The nurse called me in a bit later as the doctor was talking to Jenna. He explained she’d had a miscarriage. She was probably nine weeks along from what he could estimate. Jenna cried silently, tears were just streaming down her face. She squeezed my hand and kind of half-croaked, half-whispered, “Ask him. Ask him if I made this—”

“Doctor, she wants to know if this happened because she didn’t get prenatal care soon enough.”

He was kind and fatherly. “No dear. That had nothing to do with it. It’s not as uncommon as you would think. And it should have no bearing on whether or not you’ll be able to conceive in the future.”

Jenna squeezed her eyes shut and nodded.

As the doctor was finishing up, talking to her about setting up a follow-up appointment and birth control options, I looked up to see Dan leaning against the doorway. He had tears streaming down his face. When I saw him I started crying too. I squeezed Jenna’s hand and kissed it as he walked over. I got off the bed and Dan took my place. He wrapped her up in his arms and kissed the top of her head as they both cried together.

I needed to go. Jenna had the person she needed with her now and I had to get Beth’s car back before anyone noticed anything. I walked out as the sky was just starting to get light.

There he was. I was relieved to see him on one hand and also just exhausted at the thought of having to go nine rounds with him right now. “I followed Dan here.” He looked crushed. “Are you ok?”

“I’m fine. I would have told you if it was me, Tom.”

“Is Jenna alright?”

“She will be.”

“I’m sorry if I’ve been a dick, Darcy. I still don’t know what’s going on but I just…I just don’t know how you could shut me out.”

“And I don’t know why you couldn’t have stuck by me, how you could move on so quickly.”

“Move on?”

Tears pricked at my eyes when I looked at him. He came closer and held me. “Please, Darcy, I miss you. What can I do?”

I felt anger, hurt, and pain rise up in me. “Tom,” I moved back out of his arms, “I’m so tired and the last few weeks have been so hard. And, I don’t know, Tom, the way you’ve been? You don’t miss a beat. I’m out of the picture for a few days and you’re having lunch with Morgan and her friends? Even the other day when you and I were talking in the quad, you just dropped everything to talk parties with your buddy Liz. I wonder if I really know you.”

He looked at me, eyes-wide, incredulous. “If you know me? How the fuck was I supposed to know what you were dealing with, Darcy? You’ve basically just dropped me. You’re driving me fucking insane!”

“I don’t want this, Tom. I don’t want you upset and I don’t want to be the pathetic, jealous girlfriend.
