I am oh God Candace please it’s so painful.  I am 3 months pregnant I am so worried about losing it.  I dont want to lose this one Candace, please. She said that and burst into fits of tears. 

Candace was panicking now she started to cry too and cursed Dodger over and over again, at the same time.  Candace was scared, very scared for her young friends life and for the baby’s life too.  She thought by looking at her, that her friend would actually need a miracle to survive this one.  She was looking very battered and bruised and she probably has some broken bones too.  It was obvious that she was in a lot of pain too.

Candy:  Bastard, jerk, monster.  Candace shouted again.

Babe dont worry I am going to help you I promise.  Stay cool babe.  Just keep calm the help is on its way.

Candace looked at her friend and was so terrified for her.  She was praying in her heart.

Please god; please dont let her lose the baby.  Shed suffered so much.  Shed already lost a lot in her life, please god, please just this time let her have something happy in her life.

10 minutes later, Candace heard the knock on the door and rushed to open the door. 

Candy:  Over here please.  Hurry shes in a lot of pain.  Shes been beaten badly.  Please hurry.  Oh and she told me to tell you that she was pregnant too.

The paramedics rushed to her side and bent down to assess her situation.  They started to work on her straight away.

Lady can you hear me?  Can you open your eyes?  Dont move; just touch my finger if you can.  How far along are you?  Lady can you hear me.

Come on hurry I think we are losing her.  She has a very weak pulse; we have to get her out of here, the young paramedic told his partner while he was getting her ready for IV.

Mam, whats your name?  Are you her friend?  Do you know how far along she is?

Candace looked at him with worried eyes.  She hesitated and said.

Candy:  Yes I do, she just told me.  She is 3 months pregnant.  Ive only knew now, she just told me, I didnt know myself.  I cant be sure though.  But please you have to help her.  She doesnt want to lose the baby.  Please do something.  Oh and I am Candace her neighbour.
