Nico was incredibly aware of the beeping of machinery and the steady murmur of what just might have been a prayer. She made a groggy noise and the prayer stopped. “Nico?”
“Victor?” she asked, trying to open her eyes and finding something wrapped around her head. “What-?”
A cool hand wrapped around hers. “There was an explosion. Do you remember?”
“I - yeah. Tommy-”
“He’s still out of it. It’s been almost a week. We’re in the Tower.”
“It hurts,” she whispered.
“Hold on, I’ll adjust your medication.” Victor started to pull his hand away, but Nico gripped it tighter.
“Can’t. Might hurt the baby.”
A tense silence filled the room, and Victor’s fingers tightened around Nico’s.
“My baby?”
“I’m sorry.” Victor brought her hand up to his cheek, and she could feel the warm tears there. “I’m so sorry.”
Nico stared at the darkness in front of her eyes as Victor whispered pointless apologies.
