"MOMMM" I hear Ellie yell. It sounded serious so I ran as fast as I could to the bathroom upstairs. I opened the door and she was sat there with tears streaming down her face and blood all over her legs and the floor. "Shit" I whisper to myself. "Mom" Ellie says, looking up at me broken. "I've lost her, haven't I?" She asks. I didn't want to answer her, I know how much it would break her heart. "I don't know, baby. I really don't but I think it's a strong possibility.. it's a lot of blood" I tell her, honestly.

"It really hurts" she says, squeezing her eyes shut. "Squeeze my hand, I've got you" I say and she does as I say. "Els, I don't know what to do. I think we might have to go to the hospital" I say considering she was so far along and still young.

I pick up my phone and dial for help, "Hi. My 18 year old daughter is having what looks like a miscarriage and in a lot of pain" I tell the paramedic on the other side. "Okay Ma'am and how far along is your daughter" she asks. "29 weeks" I tell her. "If you can, get her to the emergency room with her age and due to how far she is" she says and I thank her and end the call.

"We need to get you to the hospital, Els" I say. "No" Ellie says worried. "You need to Els, it's an emergency" I tell her, quite sternly but also gently. "I'll grab you some clean pants" I say and rush into her room to grab her some clean underwear and sweatpants.

After she cleaned up the best she could and changed, we rushed into the car and I drove as fast as I could to the hospital. I was panicked and so worried but I couldn't show it in front of Ellie, it would only make her worse.

"Mom, I'm in so much pain. Stop it" she says, groaning and she grabs a hold of my free hand. "Take deep breaths, bubs. Just like that" I tell her. When we pulled up to the hospital, there was a nurse waiting. "Ellie Stokes?" The doctor asks and we nod before putting Els in a wheelchair to help the pain and follow him to a room.

"If you can, change into this gown and we will examine you" she says. "I don't want to Mom" she says, quite clearly anxious. "I know but you have to, they'll only help you" I say. "What if she's gone?" Ellie says as I help her change into the gown. She was still bleeding badly so I gathered she lost the baby but I won't say anything until to doctor has confirmed it.

"If she's gone, she'll be in heaven with your Momma" I say, referring to her biological Mom. "I can't lose her Mom, I've lost too much in my life" she says and I felt awful. Just as I was going to reply, the doctor came in.

Once she put the stirrups up at the end of the bed and asks Els to put her legs on them but Ellie was too upset to even listen. "Ellie, you need to bubs. The doctors going to help you, please" I ask her, and grab a hold of her hand which she squeezes and puts her legs up.

The doctor examines her and it obviously caused pain because she squeezed my hand hard. "I have some news" the doctor says. "I'm sorry to tell you this, Miss Stokes but you've suffered the early stages of a miscarriage" the doctor begins and Ellie bursts into tears. "Except the baby hasn't actually miscarried yet and it's too dangerous to let it happen naturally. I'm afraid you're going to have to perform it as though it is a birth" she explains.

"What but there was loads of blood?" Ellie says shocked, already traumatised enough. "I'm afraid it's the only option because if you don't, you're in risk of losing your life" she explains to us. "So I'm giving birth to a dead baby?" Ellie asks, in between deep breathes. "It will be stillborn, yes. I'm so sorry Miss Stokes. I'll leave you in private for 10 minutes before we start" she says and leaves.

"Mom. I can't" she says, struggling to catch her breathe. "We can't have you at risk Els, you have to" I say and kiss her head and rub her hair, trying anything to calm her down.

We just got home after going surfing, the younger two were still at soccer and Mads and Ellie were nowhere to be seen, the must've went to the mall or something. "You need to walk Milo, remember the deal Liv" I say laughing. "Ugh fine let me shower first" she says and heads upstairs. It was only seconds before she came down, wide eyes like she saw a ghost. "Dad..." she says shocked.

"What's wrong?" I ask confused. "Upstairs... blood... everywhere in the bathroom" she says and I rush upstairs. Blood covered the toilet and a lot of the bathroom floor. "Holy fuck, Ellie!" I say and run to my phone to ring Maddie.

"Maddie? Why is there blood all over the bathroom floor? Where are you two? Is Ellie okay?" I ask panicked as she answers. "Chase. She's had an early miscarriage. We are at the hospital she has to give birth stillborn. Bring Cooper" Maddie says and my heart breaks in pieces. "I'm on my way" I say and end the call. "Liv, you need to walk to Uncle Rudy's with Milo. Please. I'll explain later" I say and rush out the door and drive to pick up Cooper and rush to the hospital.

I read the message of the hospital room number and when we arrive, Ellie was crying uncontrollably and Mads was trying to console her. "Els, I'm here. I'm here" I say holding Ellie's hand as Cooper holds the other. "She's gone Dad" she tells me. "I know, I'm so sorry" I tell her. "I'm sorry Cooper, it's all my fault" she tells Coop. "Don't be stupid, it isn't. As long as you're safe" He says before a doctor comes in and tells her it's time.

The next 20 minutes consisted of lots of sweat, tears and shouting by Ellie. What she was going through right now was traumatic and the poor girl never gets a rest in life. "That's it, your almost done baby" Mads says, stroking Ellie's forehead to calm her down. "You're welcome to see her and cuddle her Miss Stokes if you want but I will warn you, it will be upsetting" the doctor says.

"I don't care. I need to see my baby girls face" Ellie says through tears. Minutes later, a baby was placed on her chest. I looked up at Maddie, who had tears streaming down her face just like me and Cooper. I can't even imagine how Ellie must feel.

I looked down at the baby, she was really small. "Hi Renee. I'm sorry I failed you. You should've been here. You were named after your Grandma you know, she's the best and I wish you could've met her and your Grandpa Chase" Ellie says to her baby. "I love you sweet girl, say hello to grandma Jen for me she'll look after you until I join you both up in heaven real soon" she says, referring about our Mom but the part about her joining them worried me. A lot.

"Baby Renne, it's your Daddy. Your Mommy is the strongest person I know, she's the best. She would've loved watching you grow up, as would I. Have fun in heaven baby girl. I love you" Cooper says.

"Hi baby girl, your Mom is the best and I know she would've taken good care of you. I wish you could've stayed with us and met your family. Fly high sweet girl, Grandma loves you" Maddie says, holding the tiny little hand.

"Oh Renee, you're always going to be special and a part of my life forever. I wish you could've met your Mama...she's amazing and deserves the world. You'll always be my first grandchild" I say.

"You have to say bye now, Miss Stokes" the doctor says and Els takes a deep breath. "I love you so much Renee. I'll see you very soon" she says before the doctor takes her away which causes Ellie to cry more.

"I'm so sorry Coop. It's all my fault" she says crying into Cooper's arms. "Shh, babe it's not your fault at all. It's just life and it's fucking cruel but you're brave and you're going to recover" he tells her. "I'm not fucking brave it's just another reason to wanna leave here" Ellie replies.

"I don't think I can carry on anymore" Ellie says looking into my eyes. She was broken, in every way and it was painful for me to see her like this. "You can, it's going to be tough but you can Els. Please keep fighting we need you here" I tell her and we all just comfort her until she's sleeping on the hospital bed peacefully.

I wish this day never happened. She's was getting so excited to actually have a baby and now it's all over.
