Chapter Fifteen

(RECAP)

Dick walked over to me, kissed my forehead and said, "Wanda's right, we don't have long, and we still have a wedding to plan, between now and then. You still love me, right? You still want to marry me, huh? Oh, and soon we will know what we're having. A little boy, or a little girl, then comes the name. We, he points between me and him, have a lot of things to talk about."

"I think on that note, I'll go," Wanda grins, "You two sure do have a bunch of things to discuss, and well, it's not my business. I love you both, call if you need me." She hugged us both, then walked out the door,but not before saying, "if it's a girl, name it after, well, never mind." With that she left, slamming the door behind her.

I looked up at Dick, smiled and said, "Baby, you know I love you, want to marry you, and can't wait to find out what we're having. Why would you ask that? Are you having second thoughts or something?"

"Well...." He said, "I just don't know what I.."

Mary's POV

"You just don't know what," I ask with tears forming in my eyes, "are you having second thoughts about me, about being mates, and about being a father?"

"Mary, baby, why would you ever think I changed my mind about you," he said, his voice cracking as he speaks, "or the baby, or any of this? I meant what I said. I love you, you are my mate, and we will be together forever ever." He reached up, and caressed my cheek. "What did you think I was going to say, Mary?"

I placed my hand on his, close my eyes, and think about what I'm going to say. I know what I thought he was going to say, but should I repeat what I thought, or should I just keep it to myself. He looks so pitiful right now, with me accusing him of such an evil assumption. I say, "I'm sorry Dick, I didn't mean to upset you, I guess I just felt as if, well, I thought you were having a change of heart, and was deciding to leave. I don't know why, but that's what I thought. It was stupid, and I'm sorry I doubted you."

"Oh Mary," he laughed a little, "you are one hard headed, crazy woman. I am not going anywhere, unless," he says pausing, "you make me, and believe me when I say, you would have to kill me dead before I'd let that happen."

"Oh Dick," I grin, "I could never kill you, sweetie, but I can't promise I want argue and fight with you."

"That's okay," he says, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

We stare into each others eyes, and I can feel something, something inside me. Something's wrong, something's wrong with the... baby. It feels like my insides are getting ripped apart, like the baby is pulling, biting and ripping my insides. It hurts, it hurts really bad! I can't take the pain anymore, so I scream bloody murder... and feel myself falling.

"Mary!" Dick screams. "Mary, what's wrong?" I can hear him, but the pain is so bad that I can't answer him, not even with movement. "SHIIIIIIIT!" He screams, then he lifts me up and that when the darkness completely takes over.

DICK's POV

Holy banana's! I don't know what's going on, but one minute Mary starts screaming, not responding, then the next she's passed out. What in the hell is happening? I don't know, and I'm not taking any chances.
