Taylor drove way to hard on our way to the hospital and I knew she wanted to cry but she refused. She told me she would stay strong for me.
This was the first time she actually knew he had hurt me. It killed her.
"You are not going back there! Trust me, we will call the cops and I will make sure he will be locked up! Locked up... No I am going to fucking kill him. We should have left sooner. It's my fault. Fuck I am so sorry Em"
I couldn't really respond even breathing started to hurt.

Once we came down on the ER and Taylor said I was pregnant and beaten up by my husband they helped me right away. They even got me a private room where we would wait for the doctor to make a sonogram. It only took five minutes for the doctor to arrive and examine me.
I was bruised up big time. He said there were no broken ribs but had to take some pictures to be sure. My hand did look like it was broken.
After that first examine he hooked me up to a monitor to check on the baby.
That was the first time I heard it's heartbeat. "It sounds like it is still going strong" The doctor smiled getting some cold gel on my lower abdomen to actually see the baby. I had decided to wait with check up's on the baby until Taylor and me settled down somewhere. I was due my first sonogram by now and besides all the pain I got really excited to see my baby. My little baby who was so strong! Strong enough to survive a beat up by Andrew.

"Look there it is, healthy and kicking" The doctor smiled faintly. It was a minuscule little thing including arms and legs.
Now Taylor did start to cry. "Em... look at it, it's perfect" She cried hugging me firmly.
She was right. It was and I couldn't help but cry too. I even noticed my normal flat belly having this tiny little bulge. There would be no stopping this pregnancy now.

At that moment Taylor's phone started to ring and the doctor gave her a look. "No phones miss" he told her and she nodded. " I will be right back" she told me and left the small room leaving me alone with the Doctor.

"May I ask what caused your injuries?" He asked making some notes on a clipboard. I bit my lower lip, now I would have to tell him. There was no way I could lie now. It was hard though, to admit it and there was a long pause before I could actually answer and tell him. The doctor stayed patient while I found the courage to say something.

"Emily!" I turned pale recognizing his voice. Andrew stormed into the room and hugged me before I could object.
"I came as soon as I heard baby. How silly of you to fall down the stairs!"
I was stunned... Fell down the stairs?
"I came as soon as I heard... Is my wife alright doctor?" He turned his attention to the doctor holding my non fractured hand firmly in his. Squeezing it so hard I would swear he would break it too. This was a warning. I had to stay quiet.
"Yes..." The doctor seemed a little surprised himself. "She is fine and the baby is too."
Hearing that Andrew's grip got even more tight around my hand. "Perfect! I am so happy to hear that baby!" He turned around hugging me tightly. "Say a word and I swear I will kill you" He whispered in my ear. I hoped the doctor heard him but he didn't. He was a bit insure though because I had to look terrified.

"Are you alright?" He asked me. Andrew gave me a look and I just nodded.
"She is just a little banged up with her fall, she called me but her friend was there before me so I raced to the hospital as soon as I could" Andrew smiled. "I can take it from here" He insisted ready to help me from the bed and take me home.
"I am sorry sir but your wife needs to get some x-ray's done before she can leave. She has a possible fractured hand and maybe even some ribs"
Andrew pauses giving me a look over and turned to the doctor. "Are you sure? She can exaggerate a little sometimes." He laughed.
"Sir, I would like your wife to stay. We don't want to take any risk considering your wife's condition."
Andrew sighed and crossed his arms... "Yeah sure" He muttered not at all happy with my so called condition. The doctor nodded and gave me a worried look before he left.
"I will get you in as soon as possible" He told me and as he left Taylor stepped back in.

"Em, is everything all..." She was silent the second she saw Andrew. I could only see his back but I just knew he wasn't happy at all.
"I should have known it was you" He grunted. "I don't want you near my wife anymore Taylor!" He told her. She crossed her arms giving me a warning look to keep quiet before she addressed herself to Andrew.
"You can't stop me! You are horrible Andrew. I will not let you hurt her anymore."
Andrew started laughing "Hurt her? Oh come on you know how clumsy she is. She fell down the fucking stairs."
Her jaw dropped "Hell no she didn't! Everybody can see that! The doctors will see it as soon as they see the x-rays asshole!"
Andrew was silent for a second and shrugged "No they wont" He muttered and stepped closer to Taylor. I could see the fear in her eyes but she stood her ground.
"And if you tell the anything stupid for example... I did this... I will make sure you will never see her again. Or that fucking mutt of a child."
"You can't scare me!" She hissed at him her eyes squinting and her hands clenched into fists.

Andrew laughed turning toward me again. "Maybe not" He said picking me up from the bed. "But I really don't care." He carried me like I was weightless and chuckled. "Come on baby, you don't need a doctor. I will take care of you" He carried me out of the small room leaving Taylor behind.
"Time to go home baby."
