I was glad that Eric was happy about me being pregnant. But his smile then suddenly changed from a smile to a cringe. He started to cough hard almost doubling over with each cough. He then looked at me looking so tired and pale.
I put my hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. He then caught his breath and then whispered for me to send for Doctor Peters again, he was feeling worse. "There just has to be something he can do." Eric said quietly.
I sent Danny out to get the doctor. I told Eric to try to relax and rest. I went out to the shore. There I saw daddy. I ran to him. He greeted me with open arms and held me tight in a loving embrace. He told me that Sebastian had told him what was going on and once he heard the news he had to come. Daddy didn't say much about the situation, he just continued to hold me in his hug while I sobbed on his shoulder.
A bit of a while later Danny returned with Doctor Peters. The doctor headed inside, but not before saying that he didn't know much of what he could do. But he had a little of hope when he returned to his office and found a medication that he forgot he had. He was unsure if he'd use it cause the medication was new and no one really knew much about it.
He said that it should help reduce the fever in Eric and when he said that I begged him to give it to Eric. Doctor Peters nodded and went into the castle. I stayed outside with daddy. I turned to him and told him the news that I was going to have a baby. He was ecstatic. He shortly then said that he had to go. I nodded and told him that I love him. He gently put his hand on my face telling me that he loved me too and hoped Eric got well soon.
As I was walking up to our room Doctor Peters came out telling me that he had left the medication for Eric. He had administered it to him and told Eric to fetch him again if he got any worse. He also said that Eric needs to get more fluids in him or he would for sure get worse.
I went to kitchen to prepare a little dinner. I ate my dinner alone for the second night. I then took a little something up to Eric. He was sleeping so I put the tray of food on his nightstand. I bend down and kissed him on the forehead. "You can't die on me now." I whispered. Then I quietly left the room.
