Awake for almost an hour now, Nina could barely move. Her body ached, but nothing could surpass the ache in her heart. Tears stung her eyes as she tried to comprehend what had happened. She couldn’t believe what the doctor told her. But the pain she felt at his cruel words was common to what she’d felt the day her first baby’s life had been sucked out of her body.

“You can lay here for a little while, dear. Don’t worry about getting up until you feel better.”

Nina wanted to ask the nurse how long does feeling better take? When do you get over killing someone you were supposed to protect?

Tears of regret and anger trickled down her face as she clutched her empty stomach. How had she allowed herself to be talked into aborting her baby?

She was no better than her mother. But, at least her mother brought her into this world before discarding her. Maybe she was worse than the woman who left her on the doorsteps of Children’s Services and never looked back.

A scream escaped from the curtain-divided room Nina had just left. What’s wrong with these people? Don’t they take time to clean up the blood from the previous patient? Or do they just let it dry on their hands. She wanted to yank those curtains open, take that woman’s legs off those stir-ups, and tell her to run. Get out before it’s too late. Before they suck your baby out of you. And, and ...

Her hand covered her mouth as sobs of regret escaped. What had her baby been? Should she have bought pink ribbons or blue shirts with sail boats on them? She’d never know. Life had been just that cruel.
