Chapter 18

The lump in Jason’s throat felt like a boulder as he stood alone outside of Vicky’s hospital room. He sent everyone else home. He and Vicky needed this time all to themselves. He’d been pacing back and forth for more than fifteen minutes. With closed eyes and a bowed head, he pinched the space between his eyes and nose. Water continued to escape and slide down his face.

He had no idea what he was going to say to Vicky since she didn’t know about the baby yet. How do you tell your wife your child is gone when you can’t believe it yourself? He prayed God gave him the strength to tell her about their baby boy without losing it.

After taking a deep breath, Jason finally walked into the room. Vicky was sleeping and looked…peaceful. He sat down next to her and kissed her forehead.

He whispered mostly to himself “Baby, I’m so sorry. I should not have left you alone. I’m so so sorry.”

Jason reached for Vicky’s hand and held it tight all night long.

The next morning, Vicky woke up to find Jason sleeping in a chair next to her but slumped over so that his head was occupying a spot close to her stomach. Their hands were intertwined.

When Vicky went to move his hair back, she sucked in a deep breath because of a sharp pain in her abdomen.

The movement woke Jason up. He must have dozed off because he hadn’t slept much all night.

The memories of the night before came flooding back and Vicky started to panic.

“Jason. Jason, I can’t feel the baby moving inside of me. I can’t feel anything.”

Vicky could see in Jason’s blood shot eyes that something was devastatingly wrong. She prayed silently for god not to have taken her baby away.

He quickly stood up and cradled her in his arms “Shhh…be still you’ll hurt yourself.”

“I don’t care! Why can’t I feel anything? Please, call the doctor or nurse! I have to make sure my baby’s okay.”

“Honey please…” Jason’s voice gave out.

She took her head out his arms to look him in the eye. With tears streaming down her face she shook her head.

“No! Why aren’t you calling the doctor? I’ll call him myself.”

Vicky tried to reach for the help button but Jason managed to cover her hands with his before she could press it.

He could barely get the words out “There is no more baby, Vicky.”

“Don’t…don’t say that! Just call the doctor. They can fix this!”

Jason held her tighter. “Not this time. They can’t fix this…I can’t fix this. Our son fought hard but he didn’t make it.”

Vicky’s scream didn’t sound human. It was deep and guttural. Jason understood it because he felt the pain too. All he could do was just rock her back and forth as she let the pain flow from her body.
