Unimaginable Sorrow

Sam's POV
No one should ever go through what has just happened to Daniel and Vala. It was completely out of the blue and took us all by surprise.
Vala came to see me yesterday morning complaining of cramps. I took some tests and confirmed my suspicions. The baby that was growing inside of her had died. At first I didn't want to tell her; I knew that if I didn't, she would hate me even more.
"I'm sorry, Vala. I don't know what happened." Vala sat there in complete shocked silence.
"Vala, can you hear me?" She turned towards me and slowly nodded her head before standing up. "I'm going to go find Daniel," she whispered almost inaudibly; unlike the fun-loving Vala we had all grown to love over the last few years.
"Are you going to be ok?" I asked.
Vala blinked blankly at me. "Maybe," she replied as she left the sickbay.
That was the last I saw of her in nearly two days. I know that Daniel is with her, but it doesn't facilitate the fact that I couldn't have helped her.
Daniel's POV
Vala walked into our quarters looking really distant. I hadn't seen her like this in a very long time. She walked straight into the bathroom and shut the door. I was going to go in after her, but thought better of it when I heard the door lock. I waited a good solid hour before she walked out looking worse than she did when she went in. her ebony hair messed around her beautiful face; her pyjama top stained with tears. I moved towards her slowly and pulled her into a hug.
"What's the matter, honey?" Her sniffs get louder. "Shh…it's ok."
She pulls out of my grasp. "It's not ok, Daniel! It'll never be ok!" she yells.
"Why? What's going on? Tell me…please."
"The…sniff…baby."
"What about the baby?"
Sniff "It's…gone."
At that moment in time my whole life shattered into tiny pieces and completely shot out into space. How could this happen? Things were going so well. Questions buzzed in my brain, unable to think, I sat down on the floor in front of the bed and pulled Vala gently to my side. "I'm so sorry, Vala." I didn't know what to say. How can you know? She's my wife, I should know. I understand that cursing myself won't bring the baby back, but it sure as hell helps with frustration.
Beside me, Vala burst out into another round of tears. This time I was unable to control my own. I rubbed my hand up and down her arm for support. Could this day get any worse?
Vala's POV
(1 week later)
I don't know what I would have done without my Daniel. He was my rock and my saviour. He was hurting as much as I was, but he kept strong for me. I must remind myself to thank him later.
I went to see Sam today. Apparently she had been running a few tests while Daniel and I were indisposed. She seems to think that the Ori had something to do with it all. They put a time blocker on me and when and if I ever got pregnant again, it would be terminated just before the end of the first trimester. I hate them even more than when they made me give birth. I actually wanted this one. Stupid frellniks!
Sam is going to try and find this 'blocker' and get rid of it, but like she says, she's not a medical doctor.
I don't think we'll try again even if Sam can fix me…it's not worth the pain and sorrow.
Please R&R...i love feedback
