Colleen POV
I have been in the hospital a week now. Doesn't look like they will let me out any time soon either. I have a fever and feel terrible most days. I roll over and look out the window from my bed and see the sun rising as familiar footsteps come up behind me. "Morning babe" Josh says quietly as his hands run the back of my gown. "Morning" I say quietly not rolling over. He walks over and sits in front of me grabbing my hand. "Hi baby" he says sweetly rubbing my cheek. "Hi" I say weakly trying to smile. He strokes across my face staring at me. "Doing ok sweetheart?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders and close my eyes. I feel his lips kiss mine and I start to cry as I grab him. "Baby please don't cry" he says. "I miss you. Being home. Everything" I say hugging him. He kisses my neck. "I know babe. Soon" he says pulling back. "Breakfast?" He asks. I shrug my head no. "Colleen you need to eat" he says. "Please Josh. No lectures today" I say. I sit up and swing my legs over the side and sigh avoiding eye contact when I hear a cart come rolling into the room. "Morning guys. Just going to do an ultrasound to check the infection and cell growth" our doctor says. I nod and lay back as they roll up my gown. The doctor puts on gloves and starts scanning my stomach looking at the screen. "Baby looks good. But I don't like the tumour size. We need this baby out soon" he says. I close my eyes and breath. "Feeling ok Colleen?" The doctor asks standing beside me. "Same" I say. He starts feeling along my stomach and checks my breathing. He grabs a needle and takes some blood. I watch him mix it and ring the nurse. He mutters some new meds to her and she quickly leaves the room. "Colleen  your infection is everywhere" he says. I am in shock. "I an moving you to ICU" he says. I start to cry watching Josh cry. "Colleen now I am scared babe. We need to terminate sweetheart. Please" he begs. "Joshua please babe. Few more weeks" I say. He is upset and terrified. "Call everyone Josh" I say as they get my bed moving up to ICU. This is going from bad to worse .
