SEBASTIAN

I stay rooted to the spot as I watch a couple of nurses wheel the love of my life away. It’s not until an older man wearing a uniform touches my arm that I realize I haven’t moved in a while.

“We have very good doctors here.”

He’s kind, and I don’t have the heart to tell him that good doctors weren’t able to save my parents. I walk back to the waiting room and a nurse promptly shoves paperwork at me. The last thing I want to do is answer a bunch of inane questions. How can they expect me to remember my insurance policy number and other nonsense when I don’t know what’s happening to my family?

I’m not sure how I finish filling out the damned form. Operating as an automaton, I drag my feet to the reception desk, handing the completed paperwork back to the nurse. There’s a clock mounted on the wall behind her showing it’s ten past three. I don’t know how much time has passed, but I don’t think I’ve been here for more than an hour.

“How much longer do you think?” I ask no one in particular.

The nurse who gave me the form turns to her coworker and whispers something to her. After a few exchanged words, she replies, “It shouldn’t be much longer now. The cafeteria is closed, but we have a coffee machine around the corner.”

“Thanks.”

I don’t want coffee; I don’t want anything besides Liv. God, please don’t take her away from me too. She was bleeding so much; that can’t be good.

Another hour passes before a doctor finds me.

“Sebastian Coleman?”

“Yes.” I stand up. “How is she?”

“Sedated. We thought it best if she rested until morning.”

“And the baby?”

“I’m afraid she had a miscarriage. I’m sorry.”

I take deep breaths as a shiver runs down my spine. I want to cry for the loss, but worry for Liv is trumping all other emotions. “Can I see her?”

“Sure. The nurse will bring you to her room.”

It takes another fifteen minutes before someone has the time to escort me to where Liv is. It’s the middle of the night and the hospital is dead, so I don’t know how busy they can be, but I bite my tongue and don’t make a comment, too tired to start arguing.

Liv is sound asleep when I enter the room. She looks so frail there in that hospital bed that it breaks my heart. I pull up a chair and sit next to her, grabbing her hands, noticing how cold they are. I don’t know how I’m going to tell her we lost our baby. She’s going to be devastated, especially with Saylor being pregnant too.

I lean my head against the bed and finally allow myself to cry. I have to do it now while she’s asleep, because when she wakes up, I must be strong.
