Chapter 502

Bleeding?!

We both look down, and sure enough, my very white shorts are red now. It’s not just a spot, it’s a fucking puddle. Tears fill my eyes instantly and when I see the horror on Rowan’s face, they fall. “No,” I look down again, finding my voice. “No, no. This isn’t happening,” I sob. “Ana-”

Rowan slides one arm under my knees and picks me up. “You’re okay,” he softly whispers, carrying me towards the exit. “Caleb, get the car.”

Caleb drags his and Rowan’s suitcases outside, hurrying towards their car. By the time Rowan gets there, the doors and trunk are already open. Caleb helps Anastasia with our bags while Rowan straps me in. “Deep breaths, Miss Fren,” Anastasia tells me.

“My baby,” I choke out, the words barely audible. All I can see is the blood on my shorts and the pale face of the man next to me. This should’ve happened at home, far from where he could see. He watched Danielle lose a baby, and he’s about to see me lose mine, that’s two-three, it’s fucking cruel. “I’m sorry.” I blink, my chest heaving.

“Shh,” he rubs my back. “You’re okay, everything’s going to be okay.”

It’s not.

I’m bleeding, and my stomach is in knots. I can’t believe I’m going through this, I can’t believe he has to see this. He didn’t even get a chance to bond with the baby. The guilt that has been eating me up over the last few weeks after my anger mellowed hits me all at once, and I start ugly crying. “I’m sorry.”

Rowan shakes his head, making me cry harder. “I wanted to tell you, I promise I did.”

“Let’s not talk about that right now, okay? I need you to breathe, can you do that? Deep breaths, in…out..”

“It’s too late,” I sniff. “It’s over, I’m losing my baby. I wanted him, I really want him, and Ah!”

“Miss Fren, breathe.” Anastasia says, “Just like we practised.”

I suck in a breath, I try the deep breaths. I do as Anastasia tells me to, but it’s not working. The cramping only seems to get worse, a clear sign that I’m losing the baby. My hand doesn’t leave my lower belly, and Rowan places his over mine. “I want this baby, I swear I do. I know I tried to get rid of him, but-I wanted

Caleb drives fast, swerving through traffic, but it doesn’t matter. Deep down, I’ve accepted defeat. learned early to accept my hurt, let it hurt then move on from it before it tore my heart out, and this? it’s fucking killing me. My heart hurts, and it’s all my fault. I’m being punished somehow, this is the universe getting its lick back.

When I found out I was pregnant I hated it, hated the idea of motherhood as a whole, and I tried to kill my babies. I killed one of my babies and I’ve regretted that the longer that this one has existed, and now, I’m losing him too. I don’t get to make things right. I don’t get my redemption. This is my punishment, and I dragged him into it, he was better off not knowing.

“Noah,” Rowan shakes me. “Don’t you dare close your eyes on me.”

“We’re here!” I hear someone say, but I’m unsure if it’s Caleb or Anastasia. The only voice I recognise is

Rowan’s.

“Hang on,” he whispers, carrying me out of the car, but I feel so tired. The bright sun only hits my face for a couple of seconds before darkness consumes me.
