[pendulous threads]

GUESS WHAT!? Here is more...I was in a hurry though, so it might not be as good as I hoped it would be.

Chapter Nineteen: I Love You

Cliff put his hands under the tree and struggled to lift it. He got it up a little more, but not enough for me to get out from under it. The tree was crushing me and I knew I would die if I stayed under it much longer. Cliff pulled really hard and finally got it so I could get out. I slowly slid myself out from under the tree. The pain was unbearable and I screamed when I moved. Cliff dropped the tree on the ground and rushed over to me.

"I'm going to get you to the clinic." he said urgently. He lifted me into his arms and started to walk down the path, trying to fight the wind. "You will be okay." But the look on his face showed that he wasn't so sure about that. Tears started running down his face again, and he bit his lip trying to hold the rest back.

I started crying myself, from the pain. It felt as if I had just been sliced in half with a sickle! Cliff trudged along, and we soon entered the town. Popuri was also walking along a path, trying to make her way home. We soon came to the clinic but the door was locked.

"Doc, Elli!" Cliff yelled. He kicked the door with his foot. "Open up the door. It's an emergency. Melody is hurt!" The door didn't open so Cliff kicked it three more times. Finally Doc opened the door and Cliff rushed in. Elli came over and instructed Cliff to set me on the bed. He did as he was told and was forced out of the examination area.

"No, I want to stay with her!" he argued. "Let me in!" Doc blocked the way and glared at him.

"I need you to stay out. Please wait over there." he pointed to the couches in the next room and Cliff put his hands on his hips.

"I'm staying with her!" he tried to push Doc out of the way. "Let me stay with her! I need to be with Melody!" Doc pushed him over to the couches and pushed Cliff onto one. He then ran back into the room and slammed and locked the door. I could hear Cliff banging on it, yelling for him to open it. Elli put her hand on my stomach and I let out a scream.

"Oh my, it seems to be her stomach Doc!" Elli cried. "Melody what happened?"

"A tree..." I gasped. "It fell on me." I let out another scream in pain as Doc put his hand on my stomach. He quickly took me over to get X-rays.

Once the results were in, Doc came over to me. He frowned and examined the X-rays.

"Okay, you will be fine. You will have to stay here for about a week, but that is all." Doc said. "Turns out you have 2 broken ribs. You were very lucky. You could have been paralysed." I sighed, and smiled.

"Is it okay if Cliff comes in now?" I asked anxiously. He shook his head and replied, "You had better get some rest first." I glared at him. "LET ME SEE HIM NOW!" Doc looked quite startled and left the room. A couple seconds later Cliff walked in. He looked tired, and like he had been crying.

"God Mel, will you be okay?" he came over and knelt beside the bed. He grasped my hand and rested his hand other hand on my cheek.

"Yeah, just a couple broken ribs." I answered. "Doc said I would have to stay here for about a week before I could go home." Cliff nodded and pursed his lips together.

"Mel, a thousand things were going through my head as I was waiting out there. I was so confused, hurt, and worried at the same time, and I didn't know what to do or expect." he choked out. "I couldn't imagine anything worse than losing you. God, I was so scared. Why do you keep on fighting for my life? I should be the one in that bed right now."

"Because I love you Cliff. Can't you see that? Can't you see how much I love you?" I cried. Tears ran down my cheeks and I looked up into his eyes. "If I lost you, my life wouldn't be worth living anyways. I'm so sorry about Richard, I never meant anything I said to him 3 years ago, Cliff. God, I regret so much of my past, I can't even explain it. But now, I look back at my past, and I am happy about everything that happened." Cliff shook his head.

"Why would you be happy about everything in the past?" he asked.

"Because the things that happened to me, have strengthened me." I answered. "And if none of that would have happened, you wouldn't be in my life right now." he smiled and leaned down so we could enjoy a kiss. Once we were done kissing he looked me in the eyes.

"I'm so sorry I never told you how much I loved you." he whispered. "I never told you, never expressed it, I never did anything. But right now, I'm telling you. I love you so much, Mel. I don't care if you had a lousy boyfriend named Richard. I don't care whatever happened in the past. Right now I'm telling you I love you." I smiled at him, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

[Firehead]

Thats a good chapter! I cant wait for the next!

[pendulous threads]

Okay, cool. I will get writing in a little bit. ^_^

[pendulous threads]

Okay, here it is. And I would like to thank Riku for the great idea's!

Chapter Twenty: Surprise[/u]

"Morning Cliff." I yawned as I woke. It has been about 4 days since the accident and I'm feeling better.

"Morning Mel!" he answered happily from across the room. "How are you feeling today?" I smiled, hinting that I was doing fine. He came over to me and took my hand. "Only 3 more days until you can go home!"

"Um, I'm afraid we will have to expand that time." Doc said, stepping into the room. "Melody's ribs are not heeling as quickly as they should be. We also found something on the X-ray. She may have cancer in her stomach."

"What?" I said. I couldn't believe it. Cancer? Me? "Are you sure about that Doc?" He shook his head.

"No we aren't positive." he replied. "We will need to do an ultra sound to figure it out. Please Cliff if you would just leave the..."

"Get me a trash can!" I screamed at Doc. He looked startled at first, and then grabbed the trash can outside the room and handed it to me. I then put my head in it and threw up. Once I was done I felt dizzy, and I looked at Cliff and Doc. "Okay...I'm ready for the ultra sound now." Cliff left and Elli joined Doc and I in the room.

"Hmm..." Elli said, deep in thought. "I don't think that is cancer. Look there are two." I looked at the screen in confusion and so did Doc and Elli.

"I-I think she's pregnant." Doc told Elli. "Yes, she is. With twins."

"TRASH CAN!" I screamed again. Elli grabbed it and gave it to me. "Stupid sickness..." I mumbled as I lifted my head from the trash can.

"Congratulations Melody, you are going to have twins!" Elli chirped. "It's a miracle that they survived that tree that fell on you. This is wonderful..."

"Yeah, sure, whatever." I mumbled. What was going through my head was, How will I tell Cliff? What will he think? WE AREN'T EVEN MARRIED YET! Doc called Cliff back in but I turned in my bed so I was facing the wall.

"So are you going to be okay?" he asked. "Was it cancer?"

"I'm going to be fine, and no it's not cancer." I answered. Cliff came over and sat at the edge of my bed.

"So, what was it then?" he asked.

"I don't know..." I sighed. "I need some sleep, okay? Can we please talk about it in the morning?" He nodded and kissed my cheek. Once he left the room I just laid there, thinking. Doc's words rang out through my head. 'I-I think she is pregnant. Yes, she is. With twins.'

Suddenly I felt sick again and realized there was no trash can laying around. I slid off the bed, and ran for the first time in 4 days. It ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet. Once I left the bathroom Cliff was standing there.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked again. "You sure are getting sick a lot. Do you have the flu, or something?"

"No, Cliff. I'm fine, I just need sleep!" I said angrily. He backed away. And I turned and went back into the other room.

"Control your mood swings Melody..." I told myself as I laid back down in bed. "Control yourself." I laid there for another moment. "Dang, I sure am hungry."

[pendulous threads]

Thank you. ^_^ It was Riku's idea though.

[Firehead]

Yez! My ideas are put to work!

That was good BTW!

[pendulous threads]

Thank you. ^_^ Here is more...

Chapter Twenty-one: Food

I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and sat up. I held my stomach and groaned, "So hungry..."

"I brought you some breakfast!" Cliff said happily, entering the room with a tray of food. He set in down on the table near my bed, and I started to shove the foor into my mouth. "Mel, slow down, you might choke." Cliff laughed. I finished, and was still hungry.

"Still hungry..." I groaned. Cliff looked surprised and walked out of the room to get me more food from the clinics kitchen. He came back with about everything in the refriderator. "FOOD!" I said happily. I ate all the food and Cliff watched with his eyes widened.

"Holy crap." he said. "You must have been really hungry."

"I sure was." I mumbled. I laid back down on the bed, and sighed. "Cliff, will you get me some ice cream?" He looked disturbed and he walked over to me.

"But you ate a lot already..." he started.

"GET ME SOME ICE CREAM YOU IDIOT!" I yelled. I smiled sweetly and he ran back into the kitchen yelling, "Yes ma'am!" He came back in about a minute with the ice cream, and a sthingy. He handed them to me and I started to eat the ice cream.

"Ah, I feel so much better!" I chirped after I finished off the ice cream. Cliff sat in a chair across the room and laughed nervously. Elli walked in and noticed all the empty plates and put her hands on her hips.

"Melody! You ate all our food! You are gonna get so fat!" She winked and then looked over at Cliff. "Aw, looks like she's using you as a slave." Elli shrugged and walked over to me. She handed me two pills and a glass of water. "Those are for the sickness, my dear. Take care!" She then walked out of the room leaving Cliff and I in there.

Suddenly Karen and Popuri rushed in and came over to me.

"How are you feeling?" Karen asked, kneeling down beside my bed. "Are you better?"

"I'm feeling fine." I replied. "I feel so much better. Now that I ate all the food anyways."

"God, what a pig!" Popuri said observing the empty plates.

"I AM NOT A PIG, YOU COW!" I yelled. Popuri looked taken aback and then she smiled and came over to me. "That reminds me, Cliff, GO CHECK ON THE COW!" He ran from the room and I heard the door slam as he left the clinic.

"Is there anything you want to tell us?" Popuri asked, grinning widely. "Anything at all?" I looked around and Elli walked in the room.

"I know something you don't..." she teased Karen and Popuri.

"ELLI, SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!" I yelled. Elli giggled and walked out of the room.

"A lot of food, mood swings..." Karen mumbled. "OH MY GOD! Your going to be a mother! I'm so happy for you!" Popuri and Karen started squealing and I just rolled my eyes.

"To twins, but you can't tell anyone." I said. "Cliff doesn't know yet. I don't know how I'm going to tell him. I don't know what he will do! We aren't even married yet!" Cliff walked into the room and we all fell quiet.

"Hey, Mel, the cow is fine." he stated. I smiled and sighed.

[pendulous threads]

Lol, yeah he is. I bet any guy would be. ^_^ She was all nice and stuff before the tree fell on her and now she's screaming at him for food...yeah, he's pretty confused.

[Firehead]

Whats a sthingy? It says sthingy
Other than that....awesome! I like the part "The cow is fine" as the last sentance.

[pendulous threads]

I know...I type the story on my website and it blocked off the word and when I re-read it on there I started cracking up and realized I posted it like that on here. It was supposed to say spoon. ^_^
