Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts,
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that's alright because
I love the way you lie
It was late at night when the girl stumbled into the hospital waiting room.
The room was almost empty, and Alessa was filing her nails behind her desk. It had been a slow day with not much to do. She didn't care much for these days, especially when she didn't have her nail kit on her to keep her occupied while the time passed.
She looked up as the girl entered the room. She was covered in blood and what she assumed to be sweat. Alessa rolled her eyes at the sight. She must be homeless she thought. Putting down her nail file she waited for the girl to get lost.
The girl eventually dragged herself over to the desk. Sweat covered her forehead and her breathing was laboured.
"Help me" She panted at the receptionist.
"What's wrong?" Alessa said in a bored voice pulling a piece of paper towards her.
The girl doubled over in pain clutching at her stomach. She looked up, bright blue eyes boring into Alessa's soft brown.
"Isn't it obvious?" She hissed as she straightened, finally giving Alessa a full view of her front. Alessa paled, her hand reaching for the telephone as the girl doubled over once more, this time screaming obscenities.
"Er, James, you have to get someone down here pronto!"
"What's up Alessa? I'm about to go off duty, this better be good."
"There's a girl here, and she's in labour right on my desk, and from the look of it, she's pretty close to popping out the kid right here"
"Oh" James was silent for a second.
"I'll send Heather down with a trolley and me and Cheryl can prep the room. Make sure this girl is okay, tell her what's going to happen"
"Right, see you soon" At this Alessa slammed the phone down and walked from around the desk kneeling down to the girl who was now on the floor in front of the desk.
"When this is over please remind me to kick the father's ass" The girl muttered under her breath letting out a dark chuckle.
"Okay sweetie, we're gonna have to move you down away from here to find out how far along you are and we'll have to see if you're able to have any painkillers too. There's a trolley coming down for you so you don't have to walk, does that sound okay?" Alessa said slowly, wrapping an arm around the girl's shoulder.
The girl nodded, her face contorted in pain. The doors opened and a blonde nurse pushed a trolley into the room
"Okay we have to get you up there, do you think you could manage it?"
"I'm not dying, I can get up just fine" The girl tried to push Alessa off but stumbled and fell over when she tried to get up
"I'm sorry sweetie, but you don't seem to notice the strain this is putting on your body, you need all the help you can get"
Eventually with the help of Heather, Alessa was able to get the girl onto the trolley. Heather began to set off when the girl called out
"Wait!" She took Alessa's hand and squeezed it "Can you stay with me?"
Alessa looked over at Heather who just shrugged.
"Of course sweetie, just let me get someone to cover my desk"
A quick phone call later and they had finally set off down the hallways towards the delivery rooms. The girl began to scream once more as they entered the room. Someone had placed a hospital gown on the bed, and they helped the girl into it trying not to move her around too much.
When James entered the room to check how dilated she was the girl began screaming that she would not have another man down there, ever again, which confused Alessa, but she went along with it, and sent James to call in Cheryl.

15 minutes later and Cheryl was holding a small baby whose electric blue eyes stared around in shock.
The girl was sobbing now, and as Cheryl was about to announce the sex of the baby she screamed "Don't tell me, I don't want to know!"
The three women looked at each other in confusion
"I don't want this baby! I just wanted it to go away!" Alessa moved to the girl's side holding her hand
"What are you talking about?"
"It's a rape baby and I couldn't abort it, I need it gone! Now!" The girl was hysterical and nothing Alessa said seemed to change her mood.
The three women were too caught up in trying to sort things out that they didn't notice another woman in the room, who slipped to the girl's side and whispered in her ear. They didn't even notice when the girl slipped out of the room with a small blanket covered bundle.
Eventually they wheeled the girl to a bed in silence and left their separate ways without talking about what had occurred that night
When Alessa returned to work the next day she went straight to the room they had left the girl in the night before.
There was no trace of the girl or of the baby.
When she asked around no one knew what she was talking about, even the people who had been there when it had happened.
One thing was for sure though.
Alessa would never forget the girl's eyes, electric blue, like they were boring straight into her soul. It had made her feel uncomfortable for a second and it was only on this fact that she knew the events of the night before had happened at all and it wasn't just a dream.
A/N I'm sorry if I have anything wrong, I'm not American and I haven't ever had a child so I don't really know how it works. Also there are a lot of references in this chapter, cookies to whoever can figure out what franchise they are from :P
This is only the prolouge, the other chapters will be longer and it is un-betaed cause I write better that way (as in I come up with more stuff before I can get it betaed which just annoys me)
It is set after LO, everything in LO happened.
Tell me what you think cause this is a re-write of Why Does He Do This To Me? So it is a PJO fiction, and if you can't figure out the girl then you're pretty stupid and not a huge PJO fan :)
