CONTEXT:

at this point, winter and autumn are home. this is after the roger 'incident'.

------------------------------------------------------------

they walked through the front door. once again, the nursery had brung a very full on day. and of course roger was involved in it.

"winter my sweet i am going to lay down. i dont feel very well." autumn stated.

"okay darling. its probably the stress from today. please take it easy my love" winter replied.

aut headed into there gorgeous bedroom, and winter began to cook. he wasnt a fan of cooking, yet somehow he was brilliant at it.

on the menu today was his world famous pasta. full of veg, with a creamy, cheesy sauce. it was so delicous, at least that was what autumn thought.

winter hated seeing autumn unwell. and he knew the key to cheering her up. cookies. autumn loved a chocolate chip cookie. and even if winter hated cooking, he loved baking.

TW: DEATH..

AUTUMNS POV:

i laid in bed, trying not to move. the pains in my stomach becoming more and more intense by the second. was the baby okay? i hoped and prayed to god that it was.

building up the courage, i pulled my self up and walked to the bathroom. my mind was flooded with awful thoughts, i was terrified. i had built up such a connection with this child. and it all could be gone.

i sat on the toilet. my eyes filled with tears, upon tears. my worst fear had happened. the toilet was full of blood. the blood of what once was my baby.

my heart pounded. my breathing quickened. no. no. no. all those times i had never cried, all those tears flowed out of me. i never expected this to happen. why is it always me? all the time bad things happen to me. what is wrong with me?

winter repeated called my name. i didnt answer. nothing he could do would move me away from here. i was paralysed with sadness.

time stood still. every second felt like an hour. nothing mattered anymore. the one thing that gave me hope, gone. my heart had shattered into a million pieces. with everything that had happened to me, this was what broke me. my baby was gone.

------------------------------------------------------------

winter began to worry. he had called autumns name multiple times and she just hadnt replied. he had a gut feeling something had happened. something bad had happened.

his footsteps echoed throughout the house. he kept repeated one simple phrase.

"darling, are you okay?"

no answer. everytime he said it, no answer. then, he spotted her through the crack of a door. aut sat, sobbing on the toilet. her face into her hands, tears hitting the floor.

"darling. i see you please tell me whats happened." winter said.

no response.

"please just tell me. i wont be mad, and i will protect you if its really bad."

"the baby." autumn said inbetween sobs.

"what about the baby?" winter said, with a worried tone.

"the baby.. had gone." auumn cried.

winter didnt speak. he couldnt speak, shock waves passed through his body like a knife through the heart.

"please talk, winter. the silence is suffocating me" autumn sobbed.

"a-are you okay." winter asked.

"i dont know winter."

------------------------------------------------------------

for a whole hour winter sat outside the bathroom door, and autumn stayed in the bathroom. they sat in total silence, minus the sobs.

without any form of warning, autumn exited. her hair in a messy bun, her eyes streaming with tears and makeup all over her face.

"how are you darli-" winter said with teary eyes, and he was cut off by autumn.

autumn grabbed onto him. she held tighter and tighter. she hugged him for a long, long time. autumn hated hugs, everyone knew that. but today she needed to be held. and held by winter.

"winter i dont know what to do. my whole world has been crushed." autumn said, heartbroken.

"neither do i darling. just please stay strong for me." winter tried to stay strong.

"i cant deal with this winter. i dont care what you say im off to the bar." autumn stormed off without winter being able to catch her.

------------------------------------------------------------

winter didnt know what to do. within a matter of minutes autumn had cried, and then stormed out to the bar.

all he knew was only one person could help him. not reece, defientely not roger and not charlotte. marjorie. if anyone could try and help him it would be her.

wasting no time, he dialed her number in his phone. winter had no doubt in the world that she would pick up. marjorie was ALWAYS on her phone.

"hello winter? what are you calling for?" marjorie asked.

"its autumn." he replied.

"oh is she feeling okay, i heard she was struggling today."

"no marjorie. the baby. its gone...." winter said.

"what. where is autumn. im coming straight away." marjorie said, with a slight sob.

"at the bar. but please try and keep her talking to distract her." winter asked.

"okay." marjorie hung up.

------------------------------------------------------------

10 minutes later:

marjorie drove over as soon as possible. she didnt know what to expect. whether autumn would be blackout drunk. or only drinking lemonade.

marjorie tried to go through scenarios in her head. making sure she would say the correct thing.

she walked in. autumn was sat on a bar stool, staring into space. her eyes were full of tears. mascara was running down her face. and she was wearing winters hoodie.

"hello autumn." marjorie said.
