I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, I've been really ill and yesterday I just felt awful. So I apologize in advance for how short this chapter is, and sorry if it's kinda rubbish! Will try and write some more later, depending on how I feel and upload again tomorrow hopefully.

"I'm sorry, that was too much too fast, especially after what happened today. I'm so sorry, it's just that you said we worked well together yesterday and I don't know… I think I added one and one and made five." Rita was rambling.

Tears forming in her eyes, not believing she could be so stupid to think Connie would love her back the way she loved her.

These two days together, cementing just how deeply she cared for the soft hearted brunette.

"Rita stop." Connie had her eyes closed, a hand in front of her eyes.

"I'll just go, I'm so sorry. I understand…" Rita getting cut off as Connie shook her head.
"No, you don't understand." Connie said, taking Rita's shaking hands in her owns. Rita was nearly hysterical as she thought she ruined all friendship they had ever built.

"I am vulnerable right now, I am pregnant with someone else's child and I have no experience with women whatsoever." Connie told Rita, who tried to pull away, but Connie held her firmly in her grasp. "Do you still want me?"

Rita had no words, not understanding why Connie would think any of those things would make her love her any less.

Rita couldn't find the words to reply so she just kissed Connie's hand, smiling like a clown as Connie started to laugh.

"You are such a dork." Rita said to Connie, who was laughing so hard she was crying happy tears, but her side was also aching, but at this point she didn't care.

"Yeah, well you're a little pixie." Rita laughed at Connie's statement, the two women just laughing

Rita suddenly turned serious, looking at Connie sadly.

"You don't have to go out with me, I'm not forcing you to do anything." Rita said. "You've never been with a woman, how do you know I'm different?" Rita asked, her insecurities starting to show, pulling the towel off Connie's side and re-wetting it, placing it back on the bruise.

"I have never felt like this about someone, I know it's all cliché and whatnot, but Rita you are the kindest, sweetest and most selfless person I've ever met. I'm not going to find any better than you." Connie told her, Rita not able to contain her emotions, more tears rolling down her face as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"I'm sorry, I came here to look after you and I've just gone and done this…" Rita apologised, suddenly aware of the pain Connie must be in.

"Don't say sorry." Connie said.

"Let's get you up to bed, you'll be comfier there than cramped on this sofa." Rita said. "Do you want some paracetamol? Or anything to eat?"

"No, I'll be fine." Connie assured Rita, letting the young Nurse help her up and onto her feet.

Rita gently laced her arms around Connie's waist, pulling the woman close, making note that without her heels on she was only a few inches taller than Rita.

Rita hugged Connie as hard as possible, without causing further harm to her.

"I will protect you and this baby with my life." Rita promised Connie, who leaned down her head, resting their foreheads together, both women closing their eyes as they bathed in an aura of absolute bliss.
