Taken By You

Chapter 16

Stevie POV

I wake up to a shadow looking over me. Pain shoots through my stomach and ribs like a bullet. I hold me stomach and moan out in pain. The shadow reaches their hand out, and I desperately grab it. As I get pulled out of the kitchen corner, the figure becomes lightened. Caroline stands before me, her face morphed with terror. I moan loudly as I attempt to stand up, but my knees collapse under me. I let out a sob and clutch my burning sides. Caroline runs away from me and returns with a phone in her hand. She frantically punches in numbers while I cradle my stomach and hold in the sobs that are threatening to come out. The pain throbs all around, almost numbing my breath. Time seems to slow down, while my entire life flashes before my eyes. A while later, a man picks me up. He wears a funny suit, and I giggle out loud. The man and some of his funny-suited friends load me into the back of a truck and sirens go off. I hallucinate images of the funny men riding unicorns and bouncing on trampolines. I get taken out of the truck and placed in a hospital bed. The men (and now women) push me into a room. They run around frantically searching for things. Someone rubs a cool liquid on my stomach and another sticks an IV into my vein.

"Ow! Why'd you do that?" I shout at a nurse. She doesn't stop to talk but keeps pouring something into the bag that's connected to me. I breathe deeply before falling asleep once more.

I wake up to find Caroline holding my hand. She's looking off in the distance, her eyes swollen and red. She notices me stirring and jerks her attention to me.

"OMG Stevie! What happened? How do you feel? Do you need anything? OMG WHAT HAPPENED?!" She shouts at me, tears leaking down her face.

She pushes a button on the wall and sits down, her shaky hands in mine.

"You scared the hell out of me Stevie." She shakily says in between sobs.

I feel numb. I just stare at her blankly before a man in a white coat walks in.

"Good afternoon Stevie, I'm Doctor Lokely. How are you feeling?" He asks, shaking my hand.

"I don't feel anything, to be honest." I state, staring a his dark blue eyes. "How long was I sitting there?" My voice breaks and tears start falling.

"We estimate it's been about a day and a half, due to the swelling of your wounds. You have a broken rib, two fractured ribs, and many bruises. I assume you knew you were pregnant?" He asks.

I nod my head gently.

"well", he starts, sitting next to me. He grabs my hand with both of his. "One child did not make it."

I let out a shriek and squeeze my hand in his. Jack got what he wanted, my baby's dead.

"But the other survived. I don't predict any birth defects, but we won't know until she's born."

Did he just say the other? And she?

I let go of his hand and clutch my stomach, which is filled with brand new life.

Oh snap.

What's going to happen? I think one chapter a day is enough for now. I predict about 20-25 chapters c:
