The Truth Behind The Lies

"Explain to me how she pregnant again"

Winter hears as her eyes slowly open seeing Pryde sitting at her bedside talking to some doctor.

The smile that was slowly firming on her face disappears as she look at the facial expression Pryde has. He was so focused on the doctor he didn't realize she was awake.

Winter takes deep steady breaths to keep her heart monitor at a steady paste so their attention isn't drawn to her.

"Look Mr. Cross it is possible that while you and Winter were being intimate that some semen might have gotten out most of the time the male is unaware because it is pre- cum semen" Dr. Taylor explains to Pryde for the third time hoping he would understand. Never in a million years has he had to explain this type of thing more than twice.

"Why did she pass out?" Pryde then ask with a blank expression as he cover his face.

"It was her body's way of reacting to the changes and she was weak, her blood pressure and her sugar had got really low after vomiting so much" Dr. Taylor explains as he looks at the paper on his clipboard.

"How far along is she?" Pryde question removing his hands from his face.

"Almost a week" Dr. Taylor replies with a smile that disappears when Pryde starts to mean mug him.

"Excuse me for a moment, this is some bullshit dog" Pryde says pushing the doctor out of his path before leaving the room.

Winter eyes start to water as she cover her face with her hands as she silently cries.

"Ms. Cross- "

"It's Winter Hall" Winter corrects as she wipe her eyes.

Dr. Taylor smiles as he sits his clipboard at the foot of Winter's bed before sitting in the chair beside her bed and pulling out a photo from his white coat pocket and handing it to Winter to look at.

It was a picture of Dr. Taylor's family. His beautiful wife and daughter.

"Look, I can see that Mr. Cross is not to happy right now but I believe that he will grow to love the idea of you having his baby, sometimes it's normal for new fathers to feel the way he does right now, I felt the same exact way about my wife having a baby, I was most afraid of not being ready to be a father more than anything but, from the moment I held my daughter those thoughts disappeared and the only thoughts I had was how to keep her and her mother safe and happy" Dr. Taylor tells her as she stare at the photo.

"Pryde's not like you.." Winter admits softly looking over at Dr. Taylor.

"He might be more like me then you think Ms. Hall, but if your hungry I'll have one of the nurses bring you something to eat, the remote is right by your hand so feel free to watch whatever you want, and get some rest you will be able to leave tomorrow afternoon so please have a ride ready" Dr. Taylor explains to Winter in a calm and smoothing tone as Winter hands him his photo before he stands from his chair grabbing his clipboard and leave seconds later.

As Dr. Taylor walks out Camrelea, Edna and Parissa walk in with Chinese food.

"Hey love" they all say in union before each running over hugging her.

"Hey you guys" Winter replies back with a weak smile.

"Winter why you look so down? And what the hell happened for you to end up in the hospital girl! I had to reschedule my dick appointment to come check on my best friend" Camrelea admits sitting in the bed with Winter as everyone laughs.
