Hey guys! So as always, I am going to be adding in some "drama" this chapter and the next few ones! I may start restricting to only allow followers to read the next chapters, because I truly feel like people are just starting to read the chapters then complain that they want more in the comments ^_^ Muah xx

I was on Week 7, almost 2 months into my pregnancy. I didn't know why people would freak out about my "glowing face" and "round cheeks", but now I get it. I could see how clear my skin was getting, the frequent blemish and zit rampage gone from my face.

What the hell? It was amazing! I was starting to love my baby, even though it was as big as a grain of rice. It had a heartbeat, it was a human being.

I was barely awake at this point, all of my sleep adding up to an astonishing 12 hours of sleep per night. Plus naps, was I even human? Tal totally understood, him waiting for me to wake up everyday. I didn't have work today since it was Sunday. Work had been tough, even working 4 hours daily for me was a ton without any naps.

Picking my head up and rubbing my greasy hair back, I looked up to see Tal. "Morning, beautiful." He kissed my cheek, laying down next to me. "I am still tired, but I can't sleep all day." I huffed, sitting up and scooting to the side of the bed.

"Yes you can! You have nothing to do today." He insisted softly, rubbing my shoulders. "Yes, but I feel lazy! Plus, they said it's good to get exercise." I replied with a kiss on his lips, walking to the bathroom and getting into the shower.

After showering, I put on my jogging clothes and walked out to the kitchen. Grabbing my phone, I slipped it into my legging strap. "Don't push yourself." Tal said, kissing my cheek and going back to recording his video.

"I will, don't worry." I smiled, plugging my earbuds in. Walking to the lobby, I smiled to the old lady and walked out the door, jogging down the sidewalk towards the mall. To the mall and back was around 5 miles, perfect amount for someone who was carrying a small embryo like me. Truthfully, I wouldn't push myself too hard but I was tired of my body being annoying and making me sleepy so much!

Jogging to the mall, I was already tired from barely a mile down. Should I turn back? I didn't want to push myself. I had to do something! If I turn back, I would just have to suffer another few hours in Tal's apartment with nothing to do. Jogging towards the mall, all of a sudden, my abdomen spiked up in pain. Skidding onto my knees and clutching my stomach, I screamed.

It was all a blur, the pain was unimaginable. "Ma'am, are you okay?" Was all I could hear. I didn't even look up. "I'm pre-gnant! Pleas-Please! Call someone!" I wheezed out between winces of pain.

Before I could do anything else, it all went black.

My eyelids slowly peeled back, revealing a dimmed and low hospital bedside light. Picking my head up and rolling it forward onto the comfortable pillow, I located Tal. He was asleep in the armchair in the corner. My phone was charging on the bedside table next to me with a vase of flowers and a small teddy bear. He was so sweet.

Grabbing it, my bed creaked slowly which woke Tal. "You're awake!" He shot up, rushing over to me and grasping my hand. I weakly nodded and looked at my abdomen. "Is it-?" I questioned. Did I lose my baby?"

Tal quickly shook his head. "The baby is fine." He nodded, and the doctor walked in. "Hello, Aria." He started out, picking up the clipboard and reading off the test results to the nurse quietly in the corner.

"You were okay to jog, but the baby went under distress, probably because you were going too fast, or you couldn't supply enough oxygen to yourself or the baby." He nodded, writing on the clipboard. "At this point in your pregnancy, you haven't even started showing. But the baby has a heartbeat now, so you need to be careful of how much energy you use up." He said softly, and I nodded.

"Will it happen again?" I asked with a worried expression. I didn't want me to leave this hospital with another risk of losing my baby. Even that, the pain I went through was unimaginable. It was like someone ripping my abdomen open with knives and flinging my organs out.

"Not if you don't be careful with how much you push yourself. Make sure you eat more vegtables, and try to eat enough for two. Trust me, you shouldn't be worried about weight gain, you already have a ton of nutrients going to the baby." He cleared up my worry, making me smile softly.

"Thank you." I nodded, and he put the clipboard back into the case by the doorframe. "We would like you to stay overnight for the fluids to get into your system, and with your discharge tomorrow morning we will have a few booklets for you to take home to help you with eating, diets, and workout plans." He nodded, walking out of the hospital room and leaving Tal and I to talk.

"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't of pushed myself. I could've lost the baby, and I know it was my fault." I said emotionally. Wow, I couldn't even control my hormones at this point.

"Aria, stop. It wasn't your fault. I should've come with you or asked that you didn't go. Even with that, I am glad our baby wasn't hurt, and most of all, I am so happy you weren't hurt! It could've been so much worse and I am so thankful." He rubbed my cheek while I drifted back to sleep.

I could feel the warmth of his body next to me, and his head that lowered to right beside my body. Before long, both Tal and I had drifted off to sleep.

I am so sorry I didn't update yesterday, got caught up in stuff <3

Have fun, chao, love you guys
