Luck of the heart

Chapter Thirty Nine: Loss

   Finn finishes loading our bags into Logan's Jeep. He is reluctantly giving us a ride to the airport.
     It's been three weeks since I came back from Ohio. I decided to stay in my dorm room until Spring semester. My counselor believes I should have no issues finishing out the Spring and then transferring to another school. Which will be around the time our son will be here.
   Finn couldn't control his excitement when I told him we were having a boy. My brothers either. We are telling his family this weekend.

   My moms rehab is going well and she has been able to move around with the help of a walker. Small steps but progress. I hate not seeing my family for Christmas but they understand and we are doing a late Christmas next week.
   The roads are slick and I close my eyes the whole way to the air port.
    "We made it, love." Finn taps my shoulder when we pull up to the drop off zone at Metro Airport.
    Finn grabs our bags and we rush to make our flight. We make it to the gate for last call and the rush us aboard.
    "We made it." He smiles as we buckle our seat belts.
     "Now go face your family." I sigh feeling my nerves take over.
  " They are going to love you." He smiles grabbing my hand.

   The flight is not nearly as long as I hoped it would be. Finn and I make our way to baggage claim . Once outside he grabs a taxi. Everyone is so busy and in a rush. I notice as the taxi moves in and out of traffic.
   I hold onto Finn's arm and close my eyes as he curses at the driver for not being more careful.

  I hear a scream and the sound of metal scrapping and then nothing.

  "Would you shut the fuck up." I hear Finn yell and I open my eyes.
   "She's awake." A woman says staring down at me.
  My eyes look around the room until I find Finn.
   "Finn." I manage to whisper. He has a cut above his eye and his arm looks like it's it's in a cast.
   The taxi we were in an accident.
   "The baby?" I ask grabbing my stomach.
   "I'll let you two talk." The woman says leaving the room.

   "Is he okay?" I ask looking into his eyes and right away I know the answer.
   "I'm sorry, love." He shakes his head.
Tears stream down my face. "No." I cry shaking my head.

   "I called your family and Caleb is coming."
He says softly as a tear runs down his face.

  "Hi there doll." A nurse says walking in my room. "The doctor is going to be here in a minute to look at you. You scared us there for a second. " she says with a flat tone looking over the chart.

A tall man enters my room and starts talking to the nurse. I can't follow what they are saying this is all too much. I feel fine. My baby is fine. This is a nightmare.
He starts to explain to me about how I already passed the baby and I start to lose it.

"Shit can't we do this later?" Finn growls at him when he sees me upset.
The doctor nods and gives the nurse orders to give me something for the pain.
What pain? The pain in my heart for the loss of my son? I scream in my head.

The woman from earlier comes back. She whispers to Finn and that's when I notice the resemblance. It has be be his mom. She isn't at all what I expected. She is dressed in designer clothes and her accent is more pronounced then Finn's.
"Jesus Ma." Finn yells at her. I try to catch what they are saying but only catch relief and money?

"Leave." He yells closing the door
"What's going on?" I ask trying to sit up. "Shit." I wince. So that's the pain he was talking about. I think to myself as I feel the intense cramping and along with the feeling of every muscle in my body aching all at once.
"Are you okay, love?" He says sitting next to me.
"Are you? I imagine that was your ma and she seems to love me." I frown.

"Don't worry about her." He sighs.
"You broke your arm." I frown touching his arm.
"It's nothing, love." He shakes his head.
"The baby he is really gone?" I ask softly.
" I'm sorry. " He says again as tears fall down his cheeks.
