18|Love Of My Life

"Try not to worry to much, it's not good for either of you." I stare wordlessly at the nurse who sends me a small smile and leaves me alone in the room.

That's how I seem to be a lot of the time lately; alone. No matter how much I donation I gather about Grayson, I still feel the empty hole inside me that seems to grow by the day. Sometimes, I wander if all this is for nothing. If all this is just hope. Hope that he didn't really leave me and that I'm not true my alone.

Maybe it's just that, maybe it's just becoming so lonely that I'm running on hope to save me. They say that don't they? That once a tragedy hits, the best people can do is hope for better to come. But once you realise holding is useless and there nothing you can do, the pain seems to hit you all over again.

But so much more painful.

The door opens revealing a tall, curly haired  doctor. His eyes shining as he smiles at me, shutting the door softly behind him. A white coat rests on his broad shoulders and in black stitched thread, is his name.

"Hello, my name is Dr. Hunt, Miss Quinn I presume." He sends me another smile as he looks up from the clip bored In front of him.

"That's me." I mutter quietly. 

"What's made you come in here today?" He walks towards the drip beside me, picking up tube and inspecting it.

"I had pains in my stomach." I mutter again, ignoring it weird checks.

"You're in your first trimester, correct?" I nod my head wordlessly. "Mind if I take a quick look?" I shake my head and he nods his head once.

Just like the other toiled I had an ultra sound, he swivels onto a chair and comes beside the bed, lifting up my T-shirt and squirting the same jelly like substance onto my skin and looking towards the black and out screen.

It's silent as I sit there while he moves the device around my stomach. Then I hear it, a small heartbeat. I close my eyes just listening to the same sound. My throat closing up and tears brewing. I'm so happy that there's a heartbeat.

Holy shit...there's a heartbeat.

"Mmm, it's a bit smaller then I would like. But nothing we can't fix with some greasy food." He turns to me with a smile and then back at the screen.

"So, my baby's okay?" I whisper, terrified of the answer.

"There's nothing to be worried about. I would like to however talk about the pain." He cleans my stomach and swivels to face me.

"There nothing much to say. They just suddenly came and got worse." He nods his head listening carefully.

"How have you been lately? Any stress?"

...the love of my life died. "Nope. Nothing." I shake my head.  I think he died anyway.

"Have you been putting a strain on your body that could cause this. Do you workout perhaps?"
