Bianca would never get tired of waking up to the of smell bacon. She smiled as she walked into the kitchen where Enrique was cooking away.

"Good morning sweetheart" he said as he walked towards her "Morning" she said weakly .

He examined her face, she was so pale "Are you okay?" He asked.

He picked her up and sat her down on the island "I just have a little headache" she said "Bianca you look pale,  I'll call my parents and tell them we can't make it to their party" he said, his voice dripped with worry.

"Enrique I'm fine, I probably just need sleep thanks to you, you stud!" He smiled at her weak attempt of a joke.

"we probably shouldn't have gone for 4 rounds, come eat" he said. He helped her down and motioned for her to go sit.

Bianca smiled as she tried to eat everything on her plate but she just couldn't. 

Her stomach was not at ease. "I'm stuffed" she said while pushing the plate away "You barely ate" he pointed out. She stood up and kissed him "Thanks for the food honey, I'm going to sleep". She said quickly walking  away.

Going to a party while you were sick was probably not the best thing to do. She tried her best to converse with all the guests that approached them, but she felt so aggravated.

People kept bumping into her and to make  matters worse it was so hot.

"Lets gather around for a toast" her future mother in-law announced. All the waiters served the guests glasses of champagne.

"Bring her an orange juice" she heard Enrique tell the waiter, he bowed and returned in less than 2 minutes, "Thank you" she said politely.

After the speech she took a drink from her glass almost finishing it in one gulp. "Hello dear"  Enrique's mom greeted "How are you?" His father asked.

She smiled as she was about to reply but all that came out was a groan of pain. She squeezed Enrique's arm as the glass slipped from her fingers. Her head felt woozy and her eyesight got blurry before everything went black.

Enrique caught her as she fainted, his heart jumped "Someone dial 911" he roared.
He cradled her frail frame into his chest "Wake up sweetheart, please " he said desperately. His heart beat frantically against his ribcage thinking the worst. 

"The is all my fault I should've forced her to stay home" he said angrily "Son it's alright, I know how stubborn my daughter can be "his future father in-law said "Where's the damn ambulance?" He shouted "their on their my way" his mother said.  

When they arrived at the hospital, he did not leave her side. When the nurses asked him to step out he almost fought them, he would not leave her side when she needed him the most!

He held her hand as the doctor took tests on her. When the doctor left he broke down. "Please open your eyes sweetheart" he kissed her hand "I want to see your beautiful eyes again".

The doctor returned after 30 minutes. He did not like the look on his face at all. "Whats wrong doctor?" He asked worriedly.

"We found some poison in her system " the doctor said, his entire body went rigid 'poison ' he thought.

Someone had tried to harm her! His blood ran cold.  "Luckily she came in time, we were able to pump out all the poison and save her and the baby" doctor Rodgers finished.
