Ch. 2
Too Many Tears

As the doctor left I was in a state of total shock. It was like I was transported to another world, a world of pain and confusion.

I am numb from head to toe. My brain's thoughts moving overtime on a wheel spinning faster and faster. Tears sprung to my eyes like weeds, threatening to fall but not quite falling over.

Hurt and pain...

Pain and hurt...

I just sat there in my state until Harry found me at an unknown time later. I didn't even realize he came in until he held my trembling hand in his strong, warm ones.

"Bethany? Beth, what's wrong? Why did you pass out back there?" He rubbed my back to soothe me but all I felt was the pain.

He just whispered sweet words to calm me but I felt like I never will. How can you be calm when the world is crashing down on top of you and there is no way of stoping it?

But despite my thoughts I finally sobbed no more. The tears dried up and I stared into the brilliant green eyes of my boyfriend.

"Ha-harry?" I barely got out.

"Hmmm..." harry escorted a lock of my ear back to behind my ear. "What happened? What's going on babe?"

I grimaced at the name he called me but smiled quickly to cover it up. "Harry, the doctor came in to tell me why I passed out."

"And... what did he tell you?" Harry urged on, entwining our fingers together.

"Harry..." I sighed and tried to gather the courage needed to tell him this. A small tear escaped my eye and traveled down my cheek before the kind hands of Harry wiped them away.

"Harry, we were going to have a baby...."
