"Um I should let the doctor know you're awake," My mother avoided the question.

"Okay you can right after you tell me where my baby is," I didn't understand why my mom was avoiding my request. I would think in this situation she would grant me this one thing.

"Look baby girl I-,"

My mother didn't get to finish her sentence as a nurse with red hair and big blue eyes walked in with pity and sadness filling them.

"Miss White you're awake." She tried her best to mask her pained expression with a joyful smile before I caught it but I still managed to see through her facade.

"Uh yeah um but Nurse..."

"Oh you can just call me Natalie," she said flashing a faint smile in which I returned.

"Natalie, where is my baby?"

I felt clueless and I didn't like it. All I wanted was to just cuddle my daughter in my arms. Why would they withhold that from somebody.

As soon as Natalie heard my words her eyes grew the size of saucers and connected with my mother's. My mother just gave a slight shake of the head as if having a mental conversation and returned her her gaze back to the floor.

"I'm guessing no one told you yet," she bit her lip as tears began to brim her eyes.

I looked at her in bewilderment. What was she talking about? What hasn't anyone told me yet?

"What?"

"I'm sorry to tell you but Miss White..."

--------

Both of them gone.

Both of my babies gone and it's all my fault.

If I would have stayed calm she would be here.

If I would have stopped bugging him to call me back and get to the hospital he would be here.

If I would have just done all those things my heart wouldn't be breaking piece by piece.

But Only if.

Only if.
