"How are you doing Devin?" Dr. Carmichael asked.
"I`m doing pretty good, my dad wants to see me after the session."
"Are you ready to talk to him one on one?"
"I guess, I mean it's not like this will be the first time we seen each other." Devin says.
"You should really consider getting a new couch doctor like every time I sit in that specific spot Joe has to help me up." Devin says.
"I`ll make a note of it." Dr. Carmichael says.
"Hey does your mom know- you know about the incident?"
"I doubt it, she would have throwin it in my face."
"No doubt."
"Yeah, decided yesterday was the last time i will ever talk to her."
Yeah, i usually don't like to encourage a stuff like that, but no good will ever come out of that relationship."
"Devin's ready to talk." Joe says.
"I thought we were just talking." Dr. Carmichael said.
"About the incident."
Dr. Carmichael readjust herself in her seat and says. "Okay."
Devin takes a deep breath and immediately starts to cry.
"A couple of months ago I was -pregnant, for most of my pregnancy I had no idea I was pregnant and I did a lot of stupid things I wouldn't have done had I known I was pregnant, when I did find out I was pregnant I was a little worried, because i wasn't taking any prenataIs, i wasn't taking care of my self like i should have or would have, but when I went to the doctors,to see if they were okay and they said not only were they okay despite the danger i put them in but i was pregnant with twins and things proceeded as normal, every time I went to doctor's appointments they said the same thing they were healthy no sign of anything wrong…" Devin said then taking another deep breath.
"A week before their due dates I started feeling a little odd so I went to the hospital and they checked on them and they said everything was fine, I knew something was wrong but they sent me home anyways, when I went into labor everything still looked fine until I delivered them…
"And she was dead- she was dead and there was nothing the doctors could do about it." Devin said crying hysterically.
"Devin, it wasn't your fault." Dr. Carmichael said.
"I know that it wasn't my fault, I know and it wasn't Joe's fault, and it wasn't anyone's fault and that's what makes it worse because you can't prevent it, we want more kids but who's to say this won't happen again, since it wasn't no one's fault how do you prevent it- you can't, it would have been easier had It been someone's or somethings fault because I could have avoided it but I can't and that's the hardest thing." Devin says sending the room into a silence.
"He died almost a week after his sister…"
"Who did?"
"My son."
"He- he was born with some of his organs on the outside..."
"Omphalocele is what they called it, he also had to be on breathing tube, he didn't stand a chance..."
Looking down and scratching the paint off her nail Devin says. "They would have been three months."

"We we're supposed to have another baby brother and sister but they died." Joelynn said.
"What happened to them?" Their therapist asked.
"They died didn't you hear her?" JoJo asked with an attitude.
"I mean how did they die?"
Joelynn looked at JoJo and JoJo said.
"One died while my mama was giving birth- or maybe she was already dead, I don't know all I know is that they died." JoJo said with a single tear falling from her eye.
