Day 27

Danielle watched with puzzlement on her face when Abby came into the room
with Avid. "Abby, where is Trap?" she asked. "Is he so mad at me for not
remembering him before, that he doesn't want to see me?" Danielle looked
at her sadly.

Avid was pacing around the room slightly, an occasional growl coming from
his throat. Danielle looked at him strangely. He had never acted that way
before. 

Abby answered Danielle. "He was gone from the warren when you came to. He
just got back. He's going to have to do a few things, then he'll be in to
see you."

Danielle frowned, not quite sure whether Abby was telling ehr the whole
truth. "Please tell him I need him...besides, I want to go home." she
complained.

"Maybe tomorrow...I want to watch you one more day." Abby said.

Danielle looked dejected. "but..."

"No buts...I don't want you having a relapse." Abby said. "I am gonna go
now. I'll send Trap in as soon as he can be here." Abby did not tell her
that there was another reason for her to possibly stay...in case she was
infected with a hellspawn.

Danielle nodded and settled back on the cot.

---------------------------------------------------
*A little later*

Danielle was getting a bit antsy. Someone had brought her her knitting,
but even that did not seem enough to keep her busy. She threw it aside. At
that moment, in walked Trap and Abby.

"Trap!" Danielle said, running up and throwing her arms around him.

He hugged her tightly, almost as though he never wanted to let her go
again.

"Where have you been?" she pouted slightly." I thought maybe you didn't
want me anymore after I forgot what we meant to each other."

He hugged her again. "Oh no, my Dallie...I could never not want you. I
love you so much."

"Then where were you? she asked.

He glanced at Abby then led Danielle back over to the cot where they sat
down. "we have something we have to talk to you about."

Danielle looked worried. "Whats wrong?"

They then told her about how Trap had been held and the implications
behind what he had found out. 

"So, thats why you weren't here." Danielle said. She squeezed his hand.

"Danielle, there is something you need to know as well." Abby said. "There
may be one of the hellspawn inside you. It appears Blaze may have been
reinfected." She looked at Danielle.

"The baby!" Danielle's hand went to her abdomen protectively. "Will it
hurt the baby?"

"No, the baby is safe. It will continue to eat at you from the inside
though." Abby looked at her. We have to open you up and check to
see...remove it if its there."

"And what will happen to the baby then?" Danielle said.

"We would have to remove it....and hopefully its strong enough to survive
right now." Abby said "Although, with you only about 6 months along, thats
very risky."

Danielle thought for a moment and then turned to Trap. He looked at her.
"You have to do it, Dallie. It could kill you if its there."

"And if I have the surgery, it could kill the baby whether or not its
there." she said. "No..." she said.

"What? Both Trap and Abby said in unison.

"I said, no...I am not risking my babys life when we don't even know for
sure if I am infected." Danielle said. "And thats final."
