My eyes flickered open, I was staring at a white ceiling
"Am I dead?" I thought
I tried to sit up but my wounds complained and forced me back down
"Good morning, honey" Frank said sweetly
"Hi dad"
He was sitting next to me on a brown stool and was holding my hand
"How long was I out?" I asked
"For three days" he replied
"Damn" I mumbled
"What did you say?" Frank asked sternly
"Dad!"
"Your only sixteen!"
"Soooo, I hear sixth-graders say a lot more then damn"
Frank was silent for a moment and then I asked
"So when are they letting me leave?"
"As soon as you can walk again"
"Oh, that's gonna take a while" I sighed "I can't even sit up"
Silence filled the room again, I looked at Frank his eyes were darting back and forth through the room like he was holding something back
"Frank? Is there something you need to tell me?"
"Well this is going to be a little weird" he hesitated "But you didn't just get shot"
"I know, they told me I broke my knuckles too"
"That's not all" he quickly said "Well..... Zee.... you're preg.."
"I'm Prego?"
He laughed but stopped and went on with what he was saying
"Honey, you're pregnant"
"What!" I screamed "You aren't pranking me are you?"
Frank shook his head and I felt my heart sink to my feet
"But Ray and I..." I started
I quickly realized what had really happened
"No" I whispered
"I'm afraid so sweetie" he mumbled
All of life froze, every thought except for the fact that I was pregnant stopped functioning
"How.. How long have I been pregnant?" I asked stammering
"Three months" Frank replied
The bug juice flashed through my mind
"Oh my god" I thought
"Is Ray here?" I asked
"Yeah, he's just in the bathroom"
"Oh okay"
My mind was everywhere but that room, I was just everywhere
"Hey Frank, she up?" Ray asked as he walked in
"Hi Ray" I said calmly
"Did he tell you?"
"Yeah"
Ray sat next to Frank and stroked my hair
"Oh yeah, before I forget" Frank suddenly said
He reached behind him and pulled up a familiar messenger bag
"Where did you get it!" I shouted happily
"An officer gave it to me when you were in intensive care" Frank replied cheerily
"If we ever see that guy again, remind me to give him the hugest hug" I said
"That can be arranged" a man's voice called
A guy came into the room and behind him were three more officers
"Mr. Iero, we need you and your daughter to come with us" he said sternly
"Zee can't walk yet, she isn't allowed to leave the hospital until she can" Ray replied
"Well Mr.Toro, get her a wheelchair, Mr.Iero, Zee, and you need to leave. Right now"
