Woman: I've spent four years hating you. Man: Go to bed. Woman: Don't you think that I am going to kill you? Man: Quit talking trash! Woman: All right, I don't think you'll be doing much sleeping. You'll be sitting up xxxxxxxx , afraid that you could fall asleep. I cannot make out if the word that goes instead of "xxxxxxxxx" is worry, worried or worrying? Which one fits best? Are all of them correct in this context? I tend to think that worrying fits best here (it implies continuity), but I am not sure because I don't hear the "ing" ending in the audio.
