Chapter 60

• I was getting tired of this. I couldn’t take it anymore. The constant black outs and nausea was becoming too much for me to handle. Ash was right, and they were doing more than killing me, they were annoying the hell out of me but they were my children what else could I do?
• I sat on the patio swing, watching the sunset under the tall trees. After a day and a half of holding my head over the toilet puking out all the blood Joe had administered into me through an IV and away from Ash’s hysterias, these few moments felt like paradise to me. Ann and Maria were seated with me talking about the latest hot movie star while keeping an eye on me. No one wanted to leave me alone now that I was finally feeling the effect of the pregnancy. Joe and my dad were in the house, preparing for the C-Section, which they always did in anticipation of the fifth pain and any other problems that were bound to occur. With Ash gone, Dad was my space heater.
• Ash had left angry with me for not doing what he wanted. He decided to put his breath and strength to better use. He and Billy were off hunting Sabrina and Baku with Eri’s help. I was glad we would finally put the nightmare to bed, and then I would finally have Ash to myself; at least the part that wasn’t mad at me, which is probably a quarter of him.
