"Mmm.....Duncan are you okay?"
I squeaked hoarsely to Duncan.
"I'm fine how are you?"
He asked cheerfully.
"I could be better.More stitches was NOT what I wanted by the way."
I replied,upset.
Duncan turned on his side and looked the other way.I don't know why,maybe it was hard for him to see me in a hospital bed.
"You know the baby's okay right?"
Duncan asked quietly.
"Y-yeah I know."
I replied nervously,wondering what Duncan was thinking.
"I was....really worried about you....the doctor said that-"
I cut Duncan off.
"Don't worry about me,I'm perfectly fine."
I assured him.
"NO YOU'RE NOT!"
Duncan turned toward me,crying hysterically.
"I can't see you like this Courtney!Even when I close my eyes I see you in a hospital bed!"
I saw hot tears running down his stoic face.
"You have no idea what it was like to see you tortured Courtney!You have no idea!"
I watched him in sympathy,and slowly walked over,wobbling madly,I carefully balanced myself,sitting next to him.
"See babe I can walk!I'm fine!"
I comforted Duncan.
"But you're still in pain."
He squeaked out sadly.
"Sometimes we have to endure through pain."
I told him rubbing his back.
Duncan slowly touched my face,and then rubbed my stomach.
"We have a strong baby.But that's pretty obvious considering who the parents are."
We both chuckled at Duncan's comment,and then there was an awkward silence.
"You know I'll always love you right?"
Duncan said holding my hand.
"Of course I know.I'll always love you too."
I kissed him repeatedly.
Duncan smiled and slowly rubbed my stomach over and over.
I kissed Duncan again,but then suddenly the pretty blonde doctor came in.
"Hello you two!Well I see you can walk just fine miss!"
The doctor exclaimed sweetly.
"If you can walk,I can give you the okay to go home.What about you Duncan?"
Duncan quickly stood up and easily walked a few steps,then sat down.
"Okay then!You seem perfectly fine,so I can let you go home.Pick up your prescriptions at the pharmacy downstairs,and then you can leave.Just tell us how you're doing this week,and we can decide if you need physical therapy or not.Just change out of your clothes in the bathroom in the corner,and you can go home right after."
"Thanks."
Duncan happliy thanked the doctor.
I took Duncan's hand and slowly stood up,feeling very off center.
"Should I go home even though I'm shaking this much?"
I asked the doctor curiously.
"You're going to have to test it out.You both are exceeptionally lucky.It usually is much worse for most pateints considering what happened to you.Our team took a look at yuo,and your shaking should go away soon,that's just your body reacting to what went on with the violence in your home.Your body feels it still isn't safe,and it's trying do hard to protect you it does too much and makes you shake repeatedly.It'll wear off quickly."
Duncan and I left after thanking the doctor again,picked up our prescriptions,and called for a cab.I got out at our house,but Duncan said he had somewhere to go.
"Where?"
I asked him suspiciously.
"Um....nowhere I'll be back.Love you."
He closed the door and was driven away.He came back about an hour and twenty minutes later,with a gold box in his arms.It was medium sized,not to big,not too small,with a shimmery red bow on the top.
"Here babe.I found this on the way to uh.....somwhere.Here.Open it."
Duncan handed me the box,I untied the bow and pulled off the top to see I dark calico kitten jump out on my neck licking me.
"Babe thanks!You know I wanted a kitten!How did you get it?"
"I found it on the street.It decided it wanted to attack me,stupid thing."
The kitten glared at Duncan,leaning over to scratch him.
"I took so long because I took it to the vet.It's a girl.And it's so vicious you should name it something like "Evil",or "Pepper"or in a cuter way like "Pepa"."
Duncan suggested.
"I'll name it Sugar spelled S-u-g-a.Like an oximoron."
Duncan rolled his eyes at the sight of Suga licking me repeatedly.Then it jumped onto Duncan and licked him.
"Sure act sweet around her."
He grumbled.The cat hissed.
I slowly walked into the bedroom,and Duncan followed me.I was tired and needed to take a nap.I climbed into bed and Duncan lay next to me,holding Suga(who was exceptionally tiny by the way,)in his hands.He moved in closer to me and I laid on my back.
"Oh Suga!"
I realized suddenly.
"There's someone else you have to meet."
I pulled up my shirt and put the cat on my stomach.
"This is our baby."

I squeaked hoarsely to Duncan.
"I'm fine how are you?"
He asked cheerfully.
