The incubator, and all those cords...

It was all my fault.

Why did I have to fall?

Why did I have to end it so early when she had two more months to go?

All those screams when they took her away from me just broke my heart.

"She has to keep growing." They had told me as they took her from me.

But the panicked look in her eye made me feel like the worst mother.

They said that I could go home after two days, but they didn't say anything about Allison Claire.

I didn't want to leave without her. But it looked like the only possibility.

"I love you, Allison Claire. I'm so sorry." I whispered to her.

She reached through the glass and grabbed my finger.

Maybe she could forgive me, but I couldn't forgive myself.
