Pregnant!?! (The Last Of Us Fanfic)

Hospitals and Death

Ellie POV

"I've thought about it and I want to do it," I say. Finn is staring out the window, sun shining through for what seems life the first time in weeks.

"Do what?" Finn asks, not moving.

"The abortion. If we're going to get out of here with a chance, we need to all be in the best shape," I say, taking a sip of water from my cup.

"Ellie," Finn starts.

"I'm serious, Finn. I won't be in prime shape for a while, but knocking one thing off the list would surely help-"

"No," Finn interrupts.

"No? You were the one who brought up the idea in the first place!" I raise my voice, setting down my water.

"Because this can't happen. Clara and Ron wouldn't let it happen. They'll kill you first, make me watch you die. Then they'll kill Joel cause he watched you die too. Then me and possibly the doctor cause he knows but..." Finn trails off.

"Finn, he said it was against the rules to terminate," I say.

"Yes, it is. But everything about this is complicated and against the rules. I am only supposed to be your caretaker. Clara knows that it's more than that and has kept it under wraps, but if Ron knew, we'd be dead within the hour," Finn says.

"Then...let's abort!" I say, throwing my hands in the air.

"No, we can't," Finn says.

"Why not?"

"We just, can't, Ellie!"

"Why not?!" I yell back.

"Because that child may be the future!" Finn yells, turning to me and walking towards my bed.

"It may not even have a future! We will be dead before that child is born!" I yell.

"No we won't! We are leaving!" Finn yells at me, pointing to the window.

"What makes you think we can survive out there?! Especially in this weather! In here has almost been the safest I have ever been! There's no infected and meds galore! We have a freaking cabin with electricity! You have solar panels that somehow haven't died by now! Everything here is safe!" I yell, siting up in the hospital bed.

"The community will kill us before anything else would," Finn says, walking towards me. "I know how they run. I was in the main group, we decided things and there are rules for a reason. The only reason why Clara hasn't killed us yet is because she believes in us and she wants you!" Finn says.

"Wants me?" I ask, crossing my arms.

"Yes! You're immune! Whatever is in your blood can cure us! It can prevent us from becoming those creatures!" Finn yells at me, pointing again out the window. "This child could be immune!"

"Don't you think I know that?" I say. "It could also not be,"

"There is very little chance it can't be," Finn says, walking around the room.

"No, it's 50/50 and you know that," I tell him.

"It's not a 50/50 chance! This baby has been growing in your body, with your blood and cells. Whatever makes you immune, this child will have it! It will be immune!" He says.

"You do not know that! What if I breathe in spores? I'm fine but what if this-" I point to my stomach. "isn't? The spores could turn into a killing machine and kill me from the inside. This baby could literally rip me apart from the inside," I say.
