Traitor (Renji Yomo x Reader) [Continued in a second book!]

Your Future

I was engulfed in absolute darkness. No dream, no nightmare, no voices, no thoughts - simply nothing. That was until I felt something cold being smeared across my skin followed by slight pressure on my stomach. It immediately brought me back to what was going on. The fight, the attack, the pain - our baby. That's when my eyes snapped open in panic.

"Is my.. Is my baby.. Is it alive.. ?!" I shouted as I wanted to put my hands on my stomach but my arms were being held down.

I impulsively wanted to sit up but was being held back as well, that's when the slight pressure on my belly returned.

"Sssh, calm down" Chigyou mumbled as he scanned my stomach.

Glancing down at it, I realized that he was already on it, that the cold substance I felt must've been the gel. However, that did not stop my panic. I couldn't lose this baby.

"Is it okay?!" I repeated, not being able to hold myself back.

"Don't move, it's tiny in this state and the more you move, the more difficult it gets to get a clearer picture" Chigyou explained calmly, his forehead showing various wrinkles.

My breathing was quick and my heart was racing. At least the sharp pain was gone. For the time being, I even forgot about my broken wrist. All I cared about was knowing if my baby was fine - and then Renji.. Then me. One of the nurses started gently rubbing my arm, as if she suspected the worst.. Or perhaps even got it confirmed. I watched their expressions, tried to read anything out of them, any little detail that would give me a hint. But so far, none of them seemed positive at all.

Why are they so quiet..

"You might have to give her something to calm down, she's too shaken up" Chigyou replied as he glanced over at me, once more wearing his worried expression.

The fear in me constantly rose.

"No.. Please just tell me what you see..!"

Even the monitor was blocked from me, I was not allowed to see what they saw. All signs pointed to a miscarriage. Which was something I didn't know if I could handle it. Dreadful moments of silence followed. Sometimes Chigyou applied more pressure before pressing a few buttons on the machine in front of him. That was also when I began to realize that I was in a casual hospital room and hooked onto various machines that were monitoring my heartbeat and other critical stuff. As I glanced around the room, desperately looking for an object reflecting the monitor Chigyou was staring at, I realized that Renji was laying on a bed beside me. He was completely knocked out or.. Sleeping. His arms and legs were tied to the bed, which worried me but also made sense since he hurt a lot of people before. At least his heartbeat was okay.. That was a relief.

"It's growing faster than a human. This little bean is bigger than a human baby.. Very interesting. The development seems to be faster, too. Compa-" Chigyou began.

"Does that mean it's alive?!" I interrupted him.
