Four POV
I wake to a bleeping sound in my ear and all I can think is for the god awful sound to stop but as I try to move pain ripples up my back leaving me to scream out in pain. The beeping sound increases and I open my eyes to see a flurry of people come to my aid.
That when it hits me, I'm in hospital. Tris must have got me out of that hell hole just in time and I mentally thank her.
"Mr Eaton, I'd advise you that you calm down, it may worsen your condition." I do what the nurse says and try to calm down, and as I do I take in my surroundings, I'm a fairly large room and through a small window I can see another patient lying in a bed.
I quickly dismiss the other patient as the nurses start to fuss with my back,
" How long have I been here?" I ask one of the nurses,
" A week."
" N-no I can't have been. It was only last-" I stutter,
" Mr Eaton, you were brought in by the ambulance a week ago in a critical state and therefore you were placed in a medically induced coma to increase the rate of your recovery, your back was just too severely injured."
I take in all the information as the pain in my pack begins to dull and eventually subside as whatever medication the nurse has injected into me begins to work.
"Has my girlfriend been here? Her names Tris Prior." I look up at the nurse but she avoids my eye contact, she instead gives the other nurse a glance. They know something. They know something and they're not telling me.
"She's pregnant, I need to know she's okay." I carefully lie back on my bed as the nurses avoid my question again, I turn my head to look back at the patient I saw earlier, I focus on her face. She has blonde hair just like my beautiful Tris, but bruises cover the side of her face so I can't really see what she looks like. I'm about to look away but then I see June, Tris' foster Mum sitting in the corner huddled with her husband. I look back at the girl and then I see it. The broken bruised body is my Tris.
"Tris." I scream out, "Tris!" June looks up with swollen eyes as I lash out and pull some wire that's in my arm out.
Pain begins to soar through my body and my back begins to feel wet with, "Tris." I scream, I try and get out of bed but doctors rush in and hold me down as sobs rack my body, as I can no longer move I stop trying to fight the doctors and just collapse on my bed in tears, a doctor gives me a solemn look as they release me.
The nurses begin to put the wires I pulled out back in but I don't care.
"Why isn't she moving? Please let me see her. Please." I beg as tears stream down my face, the doctor stands up straight and clenches his clipboard,
"Mr Eaton, Miss Prior has suffered multiple injuries including 3 broken rips, a collapsed lung and severe abominable brushing. It seems Miss Prior was protecting you from Mr Eaton and as a result she was violently attacked, Tris' foster parents were able to restrain him before calling the police."
At the mention of my father my stomach twists and anger rises within me but I try and calm down for the sake of Tris, she needs me.
"What about the baby?" I asked frantically, she may not be biologically mine, by this baby is my daughter and I love her just as much as I love her mother.
"The foetus has suffered some trauma, although it seems the umbilical cord and amniotic sac are still intact so the baby should not be harmed although we will not know until birth." I sigh, she's okay.
Our little one is okay.
