37: Waking Up

Lynn's P.O.V. 

I wake up feeling groggy. I feel someone's warm hand in mine and I hear snoring. I look to the side to see who is there. I see Grayson sitting in a chair, bent over with his head on the bed, holding my hand, sleeping. I smile at him even though he can't see it. 

"You're awake," I hear Ethan's voice say. I look around the room and see his sitting on the floor in a dark corner. 

I speak, "Why are you in the corner?" 

"My phone died and I was talking to Monica telling her about the baby and what happened," he says. 

I obviously know that I am in the hospital, I remember Ethan talking to me in the back of their truck and hearing Grayson freak out. I don't remember much after Ethan set me down on something soft because I fell asleep. I remember being in a lot of pain that it finally just was so painful, it numbed. 

"Why am I here? What baby?" I ask. 

"I should get the doctor and you should wake Grayson up," he says standing up and walks out of the room. 

I stare at Grayson. I gently shake his hand that lays in mine "Grayson, babe. Wake up," I say softly. He groans and lifts his head. When he opens his eye, he seems to wake up and remember where he is. 

"Hey! How are you feeling?" he asks gripping my hand a little tighter. 

"I feel really good. I don't feel sick that much like I did before. So what is going on? I asked Ethan and he said he was going to get the doctor. Grayson's face dropped. 

"I think the doctor should tell you," he says looking down.

Ethan and a man in his 30's walk in and they all look at me. The doctor speaks, "I'm glad to see you are awake. How are you feeling?" he asks. 

"Better than I did before I came here," I say.

He chuckles and says, "So, Lynn, are you experiencing any pain and could you give me a number between 1-10? 1 being not much or very little and 10 being in terrible pain."

"I would say a 0 or a 1," I say. It is true. I feel normal. "I feel a little dizzy but that is about it."

"That is normal. We stopped giving you pain medication about 7 hours ago so if you would have had any pain you would feel it. Dizziness is normal after the medication we gave you," he says. He looks over my chart and writes down some notes. 

He looks up after about a minute of silence and adds, "If you have any questions, I would be glad to answer them." 

"Why am I here? Like, what happened to me?" I ask. 

He sighs, "Well, we did some test. We figured out that you were pregnant. 3 weeks, in fact. We did some more tests and found traces of a drug. The slang name of that drug is one very well known. It is called the date rape drug. Can you remember anytime that you could have consumed this? Any time you felt very happy, tired, and weak?" 

"Yeah. I--uh--I was raped about a week ago by my ex and he put something in my drink. I felt exactly what you just said so yes," I say timidly. 

"Well, you were already pregnant at this time when you consumed the drug so when you consumed it the drug slowly killed the baby. The reason you were bleeding was because you had a miscarriage. I am so sorry," he says. 

I gripped Grayson's hand tighter and gasped. The baby was Grayson's and it died because of Kyce. I can't do anything about it. I tell myself that me and Grayson weren't ready to have a kid anyway. We couldn't have given it the support it needed. But we could have given it love. No, stop. We couldn't have. Stop, Lynn, stop. We weren't ready, we weren't ready, we weren't ready.

"It looks like you are ready to go home, though. I will grab the papers for you to sign and then you can leave. I wish you all well," the doctor says. 

I realize this is short but I am going to add that I also have 3 papers to write. One of them had to be AT LEAST ten pages and the other two have to be about 5 sooooooo.
