Chapter 20
*Nick*
I woke up, very cold. I looked down on the bed for Nat, and she wasn’t there. I got up and looked around seeing AJ watching the TV. “AJ what are you doing here?”
“Came to visit you since Bri can’t. So how are you?” he asked
“Cold, where’s Nat?”
“Tests. That’s what the doctor told me when I came in. So what is the matter with her?” I smiled and put my head against the back of the bed. “Why is Nicky smiling?”
“She’s pregnant, but, since she was beaten by ex boyfriends so badly, she might lose the baby, or die. So I... I don’t know what’s going on.” I said trying to hold back everything that I had inside me.
“Nick, cry I don’t care or mind, you know that would be hard on me if the girl I loved couldn’t or didn’t know if she could carry a baby, or even mine. That would be so hard to me.”
“I know, but she thinks I’m angry about this, when I’m not. I’m happy, but also scared for her in another way, ya know?”
“I think so. Just sleep on it Nick, or eat some of that crappy food, you do have to get used to that for the next six months.”
I sighed. “That’s another thing, I won’t be there for her during this. I’ll be there for the last three and I feel so bad doing that.”
“Tell her that, maybe she can live here, or something. You two are in love, and I know that at any cost you two will work threw this.” AJ said.
“Thanks.” I said between sniffles.
“Well I gotta go. I’ll see you sometime later this week. Good luck.” He said.
“Alright, bye.” I said and watched him leave. I then ate the food that I had and laid my head down on the pillow waiting for Nat.

After I took the many blood tests, and other tests, I was to tired to care about anything but going in that room and sleeping. As I walked into it, I saw Nick sitting on a chair that looked out the window holding a teddy bear of mine. “Nick? How are you doing?” I asked.
“Alright. What did the doctor say about you?”
“We won’t know for another week, that’s one good thing, me and you can stay together. But I heard that you were going to start your therapy soon.” I said sitting on his lap.
“Yeah, tomorrow. And they told me if I’m good they will release me early. Which I’m hoping for because I really don’t want to be away from you threw all of this.” he said kissing my cheek.
“I’m glad.” I said. “You tired? Cuz if you are we can go get some sleep in that warm bed that you left me in, cold, this morning.”
“Yes, and I’m sorry, the doctor came in and told me I have to start them early, to see some things with nothing in me. That’s what he said so I don’t know. I just hope I can make you happy to have this kid and we can become a family.” I said smiling at him as he pulled me into his arms and we slept.
