Chapter 19.
The procedure
Karen was prepared and after another 15 minutes they started the procedure. Will held her hand during the entire time, he stroked her hair and planted kisses on top of her head and her forehead. He tried to do everything to make it easier for her. Of course he couldn't take away the pain of having someone poking around in your lower regions and he couldn't take away the pain in her heart, but he tried to.
Tears were streaming down Karen's face the entire time. She hurt, both physically and mentally. It was to late to back out now but she felt guilty of removing it from her. It was a life after all, a life that couldn't help how it was conceived.
After about ten minutes that seemed like a lifetime, it was done and the doctor looked up at the Karen and said:
"Then mrs Walker, we're finished. Your therapist is just outside and she'll come in soon, OK?"
Karen didn't say anything, she closed her eyes and sighed out of relief and all the emotions came out and she cried her heart out again. Will held her hand and tried to comfort her the best that he could and his heart broke into a thousand pieces once again for this fragile woman who had become so dear to him during the past couple of months.
"Oh Karen" he whispered in her ear. "You're so brave. I love you."
She didn't say anything or look up at him, but she had her eyes closed and still crying.
She got a bed in the hospital to stay over night for observation and Will promised to stay the rest of the day and the night. They got a bed for him and put it up next to Karen's. The therapist came in and talked to Karen.
"Mr Truman, she's going to need someone for support during this griefing process now" dr Martin said when Will followed her out of the room after the session.
Will had been to that session, but had sat in a quiet corner, just so Karen could see him.
"Yes, I know and I've promised her to stay at her house until she gets better, I made that promise when the whole thing happened at the start" Will answered.
"Alright. Good. I want to see her within a week. Make sure she gets to that appointment."
"Absolutely."
Dr Martin left and Will got back to Karen's bed. It was now late at night and it was time for bed. Will made himself ready and laid down on the extra bed that had been put in and pulled the blanket over him. Karen was already asleep so he didn't want to disturb her, it had been an absolutely exhausting day.
A few hours later Will woke up from a scream and looked around him, confused before realizing where he was and what had happened. He looked at Karen's bed and she was sitting in it, half panicking and half paralyzed.
"Karen, what's wrong? I'm here. Shh" Will tried to comfort her and sat down on her bed next to her.
She looked at him, it took a few seconds before she recognized him and then she calmed down slightly.
"It was all a bad dream Kare" Will said and took her hand.
"It was so real" Karen started to sob. "I dreamt that they didn't get the baby out completely. That she still is in there and that she's alive and well."
"Don't worry Karen, they got it all out and you are fine" Will tried to soothe her while holding her hand and softly rubbing her back.
Karen broke down completely and felt so guilty about killing her baby. All Will could do was to be there. He wished he could take her pain away and take over it so she didn't have to feel it at all, but he couldn't. Oh how bad he wanted to take over it so she could be comfortable.
