When Lily didnât object Otto took his phone from his pocket. He hoped he was right. He hoped that if he could explain his thoughts and feelings to Lily it would help her to understand that the issue hadnât been that he didnât care but that he hadnât known how to help her. He was hoping he could help her now.
Heâd come past the house without warning, needing to check on her, but unsure of his reception. When sheâd opened the door he could see sheâd been crying but getting her to open up was proving more and more difficult. Despite the counselling sessions she still kept her cards close to her chest. He thought perhaps if he went first, if he exposed his vulnerabilities, she might be able to do the same.
He poured her a second, smaller glass of wine and began talking.
âThe other day, in Helenâs office, you said that our problems started when you got pregnant. That surprised me. I didnât think that was the turning point. In my mind it was when we lost the baby. The first thing I had to do when Helen gave us that homework was to work out where to start so I listened to you and went back to the day you told me you were pregnant.â
They hadnât been in London very long, just a few weeks, and they were still finding their feet when Lily had delivered her news. Otto could still remember how shocked heâd been and he knew he hadnât reacted as Lily had hoped.
âWe were still both settling into our new routines, new jobs, a new flat. We were working long hours and getting used to the lack of sunshine at the beginning of an English winter. Iâm not making excuses, just acknowledging that we had a lot going on. We were already dealing with a lot of changes and I admit, when you showed me the pregnancy test youâd done, my first thought was, This is too soon and I know I didnât hide that thought very well. At all well. It was clearly written on my face.
âYou accused me of not wanting the baby and that wasnât true. I wasnât happy about the timingââ theyâd agreed to wait until heâd finished his training, until they had established their careers ââand I was worried about how weâd manage. I was going to be working long hours and studying on top of that. We were away from home, away from your siblings, away from any of our support networks. It was going to be tough.
âI knew you were excited and I knew you wanted me to be excited too and I knew you were upset with me because it was obvious that I wasnât. I was scared.â
âScared?â
He nodded. âI didnât know how we were going to manage. I had all sorts of thoughtsâsome were premature, I admit. My head went straight to the nine months ahead. How would we cope? We had no help. Weâd be down an income.
