Inhumane

Chapter 16

"Yup you can definitely hear it's heartbeat. Even though your almost two weeks in this child is in a stage of eight weeks if this was a normal pregnancy. It's growing faster than we expected. " Donovan says as he takes off his stethoscope and I pull my shirt down.

This is just simply impossible. Just what could this mean?

"What is this suppose to mean? " I ask worried

"Well it's already showing that its growth can accelerate quickly. It's probably going to show more over of its abilities over time. Maddie I think it's a bit dangerous for you to stay alone and I'm not saying that because you almost got robbed tonight but because of this pregnancy. You need to stay close by us in case anything happens. For you're safety. " Fred says seriously.

I frown. What he's saying is right. Since Karen and Frank aren't home and I also won't be going to school for a while I'll be alone and if something bad happens to me it would probably be too late for me to call for help.

"Alright then. " I say quietly

"I'm glad you understand, I think its best if you go to bed now. Nora already prepared your temporary room. We'll be off and probably be back in the morning. If anything happens call us. Donovan says and Fred him walk out the door.

I look at Segi who was standing in the corner the whole time looking a bit concerned.

"What is it? " I ask

"Something just doesn't feel right about the child you are carrying. " he replies quickly.

"What do you mean? " I ask worried

Is there something wrong with my baby?

"My hearing can hear the sound of people's heartbeat. It's usually always has the same rhythm, some are slow, some are quick, but the kid's sounds...odd. "

Odd?

"What do you mean by that? " I ask

"I've never heard anything like it before. It's the most peculiar sound I've heard in my life. " he says quietly.

Should I be worried about this? I know my baby might be abnormal and all but having a weird heart beat would be normal in the situation right?

"I don't know what to think about this..." I say quietly and look down at my belly.

Segi walks up to me and pats my forehead and I assume he was going for my head.

"Sorry didn't mean to worry you love, the kid is going to be fine." He says reassuringly.

"I hope so.. " I say quietly.

"Well off to bed with you now! I'm pretty sure you must be tired. " he says

Actually I'm more hungry than tired, I slept for mostly half of the day and all I had was sandwiches.

"I'm actually a bit hungry, I don't think I can sleep in a empty stomach. " I groan

"Then let's go downstairs then and get you all fed up. " Segi says and we both head downstairs to the kitchen and switch the lights on and I head towards the refrigerator.
It was filled with delicious looking food and I started drooling at the glorious sight.

"Me and the little bastard don't really eat much of this stuff, so you can take as much as you want. " Segi says and sits on the counter and picks on his nails.

There's a big left over piece of ham in the fridge and I grab it and gobble it up in seconds.

Everything tastes so good when you're hungry!
