Pregnant!?! (The Last Of Us Fanfic)

Testing and Training

Ellie POV

Warmth covers my face as I roll over to the other side of the bed, yawning away the tiredness from the previous day. My tummy feels a little nauseous, but not enough for me to hold my head in the toilet for hours. Water and food should help once I shower.

I lay my arm behind me, feeling for Finn...who isn't there.

"Damn you, Finn," I say half laughing half mad. I hate when he's not here in the morning.

I slowly open my eyes to bright sunlight which I groan about as I get up from the bed. I place my two feet on the ground, wiggling my toes, trying to get life into them.  The pringly feeling goes away as I stand up slowly, stretching into the sun. Did people take advantage of these kinds of mornings back in the day? I love these mornings. No infected to worry about, no worries whatsoever. Of course there's some kind of worry but right now...it's pure bliss.

I slowly walk into the bathroom, still waking up. I close the door, even though no one is here, and strip down. I turn on the shower and as I wait for it to warm up, I go to the bathroom. Finn still has the delicacy of toilet paper, but there's very little left. He told me to only use 2 squares per bathroom break, but sometimes I use three. I'm a girl and we don't have the convenience of peeing through a penis which doesn't need to be wiped.

I wipe myself and when I glance at it, I see bright, red blood. How am I bleeding? You stop your period when you're pregnant...right? I shrug it off and flush the toilet. I skip washing my hands and jump into the now hot shower. The hot water runs down my back as I clean myself. The expired shampoo still smells like lavender and still does its job.

Once I'm finished showering, I jump out and dry myself off with the grey towel hanging on the railing by the tub. I wipe down everything and between my thighs I see a bright red stream slowly trickling down both sides of my legs. I wipe it up with the towel and look around the bathroom. Finn has to have pads here, right? Wrong. I look through the house and can't find anything feminine to use. I decide to make a makeshift pad out of toilet paper, using more than the 2 squares Finn told me to use. I'm hoping it works til I can get to the lab and talk to Finn about this. I don't have any pain, just this.

"Ellie? Whatcha doing here so early?" Finn asks as I walk into the lab.

"Well, I know you said to sleep in and rest, but I'm worried about something," I say, a little shyly.

"Did you eat breakfast?" He asks.

"Yes, I did. Oatmeal and a glass of water,"

"Good," he replies.

"Finn," I push.

"Right, what's wrong?" He says, busy with his work.

"I woke up this morning and felt a little nauseous, but it went away-," I say.

"That's good,"

"-but when I went to the bathroom, there was blood," I say.

"Where?" Finn asks, obviously distracted.

"Finn, for just one minute, I need you to listen to what I am saying," I say a bit sternly.

Finn stops what he's doing, without complaining, and turns to me.

"All eyes on you," he starts. "-and ears!" I chuckle a little bit but go back to being serious.

"There was blood coming out of me from down there. It stopped for a little bit as I showered but when I jumped out and dried myself off, more came out," I say. Finn listens intently. "Also, I couldn't find any female things to help with that so I used more than a couple sheets of toilet paper,"
