Chapter 6: Devastating Loss

"I can't believe it" Connie said in tears in the hospital room

"I really wanted that baby even though it was a total surprise" Mike said crying

The day started like any normal day. Jackie was reading to Mikey and Olivia and was telling them about how friendly there dog was. Jackie was really smart for a girl her age, she then saw Connie walking in pain and then Jackie said

"Mommy are you alright?"

"No I'm in pain, Mike I need to go to the emergency room. Tell your mom to watch the kids"

"Okay we'll be at the emergency room before you know it. My mom is walking up here to watch the kids"

Mike and Connie walked to the car and drove to the hospital. She was admitted right away. The doctor took a blood pregnancy test and then the doctor gave some news that she was pregnant again, a total surprise but they were going to raise a great family even though this pregnancy was a surprise. Then a few hours later the room went silent and life was changed after Connie bled in the ER bathroom when she had to pee, she knew immediately that she miscarried a new family member, she thought the baby would be a boy and named Joshua, that dream of having another child went up in smoke but she knew it would take time to heal from this tragedy. Connie was in tears when she heard the words she would never forget

"Mrs. Cutter?" The ER Doctor said

"Yes"

"I'm afraid I have some bad news about your pregnancy. You were 13 weeks pregnant but you suffered a miscarriage which was confirmed after you paged me. I'm super sorry for your guy's loss. Miscarriage is difficult to grieve over but it's not the ending it's just a setback there is always adoption or surrogacy"

"We need some time alone please"

"Take all the time you need"

Mike looked at Connie with tears in his eyes and Connie said

"I can't believe it, I really wanted that baby even though it was a surprise"

"I really wanted that baby"

"I know you did. I wanted the baby too. I'm just so sad about this"

"I know you are. But this is just a bump in the road. We have to be strong for those 3 kids who we give so much love to. We have so many people who will support us, Both of our mom's, Jack, Alex, Casey, Liv, Amanda, Fin I couldn name everyone who supports us. We're going to get through this"

"I know we're, there is a child out there up for adoption that wants us to adopt him"

"We'll make that child happy when we adopt him, we're such good parents who will get out of this situation"

"We'll get out of this situation together. It will take some time but we're a team and it's going to be okay"
