She's got me twisted. // B i l l i e E i l i s h

Chapter 18 /// Part 5

Trigger warning in this chapter. I'll mark it ok?

"Billie? You wanna come on in?"

The two girls were at a private clinic that Zach had reccomended to Levi when she told him what was going on. Levi now wishes she waited a couple of months because 'auntie Zach' had already started buying gifts.

"Hello, I'm Dr Hanson, you must be Billie, and you Levi?" The older gentiment asked in a soft voice. "Now Levi, you sent me over your file, so whilst we have your details we're going to do a few tests in a couple of weeks on your sperm count to check for any abnormalities considering you are quite a rare case." Levi nodded in response. "In the meantime, let's check out what's going inside you, Billie. May I call you Billie?

Levi had to bite her lip at how weird he chose to word that sentence and knowing her girlfriend is probably internally laughing at the same thing.

"Ok, Billie, if you wanna just hop on here for me, lift up your shirt to expose your belly please, darling."

Billie did as she was told. After lifting up her t shirt to expose her flat stomach she blindly reached around to find Levi's hand, giving it a sharp squeeze when she found it.

Dr Hanson proceeded to squirt some gel onto Billie's stomach and used the wand to run across the surface of the skin making Billie hiss in response at the sudden cold temperature on her skin. After a few seconds Dr Hanson hummed to himself lowly, quickly gaining the attention of the two girls.

Levi felt her muscles become tense, unsure what was taking the Doctor so long. Lifting up the hand Billie was holding up to her mouth she placed a kiss on the back of the girls hand.

"Ok." He said as he glanced across to the two. He hesitated briefly before he began speaking again. "Girls, have you ever heard of an ectopic pregnancy?" He asked whilst keeping his eyes glued on the screen before pressing a few buttons and placing the wand back on the stand. Neither girl responded, neither one of them being able to form words. "I'm so sorry...but the egg isn't viable."

*Trigger Warning - Talking about eptopic pregnancy.*

"What?" Levi was the first to mutter. "I don't understand."

Dr Hanson went to open his mouth to explain but was cut off by Levi.

"No I understand, I know what it is. I just don't..."Levi raised her voice slightly. Unsure how to deal with the wave of emotions that's hit her.

Billie squeezed Levi's hands. "Baby I don't get it." Billie mumbled as she looked at her girlfriend, confusion on her face as she's not fully absorbing what's happening.

Levi made eye contact with Dr Hanson who nodded at her, signalling that Levi can explain.

The older girl took in a big breath to compose herself before bending down so she was as close to Billie as she could be. "Baby, you've had an ectopic pregnancy...it means that the egg is not inside the womb...it's on the outside. When that happens..." Levi paused as she squeezed Billie's hand. "When that happens it means that the egg can't be saved...it's not viable. It means we lose the baby."

Billie stared into Levi's eyes, not truly knowing how to act. How are you meant to act?

"What do we do?" Was the first question she asked. Levi looked over to Dr Hanson for help at this point, not knowing how to answer this question.

The Dr nodded and turned handed Levi a paper towel so she can assist Billie in wiping off her stomach. "We're gonna give you an injection in the muscle, it's called methotrexate, that will stop the pregnancy growing."
