I then hear Ronald call from the other room.
“He’ll be here in soon!”
Leo kisses my forehead and whispers soothing words in my ear.
“Dickson will be here soon, sweetie. It’ll be alright, he’ll fix it. You’ll be okay and the baby.”
I feel more and more blood coming out of me which makes me a little light headed. I can do this, it’s not that bad. I suddenly feel a ton more blood start flowing out of me. That’s not good… I hear Leo gasp.
“Oh crap…” He breathes.
I feel dizzy and my world starts to spin. Out of the spinning world, I hear the door shoot open. I close my eyes because I feel like I’m gonna throw up.
“Dickson! Get in here!” Leo yells.
I hear footsteps then I smell a scent I’ve never smelt before. It kinda smells like Leo. I slightly smile but the pain makes me groan.
“Lay her down.” The new man says.
I think it’s this Dickson they’ve been talking about.
I feel a cold metal touch my skin and I flinch. As it goes up I realize he’s cutting off my pants. Well, they were ruined anyway. Pain runs through my body and I cry out. Leo touches my cheek and rubs his thumb over my skin.
“It’s okay sweetie. It’s going to be alright.” He whispers to me.
After a few moments my pants are cut off and my panties are gone. I open my eyes to see where Leo was because he wasn’t beside me anymore. As Dickson looks down at my lower area, I hear Leo growl. I see him in the doorway, looking as angry as ever. He starts to protest but I scream in pain and he stops. Leo runs to my side and grabs my hand. I feel more warm blood coming out of me and I panic. Dickson picks up a bag he brought with him and he pulls out a syringe. My eyes grow wide as he is fixing to poke my stomach with it. Did I mention that I’m scared of needles?
Yeah….
Leo sees my fear and squeezes me hand. It calms me down enough for Dickson to inject me with whatever that stuff was. After a moment I instantly feel better. I sigh and relax a bit. My eyes are heavy from all the pain I just went through. I’ll just close my eyes for a second. I’m so tired.
I hear voices but they are muffled. I try to concentrate on what they are saying and it becomes a little more clearer. I quietly listen to Dickson and Leo speaks.
“I managed to stop the bleeding and the baby seems to be okay, but-”
“But what? Dickson, please tell me.”
I hear him sigh,”I don’t know if she can make it through the whole pregnancy. She’s weak, probably from not getting enough to eat and rest.”
“What do I need to do? I’ll do anything.”
“The only thing you can do is put her on bed rest and make sure she has plenty to eat and lots of rest.
Other than that, there’s nothing else you can do…. Ill be honest Leo, even if she does get better, I don’t think she’s gonna make it to her due date. Not since this happened.”
My heart drops to my stomach and I feel like I can’t breathe. What? I hear them start to walk away but they stop.
“I have to know.. what started her contractions?”
Silence follows Then Dickson breaks it.
“Since the pup isn’t her mate’s, her body is rejecting it.”
“But she was just fine befo-”
“Before you took her back. When you rejected her, her body didn’t reject the pup. But now…”
“It’s my fault.”
“You didn’t know Leo It’s not your fault.”
“I should’ve known though! I should’ve made sure that nothing would happen to the baby if took her back! It’s my fault that she was in pain and that she might lose her child!”
I feel tears slide down my cheeks and I open my eyes. I sit up and look at Leo and Dickson.
“It’s not your fault. its my fault” I croak.
Leo’s head snaps toward me and he runs to me. He pulls me into his lap and I grab his shirt like my life depended on it. I cry into his chest and he rocks me back and forth, comforting me. A sob escapes my mouth and he nuzzles his face in my hair.
“I’m sorry, Leo. I’m sorry I’m not pregnant with your child. I’m sorry I didn’t try harder to push him away. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” I sob and try to get closer to him.
He pulls away from me and looks at me with confusion on his face.
“What do you mean, ‘push him away’?” His voice is dangerous which makes me shrink back.
The memories of William raping me repeatedly makes me start to sob harder. His arms tighten and his hand lifts my chin up so I have to look at him.
‘Tell me!” He growls.
I flinch and pull away from him. I cover my face trying to hide my fear of him. I feel him stroke my hair and gently pull my hands away.
“Im sorry, sweetie. I didn’t mean to scare you. Please talk to me, princess.” His voice is soft and full of compassion.
I look up at him through glassy eyes.
“I-I d-didn’t w-want t-to Leo.” I say through sobs.
His face is full of anger and sadness. It breaks my heart to put him through this.
“You didn’t want to do what?” He cups his hands on my cheeks and stares into my eyes.
“W- William h-he w-would k-ill you i-if I t-told a-nyone!” I choke out.
“Told anyone what?! What did he not want anyone to know? Mira, what do he do to you?” He sounds desperate.
“L- Leo, h-e r-aped m-e.” I sob and cover my face with my hands.
