Once she had recovered from the shock, the delight and excitement set in. Although she knew a baby would change their lives radically, she never for one moment suspected that her husband would be anything other than ecstatic about the news.  \nEven now, as she lay in a hospital bed drifting between consciousness and the depths of darkness, his reaction haunted her. Their marriage had been a whirlwind affair, and their relationship tenuous at times. Yet even through all the insecurities of loving Ben she hadn’t been prepared for the truth. He just didn’t love her. It was a bitter twist of fate that she should find out now, when she was just six weeks pregnant.  \nThrough a mist of confusion people were saying her name over and over again, but she was too tired to open her eyes; she just wanted to sleep and sleep into oblivion. The bomb blast that had hit the hospital might have bruised and battered her, but it was nothing compared with the ache deep in her heart.  \nShe opened her eyes once and saw a man standing beside her; he was just a hazy, blurred shadow.  \n‘Ben?’ She murmured his name, her voice sounding strange to her ears.‘Ben?’  \nSomeone called for a nurse; it didn’t sound like Ben’s voice. She closed her eyes, too weak to think any more.  \nWhen she opened her eyes next it was like coming through a thick fog. Then gradually things became clearer and she could see Sister Roberts looking down at her, her expression concerned.‘How are you feeling?’ she asked gently.  \nIt took a moment even to be able to find her voice.‘As if I’ve been run over by a steam train,’ she murmured at last. Her eyes moved past the nurse. She recognised the general care unit where she had worked for the last two  \nyears, though now she was viewing it from a very unfamiliar angle. She tried to sit up, and winced as pain shot through her body.  \n‘Don’t try to move.’ Sister Roberts put a gentle hand on her shoulder.  \n‘I don’t think I can.’ Samantha swallowed rawly. Then her eyes sought the nurse’s anxiously.‘Am I still pregnant? [Is...is](Is...is) my baby all right?’ She held her breath as she waited for the woman to answer.  \nThe sister nodded.‘Perfectly all right...you were very lucky.’  \nA wave of relief washed through Samantha’s body. If Ben had previously given her any doubts about whether or not she wanted this baby, they were gone for ever now.
