"Ms. Foster, meet your new baby girl." The doctor smiled. I took the small baby in my arms. Even though I'm exhausted, I want to hold my first child. It's so small. So fragile. If only Harry was here to see her.

Of course, work comes first. He missed the birth of his child, because he had a meeting. I find it really sad that he can't even come to his own child's birth. Louis is here though. Since he's the fake father.

As I was holding my baby girl, a pain ran through my stomach. "What's going on?" I asked. Another pain. And another. Another pain came, which made me scream.

The pains weren't in my dream. They're happening right now. "Dad!" I screamed. "Dad!" "Daddy!" I screamed. My dad came running into my room, looking tired. "La. What's wrong?" He asked panicked. "I don't know. Daddy it hurts!" I yelled.

He moved the blankets off of me, and looked down. "Oh my god. Bella, we need to get you to the hospital." He said, reaching for my phone. I looked down at the bed, seeing a massive puddle of blood.

"You're gonna be okay baby. You're gonna be okay." He soothed. "It hurts." I cried. "Shhh. Just try and relax." He replied, pushing my hair back.

"Ms. Foster. Mr. Foster. Friends." The doctor sighed, coming into the hospital room. It's not the same doctor that did the ultrasound, but they said he couldn't come in today.

Jason, Eleanor, Louis, Luke, Calum, Ashton, Michael, Gemma, Harry, and my dad all stood by me. Jason and my dad holding my hands. "I'm very sorry.... But Ms. Foster.... You had a miscarriage. I'm sorry but you lost your baby." The doctor sighed.

"No." I cried. "Shh." My dad whispered, kissing my head. "After we did the ultrasound.... There was no heartbeat. And we ran tests and everything. But the baby is... Gone. I'm very sorry." He said.

I wiped my tears, but more came. I looked over at Harry, who was texting on his phone. "It's two in the morning. And I just lost your child. And you're on the phone." I snapped.

I walked into Harry's house, being greeting by Kaylin. "Bella!" She yelled, running to me. "Hey." I smiled. "You're up early." I said, putting my coat on the couch. "Daddy told me to get up early. Because Aunt Gem is over." She replied.

"Bella." Gemma sighed, hugging me. "How are you feeling?" She asked. "I've.... Been better." I replied. "Just know, I'm here all day. After the breakup and... The lost... I'll do whatever I can for you." She smiled. I nodded.

It's been a week since I had a miscarriage. And in that week, Harry and I broke up. Gemma and I became close. And Daniel, the waiter from the restaurant... Well, we became close.

"Kay, why don't you go get Daddy for work while Bella and I talk." Gemma smiled. Kaylin nodded, and ran to the stairs. "Should I bring his fruit?" She asked. Gemma and nodded, and grabbed a banana.

"How are you doing?" Gemma asked, once Kaylin was upstairs. "Um. Good." I replied. She looked at me. "Don't lie to me." She sighed. "Truth is.... I've been terrible. I have this stain in my mattress, that won't come out. I have no one. I have the ultrasound picture in a frame on my nightstand. I'm barely hanging on." I replied.

"Do you have a doctors appointment today?" She asked. "Yeah. Sadly. They need to check my blood pressure and all that. They need to give me more a-" I got cut off by Harry and Kaylin coming down the stairs.

"Good morning. Thank you for coming today. I know you have a lot on your mind. But I have a huge meeting today." Harry said, rushing around the house. "Yeah. No problem. I just have a doctors appointment today. And I can't take Kaylin with me." I replied. He nodded.

"Okay. I'm going. Have a good day. Be good." Harry said, running to the door. I took a deep breath, and nodded. Thank god for Saturday's. "What do you wanna do today?" I asked. She shrugged, and sat on the couch.

"I think Aunt Gem can take me and you to the doctors. And then how about we go out for some lunch. Maybe go visit Jason." I smiled. She nodded, and smiled.

"Good morning Bella." My doctor smiled, as she walked into the room. "Hello." I smiled back. "How are you feeling?" She asked. "Good." I replied. She nodded.

"So. We're going to take your blood pressure, temperature, blah blah blah." She smiled. I nodded, and sat against the wall. "So, are you still on your pills?" She asked. I looked down. "No, actually. I never got them refilled." I replied. She huffed.

"So, everything seems normal. Blood pressure is perfect. Temperature is normal. But I'm going to put you back on your anti-depressants. And when you run out, call and get them refilled. Remember what happened last time you didn't get the filled." She informed. I nodded.

"And, I'm giving you a no stress relief. No stress, and that's an order." She said. I laughed and nodded. "And Bella, I am very sorry about the baby." She sighed. "Thank you. But looking back at it.... I never really wanted to have a baby right now. I mean, I wanna go out and get drunk, you know." I replied. She nodded.

+++

"So, how was it?" Gemma asked. "Everything's normal. I got put back on my pills. And I have a prescription for no stress." I replied. She nodded, and walked out of the doctors. Kaylin grabbed onto my hand, as we left.

"Are we going to see Jason?" Kaylin asked. "We are. He's waiting." I replied. "Did I tell you I'm back in the dance academy?" I asked. "Bella, that's great!" Gemma exclaimed. I smiled.

+++

"Jason!" I yelled, as I opened his apartment door. Kaylin ran inside, and sat on the couch. "Hey." Jason smiled. "Hi." I replied. A guy walked out of Jason's bedroom, shirtless. "Jason has some company." I smirked.

"Bella, this is Kane. Kane, this is Bella." Jason informed. "So you're Bella. Jase talks very highly of you." Kane smiled. I smiled. "So, are you and Jase dating?" I asked. Kane nodded, and blushed.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend!" I exclaimed, hitting Jason's shoulders. "Well, I didn't want to upset you." He replied. "Jase, I'm fine. I'm over it. Harry and I are still friends. We're still close. And I'm seeing someone else." I replied. He sighed.

"Bella." Gemma breathed. I looked at her. "Your dad just texted me. We need to get you home." She informed. "Why? Is everything okay?" I asked. She shook her head. "You're gonna be devastated." She rambled. "Gem, what happened?" I asked. "There was a break in." She replied. My heart sank. "That's not all." She sighed. "They set your house on fire. Your dad was in the house." She sighed. My heart just got taken out of my body.
