"I lost the baby..." the voice said from over the phone. It was around ten in the morning and that was the last thing I though I would have heard Lily tell me.
"Pardon?!" I replied feeling my heart shatter at the thought. I knew we were young, and that my life was turning upside down at the moment, but somehow I felt joy in the situation. Knowing that my life would never be the same, and how that I was helping bring a new life in the world. A new chapter of my life was a about to begin and just as soon as I turned the page the book ended.
As I sat in my families kitchen listening to the load sobs from the other end go the phone, my family just stared at me. Tears wren running down my cheeks and my once happy eyes were turning red and puffy.
"We lost the baby Joe. . . last night. . ." it said. I put my head down and felt week all over. I sat onto of the island with my hands on my face not wanting to face the bitter reality that was my life. I had so much more pain to feel, and I knew it would only get worse.
Unsure looks started at me, coming from my mother and brothers, as well as my father.
"Are you sure? What happen?" I managed to let out. I didn't really feel up to this conversation at the moment, but I knew it had to be done. The sooner it was over the sooner I could go to my room and mourn over the loss.
"Yeah. . . I even went to the doctors this morning to check." she answered which made me cry even harder, knowing that there was no hope. As I sobbed into my cell phone my mother came over and puttied my back, knowing what was happing was not good. My brothers just stood there while my farther brought Frankie up to his room so he wouldn't be mixed up in the confusion and pain of my life.
There was dead silence as both of us cried big tears of loss and pain.
"I'll call you later." I finally replied watching my farther enter the room.
"I love you Joe." the words struck through my heart like a piece of glass. We really were in love, but unsure of the future. So many new things were happing, and changing, we were unsure of where we both should. We both knew this was the last string and that our love couldn't take pain so great. The journey was almost over.
"I love you too Lily, bye" I hung up the phone regretting my last words. I just wanted to know what happened. What happened to the child growing in Lily's belly that had my blood running through its veins.
"Joseph, is everything alright?" my mother asked still rubbing my back. She looked scared for me, like she knew the answer, like she knew I couldn't handle my own life.
"No, Lily lost the baby." I replied knowing my father didn't even knew yet. I didn't even care. I saw his face grow mad with anger then cool down when he remembered it was gone. Lost. Dead.
"I'm so sorry, Joe." Kevin said with a look of uncertainty on his face. Like the rest of his family he was worried about his brother, he knew how happy he had beam about the news. He had already seen Joe looking at baby names, and buying a few toys and clothes for his baby. He knew that Joe was ready to become a father, and he also knew that this was going to haunt Joe the rest of his life. This was only the beginning of it.
"It'll be fine. Just calm down honey." His mother spoke softly holding her son in her harms. He just sat there not knowing where to go or what to do.
"Lily was pregnant, and you was the father?!" Mr. Jonas asked in shock and horror. It made him feel he didn't know his own son, it made him feel that he had be left out of his own family.
"Da-"
"Not now Paul." Mrs. Jonas cut him off trying to focus on calming her son.
"I just. . . I'm going to Jason's" Joe said ripping from his mother's arms and leaving the table. He just wanted to get away from it all.
Forever.
