My whole world is better now that he's here beside me finally on the road to recovery. I rub my stomach and sigh happily. I see him wake up, so I lay back down beside him. "Sleep well, Nath?"

"Mmhmm," He sits up and kisses my cheek. "Very well."

"Good. So what do you want to d-" I clutch my stomach in pain then look down and see blood. "Nath..."

"Wh-what's wrong? What's happening, Lucy?" He stands up quickly and gives me a worried look. "My stomach hurts Nath. I-I need to go to the hospital."

"Let's go," He puts an arm around me and helps me down to the car. He speeds to the hospital, being careful of traffic and everything else on the way. We run into the ER and tell them what happened.

A few hours later I wake up in a hospital bed and see Nathan asleep in the chair. I'm afraid to look down at all. I know what happened. Why did this happen to me? What did I ever do wrong?

I don't deserve this. No one ever deserves this. Maybe I do because I lied to him. The baby wasn't his. It was someone else's. No, I didn't cheat on him. I would never do that to him or anyone. I'm not that kind of person.

"Nath..."

"Yeah, Lulu?" He rubs his eyes and looks over at me. I sigh heavily and sit up on the bed. "There's something I need to tell you about the baby."

"What about it? What do you need to tell me?"

"Th-the baby wasn't yours..." I hear my voice crack as I begin to cry.

"What? What do you mean the baby wasn't mine? Did you cheat on me?" He stands up quickly and balls his fists up.

"No! I would never cheat on you. I'll tell you what happened. Please just calm down before you do something you'll regret," I put my hands out in front of me and scoot back from him. He backs up and sits back down next to me. "Then what happened?"

"I was attacked when I was walking home from work. It was a while ago. You all were presently doing some radio interviews."

"When were you going to tell me?"

"Soon. I swear. I was just really scared that-" I look down and feel my eyes water up.

"That what? That I'd beat you again?" I feel tears rush down my cheeks, so I quickly cover my face and look away from him.

"The only person I would have beaten is the asshole that raped you!" He punches the wall beside the bed, leaving a gaping hole through it almost into the next room.
