'Money'

chapter 16 - to lose a child/what else did he do

'Money' rushes me to the hospital but i already know its too late, we've lost our child. As we get to the hospital, a nurse right away sees that something is wrong and takes me to be examined.

- Did i lose the child? i ask the nurse.

- Im so sorry... the nurse says, sincerely.

- No...no... 'Money' whimpers as warm, salty tears hits my stomach.

- Will i be able to have any more children? i ask as i stroke my husband's hair.

- It's possible, but unlikely, do you wish to know the sex of the child you lost? the nurse asks.

- No, i say.

'Money' looks at me, serious.

- Baby, if we find that you cant have any more children, then I'm going to get sterilized, he says.

- Jacob, no! i say, shocked.

- It's only fair, if you can't have anymore children, then i shouldn't have the ability anymore either, he says.

- We'll run some tests, there might still be a possibility for you to have another child, the nurse says, looking at me.

- Thank you, i say.

They runs some tests on me, the results are heartbreaking, 'Money' and i won't be able to have any more children. As we go home, we stop the car halfway, and despite what the doctor said about letting me heal, we have gentle, heartbreaking sex in the backseat of the car.

- Jacob, we shouldn't do this, Jacob, stop it, i say.

- I don't care, i don't care, i'll make you pregnant again, even if i'd have to rape you to make it happen, he roars, coming, once, twice, three times before he goes limp and has to pull out.

- No, not like this, not like this, i say, forcing him off of me.

When we're home, he lifts me up over his shoulder as he carry me in to the house.

- Put me down! No! Jacob! Put me down! I don't want to have sex with you! i say, the last words acts like a slap for him, and he puts me down at the same time as Danny, my older brother, comes out of our kitchen.

- Hi sis, trying to rape you, is he...always knew he would at least try, Danny says.

- Danny, darling brother, what are you doing here? i ask.

- Im happy to see you too, sis, my nephew called and said you and their...so called dad....was at the hospital cause you had lost your child, Danny says, turning to 'Money'. What did you do to her?

- He did nothing, Danny, i had a miscarriage, not in anyway caused by him, i say, curling up in my husbands arms.

- I don't believe that for a second and you know that, sweet sister, Danny says, ice in his voice.

- Believe what you want, but he didn't do anything to cause it...this time, i say, my voice dry as the desert.

- What did he do?! Should i kill him? Danny says.

- I can do that myself, but thanks for the offer, D, i say. And you already know what he did, and that i almost killed him for it.

Danny stares at 'Money'.

- WHAT ELSE DID YOU DO?!! he roars.

- The witch he cheated with...and who I'm proud to say i killed with my own hands, was PREGNANT with HIS child when i killed her, i say, spitting out the words.
