"Honey, what's wrong?"

"I'm so sorry."

❀❀❀

My legs shook uncontrollably. My breath goes in an unsteady manner as my heart palpitated in an irregular beat. My eyes stung as it got blurred out by the salty water forming in it, rapidly falling out of my eyes.

The darkness in the room, the steadiness of the air, and the silence throughout the entire house never helped my messed up state. The thought of my love coming home in a few minutes worsened the aching pain in my heart.

I let out a sob.

I can't tell him. I don't know how to.

I failed him.

And just as I thought, the stillness was disturbed by the front door opening. Then it was footsteps on the staircase, footsteps towards the room I try to hide myself in, the door knob twisting, the wooden door creaks as it opened. And there he is.

My back faced him. I couldn't bare to look at him.

Not with the tearstains in my eyes.

Not with the news I try to hide from him.

Not after what happened.

I have to tell him.

But I can't.

"Good night, baby," he says, lying down on his side of the bed. Like he always does.

It is currently 10:36 in the evening. He just came home from work, like he always does. He lies down on the bed, like he always does. He tells me good night, like he always does.

I fiddled with my fingers as the same silence took over the house once again, triggering the breaking out noise inside me.

He needs to know about this.

I just have to tell him.

I need to.

He must know.

"Justin," I croaked. My husband quickly turning around to me.

"You're still awake."

I didn't reply.

"Adam?" He calls. He activated on the lamp on the bedside table next to our bed.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

I couldn't look at him in the eye. "I'm so sorry."

"Why?" He asks.

"Adam, you're scaring me."

"We lost the baby."
