Does He Really Love Me? [E.D]

4.8

"Okay, so let me give you your epidural." The nurse says, as I sit up, and scoot to the edge of the hospital bed.
Ethan crouches down in front of me, and holds my hand, as the nurse cleans my back. "Just squeeze his hands hard when it hurts. I'm sure he'll be able to take it." The nurse says jokingly, but I don't laugh. How could I laugh? I'm about to go in for a C-section for my dead child. I'm about to give birth to a little girl thats barely the size of my hand.
"Babe." Ethan whispers, and I open my eyes. I didn't even know I had them closed.
"Yes?" I whisper back, as the nurse taps my lower spine.
"I love you."He says, and I give his hand a quick squeeze as I smile. 
"I love you too." I say.
"Okay, one, two, three." The nurse says, and I feel the needle go inside of me, and I squeeze Ethan's hand tightly.
"Oh damn, you squeeze hard." He says, as he furrows his brows together, and clenches his teeth.
I chuckle, and the pain goes away. 
"Okay, and done." She says, as she helps me lay back down. "I'll be back in about twenty minutes with the doctor to take you to the operation room." She says, as she cleans her hands, and leaves.

Ethan was sleeping on the couch. He looked so peaceful. As I tried to close my eyes, and sleep, there was a light knock at the door. I looked over, and the doctor came in, and sat next to my bed.
"Is something wrong?" I ask, as my heart starts to race.
He shakes his head, but he still has the same sad and tired expression on his face. "I need you to fill this out for your child, Ms. Winters." He says, and I take the clipboard and pen from him.
I look down, and scan the paper before I start. The title read 'Birth Certificate.'
"Why do I have to fill this out? She's already dead." I say a little too loudly, and Ethan's eyes flutter open.
He blinks a few times, before he gets up to see what's wrong. I hand him the paper, and he looks over it slowly.
"You have to fill it out, because its the law. I'm sorry." He says, but he didn't look very sorry now. He just looked annoyed.
"You're not sorry! Your just saying that, because you have to be nice. If you weren't nice, it would greatly affect your salary." I say, as I give him a disgusted look.
"Sky." Ethan says, as he puts his hand on my shoulder to try to calm me.
"Don't fucking touch me." I say, as I shove Ethan away. "You guys don't understand all the pain I'm going through. You're just doing what you have to do to get me out of this hell hole, while I'm here grieving not only the loss of my unborn child, but being raped." My jaw clenches, and I try to calm myself down.
I can't do this anymore! I'm done. I'm done.

I stare at the white ceiling above me, and I shiver a little bit, because it's freezing in here. I rub my arms, as I desperately try to get them warm. Ethan and I ended up filling out the certificate, but I cried the whole time. My parents also talked to me about getting counseling with Ethan after the C-Section.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." The nurse says, as she starts to set up a curtain in front of my face, so I couldn't see my stomach.
Just as I was about to reply Ethan comes in, and sits next to me. He sadly smiles, as he moves a strand of my hair out of my face. "I'm sorry." I mumble. "For acting the way I did earlier."
He shakes his head, and his hair shakes with it. "I totally understand. I know you're sad, but I am too. I just need you to talk to me about it, so we can heal together." Ethan says, as he caresses my cheek.
"Okay." I whisper, as I close my eyes.
"And Kaelin is in custody, right now." He says, and I open my eyes.
"He is? Since when?" I ask, as more nurses and a doctor comes in.
"You ready to get started?" The doctor asks, as he adjusts the gloves on his hands.
"Yes." I say, as I keep my eyes on Ethan's.
"I'll talk to you about it later." He whispers in my ear, and I nod my head.
I feel a little pressure, and I wince.
"Are you in pain?" Ethan asks worriedly, as he stands up to look over the curtain, and he immediately sits down, his face pale.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
He nods his head, and I try to smile, but it feels foreign.

"Sky." I hear someone say, and I try to open my eyes, but I'm too tired, so I keep them closed. "Sky!" Someone says a little louder, so I force myself to open my eyes.
It's Ethan.
"Hmm?" I ask, as I rub my eyes, and look at him.
"It's about Kaelin." He says, and my stomach turn at the sound of his name.
"What about him?" I ask, as I try to sit up, but an menace amount of pain shoots into my stomach.
"Your attorney needs you to testify against him." Ethan whispers.
"What? When?" I ask.
My mind is all over the place right now.
"Tomorrow."
"But I can't leave the hospital! I just got a C-Section." I say, as I look at the clock. It's twelve a.m.
"I know. They're coming here. They're going to record you saying your testimony, and they will use it in court to put Kaelin in jail." Ethan says, as he laces his fingers through mine.
I nod my head, and wave Ethan to come closer. He inches forward, so his face is only centimeters from mine. I place my hand on his shoulder, and pull him closer, as my other hand caresses his face.
"I missed this." I say, as I pull him in too kiss me. 
He carefully places his hand on arm, as he kisses me back. It feels like we haven't done this in months, but its only been three days. 
Oh my god! It's Monday night!
I pull away, and Ethan looks hurt.
"Did I d-."
"It's Monday! I had school today! Oh my god." I say frantically, as I try to reach for my phone.
"Babe, calm down, and keep it down. Grayson and Julia are sleeping." Ethan whispers, as he keeps his hand on my arm.
"What? Where?" I ask, as I raise a brow, and Ethan juts his chin out to point across the room.
There by the window, was Grayson and Julia sleeping on the couch. Grayson's arm lazily wrapped around Julia's waist, and Julia had her hand over Grayson's.
"Woah." I say in shock, and in that moment everything that's happened is out of my mind. "How long have they been like that?" I ask, as I look back to Ethan.
"I have no clue. I fell asleep before they did." Ethan says, as he stares at them.
