Colleen POV
I listen to Josh as he holds my face. "We are pregnant" he says. "What?" I ask crying. He nods and quickly kisses my lips. "You are carrying our baby sweetheart. Doctor told me you are 3 to 4 weeks" he says smiling. I close my eyes sobbing as I bring my hand to my belly. I look at Joshua. "Thank you baby" I say looking at him. "This time will be different " he says. I nod staring at him. I hope he is right.
The next few days in the hospital are long and slow. I am still experiencing headaches and I refuse to take anything for them. Today Josh and I are walking around the hallway slowly with linked arms. I can barely see as my headache is so bad but I don't want to let on to Josh how bad it really is. "Colleen, there are meds that you can take that are baby safe sweetheart. I don't want to see you struggle in pain" he says stopping me. "I know I don't need them though hon" I say lying. We shuffle back to the room slowly as I crawl in to bed. His eyes are watching my every move. I slightly smile up to him. "I hate when you lie to me Colleen " he says sympathetically. He runs his thumb on my cheek. He knows I'm struggling. I start to cry holding onto his hand. He starts to take off his shoes and lays beside me. "Why are you so stubborn?" he asks. "I am not taking this baby for granted. I refuse to throw any possible harm towards it" I say looking into those eyes. He nods and leans into kiss my lips. I kiss him back holding onto his cheek. I pull back from the kiss a few moments later and snuggle into his shoulder as his arms wrap around me gently. "Just snuggle me" I ask him. "Anything for you baby" he says. He always knows how to comfort me.
A few days later they released me from the hospital. My head feels way better than it did before. However my hand and ribs are still mending. We drive back to a hotel together in the car in silence. I refuse to go back to the apartment where the attack happened. I heard Josh on the phone earlier with the police as they want to take my statement now that I'm out of hospital and before I fly back home. "Joshua when are the police coming by to take my statement?" I ask him. He looks at me as we pull into the lot. "I told them that you need a few more days to heal. They can wait for your statement" he says coldly. He hops out of the car and quickly runs to my side opening the door for me. He grabs for my hand and slowly lifts me up and we walk towards the hotel. We walk through the front door and to our room on the main floor. "What can I get you baby? "Josh asks while rubbing my back. "I have a craving" I say smiling at him. "Anything sweetheart what is it?" He asks. "Chocolate. Lots of chocolate" I say smiling at him. "That's not a craving baby. That's normal" Josh says laughing hugging me gently. I smile and squeeze him as hard as I can.I love him so much.
