Evelyn?

Evelyn sat on the edge of the bathtub, her handkerchief pressed tightly against her mouth. Pain soared through her throat as another bubble of warmth came up and splattered against the silk cloth. Pulling the handkerchief away for a moment, she saw more red stains. Panic leaped into her heart as she tried to slowly breath. All the while she heard her husband's voice on the other side of the door, filled with worry.

Just…just a second!

She weakly called out before stuffing the handkerchief into her pocket. Getting up she felt the room begin to spin. Slowly going to the sink, she stared at her reflection and saw how pale she was.

Moments later the door opened and Beni walked in, his eyes deep with concern. Evelyn spun around before staring at him as he walked forward. Trying her best she faintly smiled. His tanned hand was then against her smooth face, she felt his rough skin slowly rubbing against her as his striking blue eyes studied her.

Are you all right love?

Evelyn faked a smile before shaking her head.

Just got a little nauseous…

Evelyn then patted her perfectly flat stomach before smiling up at him.

Looks like you might be getting that son you always wanted.

But this time it didn't work, Beni's hand slipped into her pocket before she could step away. Moments later he brought the blood stained handkerchief up and stared at it. Right away an awful twisting feeling fled through Evelyn's body. She knew how worried he got, and how upset he would be since she lied.

Your still coughing up blood?

Evelyn stood, her back to the sink silent. Dropping her eyes she couldn't look at him.

It was just a little…I think I might of bit the back of my tongue.

Beni lowered his head and began to swear under his breath. Evelyn felt herself shake while watching him. She hated to lie to him, but couldn't stand him knowing how bad she really thought things were. Finally Beni looked up, his eyes serious.

I'm fetching the doctor.

Beni…

He then shook his head, holding up the blood stained cloth.

No, this is enough…now come to bed.

But I feel fine Beni, really…look at me!

Beni looked at her before sighing, reaching out his hand, she slipped hers into his and he brought her to their master bedroom.
