3 weeks later.

Charlotte's POV:

I was now back in London, with Caspar and Alfie. I was now also 16 weeks pregnant.

I had told the guys and a few other people about the pregnancy and they had advised that I keep it. They offered their help and as said, Jim and Tan had managed to get me a job at gleam. I work in the office and I have to say, everyone here are so incredible.

Today I was off as I had an appointment to find out the gender of the baby. As Zoe knew and she is my best friend and Tan wasn't available, I asked her to come to which she quickly agreed.

"So who's is it then? If it's not Joe's or Brandon's?" She asked and I began to worry.

"Can we talk about it later? I've already had to explain it twice and I can't do it again right now." "Of course." She smiled.

We arrived at the hospital and were soon called to the room.

"Okay so you are 16 weeks, correct?" My doctor asked and I nodded.

"17 tomorrow."
"Okay. Would you like to know the gender?"

"Yes please."
"Okay take a seat." I pulled up my top and he applied to chilled gel to my slightly swollen stomach. Zoe took a seat next me and we waited anxiously.

"Congratulations, it seems you are having... twins."
"What?!"

"Twins, a little boy and a little girl, congratulations, I will go grab the prints, how many would you like?"
"4 please." I smiled and she headed out.

"Twins how exciting!" Zoe giggled.

"How am I meant to handle twins? I can barely look after myself."

"You'll find a way, we're all here to help, just enjoy the moment and try not to stress C, it'll be fine." I smiled at her words and pulled her into an embrace.

"I'm so happy you're back." She grinned.

"Me too Zo."

"Okay here you go, schedule another appointment for 2 months time. You're free to go." I wiped the gel from my stomach and made my way out.

"How about some shopping?" Zoe asked and I nodded along.

"Sure but can we grab some food first? I'm starving."
"I was going to say the same." Zoe giggled.

2 weeks later.

I woke up to a sharp pain in the side of my stomach. I jolted up and saw that it was 3am so I attempted not to scream. I felt it again and sat up, I looked down to see the white sheets were now red and I screamed in fear.

Alfie soon ran in and turned on the lights as he asked what happened, he looked at me and then looked to where I was looking.

"We've got to get you to hospital C. Are you okay?!"

"I'm just in pain and BLEEDING!" I screamed at him the instantly felt guilty.

"Sorry." I said and he shook his head.

"It's okay you're just worried but please try to stay calm." He lifted me from the bed and carried me out to the car.

"Wait here." He ran back inside and soon came out holding some towels.

"Sit on these."
"Really?" I asked and laughed at his actions.

"I care about my care and don't particularly want blood stains on the-" I interrupted him with a loud scream.

"Let's just get in and go." He said and helped me inside.

"What about Caspar?!" I asked.

"He's at Josh's for the weekend in South Africa."

"Oh yeah, right let's go, I'll make some calls on the way." He nodded and we drove towards the hospital.

"Hey Caspar, please call me back when you get this, I really need to talk to you. I love you."

Someone finally picked up after calling like 8 different people.

J: "Hey Charlotte, are you okay? It's 3:30 in the morning."

C:"Hey Jim, can you wake Tan and come to the hospital? Me and Alf are on the way now and- ouch!" I yelped out in pain and began to cry.

J: "C we're on our way what happened?!" He was now sounding like he was running and very worried.

C: "I woke up in pain and when I looked down, blood was everywhere. I think I'm having a miscarriage."

J: "Okay we're getting in the car now, we'll be there soon, stay strong okay?" He asked.

C: "Thank you Jim."

And with that I hung up and we arrived at the hospital.

Alfie carried me in and the rest seemed to be in slow motion. I was taken to a room and people were gathered around me checking on the babies and finding out what was happening.

Everything finally slowed down an hour later and when I woke up, I was joined in the room by Alfie, Tan and Jim. I must have passed or fell asleep after the doctors had left.

"What happened, is everything okay?!" I shot up.

"Charlotte." Alfie smiled weakly. I looked like they'd all been crying and Jim looked a little frustrated.

"What happened? How long was I out?"
"You fell asleep after the doctors had left and it's now noon so about 7 hours. At first they wouldn't let us see you, they let us in at about 9."
"Jim? Tan? Can you please tell me what happened if you know? Alfie keeps dodging my question." I turned to face the and Tan came to hug me.

"Charlotte, we're so sorry."
"What happened?" I asked again, getting a little agitated.

"They wouldn't tell us as we aren't family but we did hear the say 'Time of death, 3:52.' We don't know it it was both or not but I think you should maybe speak to your doctor."

"I'll grab her." Alfie looked at me and I smiled weakly.

"Miss Lee. We have some information on what happened last night. Would you like your friends to stay?" She asked and I nodded. Tears slowly streaming down my face.

"You lost your baby boy. Your daughter is perfectly healthy however there is a small problem we found."
"What is it?" I asked, I was now silently sobbing and everyone was stood around me trying to comfort me.

"You have placenta previa. It means that we may have to complete a c-section when you go into labour to ensure the most amount of safety possible, there is a chance that you will not survive the pregnancy however in which you may choose to abort. Again, I'm sorry for your loss, I will give you some time to think." She smiled weakly and walked out.

"Of course this would happen to me." I cried and Tan held me tight as she cried too.

"Do you know what you want to do?" Alfie asked sincerely and I shook my head, I'm glad he was brave enough to ask.

"If I keep her, I could die, we could both die. However there's a chance we could live. Or I could just get rid of my daughter without giving it a shot. I think I would rather risk it knowing the possibilities than just give up. I've already lost one, I'd like to not lose the other." I smiled weakly and they nodded.

"No matter what happens, know that we love you." Jim smiled and Alfie and Tan nodded.

"When does Caspar get back?" I asked Alfie.

"His plane lands at 2. I can go get him if you want and bring him here. You'll be here until morning at least anyway." I nodded and thanked him and he headed out after asking Jim and Tan if they could stay while he was gone and they agreed.

I just hope we can make it through this, for Oliver's sake.

A/N: If you're wondering who Oliver is, it's the baby boy she just lost. Oliver Mason Lee.
