Soulless
"Say AH!" said a black man with a wooden stick in his gloved hand
I glared at him as I open my mouth and did what he said. Naveen watched with worried eyes as he stuck that stick down my throat. I gagged but I managed not to throw up. When he retreated the stick I slam my mouth shut. I could hear Naveen's chuckles on the side of me. If I could see him I would glare at him too but the doctor was the subject of my hatred for right now.
"Tiana, have you been eating right?"
I gave a nod. Then his demeanor changed as he took a look at Naveen then looked back at me. He opened his mouth but closed it back; pressing his full lips together and making it appear as a small thin line. His hazel eyes looked at me with questions and it started to bother me.
"What is it Doctor?" I asked with confusion
The bald man that stood before me looked over at Naveen then back at me again. Now that I think about it I've seen expressed like that before. Disgust. Did he have a problem with Naveen because he was a different race then me?
"Do you have a Problem with Naveen?" I shouted at him
Naveen stood up from his seat and glared at the man. The doctor twisted his face and snarled,
"I can't stand men who beat up on their wives!"
My eyes widen and I was sure Naveen did the same. I opened my mouth to say something but I couldn't find the right words to express it. I looked over at Naveen and he looked horrified. The doctor tugged at the end of my green colored dress to reveal a big purple and blue bruise on my ankle.
"What?" I chocked out, "How?"
The doctor shook his head, "It's such a shame…"
"I WOULD NEVER HURT TIANA!" shouted Naveen, "I love too much to hurt her! I'll kill myself before I even think about hitting her!"
I ran to the mirror at the corner of the room and gulped. My hands started shaking as I placed my fingers at the rim of my dress, slowly pulling up it up to reveal more bruises. But the most disturbing one was in shape of a hand on my flat stomach. I looked down and started to keep myself from screaming.
'Where on God's green earth did I get these?' I screamed in my head as I ran my fingers on each bruise.
My skin felt a bit rough but it wasn't much of a difference but when I felt my stomach I swore I felt something in there touching my hand. I fell to my knees and buried my face in my hands let out sobs, wondering if I was finally going crazy. Naveen would never hurt me but maybe I was sleepwalking and hurt myself.
'Why are you dodgin the answer if ya'll know it's there?'
I clamped my hands over me and closed my eyes. Praying that I really was going crazy. Please God just let me be crazy!
'God isn't here Tiana. Just me.'
Naveen's Pov
I stood by the door leaning against the door way as I watched Tiana sleeping. After the doctor fiasco I thought she should have a break. My mind was still reeling about what happened.
'How did she get those bruise?'
Whatever was happening scared me. One of my biggest fears was not being able to protect her and here I was…helpless. I took my eyes off her and stared at the lights that passed the window by our bathroom door, which was just a few feet from the bed. When I looked back at her there was a man standing over her with a finger over his lips. I ran over to her but the man disappeared. Then I heard a knock on the window. When I turned I saw red letters appear out of nowhere, spelling
I-t-s-a-b-o-y.
"It's a boy?"
