Elijah...
Another tear rolls down my cheek as stroke Analia's. Her soft snores flow through my ears as we lay in the dark. The only light in the room came from the cracked blinds that allowed the bluish moonlight to seep through.
"I'm sorry..." I whisper to her once more before kissing her forehead. I let lips linger there for a moment as I let my eyes close. My heart felt like someone's hand was wrapped around it and they were squeezing tight. The thought of my child dying killed me. My seed wasn't able to survive and I felt as if I could only blame myself. She'd told me that she couldn't go through with having a baby and her, over and over again, I failed to use protection. A small whimper leaves her lips, pulling me from my thoughts and I pull back to look down at her. Her nose scrunched up a bit for a moment before her face goes back to being relaxed. I let a sigh pass my lips before I disappear under the blanket. I rest my head on her bare stomach before letting my eyes close. A few minutes pass by and suddenly her hand rests on top of my curls. My arms wrap tightly around her slim waist before I feel myself begin to doze off. "I love you..." I whisper aging her skin before kissing it lightly. Before I know it I'm in a deep sleep.
...
Patting around the bed, I furrow my brows when I don't feel her body next to me. I allow my eyes to pop open and glance around the room. My eyes shoot towards the bathroom door. The light was on, telling me she was in there so I sit up. I stretch for a moment before pulling myself out of the bed. My feet hit the soft plush white carpet as I make my way toward the bathroom. I wrap my hand around the door handle before pushing the door open. Steam flows into my face as I step through the door, closing it behind me.
"Ana baby?" I question when I don't see the outline of her body through the glass. When I find get a response my stomach starts to turn. Slowly I step towards the shower and swallow the lump in my throat. When I get close, the metallic scent of blood hits my nose and my eyes widen. I quickly slam the door open to reveal her naked body on the shower floor. She was falling in and out of consciousness as blood leaked from between her legs. "Fuck!" I shout before reaching down to pull her out. Water soaks my shirt as my arms wrap around her and I lift her up. I go into complete panic mode as I run from the bathroom. I place her limp body on the bed before scrambling for something to put on her. After grabbing a pair of my sweat pants and one of my t-shirts, I quickly slip them on her before picking her body back up. As I hold her up I slip my shoes on and snatch my keys off of the hook. "Please be okay..." I whisper as I open the front door. I don't take the time to lock up the house before sprinting over to my car. After yanking the back door open I gently lay her down before getting in the front.
I swerve in and out of lanes as I drive on the highway. Various people honked and shouted things at me but I could care less. In less than ten minutes I'm pulling up to the hospital. I park the car in front of the entrance before slipping out. I gather her up before making my way inside. A few gasps are heard as I travel over to the check in desk.
"I need help... she's-she's bleeding really bad." I cry, I hadn't even noticed tears were streaming down my face. The lady behind the desk glances over at Analia before nodding frantically. She gets on her phone and quickly says something into it. In seconds a few nurses rush through the large double doors with a stretcher. I allow them to take her from me and they rush her towards the back. "Is she going to be okay?" I sniffle, asking anybody around me. Many waiting patients frown at my state and shrug their shoulders. I break down in loud sobs as I make my way over to one of the seats. I drop my head in my hands and continue to cry, eventually tiring myself out.
...
"Mr. Brown? You can come back to see her now. She's awake now she'll just be in a lot of pain and seems to have a horrible migraine. Just be mindful of how much noise you make and how you touch her." Her doctor says and I nod at her. I pull myself up from the chair before following behind her to Analia's room. "Here we are..." She says softly before giving me a light smile. I let out a shaky sigh and she rubs my arm, making me look down at her. "She's alright..." She says and I nod before pushing the door open. Ana sits, her eyes on the TV. When she hears the door shut her eyes glide over to me. Her beautiful smile finds her lips and I give her one back.
"Hey..." I say softly and she giggles lightly.
"Hi Eli..." Her light voice responds and I move closer to her.
"You scared me..." I whisper as I bend down and place my lips lightly against hers.
"I'm sorry..." She whispers back and I grab her face softly in my hands.
"It's not your fault... did they tell you what was wrong yet?" I question and she shakes her head. I hear her door open again and pull away before looking behind me. Her doctor steps in with her clip board and I knew this would be the moment everything was revealed.
"I have to ask out of respect and policy, do you want him to know what's going on?" She asks Ana and I look back at her. Analia nods her head and I grasp her hand in my own as I take a seat next to her. "Alright..." She sighs softly before looking down at her board. "As you two know she was bleeding a ton from her vaginal area... this was caused because you have a baby growing outside of your uterus... this condition is called ectopic pregnancy. It's rare that the baby survives but if you want to try and go through with the pregnancy you can. It's up to the parents to decide that decision. Personally I wouldn't recommend it because like I said, it's rare that the baby survives." She reveals and I look at Analia once more.
"What do you want to do?" She asks me softly and I rub my thumb over the top of her hand.
"Baby that's entirely up to you. It's your body I can't tell you what to do with it." I say and she swipes her hair from her face with a shaky hand.
"I want to keep it..." She whispers and I bite my lip to conceal a smile. I press her hand to my lips and let out a sigh.
"Alright... I'll be back to tell you about precautions you should take and all that good stuff... I wish you two the best of luck." She says sincerely before exiting the room. We sit on a comfortable silence as I reach my hand over and rub her stomach.
"You love kids don't you?" She giggles and I smile up at her.
"I do... and I love the fact that I have something to really call mine... like you." I say and she giggles once more. Once again silence runs over us and I lay my head in her lap.
"Hey Eli?" She calls out sweetly and I glance up at her.
"Yeah baby?" I ask softly and she gives me another smile as her hand comes form to stroke my cheek.
"I love you too."
