Probably the last update for the week, college and all keeps me busy. Um...Reviews would be appreciated, and constructive critique. Need incentive to go on when college gets rough.
The brunette reaper had been true to his word when he said he was taking Grell to his home to care for her. Personally, William didn't like hospitals all that much. He did believe they were a good place to be when one needed treatment and specialized care that couldn't be provided at home. He also believed that hospitals created a sense of excessive stress, which Grell didn't need in her condition. He filled out and finished all the necessary paperwork, all that was left was to alert his butler that he needed him to send a carriage to pick Grell up in and bring a fur blanket to wrap Grell in. He left for a few minutes to make the phone-call, while the doctor who was treating Grell had a phone call to make for herself.
Do you know why he's not cooperating?
My assumption is he's just overly concerned, he's a very functional supervisor. It's natural for him to be concerned about his workers.
I see, and the hormonal screenings? Still inconclusive.
We ran them three times when the blood-work came out earlier. There's no doubt, the child inside of Grell Sutcliffe isn't a reaper entirely. William is still refusing to allow us to abort the fetus though.
Disregard what he says, as his superior I demand you take this time to remove that fetus from Grell Sutcliffe's womb. He is away at the moment yes? You can take Grell to the proper room in secrecy, I understand she is unconscious as well?
Yes, she's unconscious and William is away. I'll order the nurses to move Grell to the proper room. If William asks why or acts violently against what you've ordered, I'll simply say Grell took a turn for the worse while he was away and started to miscarry, that the fetus had to be removed swiftly.
Very good then, we cannot allow the shinigami race to be tainted.
"And Bartholomew, have (Fraulein) Matilda prepare the guest bedroom. Grell is in terrible condition and will need a comfortable place to rest,"
William returned from making his call, the line had been held-up by the heavy winds and weather. He had only been gone about ten minutes and he had expected to find Grell still asleep in her bed, ice bags over her feverish body and breaths a tad shallow. She was not in her bed however, the bags had been left behind as well. For a moment he assumed that the staff had moved her to another room to maybe put her in a hot bath, or perhaps she had woken up feeling better and demanding someone get all of the ice off of her. But then he also realized the male nurses who had been around her area were not present, and neither was the wheelchair next to bed. Besides, wouldn't he have heard Grell waking up and complaining about the ice on her body?
His heart skipped a beat. She was in danger, he could feel it in the pit of his stomach. He had to find her!
There was the sound of a heart-rate machine...Beep...Beep...Beep...
"Heart-rate's normal,"
Some glass object had been removed from her mouth, "Temperature had dropped ten degrees, fever is stabilizing,"
"Good, clean off the tools again before we start the procedure, we don't want Ms. Sutcliffe's internal wounds to be infected," it was the doctor!
"Hm..." Grell shook her head, "Husband...? Is that you?"
She tried to move her arms, they were tied above her head. She tried to move her legs, they were propped up and secured, she was tied down! Were they performing surgery? How long had she been it? She knew it was a normal precaution to tie a patient down during surgery, but why wasn't she under anesthetic?
"Ms. Sutcliffe, it's alright," the female physician who had treated her the other day smileD, securing a blanket over her legs, "There's a growth inside you, we need to remove it to make you well,"
"A growth?" Grell slurred, slowly coming to. She blinked a few times, her vision getting more lucid by the minute. Slowly but surely she could see someone sanitizing a few medical tools, a male nurse...There a machine next to him, he was the polishing the end of it which was attached to a large tube. Was it plugged in? Besides that, why wasn't she wearing a hair cap like surgery patients had to do? And why were her legs propped up like she was giving birth? Her heart stopped... No...She began to struggle, "Let me go!"
"Ms. Sutcliffe, please calm down!" another nurse held her down the abdomen.
"You're trying to give me an abortion!" she snarled, "I'm not fucking stupid, let me go!"
"Ms. Sutcliffe," the female doctor started, grabbing the table of medical tools and wheeling it over to her stool-side, "I'm afraid we can't do that. This child was conceived out of wedlock and it's a demon's child. We cannot allow you keep this abomination,"
"You fucking bitch!" Grell screamed, struggling against her restraints, "This child was formed in a union! With a shinigami you fucking retard!"
"Oh, and who is your husband?" she asked with sarcasm lacing her voice.
"I-I cannot say," Grell murmured, "But you can't kill this baby! It's all I've been waiting for..."
"I'm sorry Ms. Sutcliffe, but we must abort," the male nurse handed the vacuum pump to his female superior, "Whether this child was conceived in rape or in wedlock we must kill it. We'll pay for the damages,"
Grell began screaming and thrashing against the table, "I'm not gonna let you kill my baby!"
"Your baby is the property of your superiors, Ms. Sutcliffe, and they want it dead!" she cursed, turning the vacuum on. Grell screamed and thrashed harder, she managed to free a leg. She kicked the doctor in the face, the vacuum pump didn't touch her sacred area at all, it flew across the room. Grell continued to kick and thrash, quickly she brought a cuff to her mouth and began chewing at her leather arm restraints. The nurses quickly grabbed Grell's thrashing limbs, forcing her down as the doctor pulled out a needle, "We'll need to sedate her,"
She pulled out a needle and a vile, she began to fill the syringe with its contents.
"What the hell do you think you're doing to my wife?"
The room stood still, all except Grell who was still thrashing.
