I lay in St. Mungo's waiting, the pain had dulled down and they had stopped the bleeding. The doctor's wanted to do a few more tests though. I turn my head slightly, I hadn't said anything since we got there.

"How are you feeling?" I ask her quietly, standing next to the bed.

I close my eyes for a minute. "Been better, been worse."

"Been a lot better by the looks of it." I force a slight smile, "You going to be okay?"

I open my eyes, spotting a healer coming into the room,"Looks like we'll find out."

I take her hand, without really thinking about it, watching the healer walk closer.

I grip his hand,"Healer Smith." I nod.
"Hello Maddie." He smiles,"Okay damage report," He puts down the file. "You've got a broken wrist, two broken ribs, internal bleeding has stopped though, that's a good thing, you had a small concussion but you'll be fine."His smile falters a bit,"But there's something else, I'm not quite sure how to say this..."

I smile slightly, glad she was going to be okay, then stop. "What is it?"

"I'm dying aren't I?" I ask.
He shakes his head, then looks at Ian. "Your going to want to sit down." He looks back at me."Maddie....did you know you were pregnant?" He asks.
I freeze, feeling my face drain."What?" I ask looking down at my stomach.

I sit down heavily, dropping her hand.
I start to speak, then realise I don't have anything to say and shut my mouth again.

"Your not anymore, I'm sorry."
"You mean I'm not...?"
He shakes his head,"No, I'm sorry the baby didn't make it."
When he punched me, that's why it hurt more then it should have.
I nod mutely not having anything to say.

I look at the floor, feeling sick.
"Who did this?" I say calmly to Maddie, still looking determinedly at the floor.

"I'll leave you two alone."
I nod pulling my legs up to my chest.

"Your the one who got me pregnant." I answering knowing full well that wasn't the question he wanted answered.

"I worked that one out, thank you." I say, voice shaking slightly with the effort of keeping it level, "Who did this to you? Who killed the baby?"

"Ian, I really don't want to talk about it right now..."

"So, when are we going to talk about it? Our babies dead, Maddie. I just want to know why."

"Don't say ours." I say quietly,"I didn't even want a baby..."

"Well, it happened. I didn't either. But it happened and it was ours and now it's dead."

"Shut up." I say covering my ears."Shut up, just shut up."

I shut up, falling silent, still looking determinedly at the floor.

I sit up a bit, his back to me. I wrap my arms around his neck resting my chin on his shoulder."I'm sorry." I whisper.
