Brian had decided to tell Olivia what had happened before one of the nurses or doctors accidentally spilled it. He wanted Olivia to hear this from him and know his reasoning for choosing her. She didn't get angry... she couldn't. She loved Brian more than anything. Right now, she was grieving. She collapsed into his arms and sobbed until she felt like there were no more tears left.

"I did everything right," she whispered as she pulled away from Brian and let her head fall back onto the thin hospital pillow. "Everything. I didn't drink caffeine, I didn't eat sugary foods, I didn't over work myself... I don't understand how this happened." She closed her eyes and pursed her lips as a small rippled of pain shot through her stomach where her baby used to be.

"You okay?"

Olivia shook her head, "What if I can't get pregnant again? We tried so hard, Bri."

"We'll keep trying," Brian promised.

Olivia sighed, "when do I get to go home?"

"Tomorrow," Brian answered, climbing off of the bed because he had to use the bathroom. He stopped when Olivia grabbed a hold of his hand.

"Don't leave me."

"I'm not," Brian assured her, he had no idea where that came from. He would never leave her. He couldn't. "I'm just going to the bathroom."

Olivia reluctantly let go of his hand and smiled softly when he bent over the railing to kiss her on the forehead.

"Take it easy," Brian said as he helped her wobble into the living room to sit down on the couch. She was still a bit sore from the emergency C-section and she was on strict orders to think things easy for the next few weeks.

"I got it," Olivia snapped as she jerked away from him, regretting the movement as soon she had. She had been snapping with him more and more lately and she wasn't exactly sure why. She was dealing with the loss of what was once going to be her little boy. She was already filled with nerves about having to clean out the nursery and Brian treating her like an invalid was only adding to her stress.

"I'm just trying to help, Liv."

"I know," she snapped again, "I know. I'm sorry."

Brian nodded but didn't comment as he shut the door with his foot and carried Olivia's bag containing her clothes into the laundry room and into the washer. When he walked back into the living room Olivia was crying again.

"Liv..." he said in a voice just above a whisper. He didn't need to ask why she was crying. He made his way over to her and wrapped his arm around her, kissing her gently on the temple. "I know," he whispered into her ear, "I know. Let it out. I'm right here. I'm right here, Liv." He rubbed her back as she continued to let out heart-wrenching sobs. He wished he could make this easier. How do you comfort someone when you're hurting too? How do you comfort someone who just lost a baby? "I wish I could fix this," he added. "It's all my fault..."

"Brian, don't say that. This isn't your fault." She looked him in the eyes and that's when she realized that she was being selfish. Brian had lost the baby too and he was the one who had to make the decision. She couldn't imagine how he must be feeling.

"I feel like it is," Brian admitted, "they asked me to pick," he chuckled, "can you believe that? Why couldn't they save both of you? They didn't even try."

"It's not your fault," Olivia repeated, reaching for his hand and squeezing it tight, "I don't blame you and you can't blame yourself. We will get through this. We get through everything." A small smile appeared on her lips when she realized what she had said. They had been through so much together and this was just another bump in the road. Of course it was hard and incredibly sad but, they would get through it; together.

Brian was speechless so he showed Olivia how he felt instead. He leaned in and passionately kissed her lips, letting their natural sparks fly. "I love you more than anything."

"I love you too," Olivia said as she cupped his cheek. "I hate to ruin the moment but... do you think you can order some pizza or something? I'm starved."

Brian cracked a smile. He knew in that moment that things would end up okay, sure they would be hard but with Olivia by his side he could get through anything. "Of course. Anything for you, my love."

Brian picked up his phone to see that he had two missed calls from his mom. He knew that if he didn't call her back soon she would come over because that's the type of mother she was; always worrying. "We have to tell my mom..."

Olivia swallowed harshly, "call her and invite her over. She can have pizza with us and we can tell her then."

"Are you sure you feel up to it tonight?"

"She needs to know," Olivia nodded, "plus your mom gives really good hugs."

Brian agreed, his mother had that tough that just made everything better. Olivia really enjoyed having Joanna around because she never got to experience what having a loving mother was like before. Joanna was always there when Olivia had a problem and always there to offer advice and to console with loving hugs.

"She's going to want to spend the night," Brian added with an annoyed look on his face.

"It'll be fine, Bri. I like having your mother visit."

Brian sighed and pressed the call button on his phone. He would wait to tell her the news until she arrived. She would noticed something wasn't right as soon as she saw Olivia. If it wasn't her smaller stomach that gave it away it was her eyes that remained red rimmed and puffy. This was going to be a long night.
