Baby girl *Waterloo road*

017🤍

Chloe was still hurting over the fact she had lost the baby. She knew how badly she wanted it. But she also knew that she and Simon had agreed to try again when she felt ready for it.

Chloe sighed as she woke in bed next to Simon. Isla came toddling in. She looked to her mummy. "I have beakfasts now?" She asked as she climbed onto the bed.

Chloe smiled and held her close. She knew how badly she wanted to have another baby. But she knew she had to focus on Isla. And making sure she was happy and healthy.

Chloe got out of bed. She walked through to the kitchen with Isla. She sat her on the counter. "What do you want?" She asked.

"Pancakes!" Isla squealed as she held her arms up in the air.

Chloe made her daughter her pancakes. She sat her at the table and smiled as Simon walked in. "Morning my beautiful girls," he said.

Chloe kissed him and made some coffee. He looked to her. "How do you feel about going back to work today?" He asked.

"Im up for it. I can't hide away forever. I only lost a baby. We can have another when I'm ready," Chloe said as she smiled.

Simon nodded. He kissed her cheek and drank his coffee. He picked up Isla and took her to get changed. "I no finished mine pancakes!" Isla screamed.

"There's nothing on the plate."

"The crumbs!"

Chloe smirked and watched as Simon walked off with their daughter. She knew how messy everything was. But she was just wanting it to be okay.

Chloe went into work. She smiled as Simon kissed her and walked off. Chloe saw her sister and walked over to her. "Hey. How's it going?" She asked.

Grace nodded. "It's good. Are you okay to be back? I know you lost a baby."

"I'm fine. Trust me. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be here. Okay?" Chloe said.

Grace pulled her sister into an hug. She smiled. "Well if you need me to have Isla at any point just let me know. Okay?"

Chloe rolled her eyes. "I'm a big girl. And I'm sure Simon and I can have another baby," she told her sister.

"Okay. Good."

Chloe was sitting in the staffroom. She was sick of everyone asking if she was okay. She was far from okay.

But she knew that everyone keep on asking her was driving her insane.

Simon walked in and smiled. He kissed her. "You having a good day?" He asked.

Chloe nodded. "Would be even better if everyone stopped asking if I was okay. I'm fine. I'd say if I wasn't," she said.

Simon smiled. "They're just worried. Losing a baby is hard."

"I know that. I was the one who lost it. But it's fine. We can try again soon," Chloe said as she stood up answering walked off.

Simon stood there and watched her. He could see how she was struggling. But he had no idea how her mental health was about to take a complete turn for the worst.
