(Groans)

I groan loudly & stretch my arms & legs as I open my eyes slowly.

"W-What just happened?", I said hoarsely.

I quickly sat up & grabbed my throat.
"Whaaa, whaaaaa, whhhhhhaaaaat? What?", I said making sure I wasn't hallucinating.

"I-I'm speaking!😃", I said happily.

(Door Opens)

"Lauryn!", I heard a voice exclaim.

Kevin came bursting in & hugging me tightly. I hugged back.

I let go of him.
"Kevin, I'm speaking! I'm actually speaking!", I said with tears of joy forming in my eyes.

"Yes I know! And it sounds so angelic like!", he says sitting down right next to me not letting go of my hand.

"Doctor, how is this possible? I t-thought that I–"
"Well, Ms. Grisdale. To be honest, we didn't know what exactly was your illness to begin with since there was nothing wrong. After 17 years, something broke off that wall to physically communicate & made it possible. It's a miracle actually. Almost like a baby speaking its first words which is a cry.", the doctor explained.

I happily smile & can't believe this is happening.
Nothing can ruin this day but.....I was wrong.

"Wait....what happened last night?", I asked.
Kevin looked at me.
"Lauryn....it's been 2 nights already. You've been in the hospital for almost 3 days now.", Kevin states.

"Really? It's been that long? Where's Danielle & the rest of them?", I asked.
"They're waiting outside. We just came 'cause the doctor has some news but wanted to share it with u first & well, I insisted on coming in.", he states making me blush.
Awe......
I looked at the doctor.

"What's the news?", I asked him.
"Ms. Grisdale, I know this must be very hard for u & I'm sorry for your loss but we must discuss—"
"Wait! What do u mean, "Sorry for your loss"? I don't understand.", I stated worried if something might have happened to my dads or something.

"You mean, u don't know?", the doctor states with a questionable facial expression.
"No I don't! Please tell me who died sir!", I said my heart racing.

"Ms. Grisdale.....u had a miscarriage.", he states making my breathing stop completely.

A-A-A miscarriage? I-I was pregnant?

"Wait, hold up! Pregnant?! When? How?", Kevin asked just as confused as I was.

"Ms. Grisdale, before the accident, u were 4 weeks pregnant. A baby was forming in your stomach. That's why when u came in to visit your friend the other day & collapsed, u had some stomach-pains. Normal for the average early stages of pregnancies. If u had let us examine u, we would've told u the condition u were carrying but since u begged us not to.....we couldn't exactly know what was the problem at hand.", he told us.

My hand slipped off of Kevin's & my mouth fell wide open as I could not believe the words he was saying to me right now.

P-Pregnant? By who? I didn't have sex wit–wait.....I was raped by Gabriel the night I fell down the stairs.....it couldn't have happened then could it?.....or did it?

"Now let's talk about the situation that caused this unfortunate incident. The bullet hit your rib cage more closer to the stomach area.....where the baby was. It didn't damage any organs thankfully...but that's thanks to the small soul that was growing inside of u. The bullet was as small as the body so it basically bursted inside of the little one instead of u. It's a terrible thing to happen especially to an innocent but I thought u should know how u were saved. Do u wish to spea–"
"What was it?", I asked cutting the doctor off as tears streamed down my face.
"Pardon me?", he asked again.
"What...gender was it?", I asked again.
"Um....it was to small to identify the gender yet Ms. Grisdale.", the doctor stated.

"Where is it?", I asked.
"Ms. Grisdale–"
"WHERE IS MY BABY?!", I yelled at him ready to get up.

Kevin holds me back.
"WHERE IS MY BABY?! WHAT'D U DO WITH MY BABY?!", I cried out ripping the wires connected to my body & dropping on the floor.

"Ms. Grisdale u still need to res–"
"WHAT'D U DO WITH MY BABY?! WHAT'D U.....u....do.....", I said finally sobbing as I couldn't even finish what I was saying from the sadness.

(Sobs)

I fall to the ground as Kevin's arms are wrapped around my neck.

(Sobs)

"Shhh....it'll be ok.....😔", Kevin said sympathetically caressing my head.

(Sobs)

Why, God?! Why take my baby away from me?! It could've had a life....i could've cared for it, I-I could've loved it.....why? WHY DID GABRIEL HAVE TO KILL MY BABY?! HIS BABY! Why did u do this Gabriel? Your hatred towards Kevin killed your child......my child...........😖

(Sobs)
