It was a silent drive back. Wally was trying to focus on the road. It was dark and he couldn't risk hitting something. Kuki was thinking abut her miscarriges. She had her first when she was twenty.
She had been a pregnant for three months. Wally was always swamped with homework or something else, but he did his best to be with his new family. His best wasn't good enough, though. The baby hadn't start kicking yet. Wally shouldv'e known that something was wrong. She waited around for another month. She began to feel cramps and went to the hospital. The doctor had said she had complications. He had tried to avoid saying the word until they could get a hold of the father.
He currently was in class. His phone went off. he checked the number and excused himself knowing some points would be docked.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Beetles?"
"Yes? Is somethin' wrong?"
"I'm sorry to say but your wife has had a miscarriage-"
"I'm on my way. Tell her I'll be there in fifteen minutes." He drove over there as fast as he could. She was trying to get the doctor to tell her what was wrong. He wouldn't
"Look!", she began, "I wanna know what the hell wrong with my baby! I don't give a fuck if he's here or not! I need to know. I can tell him later!"
"Are you sure?" the doctor asked.
"No! I just like yelling at doctors who are being assholes! Yes, I'm sure." Wall walked in.
"Kuks! Are you okay?"
"I would be if someone told what the hell is going on! He wouldn't tell me until you were here!"
"Dude, you fucked up by telling me first. She hates being the last to know."
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
"Mrs. Beetles, I'm sorry but you've had a miscarrige. Most people want someone there when we break the news so I phoned him." Kuki started tearing up.
"Maybe you should just leave," Wally said. The docotr backed out of the room. Wally pulled Kuki into a hug.
"You okay?"
"No." She started crying. "What happend to it?"
"I'm not sure, but we can always try again."
"I bet you won't be here."
"What?"
"I bet you won't be here next time."
"What do you mean?"
"For four months, I brely got to see you. It was always homework or a test or something. Never ever did you stop by my office to check on me. For the first month you didn't know I was pregnant!"
"I'm so sorry. I''ve been so busy I didn't realize I was being missed."
"You were." She was still pretty upset.
"How can I make this up to you?"
"Promise me that you'll be around next time."
"Promise." He held her tighter.
He was around for the next pregnancy and sadly that ended the same way this one did. He was there and that made all the difference in the world.
