Chapter 5, A Groovy Kind Of Love
Fast forward to March 12th. Phil and Poppy attended another party. With his friends.
6:37 pm. Poppy was hanging out with Elizabeth, Rebecca and Leanna, while Phil was with Steve and Mitchel.
As they were dancing and enjoying the night, things turned to shit.
Leanna " oh Poppy babe, I think you got your period "
Rebecca looked at Poppy's dress.
Rebecca " hun I'll take you to the bathroom "
Rebecca escorted Poppy to the ladies room.
Poppy " what's happening? is that blood? "
Rebecca " I think it is sweetie "
Poppy " fuck I've got cramping "
Rebecca " darling I think I need to take you to a doctor, this could be serious "
Rebecca could see the fear in Poppy's face, what if she's lost the baby💔
Back at the party.
Leanna " what's happening? "
Poppy " I think I might be losing the baby "
Leanna " your pregnant? why didn't you tell us? "
Poppy " I didn't want to be judged "
Elizabeth " we wouldn't judge you, your our friend, your a part of our gang "
Rebecca " Poppy we need to get you to the hospital "
Leanna " I'm coming with you "
Elizabeth " same here "
Poppy " please don't tell Phil "
Rebecca " no one will tell him but you, it's your news, but right now you and the baby are the most important things "
At the hospital.
Doctor Nik " I'm so sorry to tell you Poppy, you've had a miscarriage "
Poppy bursted into tears 😭
Poppy " oh no, my baby, I've lost my little Angel " 💔😭😭
Rebecca " oh babe, I'm so sorry "
Leanna " we're always here for you Poppy "
Elizabeth " I'm so sorry "
Poppy " thank you girls, thank you doctor Nik, now I have to break the sad news to hubby "
They went back to the party and Poppy asked Phil if they could go home early.
Poppy " babe, I really would like to get home, can we leave early? "
Phil " oh what's wrong baby? of course we can go "
Poppy " I really don't feel good " 😪
Phil " okay sweetheart "
They both said goodbye to everyone and they left the party. In the car. It started to rain.
Phil " baby you seem down, what's eating you up? "
Poppy cried, " I'm so sorry " 😭😭
Phil " for what baby girl, you can tell me anything "
Poppy " I'm so useless, I can't make you happy, I can't even give you a baby " 😭
Phil " what? what do you mean? "
Poppy " I had a miscarriage " 😭😭
Phil's face dropped in shock. He wasn't expecting to hear such devastating news.
Poppy " I'm so sorry, I can't do anything right "
Phil raised his voice " THAT'S NOT TRUE "
Poppy " yes it is, I come into your love life and I fuck everything up for you "
Phil grabbed Poppy's shoulders.
Phil " now you stop it, I've had enough of you putting yourself down, you don't fuck anything up, you are everything to me, your the highlight of my life "
Phil wiped Poppy's tears away.
Poppy " I'm sorry, we tried so hard to have this baby, setting the mood with romantic stuff, and now look what's happened, you're better off without me, I don't want to ruin your life, you deserve someone better, someone who can actually give you a baby "
Phil " if I can't have you, why should I go on with my life? how can I live without you, I deserve you, you deserve me, can't you see you are my whole world, you are the reason why I wake up happy every fucking morning, you are the light at the end of the tunnel, you don't understand how much you mean to me, how much I love you, I'd die for you "
Poppy " and I'd die for you, your so sweet but I mean it, it's best you move on from me, be like old times, just me being your film editor, you being with someone better than me, which will break my heart but I want you to be happy with someone else "
Phil " that will never happen, yes you will still be my video editor but you will also be my wife, I'm not having anyone else, but you, it's not your fault about the baby, and we have plenty of time to start a family, we can try again when your ready, no pressure, I love you, only you matter to me, we will get through this, just please say you'll still marry me, I'm lost without you "
Poppy " I love you and you only matter to me, I hope we can still have children, I can't wait until the day when you become my husband, I wish I could marry you now, I love you so much "
Phil " let's get married soon, I can't wait any longer "
They both made up and hugged. and then drove home.
Back at home.
They had dinner and went to bed. Phil held Poppy in his arms. "
Poppy " I can't believe it, nearly one month pregnant and our baby is gone "
Poppy snapped her fingers, " just like that "
Phil " I can't too, it's such a shock, our little jewel is gone "
Poppy " I hope we won't have any trouble conceiving in the future "
Phil " we won't babe, I promise, everything is going to be alright "
They cuddled for a bit then went to sleep.
The next day.
Poppy had a bath with Phil.
Poppy " baby, I'm sorry if I seemed like a nutter last night, I feel so down about our baby "
Phil kissed Poppy. " I know sweetheart, it's no ones fault, it just wasn't our time to shine yet "
Poppy " so can we try again soon? "
Phil " of course baby, when's your next period? "
Poppy " next month now "
Phil " that was probably a stupid question, let's try when you're ovulating "
Poppy hugged Phil. She hope things turn better this time.
To be continued ❤️
