Winter's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep

{Chapter Twenty Nine} I shifted my head slowly side to side before I blinked my eyes open and stared at the ceiling. I looked at my hand to see that the gray veins turned back into their normal color and I sighed in relief. "I'm glad you're awake. It wasn't the welcome I expected. You scared me." Khalid took my hand in his and rubbed it soothingly as he stared into my eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Is everything okay with the baby? Ah! Why? It hurts."I moaned again as I cringed to the side and curled up my body in a fetal position. I clutched at my stomach like my life depended on it, the shooting pains that were running through my whole body was making me tremble.

"I called your parents, they should be here any second. I'm sorry. This is all my fault." I looked up at that at him in confusion and pain. "The baby is cursed, and the reason why your veins are turning gray is because the baby is drinking from your blood."

I leaned down the bed, the back of my hand in front of my forehead as I closed my eyes with a shook of a head. My shoulders moved roughly as sobs escaped from my lips and I pressed my lips together, molding them as I moved them back and forth.

"I know what you're thinking, I can't. Don't tell me to give up on my baby because I can't." I choked up between tears as my chest moved up and down from my agitated state, my head moving side to side.

"There is no other way, these pains that you're having will only turn worse with the days. I can't sit back and watch you spent your whole pregnancy in pain." Khalid told me as he took my hand in his and touched my face.

I closed my eyes as the tears streamed down my face. "I'm sorry." I said with a shook of a head as I sniffed. "But I can't. I just can't." I opened my eyes and the tears slipped from my lashes, running down my cheek.

"Do you think that this is a game? Do you think that I want you to abort our baby? I don't, but I won't allow myself to lose you both. Your pregnancy was a risk because of your heart problems, now with this in the mix is a lot. Do you think that your body can handle it? It can't, the grey veins are the prove of it. What will be happening next? Heart pains? Blackouts?"

I put my hands on my ears as I shook my head repeatedly as I sobbed. "Stop, just stop. Ay." I turned around and cupped my stomach, my knees moving up under my stomach as I cringed from the pain shooting through my body.

"Why can't you see that this is causing you pain? How long do you think that you can keep supporting the pain? This will be ten times stronger, your pains will stay day and night, your bones are going to start cracking. Do you want that? Do you really think I deserve watching you go through this?"

He kept saying hurt and I couldn't help but feeling worse than I already felt, the pain wasn't helping either. "I'm sorry that you have to go through this but I want you to be here, I can't do this alone. It's our baby, we made it. I just can't get rid of it." I leaned my head down and closed my eyes with a sniff, my body shaking.

"I don't want you to get rid of it either but with the circumstances, I....this is harder for me than you think. I can hear every single thing she's doing with you and it kills me. As much as I want to control myself my body just itches to...."

"If you want to keep this baby I don't think that I can stay and watch." I felt Khalid's presence behind me, he hesitated for a few moments before I heard the door closing behind me. I blinked my eyes open as a loud sob escaped my mouth, my hand flying toward my mouth to hide them.

I cried to myself in these four wall room, the pain was thick in the air mixed with the sadness. Everything is going to be alright. My body trembled from the sobs that escaped my mouth and cringed at the same time from the pain shooting through my system, hitting me right in the stomach.
