Ok guys I know the miscarriage was a bit drastic but trust me it will get better. I just wanted to add a bit of drama to the story.
After dropping Emma off at school, Ross went home to Rachel who was lying in bed in tears.
Ross: Honey are you ok.
Rachel: Ross no I am not ok Emma wants a baby brother or sister & I know you would love to have another baby but I just don't know if I am ready yet. It's been too soon after loosing the other baby.
Ross: Baby I wish you would have told me about it I would have helped you.
Rachel: I know Ross I just didn't know how you would react.
Ross: You didn't know how I would react. Rachel honey, I love you I would have reacted in the way a husband who loves his wife more then life itself would react. I would have held you; I would have told you that everything was going to be ok.
Rachel: I think I know why I lost the baby Ross & that's part of the reason I didn't want to tell you.
Ross: Why honey.
Rachel: Well do you remember the day that I had the bruises on my arms & legs.
Ross: Yeah you told me that you didn't know how they got there.
Rachel: Well I do know how they got there Ross. I fell down the stairs chasing Emma to try to get her into the tub & ready for bed one night.
Ross: Oh my god Rachel.
Rachel: Ross I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to get mad at Emma.
Ross: But Rach she knows she's not allowed to run in the house for one thing. Rachel honey I wish you would have told me about this. I am so sorry that I wasn't there for you to get through it together.
Rachel: Yeah but Ross I didn't want Emma to think she had hurt a baby. It was bad enough for her knowing she had made me fall down the stairs.
Ross: I can't believe Emma didn't tell me.
Rachel: We made a deal.
Ross: You made a deal with our 5 yr old daughter.
Rachel: Yes we made a deal. I told her she could have any toy she wanted at the store if she promised she wouldn't tell you about me falling.
Ross: I can't believe she kept it quiet.
Rachel: Yeah well neither can I but our daughter is pretty smart you know. She might even be a scientist one day. (laughing)
Ross: HA HA HA very funny, I know you won't let her become a scientist.
Rachel: Ross she can become whatever she wants.
Ross: Even a scientist?
Rachel: Yes even a scientist.
Ross: (smiling) Thank you honey.
Rachel: Ross.
Ross: Yes sweetie.
Rachel: I'm sorry
Ross: What for Rach
Rachel: For not telling you about the baby. I am so sorry Ross I really should have told you.
Ross: Yeah well you told me now & it's ok. We will get through this together.
Ross held Rachel close to him & whispered in her ear over & over again, "its ok, its ok". Rachel sat there sobbing into his chest. They laid there in bed for hours till suddenly Rachel jumped up.
Rachel: Ross oh my god Ross we forgot to pick up Emma from school.
Ross: What, where, why, what time is it.
Rachel: Honey its 3:30 you should have picked her up an hour ago.
Ross: Ok Ok, calm down I will call the school & make sure she's still there.
Ross went to the phone & called Emma's school. She was still there her teacher was finishing up some work & was going to bring Emma home on her way. Ross went in & told Rachel that her teacher was going to drop Emma off in a few minutes. That made Rachel feel much better.
Emma: Daddddddyyyyy you forgot me at school.
Ross: I know baby girl, daddy's sorry honey.
Emma: Why is mommy still in her jammies?
Ross: Mommy's not feeling good today Emma.
Emma: Did she fall again, because I was at school all-day daddy I didn't make her fall this time.
Ross: What, oh no no honey mommy didn't fall again & Emma why didn't you tell me when mommy fell the first time.
Emma: Cause daddy we didn't want you to get mad.
Ross: Oh Emma honey I wouldn't have been mad. Something happened to mommy that day that I should have known about. (Rachel hearing this comes out of the bedroom)
Rachel: Ross, please don't.
Ross: Rach I think she needs to know.
Rachel: But she's only 5 she won't understand.
Ross: Oh I think she understands more then we give her credit for Rachel. Emma honey mommy & daddy need to tell you something ok.
Emma: Ok daddy.
Ross: Emma there is a reason mommy is so upset when you asked her about a baby.
Emma: Why mommy.
Rachel: Well Emma honey you remember the day that I fell down the stairs when I was trying to get you to go have you bath.
Emma: Yes.
Rachel: Emma mommy had a baby in her tummy then (Rachel is crying now).
Emma: (crying to) Mommy I'm sorry did I make you not have the baby.
Ross: Well Emma when mommy fell the baby got hurt & couldn't live in mommy's belly anymore.
Emma: Where did it go daddy.
Ross: Well honey the baby is with god now he had to take it away.
Emma is really upset by the news. She is crying really bad now & go over to Rachel.
Emma: Mommy I'm sorry I didn't mean for god to take the baby from you.
Rachel: Its ok honey. I shouldn't have been chasing you.
Emma: Mommy does this mean you wont have a baby now cause you think god will take it away again?
Rachel: No Emma, mommy & daddy do want to have another baby when the time is right.
Emma hugged her mother & told her she was sorry once more. Rachel & Ross hugged Emma back.
I know this is a really sad story so far. Keep the reviews coming :)
