Y'all want me?

Chapter 28

Trigger warning... reader discretion is advised.

Lincs POV

It has been a month since we proposed and the wedding planning is in full swing. The ladies have decided that it would be best to wait until after the baby is born before the I dos are said so that and I quote "Eliza can have her choice of dresses and is not limited to maternity gowns". There is something that happens to women when weddings are on the table and I'd rather stay out of it while Nick is more than happy to plan with them. I just smile and tell Eliza that she can have whatever she wants for the wedding and that as long as she says I do, I will be the happiest man alive. As I am lost in my thoughts I hear Eliza scream and I go running to her office.
"Sweetheart, what is wrong?" I say as I see her hunched over her desk.
"I'm not sure, I just felt a sharp pain shoot through my stomach and it wont go away." She whispers as tears soak her cheeks.
Rachel comes running in and immediately calls an ambulance when Eliza tells her what is happening. At that moment I was extremely grful for her because I was almost paralyzed with fear and could not think straight. As soon as I snapped out of it, I rushed to my woman and called Nick to let him know what was happening. By the time I got off the phone with him the EMTs were here and rushing Eliza off. I gave Rachel quick instructions to cancel our meetings for the day and rushed after them to the hospital.  Nick met us there as he was in town grabbing our lunch when I called him.

After almost two hours of waiting for news the doctor finally comes out to let us know we can go to Elizas room. Eliza is sleeping as she had been sedated by the doctor. "What is wrong doctor?" Nick asks as he takes Babygirls hand in his.
"I'm sorry sir, I can not disclose that information right now but will answer when my patient wakes up" he says has he walks out of the room.
"What if something has happened to the baby? Why wont he tell us? Does he not realize we are her fiance's?" I spout as I reach for Elizas hand and try to calm myself. I know that getting worked up will not help anyone right now.

She is only asleep for about thirty minutes when she starts to stir and wakes up in tears. 
"Its the baby, I cant feel her anymore" she sobs as she tries to curl into a ball and disappear. "Shhh, honey dont talk that way, the doctor said he would be back to explain things after you woke up. You dont know if there is something wrong with the baby or if it's something else" I try to calm her fears but silently I can feel she is right. We haven't even found out the gender yet but Eliza had decided the baby was a girl almost since we had discovered she was pregnant. I could only hope that she wasnt having a miscarriage but felt in my soul that she was.

The doctor came in and told us that there was something in Elizas blood that was causing her body to clot and reject the baby. There was something that could have been done if it had been caught sooner but that we had lost the baby. I dont think I have ever felt such heartbreak knowing I would never get to hold our precious little one. Eliza broke at that moment and all I could do was gently scoot her over and hold her tight. I felt Nick grab on to her and hold her as tight as he could while she was in the small hospital bed. We all sobbed against  one another and grieved our little one we never got to meet.

Two weeks later

Elizas POV

I have done nothing but sleep and cry since coming home from the hospital. After they told us we had lost our baby, they said that a dnc would need to be done and that they wanted me to be on bed rest while I recovered. I think my body was healing faster than my heart. I dont understand how I could miss someone this much when I had never even met them. Both of my men had been amazing through this process and I know it broke their hearts to see me like this. My mama had come over almost everyday to help me and to let me know she was here and that it was ok to not be ok. She said that in time my heart would heal and that we would be blessed with other little ones to fill our home but that our little angel would always be with us. I know that I will miss what could have been with this one and that she will always be in my heart. I just hope that the gut wrenching feeling of loss would slowly go away and that the happiness I once felt would come back sooner rather than later, for my sake and my men.
