Jeff finally got off of his shift in the bar, and was happily on his way
home. He pulled into the drive, and opened up the door. "Ames?" he called
out. There wasnt an answer. In a state of confusion, he looked around the
house, then heard the shower still on. "Ames?" he said opening the shower
curtain, to find no one. He called her name out again. "AMY!" he yelled.
Still silence.
The phone rang off the hook, causing Jeff to jump. "Hello?" "Mr. Hardy?" "Yes?" "Yes, this is Cameron memorial hospital, we have you wife here, she had a problem with the pregnancy and-" Jeff cut the nurse off. "Yes, give me a second I'll be there" he said hanging up, he panicked. He grabbed his keys and raced out the door. He was greeted at the door by Stacy and Adam, who was holding Devin. "Is she okay?!" Jeff asked, nearly going insane by the suspence. Adam slowly nodded, "Shes in initial shock, she hasnt spoken to anyone or showed any vital signs she just keeps staring at the wall but the doctor said she'll be just fine" he said. "What about the baby?" he asked in hope. Stacy shook her head no, and went to hug Jeff. "I'm so sorry, Jeff, Ames had a miscarriage the doctors said it was amazing that she even got this far" Jeff didnt let the words sink in all at once. He shook his head "Stace, no "he whispered. She nodded her head again. "Jeff, I'm sorry" Jeff pulled away "I want to see her" "Jeff she's not talking to anyone, shes in shock, she isn't even crying" Adam replied. Jeff shook his head "I don't care I want to see her!" Jeff was lead into a room, he peeked his head around the corner. There sat Amy staring at the wall in front of her, eyes black and baggy. As soon as she saw Jeff she held her arms out, reaching for him. He quickly went to her side and hugged her. She cried loudly into his shoulder. "I'm sorry Jeff" she sobbed "I'm sorry" "No...no Ames, this is not your fault" Jeff said soothingly. She continued to cry and wrapped her arms onto Jeffs neck. "I just want to go home..." she cried. Jeff shook his head no. "You cant do that Ames, they want to keep you overnight and run a few more tests on you, okay?... They want to see what went wrong" He whispered. "Then I want you to stay with me" "Of course I will, hun. Im going to stay overnight. Amy I am so sorry I went to that bar, I could have been here to help you out..." he trailed off. "Jeff it wouldnt have made a difference. You or I couldnt have done anything about it" she sobbed. Jeff stroked the back of her head. "This was for the best Amy, alright? Even if the baby had been born, it would have had physical problems" He began again "We wouldnt want to bring a baby into the world, if it was going to struggle" Amy shook her head in agreement. "I know, but in those 3 weeks, I got so attached, and..." she began to cry again. "Baby, I know its alright. We just have to take this one step at a time" @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Jeff woke up on the hospitals couch in Amy's room. He glared at her sitting up in the bed. "I want to go to Cameron" she whispered. "We are in Cameron" Jeff slowly said. Amy shook her head no. "Downtown Cameron. Look at the stars like we used to, Cameron" she said. "I cant go today babes, youre here for the rest of the day, and we have got to go before it starts snowing" He trailed off. Amy nodded. "We'll go tomorrow but you have to be back in time, because you work tomorrow.." she said resting her head back down on her pillow. She blinked and gave a blank stare to Jeff. "I want to go home" She whined. Jeff went to her bedside and ran his fingers through her messy hair. "Me too, babes" he whispered. The doctor came in the room, interrupting their talk. The doctor smiled and handed Jeff a large bottle of pills. "Now, if you two are still trying to have a baby, then Amelia will have to take these pills twice a day for three weeks, alright?" she asked, cocking her head to the side. Jeff nodded yeah he said shifting the bottle from one hand to the other. "And you and Amelia can leave anytime you want now" she said walking out the door. Jeff started to pack Amys things and they both drove home without saying a word. Amy opened the door to the apartment and looked around. It was cleaner, thanks to Jeff. She looked back at him, but both of them were lost for words. She sighed, "Maybe I should go and take a pill and go to bed..." she trailed off, Jeff nodded as Amy headed to the bathroom. Amy filled up a glass with cold water and opened up the medicne cabinet after swallowing the pill. She had saved the pregnancy test. She held it gently in her hands and sat down by the bathtub. Her eyes watered as she looked upon the two blue lines that had got her so excited, and for what?...nothing. She let go a sob and threw the test across the room. She buried her head in her hands.
Why wasnt this working out, was it my falut? a million questions raced through Amys mind as she curled her legs up to her stomach. She sat there alone, on the cold bathroom floor, weeping. She didnt want Jeff to see her this way, he was as already upset as it is. She rose to her feet after a few minutes, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were a little red, so she washed them with cool water. She headed to the bedroom and laid down. Jeff joined her a few minutes later. "Hey" he whispered trying to smile. "Hey" she whispered back. "Its already snowing, and we wouldnt be able to see the stars in downtown Carolina, hun, Im sorry" he said with sympathetic eyes. Amy sighed and nodded, she understood, it wasnt Jeffs fault. "Its alright Jeff, I just think I should get some sleep, alright?" she asked closing her eyes. She felt Jeff kiss the top of her forehead and the bed bounce as he laid his head down on the pillow. She drifted into sleep
