Forever

The Bug

Francis's point of view
I woke up to Mary shaking me. "Francis I can't breath! I can't breath!" She cried "Okay okay okay calm down, just breath." I said "Francis I can't." She yelled "Okay your right I'm sorry but we need to get to the infirmary." I said "No take me to your mother, she'll know what to do." She said "Mary I really think it's safer to take you to the infirmary." I said "Francis take me to your mother." She said "Okay come here." I picked her up, she was crying and panting into my chest. My poor baby. I walked as fast as I could to mothers room. "Francis what are you doing in here?" She asked "Mary can't breath, she wanted to come to you." I said "Lay her down on the bed." She said, I walked over to my mothers bed and laid her down. "Oh my God! She unconscious. Mary baby wake up." I said "Francis back up." She said then pushed me to the side towards the fire place. "Mom what's going on?" I cried "Shh Francis it's okay, it's from all the her stress on top of she has the flu." She said "The flu? Is she going to be okay? Is the baby going to be okay?" I asked "They will both be fine, calm down. She should wake up soon." She said "How soon? A few days? Weeks? It won't be good for either of them if she can't eat!" I said "Francis the baby and your wife will be fine, you just need to stay with her." She said "Mom I can't lose my baby and Mary." I cried "Francis you won't sweetheart, I promise something similar happened when I was pregnant with Claude and I was fine." She said "Could she lose the baby?" I asked "Yes, yes she could." She replied, I walked over to Mary and held her hand. "Baby you need to stay strong for me, for our child. I love you Mary." I said as I kissed her hand and tears fell from my eyes. "Francis it's okay, she just has a little bug, she'll be fine." She said putting her hand on the shoulder. "She's six months pregnant, if something happens to either of them I will never forgive myself." I said "Nothing is going to happen sweetheart, the only thing you can do now is stay by her side." She said "Is there anywhere else you can sleep tonight? I don't want to move her again." I said "Yes I can stay in your father and i's shared chambers." She said "Thank you mom." I said, she smiled then walked out. I got in bed and laid next to Mary. "Your so strong baby and I need to you to keep going and keep fighting, I love you Mary and I can't lose you." I said completely bawling over her. I put my hand on her stomach and my head next to hers, I felt our baby kick. I put Mary's hand on her stomach. "Baby I don't know if you can hear me but our child is still healthy because as always their kicking like no tomorrow, so I want you to know that their okay and you should focus on getting yourself better." I said, she started snoring. I smiled then kissed her forehead and laid down and fell asleep.
Three days later
Mary still hasn't woken up, I'm beginning to be even more worried then I already am. I have been feeling to make sure she is breathing because when she woke me up that night she couldn't breath. The doctors all say she's fine and she will wake up soon but I'm very worried she won't wake up, she still looks beautiful and lively but I can't talk to her. It's killing me. And of course I have been having to work a lot lately but every spare second I have I spend it with Mary. I moved her out of my mothers room and back to our chambers. I'm trying to stay optimistic but it's so hard. I just want her back in my arms. The baby seems like it's still healthy because it's been kicking a lot, I hate to call it an it but I don't know what else to call it. I walked back to my and Mary's chambers and went over to Mary and kissed her forehead and her stomach then I took a bath. After I was done I put my night clothes on and climbed in bed. "Good night baby." I kissed her cheek. "Good night other baby." I smiled then kissed her stomach again. "I love you both so much." I said then fell asleep.
