Sorry to all for the late update and enjoy the chapter, which I hate…:

"Malaria?" Abigail stared at Ben in shock as he revealed the conversation the doctor and he had just had. "But how? Where has he been? He hasn't been anywhere to catch it… has he?"

"I don't know but we can ask him when he wakes up but at the moment the doc is treating him."

"What do you treat someone with Malaria with?"

Ben's face creased with concentration and concern as he thought over the possible treatment Riley could receive and answered "Well Malaria is an infectious disease so most of the cure should be antibiotics but I guess there will be other medication needed. I don't really know a lot about Malaria and never thought to ask."

"Neither do I and I think it would be best if we found out."

"Yeah; where's Louisa?" Ben asked concerned for the person he only met that day.

"She went to get some coffee. I think everything is a bit much for her. I mean she sees her brother for the first time in God knows how long and then he is hospilitised."

They both travelled down the hospital corridor to the cafeteria to find Louisa. When they arrived it was practically empty which was strange as it was late afternoon, peak time for visiting hours.

Looking around for the middle aged, brunette they spotted her behind a wooden criss-cross blind.

Ben walked around the blind and sat across from Louisa while Abi ordered three more coffees. Patiently waiting for Abi Ben watched Louisa stare at her hands in silence.

Walking over with a tray of three steaming coffees and Abigail placed it on the table before sitting next to Louisa.

Once everyone had their coffees Abi tried to bring up a conversation.

"So… umm… I am guessing you've heard?"

Louisa lifted her head to show a tear stained face and question in her eyes.

"Sorry?"

"Oh… well… Ben was with the doctor …"
"What did he say? Do they know what's wrong with Riley? Will he be alright?"

"Calm down… its okay, he will be okay, but they have come out with some bad results…"

"What?" Louisa's voice was quiet now, not screaming but trembling.

Abigail was now hugging Louisa in a tight embrace as she told her of Riley's condition.

"Malaria…"

"MALARIA! But how? How did he get it? Why ? … Why him? … Why now? Now of all times?" She had gone back to screaming, crying as Abi tried to clam her down.

With surprisingly strong strength for such a petite figure she pushed Abigail off the side of the chair and ran out of the cafeteria.

Ben stood abruptly and proceeded to run after her but was stopped by Abi's hand on his shoulder and looking at her he saw she was shaking her head.

"Leave it; give her time."

Agreeing Ben nodded and sat back down to carry on drinking his coffee, which surprisingly hadn't spilt in the entire ruckus.

Once Abi had sat back down they sat in silence for the most of 5 minutes until Abi thought to speak up.

"Ben…? I don't think this is the best time but it's been in the back of my mind for to long."

He could tell she was nervous as she played with her polystyrene cup but gave a nod for her to continue.

"Well… I decided to check after my time of the month came."

"Time? Time of the month?"

"You know? P e r i o d."

"Huh? P e r i o d?" Ben's face was creased in concentration as Abi's anger boiled.

"PERIOD!"

"Ohhh….I know, I was messing with ya, no need to shout." Ben laughed as he saw the rage in Abigail's face and froze as he thought of what this meant. "WHAT?"

"I know; I was just as shocked as you are."

"How… how long have you known?"

Abi scrunched her face up. "About a week."

"A week! We need to get you to a hospital! Now!"

Abi's mood changed at this and she started Laughing as she said "Ben for one, we are in a hospital, two I am not having a baby yet…" She had never seen this side of Ben. The nervous, rash, scared man that was sitting across from her.

"Oh … yeah… right? … umm… so you want to keep it?"

"I thought about it and yeah I would, but I wanted you to have a say in it."

"Yeah?…okay?… umm.. okay, yeah."

Abigail's face lit with over excitement and joy until she heard shouts and screams from down the corridor out of the cafeteria. Turning her head towards the voices she saw nurses and a doctor all running in the same direction. To her fright, the direction of Riley's room.
