---------------------------
Carlos and Seb Matthew-Smith-Rodriguez had been happily married for three years, but at this one time, it wasn't a happy time. Seb was pregnant. He told Carlos the news and they were both thrilled to become fathers. But a week after they found out they were a girl, a joyful life came to darkness when tragedy struck them down.
It was the middle of the night as Seb and Carlos were asleep in their bed until Seb woke up with a gasp and started to feel pain inside his stomach.
"Carlos," Seb whispered.
"Carlos. Carlos, wake up!"
"Huh? What?" Carlos groggled as he was waking up.
Carlos turned on the light and put on his glasses.
"What is it, Seb? It's 3:00 in the morning?" he asked.
Seb moaned in pain as he was still holding onto his stomach and Carlos started to feel confused.
"Seb, are you okay?" Carlos asked.
"No," Seb whimpered.
"What's the matter, honey? Is it the baby?" Carlos questioned in worry.
"I think something's wrong with the baby," Seb said.
Then they flipped their bedsheets and saw a big, red stain, which led them to shock as they knew what it was: blood.
"Oh god!" Seb yelled.
"Hold on, Seb! I'll call for help! You call our parents! I promise everything's gonna be okay!" Carlos said.
Carlos dialed 9-1-1 for help and Seb called the parents about the situation on the baby. Then the husbands changed clothes and headed downstairs to the car as they were on their way to the hospital.
----------------------
*hours later*
Seb woke up in a room where he was lying in the hospital bed.
"Hey."
Seb heard a voice that sounded like Carlos. Then he turned his head to see it was Carlos.
"Hey," Seb said.
Carlos, in sorrow, gently stroked the top of Seb's head. Then a doctor came in and Carlos helped Seb sit up on his bed.
"Hello Sebastian," the doctor greeted.
"Oh, please. You can just call me Seb," Seb insisted.
"Okay, then. Listen Seb, I, uh... I'm afraid I have some sad news," the doctor said.
Carlos and Seb had worried looks on their faces as they were embrace the news.
"I'm very sorry. There was a complication with your pregnancy..."
The doctor explained a few things and how the surgery to save the baby had failed. This shocking detail brought tears to Seb and Carlos's eyes the moment they heard from the doctor... Seb had a miscarriage. Then the doctor left and Seb and Carlos had some alone time where they grieved over losing their baby girl.
---------------------
*two weeks later*
It had been two weeks since Seb suffered from a miscarriage two weeks ago, and he was very devastated. He and Carlos had told their families and friends about how they lost the baby, and their hearts were broken for the couple. After they got home from the hospital, Seb and Carlos were given condolences from their loved ones by receiving flowers on their doorstep and heartwarming texts. Seb was still in grief as he couldn't sleep or eat or anything like that, and he refused to get out of bed. Carlos tried to help him get better, but his husband kept pushing him away as he was doing the same between family and friends.
Then Seb finally came to Carlos for comfort he needed and apologized for pushing his husband away from because of how very depressed he had gotten. And all of a sudden, Carlos thought of an idea on having a ceremony for the loss of their unborn child at the farm, and Seb liked the idea. It was going to be simple ceremony as they invited their parents and some of their relatives as well as close friends, including their old high school drama teacher, Miss Jenn.
It was a dark, rainy, autumn evening at the Matthew-Smith family farm where everybody was gathering around, even though some were in tears. The Matthew-Smith and Rodriguez families even brought over some of their homemade food for after the ceremony. Then everybody was being seated as Seb and Carlos stood in front of the guests as the ceremony had officially begun.
"Friends, family, Carlos and I like to thank you all for coming on this cold, gloomy, sorrowful night as we mourn over the loss of our unborn baby daughter," Seb started.
Then he pulled a note card he had written something on before for the ceremony.
"As I quote Narin Grewal, 'Losing a child is like losing your soul. You may put on a front for the world but inside you are dying a little more each day.'"
Seb cleared his throat before he began his speech, "When I told Carlos about the pregnancy, he honestly didn't think it could be possible, and neither did I. But then, I was so blessed that he and I were about to receive a child. By the time we found out that our baby was a girl, we talked over on names, including the ones we shared with each other after saving it for our future children back when we were in high school. And it went on until we finally agreed on a couple of names to combine into a full name we liked..."
And Seb went on with his heartfelt speech until he got very tearful at the end. The same thing went for Carlos's speech. In the end of the ceremony, the two husbands announced the name they saved for their daughter. However, they would not be able to meet her now that she was gone but she would know how her parents loved her very much as they were always going to remember her.
R.I.P. Ava Florencia Matthew-Smith-Rodriguez.
--------------------
*aftermath: a couple of years*
After the loss of Ava Florencia, Seb got pregnant again but he told Carlos he was scared on how the same thing was going to happen to him again, because he couldn't go through with it after losing their daughter from the miscarriage. But Carlos told him that he was going to be right next to him incase anything went wrong for the second time. Carlos told Seb that if he ever felt overwhelmed, he would always be over his shoulder. Seb's second pregnancy was going smoothly and this time, nothing could possibly go wrong. Carlos and Seb found out they were having twins, a boy and girl. A few months later, Seb gave birth to the twins, a son named Jack Bruno and a daughter named Sara Ivy. After being blessed with two new children, Seb and Carlos were finally happy to become parents, and they swore to each other in secrecy to tell their children about their first unborn daughter when they were older if they ever had questions. Meanwhile, their older sister up in heaven would be proud of her fathers for moving on from the past and stepping into the future with their love as strong as ever.
End.
