Not my best work which I am really sorry about! Updates may become a little shorter over the next couple of days, I have a lot of school work to do. D: Please review
"JT! I NEED YOU!" I burst through the doors of the warehouse, carrying Catherine's limp body.
It had all happened so fast, the pain had started again and she was curled up. I tried to get her to listen to me and relax, the moment I tried to hold her close she let out a roar. A roar I recognised all too well, I recoiled back in a mixture of horror and surprise. Her eyes had gone this funny colour, it wasn't the gold mine went; it was more of a shiny copper. Catherine let out a whimper, before her eyes turned back to normal.
"Catherine…..CAT?!" Cat fell unconscious, face forward onto the bed. I rolled her into the recovery position, checking her airwaves and heart rate. Both were normal, I checked if there was any blood; luckily there was none! Okay Vincent calm down! I need to figure out a plan, the hospital is off as they would ask what happened. I can't really say my girlfriend beasted out! JT was the only answer, I scooped Catherine gently into my arms; I carried her down the stairs and into the car and made my way to JT's.
"Oh hi Vincent, I'm fine thanks; Wha…What happened to her?!" JT ran over and surveyed her
"JT she somewhat beasted!" I carried her up the stairs to my old bed and placed her down gently, in to the recovery position checking her airwaves and pulse again. I pulled my eye light out of jean pocket and checked if her pupils were responsive, what shocked me was that her eyes had gone that copper again.
"JT come look!" JT came round to where I was standing and looked at Catherine's eyes before sighing and rubbing his face. I gently let Catherine's eyelid go before looking at JT desperately, if there was anyway who could think of a solution it was him! JT looked back at me with a blank stare before walking away over to the medicine drawer; he drew out several needles of different sizes. I watched him with curious eye's
"I'm gonna need to take some samples of amniotic fluid….I need to test it" I stared at him in horror, he was right though. Blood tests showed nothing, they tested for everything possible yesterday and there were no abnormalities. If we were going to find anything out it was through the amniotic fluid.
Fifteen minutes later, JT was holding the ultrasound on Catherine's stomach; I took a deep breath as I inserted the needle; watching carefully on the machine not to poke the foetus. The needle tip entered just enough for my liking. I drew the fluid slowly making sure not to cause an air bubble. I withdrew this needle before inserting another one and withdrawing more fluid. My hands were sweating and shaking as I withdrew the last needle.
As I breathed a sigh of relief that it was over, Catherine sat up slowly rubbing her stomach, her eyes were there normal beautiful colour. She leant over to the bed side table and picked up her glass of water taking a sip. JT had already taken the samples over to the make shift lab, I went and sat down by Cat taking her arm and putting a blood pressure cuff on her, I began to squeeze the pump.
"Is all this really necessary?" Cat winced as the cuff became too tight I stopped pumping
"Yes, you somewhat beasted Cat. We need to figure out what's going on and see if we can get a handle on it. Blood pressure normal and so is heartbeat." I took the cuff off her arm and heard JT scribble down what was needed.
"I feel fine now Vincent really." I kissed her forehead and stroked her hair.
"I know…Any idea what might be causing it? Like how were you feeling before it happened?" Catherine suddenly looked a little sheepish, I watched her intently taking her hand and stroking it.
"Cat tell me…" Catherine wouldn't look at me she was starting to get tearful, I moved closer to her and pulled her into me, she began crying properly. I pulled her onto my lap and began to rock her, the only sound was the soft sobbing of Cat and JT tapping away on his laptop and the machines whirring away.
She sniffed lifting her face to look up at me.
"I was angry one second then the next I had the pain….. and I had these thoughts... I wanted to kill you Vincent. I actually wanted to kill you. The feeling was overwhelming and so intense. I thought I would." Her voice cracked, I stared at her not knowing what to say. JT was looking over in amazement, Catherine buried her face in my chest, and trying to reassure her I kissed her forehead.
"It's okay Cat it's not your fault, baby…..It's not your fault"
The next few hours were tense, me and Cat were sat in the kitchen she was having to eat which was something. We heard a cheer from JT from upstairs he came bounding down the stairs looking almighty proud of himself.
"I cracked it" He beamed staring at us, almost like he was waiting for us to cheer.
"So what's happening to her JT?"
"The fluid around the baby is completely normal….. Except for one thing that shouldn't be there."
"Spit it out JT" Cat sighed rubbing her face
"There was a hair, I compared it to Vincent's and well. The baby is actually beasting out inside of you. She is transforming within you…..Oh crap."
I stared at Catherine who was now grinning from ear to ear, she looked at me and somehow her smile got even wider.
"It's a girl, were having a little girl."
"Did you not hear what JT just said…..Or do you just choose to ignore him." I was exasperated, did she not care about the effect the baby was having on her. JT interjected before I could say anything.
"That was the good news anyway, now here is the bad. If the baby keeps transforming within you, do you know how you've had those thoughts about killing Vin and the eye changing. As you are babies lifeline and are sharing pretty much everything at the moment. If the baby keeps beasting, Cat, I think you will turn into a beast yourself."
"How?" I asked looking worriedly at Catherine.
"The surge of hormones, come on Vincent! Think when you beast; it's due to a surge of hormones aka adrenocorticotropic the one that causes anger. Whatever the hormone causing this flows round Catherine, baby receives them and bam. Baby beast happens. This is the puzzling part now, the beast hormones flow from baby and get into Catherine's blood stream, causing her to become slightly beastly. If this continues to happen and if she is exposed to it often enough, your body will store the hormone as it won't know what to do with it, causing you to transform."
JT sat down next to Catherine looking over at me, I was a little perplexed as to how it wasn't picked up last night in the blood test.
"JT they did every possible screening on Cat's blood last night and they picked nothing abnormal up"
"Well duh…. There wasn't enough off the hormones to be detected on a screening yesterday. I think the reasons your eye's turned tonight Cat is because of the build up. There was about a span of 12 hours between each attack. You had the pain yesterday and the thoughts. Today the pain, thoughts and the eyes. Tomorrow who knows, we just need to find a trigger; and th…
"It's anger. Each time it happened I was angry at Vincent." She looked over at me, I had to look away I was responsible for what was happening to her. Even when I was human I was still a monster, I was hurting her without meaning to.
I needed to save her from this; she didn't deserve to become the monster I was.
