Don't let this be real...please

Chapter 9

~flashback~

"Can we get icecream?" Marjorie asked with those adorable little doe eyes begging him, He chuckled lightly and rested his hand on her 6 month belly "Is our little girl craving some mint ice cream?" he teased and she hummed looking at him, it was middnight and they were currently in bed "Gorgeous it's midnight." He replies looking at her with a serious expression.

"Please?" she begged, he sighed before nodding and getting out of bed "Are you coming?" He asked and she shook her head "I'm comfy right here." She teased, he rolled his eyes and went over to her and picking her up bridal style "Nope you want ice cream, your coming with." He chuckled and she leaned her head against his chest giggling and humming.

They were both still in pjyamas so they were sure going to get some looks but they didn't care in that moment in time all that mattered was them, and their little girl, he held her hand as he drove to the store and he heard her hum apprecaitiavely and lovingly, he arrived at the store 10 minutes later, parking the car, getting out of it and walking to the passangers seat, and openening the passenger door holding his hand out.

She smiled lightly grabbing his hand and getting out the car she lightly skipped wanting some mint ice cream as she had been craving it a lot lately and especially late at night, she skipped as she scanned the aisles for mint ice cream and grabbing it real quick, and skipping it over to him again and holding it out to him.

"This the one you want gorgeous?" He asked adjusting his keys and grabbing the ice cream for her smiling, he adjusted the car keys and the ice cream holding them in one hand and then holding his hand out for her to hold, she quickly did smiling and leaning into him as they walked down the aisles to go to pay.

Once he payed, they walked out to the car and reece drove them home once again, he held her hand all the way , always relaxing in her touch, he was really in love with her, he was head over heels in love with her, when they got home they sat on the couch rewatching bridgerton with spoons in their hands and reece 'accidently' got some on her nose "Oh sorry gorgeous." He chuckled and she pouted "You know you shouldn't be so mean to me, I'm carrying your baby girl after all." She playfully said, he wiped the ice cream of her nose and pulled her closer to him "OUR baby girl." He spoke and she nodded humming against him.

She put the ice cream on the table and huddled closer to him while he stroked her hair, she felt herself drift off in his arms, dreaming off their future with their baby girl, dreaming of what it will be.

~End of flashback~

What brought her out of her little trance reminscing the past, was him stroking her hair and holding her tighter against him whispering sweet little nothings into her ear, it was then she realised she was crying "Why us?" She sobbed into his chest holding him closer, she felt safe in his arms, she felt secure, she felt grounded.

"I don't know, I'm so sorry gorgeous, you did not deserve this." He spoke into her hair "We didn't deserve this." she added crying into his chest, today she was getting disscharged from the hospital and she was not sure if she was ready to go see back to their house without their baby girl, she wasn't sure she was ready to see all the baby clothes with no baby to put them in.

Why did this have to happen to them? them of all people? why couldn't they just be happy for once, but here they were with both of their hearts broken, Why couldn't it go back to what it used to be? All laughs and smiles, the joy and the happiness, she didn't want to feel this ache in her chest, her arms felt empty like there was meant to have a baby in them, but she had no baby to hold.
