Being a doctor, there is always a death or something close to it and each time, it affects us differently. Knowing things about my patient and then not knowing certain things, puts them and me at a risk.

Today was a Bishops’ family type of risk. I didn’t think that it was possible to be suddenly initiated into a life that I wondered about sometimes but never got to know anything about.

Andres Bishops is one of the founding families head but we’ve never had a reason to talk or anything.

Hell, I barely talked to Ainslee and only spoke to her in passing.

The Bishops have their own everything; hospital, doctor, etc. nothing goes on without them knowing. Not a single thing so when I found out today that my patient that I’ve known—knew— for a while now was married to none other than Andres Bishops’s brother, I knew that things changed.

She never said she was part of the family and neither did her husband, they didn’t live in Founder’s but she had fertility issues. She came to me because I was recommended by another doctor and after years of them trying, finally, she was pregnant.

Was.

There’s that word again. My chest hurts from the realization of what happened tonight,

What I had to do today… what I had to say to her husband; the father of her baby. The man that I knew loved her more than anything else in this world. The husband knew what happened to his wife but me, repeating that someone not only brutalized his wife but they meant to do her enormous harm. Harm that killed her. They murdered her, this wasn’t an accident. She didn’t deserve this and there was sperm on her body but not inside of her… How could someone call themselves human and hurt another person like this? She was a good woman. She didn’t deserve this.

My mind wanders as I shut my eyes cuddling Esme just as I go to the moment where I looked down at my bloodied hands and on the operating table, my patient and her baby. I couldn’t save them.

It was too late.

“I’m so sorry…”

Words I always regret saying to anyone that is waiting on news about their loved one.

My heart breaks especially for him because not only did he lose his wife but his baby as well.

Two people were taken from him before he could continue to love them. Something that I wish I could change.

I knew how much they tried. How much they fucking loved each other and now, he had no one else there.

Usually, when news like this is delivered… the husband or wife or family throws a major fit. They blame me, God, and everyone under the sun yet this husband didn’t do that.

He didn’t say a single word to me. He just stared at me for a moment after I delivered the hard and sad news to him. He nodded then looked down at my hands, the blood was still there because there was a protocol with the Bishops.
