~(Y/N)~

Everything comes to an end. We are born, we live and then we die, we knew that from the start, and it is never easy to accept. But sometimes a life ends before it's even started.

At this moment it felt like mine had ended. There on the medical bed, I sat taking in the news. After a year and a half of trying, I finally became pregnant. But this incident, the one I tried so hard to prevent still hit. My baby was gone. I thought the cramps were normal... but then the blood came.

I had been warned that within the first 20 weeks the chances of losing my baby were higher, and I didn't want to believe my doctors. I was just so happy to finally be pregnant. I intended to tell my folks and friends about the happy news... and now... I have nothing to tell them.

I was alone at the doctor's office. My husband of two years was at work, I had pushed him to go to work today because we needed the money for when the baby would arrive... now. I shut my eyes tightly and stifle the cries. What would I tell Levi? He was so happy when he found out he was going to be a father... this'll crush him.

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Ackerman... I know it's not easy-

"Please leave me be," I mutter.

The woman nods and leaves the room. I let the tears run down my face as I look around the room at the different posters, some of the cycles of pregnancy by the weeks. I was about 6 weeks into my pregnancy I wasn't even showing. With my hand over my abdomen, I felt like I had gotten kicked in the gut dealing with the pain from before and after finding out.

Slowly I get up out of the bed, the slight shock of pain hit my cervix like a typical period. The doctor informed me that I would be cramping for a day or two and deal with light bleeding for about a week.

~Time Skip~

After leaving the doctor's office I returned home wondering how I'd explain to Levi what has happened. I would cry alone for the next two and a half hours waiting for Levi to return.

~Levi~

I had to admit, my wife had been acting strange since waking up today. She begged me to go to work today while she visited the doctor... it made me a little worried. Walking through the front door I set the laptop back down and loosen my tie. "Darling I'm home!" I call.

It was silent, which was out of the ordinary. She didn't come running out to greet me with a kiss or call back. The house was pretty dark too it seemed, even though the curtains were pulled back letting the sunlight in. Cautiously I walk through the house making our way to the bedroom, but then I heard a soft thud come from the baby's room.

Walking over I open the door and on the floor sat my wife in front of a demolished baby crib we both had worked hard the previous day building. Oh no. "Look at this mess?!" I say rather loudly but in a calm tone.

She sniffled and looked back at the destruction. Walking in, I squat down beside her and pull her into my arms. I could already guess what happened we lost- "I-It's my fault! Our b-baby is gone." she croaks. I place my hand on her head and gently run my fingers through her hair. Truly I had never been that great at comforting her, but I did my best.

"Shh... it's not honey..." I coo. Slowly I rock us back and forth to calm her down as she sniffled and sobs.

"I-I'm so sorry." she cries. She hid her face in my shoulder while I held her head gently. Tilting my head to the side I kiss her head softly.

"It's gonna be alright... we'll get through this." I mutter. Although it broke my heart inside, I remained strong on the outside for both of us, to help her get through this. It wasn't easy but then again it never is.

I pull her head back and cup her face in my hands. With both thumbs, I wipe her tears away and look her in the eyes. "I love you regardless... nothing is going to change that... don't ever blame yourself for something that is out of your control. Whether we have a baby or not I will love you. Always." I tell her.

She definitely needed to hear the words. A sad smile crept up at her face before jumping back into my arms and sobbing softly. "Always," she whispers.
