Once she's in a room and settled, I sit on the side of the bed, rubbing her very bruised stomach. "Vivianne. You're a strong girl, I know that you could possibly still be alive. Please move for daddy if you are" I say, a tear rolling down my cheek, as I rub her tummy.

I feel a small little bump on my hand. "D-did she just move?" I ask. I feel something glide across the palm of my hand. "Yeah, she just kind of rolled over" She says, tears steadily falling down her cheeks.

"She moved!" I yell at a nurse that just walked in. "The baby?" She asks. I nod. "Is she still moving?" I ask Maia. She nods. "Okay, we're still going to make sure she's okay, so we'll run lots of tests and keep you for a couple days" She says. "Okay" I say, grabbing Maia's hand.

...
They only kept Maia for twenty-four hours, so we're on our way home from the hospital. Vivianne is perfectly healthy and will have no problems from what happened. I place my hand on Maia's.

She cries when we get home. "Is everything okay?" I ask, rubbing her back. "Yeah, it just feels so good being home" She says. I hug her, trying to be easy, so I don't hurt her.

"I'd like to talk to you" I say. She nods and sits down, I sit down beside her. "If you want to talk about what went on I'm here for you. But you could also get a therapist if you'd like" I say, placing my hand on her thigh. She jumps.

"I'm sorry. It's going to take a while for me to fully trust anyone again" She says, scooting away from me. "It's okay" I say, smiling. She smiles back. "I'm going to take a shower" She says quietly. I nod. "I'll start supper" I say.

Maia's POV
I don't know why, but I'm scared of everyone. I don't want anyone touching me. I get so scared when Ethan hugs me, or touches me any kind of way. I guess it's because for the past few days I've been abused and I just don't trust anyone anymore.

I want to trust Ethan, but I can't bring myself to. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding once I get in the bathroom. I decide that a bath would be better and start running my hot water.

I sink into the tub. The hot water feels nice on all of my sore places. I sit there and relax for a while, then get out and dry off.

I put my clothes on and make my way downstairs. I make my way to the kitchen to see macaroni, chicken and baked potatoes. My stomach immediately starts growling at the amazing smell. I grab a plate and get some food, then sit down and start eating.

...

We're sitting on opposite ends of the couch watching The Flash. "How're you feeling?" Ethan asks when a commercial comes on. "Sore, but the bath made me feel a little better" I say. Vivianne moves a little and it causes me so much pain. I hunch over and grab my stomach.

"Is everything okay?" Ethan says, scooting over to me. "Yeah. Vivianne's just moving" I choke out. It feels like someone's stabbing my ribs. I let out a long breath when she stops.

"I'm going to bed" I say, walking up the stairs and slowly climbing into my own bed.
