Chapter 44
2 months later
Belle woke up feeling horrible. She had been avoiding her friends and
throwing herself into her schoolwork. Cheerleading was out for the year
due to her injuries. She was making straight a's in her second semester
but she was miserable.
Belle had been sick for weeks she woke up and was sick most of the morning
and early afternoon and didn't feel better until late afternoon. She had
spoken to JT and Zack Brady and she refused to tell them what happened but
begged them to forgive Shawn after all he is their brother.
Belle smiled at Phil when she walked into Economics and sat down next to
him. They exchanged small talk and class began. Half way through the
class Belle started to feel sick she stood up to head to the bathroom and
passed out cold on the floor.
Phil rushed over to her and tried to wake her up. Shawn turned to see the
commotion and saw Belle laying on the floor with the professor and Phil
hovering over her. His heart broke, how had things gotten so bad so
quick.
Belle hardly talked to Mimi. Mimi and Rex filled Shawn in on some of the
details but they had no idea who he went upstairs with. Phil hated Shawn
at practice he put up with Shawn but off the court he avoided him at all
costs.
Deep down Shawn knew that he still loved Belle but things could never be
the same too much had happened. Shawn started to walk towards Belle when
the paramedics rushed in and Phil rode with her to the hospital.
Belle started to come to in the ambulance but she was so dizzy she fell
right back down. The ambulance grabbed a wheelchair for her and took her
into the emergency room.
The doctor ran a bunch of tests and cat scans on Belle and told her she
would have to stay over night. Phil stayed with Belle. She counted on him
for everything. She was like a little sister to him he couldn't stand to
see her in pain. Belle shut herself off from the rest of the world. She
hardly talked to anyone. Mimi didn't know what to say to her anymore.
Phil had wanted to kill Shawn when he found about how he treated Belle her
first night back at school.
The doctor walked in an hour later asking to speak to Belle in private.
When Phil was out of the room the doctor gave Belle the news.
Doctor Michaels: Miss Black, I know why you are so sick and light headed.
Once you start taking your prenatal vitamins and resting you will start to
feel little better.
Belle: Prenatal vitamins? You mean I'm pregnant.
Tears started to pour down Belle's face she didn't know what she was going
to do. How could she raise a child alone? How was she going to finish
school or better yet tell the dad that can't even remember the night the
child was conceived?
