Sorry. You all should hate me, but it needed to happen. This chapter is kinda difficult.

"Ms. Harrison, I'm afraid that's not in the question. You see, Jude miscarried today. The baby is…gone." With that, he disappeared, and Tommy turned to Sadie, shocked.

Tommy raced down the hall to Jude's room, anxious to see her. He left Sadie to explain to the rest of the crew, knowing that she would come up with something to tell them.

When he got to her room, his heart broke as he witnessed her sobbing, curled up in a ball on the bed. He made his way over to her, laying one hand on her shoulder. She flinched.

"Jude." Tommy said, emotion thick in his voice.

"How can you even look at me right now?" Jude said through her sobs.

"What do you mean?" he asked in confusion.

"I failed you, Tommy. It was my job to carry the baby, and I failed. My body couldn't handle it. I can't stand myself right now." Jude whispered.

"Jude, you didn't fail. There's only so much that you can do. The rest is…up to God." Tommy finished lamely. Jude snorted.

"You said that? I can't believe you actually said that! Who knew you were so religious, Tom?" Sadie said furiously. She had caught Tommy leaving Jude's room, running a hand through his hair. When she asked him what happened, he told her briefly.

Shaking her head, Sadie handed Tommy her coat and purse.

"Wait, where are you going?" Tommy asked.

"I'm going in there to fix your mistake." Sadie said, pulling her hair into a ponytail before entering Jude's room.

Tommy watched from the door as Sadie climbed into Jude's bed and held her sister gently.

"Jude, sweetheart?" Sadie said softly, waiting for Jude to start talking.

"Sadie, I failed him. My body killed our child. He must hate me right now. God, I hate myself."

"Jude, he doesn't hate you. It's not your fault you lost the baby." Sadie whispered.

"How do you know, Sadie? You don't know what's going on in his head. He has to hate me. I don't even blame him." Jude sobbed into Sadie's arm.

"Oh, honey. He doesn't hate you. If he did, do you really think he'd still be here. He doesn't blame you for what happened. Nobody does. Things like this happen. It's not your fault, Jude. The doctor says you're going to make a full recovery. You're still going to be able to have other kids." Sadie said, rubbing Jude's back. "You two are going to be fine. I promise."

"How do you know?" Jude repeated, while allowing a small amount of hope to re-enter her mind. Maybe it would work out.

"Because it's you. Even when I was dating Tom, I knew that we wouldn't work out. Nothing comes in between you guys." Jude smiled a bit, then clung to Sadie. "Jude, I am very sorry about the baby."

"Yeah." Jude whispered.
