Freefall (Kakashi HatakeXOC Part1)

A Horrible Realization

"Are you still feeling sick?" Kakashi asks as he hands me a glass of water.

He sits to my right on the couch and I nod,

"My lower back has started hurting as well, and my head is killing me."

I drink some water as he replies,

"It's probably just from that virus Amaya said you have, it will probably pass with the other things you're feeling."

"What if...if it's something more than just a virus?" I question, my voice wavering in the process.

I've been thinking about it, and it wouldn't be crazy to have thoughts about it being worse than what we knew. It was kind of scaring me actually, I don't want anything to happen to my child so early.

"It won't be worse," Kakashi replies quietly,

"Just relax, everything will be fine."

Kakashi had decided to take me out on a walk, he said the fresh air might help me feel better. It wasn't really doing much though. In fact, I was starting to feel worse.

My lower back had been hurting more than earlier, and that aching feeling had spread over my abdomen. I placed a hand over my rounded stomach, I really hope this will all just pass and everything will go back to normal.

But I couldn't have gotten my wish, because the next thing I knew, I was hunched over with both my hands on my stomach. Kakashi was at my side in an instant, he asks worridly,

"What's the matter?"

"I-It's hurts," I replied shakily,

"Kakashi...I'm scared."

He places one hand on my back and his other was under my legs as he picks me up bridal style, I keep my hands on my stomach as he says,

"You're going to be fine, we're going to the hospital right now."

No ones' POV

It had been about four hours since Kakashi brought Keira in to the hospital, and nothing has been going well. According to Amaya, there actually was something else wrong with her, but they didn't see it until it was too late.

Keira was lying on one of the hospital beds with her tail draped over herself, and tear stained cheeks. She had the blanket pulled up almost all the way over her head, and she was hugging a pillow tightly.

She and Kakashi had been told once she got examined, that Keira had had a miscarriage. That their baby didn't survive, but they couldn't find the cause for it. Keira was healthy, a bit underweight for someone of her size, but otherwise there had been nothing wrong with her health.

Kakashi was out talking to the medical nin in an attempt to figure out the cause, while they placed Keira in a recovery room to cope with her loss. She hadn't moved from that spot since they put her there, and she hasn't responded to anyone that tried to interact with her. They've been trying to give her medication as well, but she would refuse to take it and lash out at anyone that tried to touch her, even Kakashi.

Which is why they decided to let her be for a while, at least until she wouldn't refuse to listen to them. It would be a long time though, they all knew that.

Keira closes her eyes as she hears the door to her room slide open, then closed. There was at least three pairs of footsteps on the wooden floor, and by the sound of it, they were trying to be quiet.
