Francesca's POV:
My eyes slowly opened to the sound of faint, countless beeping. I carefully tilted my head to make sure I was able to move. I thought I wasn't able to do it-...like my body was incapable of any sudden movement...
I laydown staring at a blurry figure listening to the sounds of the room. My eyes finally came into focus and I saw a heart monitor next to me.
I immediately felt a strange warmth towards my wrist. It was a muscular hand caressing my arm.
I twitched and let out a groan and the sound of feet shuffling followed. The person next to me had gotten up and took a firmer hold of my palm.
"Hey Francesca, are you awake?"
The voice was easily recognizable as Leon. Then I remembered- he had been with me before I passed out.
"Y-yeah... What happened?" I ask slowly arching my back.
"Hey hey" He says in a panicked tone. "Don't do that, just rest here." He fluffs my pillow.
"Thanks...." I say laying back down so that I'm back to staring at the white ceiling.
"You... fainted" he explains letting out a sigh.
"Why?" I ask not looking at him- still at nothingness.
"The doctors have done a quick scan... They will be here to tell you in a minute..." He says.
I roll my head back and stare at the door with the corner of my eye.
The door swung open and I could hear the sound of Leon standing up instantaneously.
"Hey doctor, any news?"
"Yes...." The doctor says in his deep, serious tone. "We did a quick scan of Francesca and-"
He pauses for a moment. I react to the sudden hesitation by sitting up cautiously.
"Fran..." Leon mutters reaching to help me.
"I'm okay" I whisper. I advert my attention back to the doctor.
"Are you her boyfriend?" The doctor asks Leon directly.
"No, I'm just her friend." He says.
"Okay well, do you mind if you step outside for a bit?" The doctor asks. Leon glances at me and I nod.
"Okay... I'll be right outside if you need me Fran"
"Okay, thanks Leon" I say.
After he gently closes the door, the doctor looks up from the clipboard and smiles showing off his pearly, white teeth.
"How are you doing Francesca?"
"I'm okay..." I say.
"Are you feeling alright?" He asks.
"Yes... I'm fine" I answer.
"May I ask if you've been feeling these pains in your stomach, maybe some dizziness...... temptation of eating?"
"Uh... yes, that's exactly what I've been feeling these past weeks..."
"Okay then" He starts. "I'm sorry, the reason I had to tell the young man to exit the room was because I wasn't sure if you wanted him to know this news..."
"What news?" I ask curiously.
He takes a deep breath and once again looks down at his clipboard.
"Well... We were doing a scan of everything in your body to check how things were going, and it went good, but..."
He hesitates for yet another second and at this point, I am more than anxious.
"What is it doctor? Tell me" I practically beg.
"It seems as though... you are... carrying a child"
