Chapter Three: Baby Joy Part One

September 17 1986

Emily gently ran her hand up and down her belly, which was increasing in size. She gently whispered to it and sang lullabies to it. Even Burt enjoyed feeling the kicks of his future son. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Emily had started sewing. She made a nice, soft, blue blanket for the child. She had also made various sweaters and even a pair of overalls for the child. Emily had already begun painting her son's room. She had set up a nice crib in the center, various toys in the corner with a little toy chest to store them in. She had decorated his room with various paintings that she had painted herself. Emily spent most of her time sewing new outfits for the unborn Kurt. At night, she could often be heard whispering to her belly and stroking it softly, lulling it to sleep with her sweet, angelic voice.

Even Burt was helping with the unborn baby. He helped paint the baby's room and even fashioned a little closet for the child. He also helped move furniture into what would be the baby's room. As he and Emily were moving toys into the baby's room, he asked her.

"Are you sure its a boy?"

"If its a girl, we can always repaint her room." Emily replied. "Plus I also bought a dollhouse and some dresses just in case."

"Alright, good."

"I can't wait for the baby to come." Emily said excitedly.

"Em, its only a few months old." Burt replied. "We haven't even had our first Ultrasound yet."

"I know. But we have one in two weeks, I'm so excited!" Emily clapped her hands together and continued setting up the toys.

Two Weeks Later...

The technician proceded to rub the gel on Emily's belly, she then ran the machine over it to see where the baby was. Emily glanced excitedly at the screen. But nothing was showing up.

"Hmm. Thats strange." The technician shook the machine gently and then tried running it on Emily's belly but still, nothing showed up. The technician smiled at Emily and said "I'll be right back."

In a few minutes, a doctor entered the room. He pulled out a stethescope and put it to Emily's belly.

"Thats odd. I can't hear anything." He muttered to himself. He then tried rubbing more gel on Emily's belly and tried to run the machine one more time. But still, the screen was blank. Emily's worst fear had came true. But she had to hear the confirmation in order for it to really sink in.

"Mrs. Hummel." The doctor said gently. "I'm afraid, you've lost the baby."

It took a moment for the message to sink in. She had lost the baby? After all of her careful planning and all her organizing, she had lost her only child?

"I..I miscarried..?" Emily asked, her voice shaking. She shuddered slightly as she spoke.

"I'm afraid so, Mrs. Hummel. I'm very sorry for your loss." The doctor confirmed it. "I'll give you two some time alone."

He left the room, leaving Emily and Burt alone. Emily slowly ran her hands down her belly.

"Kurt?.." She asked, slightly delirious due to the great emotional turmoil, she was receiving. "Kurt, honey..?"

Burt took her hand gently. "Emily, our baby is dead. Kurt is dead." after seeing Emily begin to tear up, Burt quickly tried to cheer her up. "Its alright." He said, squeezing her hand gently. "We can have another little boy. We can name him Kurt and he'll be even more special than this baby was."

Tears began to run down Emily's face. She sniffled and hiccuped. Burt squeezed her hand gently. "Please don't cry, Em. We can have another one."

"But it took us so long to conceive Kurt." Emily managed to choke out through her tears.

"We'll conceive him again. I promise. And if we don't have any luck then we can go and adopt a kid or we can go to a sperm bank. We can do whatever you want to do."

The young couple lay holding each other with tears running down both of their faces.

End Of Chapter 3! Just in case the timeline is confusing you, 1982 is when they first meet, Burt is 32 and Emily is 22 (Around there), and Burt is in his forties when Kurt is conceived. That would make Burt around late fifites in modern day. Thanks for reading :)
