I fell on someone. He was strong enough to keep his balance. I looked up and saw… Eduardo?! "Elise!" he held me in his arms. Suddenly my stomach started hurting. Blood flowed profusely. I stole a glance at Eduardo and saw his shock, fear and concern in one face. My entire body started to hurt. Tom and Colin caught up and yelled to Eduardo "Hey! Leave the gal and go!"
He hugged me in one hand and pulled his gun out with the other. It was pointed to them. My head then started spinning and everything was fading in and out. I couldn't breathe suddenly and everything was out. Before I fell into darkness, I heard two gunshots.
"Who is she…" I asked. "No one." He replied. I grabbed him by the hand and he flung me aside. I fell to the floor and looked up at him, hurt. I got to my feet and ran out, tears brimming in my eyes.
As I was running and running, everything went black again. Five seconds later, my eyes flickered open. I looked around me and found myself in Eduardo and my bed again. At my left hand was Eduardo, eyes closed. He looked so sweet. Did I just have a nightmare? I brushed my hand through his soft hair.
Eduardo then opened his eyes and a smile creeped across his face, seeing me awake. I gave a slight grin. He pointed out that I was pale. " I'm gonna find Doc. Tell him yer awake." I reached out for his hand but he walked too far. I sank back into the bed and wrapped myself in the soft and comfortable sheets. I rested my eyes.
My eyes opened once more when I heard the door open. I looked and saw Doc and Eduardo. Doc walked towards me and asked if I was okay, looking concerned. "Elise, what happened? When Eduardo carried you back, you were covered in injuries and blood! There was blood running profusely down your hands, legs and head… Nevertheless, you are very lucky!" he said smiling.
Confused, I asked him why I was lucky. Eduardo asked the same thing. "Well, despite your hurt stomach, he, or she is still alive!" Doc replied cheerfully. When I asked what, Doc broke the news. "Congrats you two, Elise's pregnant! Good job Eduardo!" Both of us gasped in happiness.
Eduardo gave me a silent tight hug. I yelped in pain before he apologized as he forgot my injuries and child. With that, I smiled to sleep that ni
I woke up early that day to help Nathan prepare breakfast. Since we found out I was with child last night, it was only shared between Doc, me and Eduardo. "Bring me the barrel from the cargo, would ya?" Nathan asked. I nodded my head before walking out. As I was heading for the door, Eduardo was walking past the kitchen and saw me. "Elise, what are ya doin' so early in the morning?" he asked, skeptical and puzzled at the same time.
"Oh, Eduardo, I was just helpin' Nathan get a barrel from the cargo." I replied. Eduardo's calm and collectedness turned into a frown. His brows furrowed and he sternly said "Elise, you know you shouldn't be carryin' anythin' heavy or even work!" I rolled my eyes and said it was okay once in a while.
Eduardo grabbed my arm and dragged me to the room. Irritated, I flung my hand downwards and fiercely said "Eduardo. Just because this is happening, doesn't mean I can't do my normal duties. Stop babying me!" He kept insisting I return with him but I kept refusing him.
At some point, Eduardo must've blown his top as he yelled "Fine. Guess I'll stop caring about whether you get a miscarriage!" He stormed off the ship. I clenched my fists and went back to the kitchen. Before Nathan had the chance to ask me about Eduardo and my earlier conversation, I banged my head against the wall.
I was about to do it once more before Nathan stepped in and put his hand in front of my forehead. I hit his hand and he retracted it soon after, his face contorted in the slightest bit in pain. I gasped and bowed my head profusely, apologizing. Nathan then silently but gently held my arm and dragged me back to Eduardo's room.
I did the same as I did to Eduardo. Sighing, he carried me in his arms and walked to the room. He sat me down on the bed and said "Stay in your room. Don't come out unless it's an emergency." I folded my arms in anger and sat on the bed, clearly unhappy.
Nathan did nothing and he just walked out of the room, getting back to his kitchen. I reflected on what I did and told Eduardo. Indeed, I was a bit unreasonable. I mean, he only meant me well… No, I've got to find Eduardo.
Knowing everyone on the ship heard Eduardo's screaming and would stop me from leaving the ship, I sneaked out. When I achieved my goal, I started looking for Eduardo, wanting to apologize.
I looked around the sweet shop first and saw ( ! )
