Chapter 8.
Behind dr Collier's back, Will saw a familiar face. Dr Martin was on her way to their room. Will got really scared, what had happened?
"I'm really sorry mr Truman" dr Collier said once the two other had entered the room and he was sure they didn't hear. "I'm afraid that your son has deceased."
"What?" Will blurted out and clasped his mouth with his hand.
He took a quick glance at his wife and his two friends inside the room, they had not given him and the doctor a look yet, but he knew that soon Karen would look for him and see him talking to dr Collier and dr Martin.
"I'm afraid your son died from something we call SID, or Sudden Infant Death" dr Collier said.
Dr Martin had now reached the two men and stood quiet by dr Collier's side.
"How did this happen?" Will asked, now crying.
Dr Martin moved to his side, putting a hand on his arm.
"No one knows" she said. "The doctors can never predict these kinds of situations and no one knows what causes it."
Will looked into the room again, this time he saw Karen looking straight at him, her facial expressiong going from happy to worried and sadness.
"I have to tell Karen" he said and walked inside the room with tears streaming down his face.
"Will, what happened?" Karen said, sounding really worried and scared.
"Karen" Will said, trying to steady his voice but failing completely.
He sat down on the side of the bed, taking Karen's hands in his.
"Karen, sweetie, the baby ... he's dead."
Karen said nothing. Her eyes welled up with tears as she sat in the bed leaned back against the soft pillow.
Jack and Grace stood a little behind Will and they both started crying, Jack putting his arm around Grace's shoulders as she leaned into his embrace.
Karen still didn't say a word, just staring at Will with tears streaming down her face, but not a sound escaped her lips.
"Karen?" Will sobbed.
He leaned his head down, kissing her hands, putting them against his cheek.
Dr Martin had entered the room now, just standing in the doorway, watching. This wasn't good. Karen didn't say anything, sure she was crying, but she didn't make a sound.
Later that night
Karen had still not made a sound, Will had not moved from his position on the bed, he still held her hands in his.
Jack and Grace had gone home, grieving and they had promised to take care of Lucas and to tell Rosario.
Dr Martin entered the room, softly knocking on the door and discretly cleared her throat.
"Will, can I talk to Karen alone for a little while?" she asked. "Then I'd like to talk to you."
Will nodded, kissed Karen's hands and got off the bed and out of the room. He sat down on a chair just outside the room, the door closed. He held his head in his hands, letting his tears once more flow freely.
"Will?" he heard a familiar voice.
He looked up and saw Grace stand there, looking down at him.
"Why?" he asked as he broke down, leaned forward in the chair and buried his face in his hands.
Grace sat down on the chair next to him and wrapped her arms around him, crying with him.
"I don't know Will, I don't know" she whispered.
