TRIGGER WARNING

Sophie's POV
Charlotte and I have been home from our honey moon for 2 weeks now and I'm 8 months pregnant. I was doing some light cleaning when my phone rang, I picked it up without looking at the caller id, big mistake
"Hello"
"I'm surprised you picked up" Addison
"What the hell do you want Addison"
"I want to apologise"
I scoffed "yea right, what do you really want"
"I'm serious Soph, I feel horrible"
I could hear laughter in the background
"Well you should, goodbye Addison" I hung up the phone, spun around and came face to face with Charlotte.
"Who was that on the phone babe" She said while pulling me into a hug.
"Addison" I could feel the tears threatening to spill
"What the hell did she want" she pulled back to look at me
"She said she wanted to apologise but I heard laughing so I hung up. It doesn't matter anyway" I turned around and went back to cleaning.
"Sophie, talk to me"
"There's nothing to talk about Charlotte, I'm fine. I'm going to go take a shower" I walked off and headed to the bathroom. I turned on the shower, stripped off and sat on the floor of the shower. The tears started falling and wouldn't stop, a few minutes later my wife was pulling me into a hug while I cried. We stayed like that until the water ran cold, she helped me out, dried me and gave me clean clothes, we crawled into bed and let sleep take over.

Next day
"Morning babe, How are you feeling"
I stirred a little before opening my eyes "much better, although the baby needs to come out" I laughed
"Not long now and we will get to meet our kid"
"do you have to work today" I asked while getting out of bed to go pee
"Yea, only for a little bit though, I should be home around lunch time"
"that's sooo loonngggg" I whined
"No no no, none of that, I am not going to look after two children"
I walked out of the bathroom and smirked "you love me"
"That I do" she got up and gave me a kiss
"Stay home, pleaseeeee" I gave her puppy dog eyes
"You really are a child today, aren't you" she half smiled.
"Am not" I frowned
"You are too, I will be home before you know it"
I crossed my arms, pouted and frowned at the same time "well what am I supposed to do"
"That is up to you my love" she kissed me "I've got to go now, love you"
"I love you too, even though your leaving me alone, allll dayyy" I flopped backwards on the bed.
"I'll see you at lunch time Sophie" she called out.

I laid in bed for another, scrolling through my phone before getting up to shower. Once I finished, I got dressed and did some light makeup. I texted charlotte that I was going to get coffee and I would drop some off for her. I grabbed my keys, locked up the house and started driving.
The light went red and looked down at my bump "I can't wait to meet you little one, you've already made me so happy and you are already so loved" I looked up, the light changed to green, I started driving and out of nowhere everything went black.

Charlottes POV
"HURRY UP, I NEED TO GO NOW" tears pooled in my eyes as I yelled at the drivers in front of me. Everything was moving too slow when I needed to move fast
She can't die on me, I can't lose her, not now
The traffic light changed and I sped off.
The hospital is close to the practice but it felt so far away in this moment.
I finally got to the hospital and ran into the emergency room "WHERE IS SHE"
"Dr King, they rushed her in surgery, the doctors are doing everything for her and the baby and  are in there working on the, both now" I nodded and ran into my office, I fell to the floor crying.

Operating Room POV
"The Babies pulse is dropping fast"
"I'm taking the baby out now" the pedal surgeon yelled
The doctors counties working on Sophie, trying to stop the bleeding and stabilise her.
"DAMN IT, starting CPR" the surgeon spent the next 40 minutes trying to save the baby
"Time of death 1:08pm"
The other doctors saved Sophie and was moved into ICU

Charlotte's POV
Everyone from the practice was here now, I had Amelia call Arizona and Jo to let them know and they are flying here on the next flight. It felt like forever before the doctors came out to inform us of how the surgery went
God I hope they're both okay
"Dr king, we managed to stop all the bleeding and stabilise Sophie, they was no head trauma, she's is in the ICU now"
"What about the baby, is our baby okay" the
surgeon looked at the ground
"Is our baby okay" I raised my voice
"We had to do an emergency c-section , however your baby kep-
"Grace, her name is Grace" i spoke firmly, trying my best not to let the worry overtake me
"Grace crashed 4 times and we were unable to save her, I'm very sorry for your loss"
I got up from my chair and walked to the ICU, I quickly found where my girlfriend laid.
I walked into her room, closing the curtain behind me. I barely made it to the chair before breaking down crying
"Please be okay baby, I can't lose you"

The next few weeks went by slowly, everyday I sat in the chair next to her bed, hoping she would wake up and left grieving our little baby girl who neither of us got to meet.
It has been 27 days since the accident and she still has not woken up. I got up from my chair to get some coffee, I went to open the door but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard her voice
Am I dreaming this
"Char" no there it is again, her beautiful voice, i spun around
"Char" I walked back to her bed
"I'm here baby"
"What happened" she croaked out
"There was an accident and y-
She looked down at her stomach and a look of horror flashed across her face
"baby, where's my baby" she cried
"Sophie take deep breathes"
"Where's my baby charlotte, I want my baby"
"They couldn't save her Sophie"
Her gut wrenching cry's of pain ripped my heart out of my chest.
I should have stayed home with her that day
I laid next to her in the hospital and we both cried. She cried because the life growing inside of her was taken from her body and never returned to her. I cried for her because it was like the night 27 days ago when I was told our little girl was gone.
We stayed like this for hours, the tears eventually stopped but neither of us spoke.

"Charlotte, our baby is dead. Our baby is dead and it's all my fault" she spoke softly
I shuffled so I could see her face "this is not your fault, do you understand me, I do not blame you"
"But I'm horrible person, I killed our child" she started sobbing
I pulled her into me "you are not a horrible person. You did not kill our child. This is not your fault. I love you Sophie"
"I love you too"

Next Day

Sophie's POV:
My whole body feels numb, like there's a giant weight on top of me. I killed my baby, it was all my fault. I turned my head to look at charlotte who was sleeping on the pull out bed next to me. How could she still love me after what i did.
I pulled back the blankets and attempted to sit up as quietly as possible. Once i was upright, i used my hands to steady myself while i pushed on my feet trying to stand up, pain started shooting through my leg which caused me to cry out in pain
"oww fuck" i winced, waking charlotte up
"Baby what are you doing" she jumped up from her chair and rushed to my side, helping me back into bed
"What were doing soph, you can't be out of bed yet" i could hear the worry in her voice as she spoke
"I want to leave, i want to go home charlotte" i spoke, anger evident in my voice
"I know baby but you've been in a coma for over a month, we need to talk to the doctors, you need physical therapy, we can't leave yet sweets"
"Please charlotte" i begged, tears falling from my eyes
Charlotte climbed into bed with me, she played with my hair, telling me it was all going to be okay.
How can everything ever be okay again
We stayed in this position for a few hours until we were interrupted by the doctors coming in
I laid frozen in place, the doctors were talking but everything sounded muffled. Some time had passed and the doctors left the room. I still was frozen when i felt charlotte gently shaking me "-ph" "Sophie"
I turned my head to look up at her "huh"
"The doctors are gone now love, did you hear anything they said, you looked zoned out" she gently stroked my cheek
"Im just tired char, i just wanna be at home" i spoke softly
"Soon my love, you have to do a week of physical therapy and then hopefully we can go home"
I just nodded my head slightly and gave her a small smile.
Charlotte and i drifted off into sleep not long after
