Chapter Seven

Dia gradually came to and opened eyelids that felt like they had hundred-pound weights holding them closed. Dim lighting let her slowly focus on a window with nothing but clear blue sky on the other side of it. Haltingly, she took in the room around her and remembered where she was: the hospital. Flashes of a memory of waking up here before started to play in her mind.

A doctor telling her she had been in an accident.

Besides having a splitting headache, she didn’t feel sore, so what kind of accident had she been in?

Overhearing the nurse say something to the doctor about her parents being killed in an explosion.

Pain and confusion swamped her emotions. Her parents were dead? She didn’t even remember having parents, but that didn’t stop her chest from hurting at the knowledge that they were dead and she would never meet them or get to know them. It was bad enough that she didn’t know who she was, but now that she knew her parents were dead, there was a chance there would be nobody alive to tell her these things. What if she had no other family?

A fast beeping from one of the monitors she was hooked up to started to speed up, so Dia looked over at the machines. It wasn’t her heart monitor, she could easily see that number. It was a high number, but there seemed to be no sound to it at the moment. She kept looking until she found another monitor with a second heartbeat, and that was when the last of her flashbacks hit her like a ton of bricks.

You’re safe here, Miss Connor. I need you to try to calm down. It’s not good for the baby for you to be this upset.

Holy Moses on the mountain, was she freaking pregnant?

The shock of that possibility immobilized her. Dia didn’t know what to think or what to say. Wait, who was she going to say something to, anyway? Her baby? It wasn’t like she knew anyone else right now. Hell, the only reason she knew her name was because the doctor had told her what it was. That made the shock of a pregnancy all the more unsettling because she had no idea who the father was.

Looking down at her waist, she was really concerned not to see an obvious baby belly bulge there. She had a slightly rounded tummy, but that was more of her body shape than a baby bump, she thought. It was obvious from looking down at her ample chest and hips that she had a curvy figure. So if she was pregnant, she must not be very far along, right?

Just then, a woman in a blue uniform came through her door. She was pushing a cart with a food tray on it. “Oh, good, you’re awake in time for lunch.”

Dia stared at the cheerful woman, not knowing what to say. Not that the nurse seemed to mind. The woman just pushed her cart up
