taylor has suspected, nothing but black, empty space filled the screen, the occasional sound of some fluid every so often.
