Make Me Stay

Chapter 1

At just over 20 weeks pregnant everything had been smooth sailing for first time mother Bianca, very little morning sickness, no crazy cramping or cravings. It was the perfect pregnancy people kept telling her.

That was until today.

Today was just meant to be a small check up, check her weight, bloods, blood pressure, the heartbeat those types of things.

It didn't go quite to plan though.

After everything else was done Doctor Martin had Bianca hop on the chair for a listen of the heartbeat with the doppler.

He moved the doppler around her belly for what seemed like forever. A couple times he thought he had picked the baby up, but then discovered it was actually Bianca's own pulse he was hearing. Of course by now Bianca started to get a little nervous. "I don't want to torture you," the doctor said, "let's go down to the ultrasound room for a quick look."

They quickly walked to the ultrasound room. It was dark and quiet. The doctor squeezed the cold gel onto my belly and turned on the machine.

For a while he looked at the screen in silence before turning it towards Bianca so she could see it. "This is the heart right here," he pointed out, "and I'm not seeing any activity. I want to have the ultrasound tech double-check and take some measurements before we talk about what this means."

It was like her brain just couldn't comprehend what the doctor was saying, or what she was seeing. "You mean he's gone?" she finally asked, feeling her face get hot.

The Doctor didn't have a response for her, quickly making his exit to get an ultrasound tech leaving Bianca feeling confused and faint.

Faintly she recalled Doctor Martin and his ultrasound tech Slyvia coming into the room, before in just a few words they unintentially broke her heart and her walls crumbled down around her.

Bianca still layed motionless on the ultrasound table willing herself not to cry, she could hear the Doctor talking still but his voice had become muffled and seemingly distant to her now.

Although the information being conveyed to her she knew was important Bianca couldn't bring herself back to reality. As much as Bianca tried to listen into what her doctor was saying her thoughts were left lingering on the most important details.

"I'm sorry to have to say this Miss Anderson but we're unable to find a heartbeat" He'd taken a pause, like he knew that she would need this time process this. And it did. "Due to the lack of heartbeat at this time in the pregnancy the only explanation is that you've had a miscarriage."

There were so many questions she wanted to ask the doctor but she had conveniently forgotton how to speak in her shock. Most importantly she wanted to ask why? Or how? Only yesterday had Bianca felt him kicking around and now? Now she knew that the unimaginable and undescribable feeling like your unborn child kicking you was something she wouldn't feel again.

Why is it that in times of grief do we really come to the realistaion of how special and rare little things such as a kick can be?

Was there a possibility that the feeling she felt yesterday wasn't actually her son kicking? That it could of been her son inevitably dying? That in the momemnt where she was torn between momentary pain and immense joy that her son was slipping away from her.

Racking her brain she tried to think of anything happenning that was abnormal, like cramps or bleeding but Bianca couldn't think of anything. To her the pregnancy had been going along smoothly, heck, everyone seemed to think her pregnancy was going along smoothly so this was the last thing she thought of happenning at her appointment today.

Her inexperience due to this being her first pregnancy was really coming to the forefront here, should she have known what was happening inside her body, could she have stopped this from happenning if so? Bianca knew that she wasn't going to get any of questions answered being a mute but essentially she had shut down. The emotional distress of the situation proving to much for the young first time mother.

Doctor Martin had finally noticed she wasn't listening anymore it seemed, seeing as he moved his hands to attempt to wipe the gel from her lower abdomen. The warmth of his hands seemed to jolt her from her current state of shock as she pushed his hands away. Unaffected by Bianca's reaction he tried again only to have her repeat her previous actions.

"Miss Anderson we need to get you cleaned up for the meanwhile." he insisted.

"No." she whispered, as the tears began to fall.

"Please, I just need to wipe the gel from you."

Shaking her head at him she spoke a little louder this time. "No," again. "I..I-uh I want to see him again p-please."

His face softened and he gave her a look of sympathy that she didn't care for at the moment. Doctor Martin seemed to understand that although another ultrasound would essentially be needed to conduct some growth measurements and to investigate the cause behind this miscarriage, that Bianca realistically wasn't in the right frame of mind right now for that.

"Please, please I just need to see him again," she sobbed.

Looks were exchanged between Doctor Martin and Sylvia the ultrasound technician, although no words were exchanged between them Bianca noticed that their looks seemed to convey the conversation between them without words. A nod was eventually exchanged and Doctor Martin moved out for Sylvia to step back up to the machine.

Bianca laid back down again as Sylvia picked up the ultrasound wand and began moving it over her lower abdomen again. "There he is Miss," she pointed to her 20 week old son.

There on the screen was her son once again and this time Bianca took her time to really look at him, his tiny body curled and still. Evidence of his already defined facial features made her think of whom he would have looked more like, or if he would have been an equal mix of both his parents.

For the most part after finding out that she was having a son Bianca had hoped he would look like Roman, now she hoped that maybe he would resemble her even in the slightest.

His right hand was wrapped around his left arm and so his tiny fingers were on display, they seemed so long on his tiny hands and Bianca thought of her own hands. All through her life she had been told her fingers were longer than normal, although it was always taken in her stride. Her son had taken that part of her with him, it caused a brief smile to grace her face.

Unfortunetly it was only momentary happiness in the midst of immense pain and sadness. There was her baby she had envisioned so many things for, had so many plans for and he was still.

Bianca just wanted him to wake up, to start squirming around like the last time she had saw. When he had been such a wiggle worm that they had actually had trouble getting all the measurements they needed.

But he stayed still. There were no longer any signs of life in her womb. He was gone.

Overwhelmed with emotion Bianca eventually over exhausted herself with shallow breaths and uncontrollable sobs to the point she passed out.

-X-

Her eyes fluttered open as she adjusted to the light in the room she observed as new to her. Looking around it registered with her that she was in a hospital room, still a little dazed she grabbed for the call button and pressed for the nurse.

A middle aged nurse made her way into Bianca's room shortly after, "Miss Anderson you're awake now."

"Yeah, I-I uh passed out huh?"

The nurse gave a slight nod of her head, "You were very overwhelmed with raw emotion and it took it's toll on your body."

In hindsight now she understood why Doctor Martin and Sylvia had been hesitant on letting her see her son while she was still in that mindframe. Had she waited until they discussed her options and Bianca made her decision on what they were to do going forward from here, then allowed Doctor Martin to do the second ultrasound things might not have ended like this.

"I'm just going to check your vitals again now that you're awake if that's okay?" she asked.

Bianca knew she didn't really have a choice despite how much she didn't want to be touched right now. So with a murmer of a yes she let the nurse do her job.

Not unexpected her vitals weren't were the doctor would have liked them and so the nurse who Bianca had eyed her badged Lucy took note of those and said she would have to page for the doctor.

"On your files we were unable to find a next of kin listed, is there someone we could call for you Miss Anderson?"

Honestly? Yes. Did she want him to see her like this though, to know that she had lost their baby? No.

Of course she knew that he deserved to know though, so Bianca asked for her bag and fished her phone out scrolling down to find Roman's number before running it off to nurse Lucy.

Smiling kindly Lucy left to make the call as Bianca laid back in the hospital bed and let her tears fall again.

Roman was a kind man, she could never fault him for that it's just she wasn't in love with him and honestly she didn't believe he was in love with her either.

The conception of their son was really just meant to be a flimsy drunken one night stand but a month and half later Bianca had discovered that they were going to have their own little reminder of that fateful night.

He had been great and really supportive from the moment Bianca told him and really took to the idea of being a father. Sighing, she knew that this was going to effect him terribly and she just didn't have the heart to break it to him.

Bianca didn't know who Roman was when they first met back at the club, but in the wake of the morning after she slowly began to put the peices together.

Embarressed by her actions from the night before Bianca tried to rush getting dressed before trying to make the walk of shame. In the process though Bianca had noticed the papers on the bedside table of his hotel room.

It was a travel intinerary for the WWE, he was a wrestler?

As a kid she remembered watching the likes of Hulk Hogan, Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior on the TV with her older brother.

Eventually her brother grew out of the facade upon his teen years and in suit so did she, so that explained her complete lack of knowledge based on the man still asleep.

Really she wasn't trying to snoop, she was just looking for her wallet! However Bianca actually found his and ironically enough she learnt that Roman too was from the Pensacola area.

It was a friend's bacherlorette party that had her visiting Las Vegas.

Looking back though, Bianca was grateful she had stumbled upon those few things. It made it easier to track down the man she had fallen pregnant too when she found out the news herself.

Much to her suprise Roman was supportive and attentive from the time she let him know, Bianca had thought he might have taken to her with accusations of her being some crazy groupie but he hadn't. Thankfully.

He'd wanted to tell his family straight away too and while Bianca couldn't bask in the excitement of being able to tell her parents Roman's definetly made up for it. His family were overjoyed and excited for a new baby.

Of course they had their questions, Bianca knew that they would. Who doesn't when their son brings home a woman they've never heard of and tells them they're expecting.

While she appreciated their concern and the open armed welcome that she had received, they had eventually become overbearing at times.

Roman was the youngest child of 5 and therefore the baby of the family. It was clear to Bianca that he was favoured upon and fussed over more than most of the men in the family because of this and while she admired his families devotion and love Bianca learnt that 'co-parenting' with Roman would be harder than she had originally anticipated.

Dealing with Roman himself would have been fine, dealing with Roman and the constant opinions from his family on their relationship, their living arrangements and how they planned to raise their child hower did bothered her.

Even though at times they bickered and had their obvious differences Bianca had formed a close bond with Roman's three older sisters and his mother Patrica. Espiecially his mother, Patricia had been overwhelmed with a mix of both sadness and joy at the news of the impending arrival of her grandson.

Now those relationships would be forever altered.

And that's what sucked.

It hurt her to think that this beautiful family she had only really just begun getting to know were going to look at her and hurt.

It hurt her to know that anytime Roman would look at her, he would hurt.

It hurt knowing that she couldn't protect their child, that she wasn't able to do the one thing a women is supposed to be able to do.

Bianca knew she had some hard decisions to make now.

"Miss Anderson, Mr. Reigns wanted you to know he will be here as soon as possible."

Lost in her thoughts Bianca hadn't even heard her come into the room, "Thankyou."

"Of course, is there anything I could get you?"

"A glass of water, I-I uh also was wondering if I could speak to my Doctor soon...to you know look at my options now." she said almost whispering the last part.

Nurse Lucy looked sadly at the young girl in the bed before her and her heart ached. Giving a gentle comforting squeeze to her arm she informed Bianca that once Mr. Reigns was there they could all speak about their options, before she left to get her glass of water.
