Pain. I feel sharp spikes pricking all over my body and my eyes flutter open.
Blinding, white lights shine down at me from above making my eyes quickly close from shock. Confusion clouds my brain. Where am I?
I try to wriggle my toes but find that I can hardly move them at all. My fingers are the same and a wave of pain flushes through my arm as I attempt to move them.
An oxygen mask is pressed against my face and beads of sweat from being in pain trickle down the sides of my head.
"This is Natalie Henderson, she's been involved in a car crash and we think that she has broken her leg and will need a metal rod put into her collarbone as it looks like she has snapped it." A female voice echoes through my ears and shock rushes into my brain as my memories go back to me in the car.
"Okay let's get her in for an x-ray." A male voice this time demands and my eyes squint open a little.
A young nurse is looking down at me with big brown eyes whilst clutching a clipboard to her chest. "Miss Henderson, don't panic everything will be fine. You have been involved in a car crash at your rally car track and we are just gonna be taking you in for an x-ray to ensure that everything is how we believe it is. We have just given you some anaesthetic so the pain you are in should begin to fade very soon." The woman reassures me and I feel the bed I am laying on begin to move towards somewhere.
Just like she said the agony begins to soften and my eyes flutter shut yet again as the lights hurt my eyes.
I pass out.
* * *
The surgery upon my collarbone was done with almost immediately after I went for my x-ray. And I hold the x-ray images of the surgery in my hand.
"Natalie!" Kyle runs into the ward and perches next to me. "Fucking hell you gave me a right scare, I watched your car come off the track and it rolled over so many times. I couldn't believe it. They told me that you have broken your leg and snapped your collarbone, how are you feeling? Trent is on his way and will be getting here anytime soon, I couldn't get hold of him until like five minutes ago and he is freaking out. It's the same with Jordan too, he is on his way and is also worried."
All this information takes me aback and I find it hard to keep up. I rub my eye with my free arm to show the fact that I am overwhelmed from Kyle rumbling on. "Err...this is what I have as my collarbone now." I show him the x-ray images and his eyes widen in shock.
"Flipping heck, look how big that thing is and what are those? Are they stitches?"
"I think so, I ain't to sure whether they're stitches or staples to be honest but whatever they are they are fucking huge. I mean, now I will have a huge arse scar across my top left collarbone." My fingers glide gently across the bandaging and shift in the white sheets that cover me.
"Miss Henderson," The female nurse, who's name I have learnt to be Sarah, waddles over to me with a great big smile on her face. "I have good news for you, I have some results for you that have just come through from some tests we performed a couple of hours ago. Your baby, they're going to be fine."
My heart misses a beat and my blood goes cold. "Sorry, did you say baby?" I look nervously at Kyle and he exchanges glances with me and I take a sharp breath.
"Yes, Miss, didn't you know? You are five weeks pregnant. Congratulations, everything is fine with the little one and despite your accident there appears to be no issues whatsoever." She smiles even brighter at me and Kyle's arm grabs my hand within his to give me support.
"But...I haven't been showing any symptoms, I haven't been throwing up." I shake my head, it looks bad me denying that I am pregnant and feeling crappy about it.
"Now, you see, the throwing up part does not actually start until the fifth or sixth week meaning that you will be experiencing that very soon, Miss Henderson, but don't worry the beginning symptoms are most definitely the worst." Sarah gives me a quick reassuring nod before being called off to take care of someone else leaving me shocked and numb.
I am lost for words and struggle to take it all in. I'm pregnant with Trent's child. "Nat, remember what I said before you went out on the track. If you turn out to be pregnant we are gonna tell Trent before anyone else. I am gonna be with you all the way, hon, and I know that both Trent and Jordan will be too." His hand squeezes mine and he nods firmly. I return the nod feeling completely full to the top with emotion.
"Nat! Oh my God!" Trent barges into the ward looking ever so worried and over panicky. "What's happened, I have had a million missed calls from this guy and a voice message saying that you have had an accident and that I need to get down to the hospital as soon as possible. Baby, what's happened?" Trent perches on the edge of my bed and Kyle lets go of my hand as Trent reaches for it.
But before any words can come out of my mouth the tears come streaming down. "I love you, Trent." I wail and get many weird looks from others in this ward.
"Oh, babe, don't cry please. Look at you, you're getting yourself into a complete mess." He wipes the tears from my face with his thumbs gently and kisses my nose lovingly.
"Natalie Henderson, what the hell were you bloody thinking!" Jordan comes bursting into the ward with Rebecca and the two girls trailing behind him all looking worried. "I got out of training to find a million calls on my phone from Kyle and Trent has the same and...what the hell has happened to you?" My brother points at my arm that is in a sling from my operation and he pulls up a chair. I now have a whole crowd round my bed and it is so overwhelming.
"I don't know." I cover my face up with my one hand and sob even harder.
"She came off the track when she were driving." Kyle takes over clearly seeing that I am struggling.
"What?!" Trent and Jordan yell in shock.
Kyle picks up the x-ray images and hands one each to the boys. "I've snapped my collarbone and have had to have this metal rod screwed into it." I run my finger along the line but still struggle to not breakdown even further.
"Nat has also broken her leg and is bumped and bruised but other than that everything is going to be fine." Kyle chimes in again and smiles encouragingly trying to get me to tell them all about the baby before I bottle out.
"Oh shit! That looks so painful, Nat, are you feeling okay?" Trent gasps and looks at me with his big brown eyes and the first smile of the day tugs at my lips at how silly this situation actually appears.
Kyle coughs and nudges me. "There is one other thing too, but I will leave Natalie to tell you this one."
Everyone looks at me expectedly and I take a deep breath trying to calm my nerves slightly. "I'm...I'm....well today I found out that I...that me and Trent are...expecting." I grip Trent's hand tightly within my one and it's evident that all of them are just as shocked as I am and Trent raises his eyebrows.
"Wait, me and you are having a baby?" My boyfriend questions and his voice holds joy and surprise, the reaction that I was hoping for. I nod my head trying to hold back tears that threaten to spill from both happiness and pure messed up emotions.
"We are having a baby." I press my lips against his plump ones and his mouth grins against my own.
Happiness fills me and tingles in my stomach.
Me and Trent are having a baby together and I now couldn't be happier about starting a family with my one love, Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Hey peeps,
Well I know this chapter may seem a bit rushed but to be honest I just wanted to get to the part where Natalie finds out that her and Trent are expecting and I didn't exactly know what else I wanted to write. So I am sorry if it were a tad shitty but I did my best.
Anyways, I will see you next week,
