I sigh and I slowly turn away from the window. I look at the doorway to see if Carlton is coming back and I thought he wasn't going to be there and he is there and my face looks surprised and happy at the same time. Carlton is holding a bouquet of red roses and is looking at me.

"Would you let me in?.. I'm really sorry Marlowe."

I keep looking at him. "Of course you can come in. I need you."

"Thank you, you are very sweet." He walks up to my bedside and pulls a chair up to it and sits down. Carlton looks into my eyes; feeling bad for me.

"Everything is fine, Carlton. As long as you are here now, that's all that matters to me." He nods and sets them down on me. I look down at them and smile. "Thank you so much for these. They're very beautiful."

"you're more beautiful though." He leans in and moves some hair out of my face. I smile at him. Carlton grabs my hand and i hold his hand.

"I'm sorry carlton. That I couldn't do it." [I couldn't do it. I'm sorry either my would have been baby boy or girl…]

"Marlowe, don't be sorry, it's not your fault. you couldn't help it. It just happens on its own.." He pauses a second. "Everything is going to be okay Marlowe. I love you and we can always try again if you want.." He stands up and hugs me while I'm on the hospital bed and I hug him really tight back.

"I love you too, very much Carlton."

A couple days later when I can leave the hospital; Carlton hands me my clothes and I go into the small bathroom in the hospital. I change into them then come out and I walk up to him. Carlton hugs me then grabs my hand and pulls me out to the front desk to check out. We check out of the hospital and walk outside to his car. I get into the passenger seat and I buckle up. He gets into the driver's seat and buckles up too. While Carlton drives home; I stare out the window and think. After a little while; we get home and he gets out. I get out then I walk inside. He walks inside behinds me then when he gets in; he closes the door. As I walk to the couch I sigh then I sit down. Carlton walks up and sits next to me then he looks at me. "What do you want to do?"

I look at him then I lean my head on his shoulder. I take out an Ultrasound picture of the baby that I got before this happened and I look down at it. I don't respond him. He takes a deep breath then rubs my arm softly. "Let's just relax and move on...please."

He nods and looks at the Ultrasound picture too. [I wish this didn't happened but...we can't help it.] Carlton whispers some things in my ear then I smile and I put my arm around him. I relax and I close my eyes. He smiles and wraps his arms around me.
