Chapter 138

I hadn’t even held that baby, hadn’t planned for it, hadn’t known about it until weeks ago.

But it was mine.

And now it wasn’t.

“She had lost a significant amount of blood,” the doctor continued. “We’ve stabilized her for now, but she’ll require a blood transfusion. She’s unconscious.”

My chest tightened.

“And the baby?” I asked, even though I already knew.

“We’ll need to perform a Dilation and Evacuation procedure,” he said carefully.

“It’s a surgical procedure. Because the fetus has passed, we must remove the remaining pregnancy tissue to prevent infection or further complications. We’ll dilate the cervix and remove the tissue using surgical instruments. It’s necessary for her safety.”

My mind struggled to process it.

Remove the tissue. Necessary. Safe.

This was medical language.

Clinical. Detached. Efficient.

But all I could think was that that was my child.

My child that I didn’t even get a chance to meet.

“I need your consent,” the doctor said quietly. “She’s unconscious and we can’t delay.”

He slid the clipboard towards me.

The pen felt heavy in my hand.

I signed.

My signature looked unfamiliar, like it belonged to someone else entirely.

The doctor gave me a brief nod. “We’ll take care of her.”

When he left the room, I didn’t move.

I leaned both hands on the table and bowed my head.

I had lost a child.

The irony of it crushed me.

Dominic’s POV

I followed the doctor down the corridor on legs that didn’t feel like mine.

Everything around me was sterile white, bright, and too clean.

My shirt was still stained with Alessia’s blood.

The doctor stopped outside a small consultation room and gestured for me to sit.

I didn’t.

“Tell me.” I said.

His expression was the kind doctors used when there was no good version of what they were about to say.

“I’m very sorry,” he began.

The words hit before the meaning did.

“The fall caused severe trauma. There was significant internal bleeding. We performed an ultrasound immediately.”

He paused.

“The fetus no longer has a heartbeat.”

The world didn’t explode.

It didn’t collapse.

It just… hollowed out.

“What?” I heard myself say.

“It was a fatal injury. The pregnancy cannot continue.”

I stared at him.

Fatal.

The word echoed.

My child.

Dead.

There was a strange, cruel clarity to the moment.

“What happened?” she whispered.

I couldn’t speak for a second.

Then I forced the words out. “The baby didn’t make it.”

Her face crumpled. I knew somewhere we had both known that that was what the doctor was going to it did nothing to lessen the impact.

She covered her mouth.

“No…”

“They have to perform a procedure,” I said, my voice sounding distant to my own ears. “To remove…everything. She lost too much blood. They’re giving her transfusions.”

Tears spilled down her cheeks as she listened. She didn’t hesitate. She stepped into me, her arms coming around to hold me.
