Kat went with Jess to the

hospital. Gary could not bear

the thought of being present

while the remainder of his

baby was removed, dismissed

as if never a reality. The first

few days of the New Year

were

dreadful.

Jess

had

walked

back

into

the

apartment looking bewildered,

and Lucy began to joke about

the scan picture looking like

Gary, but stopped when she

read their faces. The feeling

that quickly engulfed the

eager, excited lounge was one

of complete devastation. It

was

a

feeling

that

put

everything

else

in

its

righteous place. Jess and Gary

were lost; but neither could

find the other, and no amount

of reassurance or comfort had

any form of impact on their

absolute despair.

Jess had entered the

lounge in silence and sat on

the edge of the leather sofa.

‘He just didn’t form properly.’

She had been wide eyed,

staring through the air.

Kat had been close to

tears. ‘Oh, Jess, I’m so sorry.

What can we do?’

‘Nothing.’

Gary

was

empty of emotion.

There was silence in the

lounge

and

the

only

movement was the slight shift

of

the

shiny

Christmas

decorations as they blew

gently with the rising radiator

heat. Kat spotted a stray glass

behind the television, missed

from the New Years Eve clean

up.

Ben

squeezed

Lucy’s

hand. She was trying not to

cry.

‘He’s still here, inside me,

no heartbeat, just all alone.’

‘Oh

Jess,’

Kat

had

dashed to the sofa, sank to

her knees and held her as

tightly as she could. Jess

stared straight ahead as a

tear fell from Kat’s cheek.
