I sprint to the bathroom and puke in the toilet. Four comes running in after me and pulls back my hair. I slump down next to the toilet. Four rubs my back, soothing me. So far, pregnancy has been rough for me. Visiting day is tomorrow. I need my mom to help me.

I am two weeks pregnant, and I am slightly more bloated than usual, but it's not noticeable.

When the nausea and puking has ended, I go get breakfast with Four. I'm starving. 

I pack my plate full of eggs, bacon, toast, and cereal. As I'm walking towards my seat, I hear Peter yell at me.

"Hey, Stiff, don't get too fat or Four will divorce you."

I quickly set my plate down and walk over to Peter. 

"Are you the one who's also feeding a child?" I say.

"Stiff, you got a baby in there?" Peter says as he punches my stomach.

I let out a cry of excruciating pain. Four comes running over. I collapse.

"No need to be so dramatic, Stiff," Peter says.

I wriggle in Four's arms through the pain, trying to attack Peter, but it's useless.

Blood starts spilling from me.

"NO!" I scream as I realize what this means. "NO!"

My baby is gone. And I may not be able to have any more.

Everyone is staring at this point. I cry as hard as I've ever cried. Four carried me to the doctor's. We are taken in right away.

All I remember is holding Four's hand.
