"What do you mean was?" I drop her hands.

"I had a miscarriage." she forces out and hugs me instantly.

I try to form words. "I-I was gonna be a dad?"

"I'm so sorry." she sobs into my chest.

My bottom lip quivers. I wrap my arms around her and hold her close. "I love you." I crack.

I hear leaves crunching in the woods.

Damn deer.

"I brought you lunch." Pierson walks into the station in a big sweater and her hair all messy. "You haven't ate your lunch in days so I don't know if you just don't like my cooking orrrrr..." she trails off.

I hold back my smiles and sadly smile.

"Thank you, love." I take the bag and she frowns. "Hey..." I gently lift her chin and she hums. "I love you. Forever." I softly place a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you too." she frowns. "Yesterday was the hardest day of my life. Knowing I had our baby in there... just for it to be taken away."

"I know, baby. I know. It's hard for me too." I hug her.

Maddox walks in. "Oh sorry-"

"No, you're good."

We pull apart.

"I was just about to tell you that we need to head out..." he trails off.

I nod. "Okay. Give me like five, yeah?"

"Yes sir." Maddox walks off.

I look down at my shirt girlfriend. "I'm so—"

"No no, this can wait." she fakes a smile. "We can talk when you get home."

"Are you su—"

"I love you." she gets on her tippy toes to kiss me before walking off.

I sigh and walk towards the truck.

"You good?" Maddox asks once I hop in. "You guys seem like you've been fighting for awhile..."

"We're not fighting, Maddox. It's none of your fucking business what we're going through, dumbass. Stay out of it." I put the truck in drive and drive off. "I fucking hate searching for missing people." I exhale harshly.

Maddox looks out of his window. "She's not necessarily missing, just a runaway."

"Yeah, well, we gotta find her right?" I speed up.

"Sorry." he shakes his head.

I roll my eyes.
