Set weeks after the last chapter. Shows Jill & Gordon now learning to cope with their loss and re-build their lives together.
The saying 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' was more than true in their case. Their tragic loss hadn't killed them or even pushed them apart, in fact it had bought them even together and made them more determined than ever to make things work. Of course that unborn baby had only been created weeks, possibly even weeks, before Jill miscarried it but they couldn't help but think about what it would miss; birthdays, Christmas', its first steps & the list goes on.
They'd sit together at night when the kids had gone to bed and talk about it. Jill had realised that it was best to talk about what had happened instead of keeping it all locked up inside. Her and Gordon would cry about the child they'd never meet and imagine what life would have been like with an extra addition to the family.
'We struggle enough now with three children let alone another. Imagine having another little person to get ready in the morning and another child to divide our time between?!' Joked Gordon
'You're right but we'd have managed. We always manage don't we Gordon?' Replied Jill
'Ah yes, that we do. But we can't dwell on what is never going to happen, just look to the future; Jonathon's first day at school, Katie's wedding & Tom learning to drive. We're lucky really aren't we Jill? We've got three beautiful children and that, we should be grateful for' Explained Gordon as he leant sides and kissed Jill's cheek, followed by him pulling her closer to him
One of many conversations they'd had since Jill had broken down weeks before. Neither of them would ever forget what could have been but had to move on and come to terms they'd never have another child together but the three they did have would bring lots of light into their lives. The love between the two of them was stronger than ever and even from the outside world it was clear they were meant to be together. A marriage truly made of love and respect.
