says I’ve ruined his political career but I doubt it was me. It was probably one of the many assistants he’s banged over the years. The campaign wasn’t going well before Keira and I were married so I refuse to take the fall for that.
    All of that means nothing as I watch my wife whimpering in pain on the bathroom floor. I don’t think I can take much more. I want to run out of here. I called Gramps as the ambulance pulled up. I’ll send Sloan a text once we get to the hospital.
    “Keira, baby, it’s gonna be okay.” I say it even though I know it’s not. I didn’t miss the look on the face of the paramedic as they put her in the ambulance. I don’t think she’s really coherent. She’s not really talking just moaning in pain.
    I am so scared. This can’t be happening. It just can’t. She’s only sixteen weeks pregnant. The doctor said everything was fine at the last visit. But there is so much blood.
    “We’re here Mr.Callahan.” The lady EMT says as we pull up to the hospital emergency room. “You’ll need to do a little paperwork. Just stop at the desk while we get your wife settled.”
    I shake my head. “I’m not leaving her.”
    “I know you want to help your wife. We have to get her settled so you have time to talk with the admissions counselor.” The male paramedic says gently. Before I can’t speak, Gramps walks in behind me.
    “You go ahead Lane, I have the insurance information. Go take care of your wife.”
    Keira is laying quietly as they transfer her from the stretcher to the bed. The room is cold and pale with blaring lights shining on her. The paramedics gather their materials and leave quietly.
    “The nurse should be here shortly.” The paramedic says quietly.
    “I’m already here” The nurse says as she enters.

    I have searched my mind over and over. I did everything right. So why am I having a miscarriage? The doctor confirmed what I already knew. My baby is dying inside me.
    My husband is silent. The doctor explains that the fetus is still inside my body and will have to be removed. “The fetus in no longer viable. I’m so sorry,” he says. The tears create a curtain of blurriness as they slide down my cheeks. Lane is at my side holding my hand. His breathing catches. He flinches at the words. “We will have to perform a small procedure to clean the uterus. The nurse will prep you soon.” And just like that the doctor leaves.
    My resolve breaks. My baby is dead. My baby is dead. “I know baby. I know. Let it out.” Lane says as he holds me to his chest. I clutch my belly. I don’t want this to be happening to me - to us.
    They move my bed to another area of the hospital. It’s cold. “Please slide up.” The nurse asks. She’s speaking but I can’t hear any words. I can feel Lane’s presence but I can’t look him in the eye. He rubs the hair from my eyes and kisses my forehead. His voice is a low hum. He’s trying to comfort me. But I can hear his sniffles. Don’t cry baby. His tears are running from his face into my hair.
    “I’m sorry.” I whisper.
    “Shh.” Is all he says.
    Another nurse enters the room to escort Lane to the waiting area. He kisses me on the lips. “I love you. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

    Its like de ja vu. I am waiting again for Keira as they take my baby from her body. Gramps is waiting for me. Sloan is here, too, I walk into my Gramps strong embrace.
    “It’s gonna work out.” Slone says.
    “There’s no more baby. My little Peanut is gone.” I whimper like a little kid.
    “Lane, I am so sorry.” My gramps holds me tighter allowing to cry it all out like I did when I was a small boy. Sloan pats me on the back for comfort.
    “Thanks for being here.” I turn to Sloan and shake his hand.
    “Of course, have you called her aunt? “I shake my head. I can’t. Not yet. “I’ll call. Give me the number.” I pull it up on my phone. Sloan takes the phone and walks out the doors of the waiting area.
    I
