"How has the baby been treating you?"

Maya looked up, surprise to see her husband was awake and his eyes staring down at her. "Am I hurting you?" she asked, noticing how much of her body was snuggled up to his and started to pull away.

Josh frowned, pulling her back with all the strength he could. "Never," he answered. "It will never hurt having you this close to me."

Maya smiled, staring lovingly into his blue eyes.

"And I'm high on drugs so if you were hurting me I wouldn't feel a thing."

"Josh," Maya winced, causing Josh to chuckle.

"I'm fine," he assured her. "Now, how has the baby been treating you?" he asked again.

"Good," Maya answered, glancing down at her stomach. "It was like the baby knew it had to be good because I've only gotten sick a few times. I still feel exhausted and want nothing more than sleep the day away, but the baby has been really good."

Josh nodded, "That's good," he said, staring at his wife.

"Yeah," Maya agreed with a slight smile.

Josh sighed, keeping his eyes on Maya.

"What?" Maya asked, confused, as to why her husband now looked upset.

"You aren't lying to me because of the accident, right?"

"What?"

"You would tell me if something was wrong with the baby?"

Maya narrowed her eyes, wondering where this was coming from. "Yeah, I would tell you," she assured him, but still saw the skeptical look in his eyes. "Josh, I promise nothing is wrong with our baby," she told him, resting her hand on her stomach. "The baby is fine."

Josh remained quiet, staring into his wife's eyes before slowly nodding. "Okay."

Maya nodded, "Okay."

XOXOXOX

Josh watched his wife walk out of the room and couldn't help the overwhelming feeling she was hiding something from him. Something was off and he knew it. There was something going on with her, and he was going to find out the answer. He was so consumed in his thoughts that he was shocked to see a hand waving in front of his face. He looked up to find his niece staring at him, "Hey niece."

Riley raised an eyebrow at her uncle as she pulled up a chair, "You looked like you were really loss in your thoughts?"

Josh frowned as he slowly nodded before staring over at his niece who was his wife's best friend and probably knew some answers.

Riley tilted her head, confused at the look on her uncle's face. "What?"

"Has Maya said anything to you about the baby after the accident?"

"Yeah, " Riley answered, hesitantly.

"What has she told you?"

"She told me everything is fine, why? Is it not?"

Josh shook his head, shrugging. "Were you in the room with her when they told you everything is fine?"

"No," Riley frowned, answering hesitantly. "Why do you think something is wrong?" she asked, wondering where her uncle was going with this.
