Pregnant Little Liars

Reality Hits

*Emily's POV*

It's now five in the morning. I sit in the waiting room anxiously awaiting the results. I was able to move to a more comfortable seating area. I glance at my phone to see if I heard anything from the girls. Nothing. I decide I should try to call them one more time. They won't be in as deep of a sleep now. I unlock my phone and dial Hanna. I wait for her to answer, but she doesn't. It goes straight to voice mail. I try again. This time it rings four times, before she finally answers!

"Seriously Em, what? Can't a girl get her beauty sleep?" her voice is groggy, and she yawns. I don't hesitate.

"Spencer was taken by ambulance at three in the morning, because they thought she was having a miscarriage. We are at the hospital now waiting for the results. Please come now!" I finish without skipping a beat. Heavy breathing comes from the other line.

"Oh my god... I'll be right over. Call Aria, I'll pick her up!" Hanna says, and then hangs up. I quickly dial Aria's number. The first time it goes to voicemail, so I try again. The second time goes to voicemail, so I try one more time.

"Come on, come on!" I shout. With my luck, it goes to voicemail, again. I decide to try and call Ezra. The first time it went straight to voicemail, but to my relief, the second time I tried, he answered.

"Hello?" a sweet high pitched voice answers from the other end. It's definitely not Ezra.

"Aria?" I ask.

"Emily? What's wrong? Is everything okay? Why did you call? Did something happen?" I cut her off.

"Spencer's in the hospital." I blurt.

"What?" Aria asks in disbelief.

"They think Spencer's having a miscarriage." I say. "You need to get up. Hanna is on her way to pick you up. She should be there any minute!"

"Okay." Aria says, and hangs up. I breathe a sigh of relief, and close my eyes.

One hour later

I sit up and rub my eyes. I must have fallen asleep! I glance at the clock on the wall. One hour has passed since the last time I looked. I lean back and yawn. The waiting room is now nearly empty! Only a middle-aged woman and her husband wait with a present wrapped in blue paper with the words 'It's a Boy' on the front in sparkly letters.

Aria and Hanna walk in both dressed in sleeping robes and slippers. Neither of their hair looks as though it's been brushed, and they still have dark bags under their eyes. I'm not judging. I'm dressed in my pajamas with bed head, and I don't have make up on either. Aria and Hanna rush over to me.

"Emily!" they both cry in unison. "How is she? Have you heard anything? What did we miss?" they ask in a panicked rush.

"Slow down you guys." I say. "I haven't heard anything, and I don't know how she is. Toby has been back there for over two hours with her." I say honestly. The girls frown.

"I hope we can see her soon." Hanna says.

"And I hope she and the babies are okay." Aria adds, glancing down at her stomach. " I can't imagine what I would do if I lost these two."

Just then, as if on cue, the same red headed nurse that took Toby back appears in the doorway.

"Ms. Hastings has requested to see you." She says. The girls and I stand up and follow her down the hall. My worry increases with every step I take. Finally, she stops in front of room 235, how coincidental. She takes out a key and unlocks the door. The three of us file inside.

"Spencer!" we all cry running over. As soon as Spencer sees us, she bursts into tears. The four of us stop caught off guard. Toby sits in the corner of the room. His eyes are glazed over, and the edges are swollen and red. I can tell he's been crying. Spencer tries to wipe away the tears, but they just come flooding back.

"The babies didn't make it." she cries between sobs. "I lost them. They're gone."

The girls and I don't know how to respond. We immediately wrap Spencer up in a group hug. Tears fill my eyes. Even though I'm only three months pregnant, I can't imagine what it would be like not to have my baby in my life. I'm anxiously awaiting the moment that I get to hold it for the very first time. I just can't even fathom what it would be like to find out that I lost it only three months before I could meet it.

I glance over to Aria and Hanna. Tears are spilling over both of their cheeks. My heart aches for Spencer. She doesn't deserve this! She finally had some positive things in her life and mother nature had to ruin that for her. She's never been happy! She's always gotten the short end of the stick for everything!

Once we pull away from our hug, Spencer places a hand on her stomach and looks up at us. Tears continue to fall in a steady stream down her face.

"It pains me." she starts, looking down at her still bulging stomach. "To think that I will never be able to hold them, or kiss them, or talk to them, or cuddle with them, or feed them, or play with them. I won't be able to do anything with them." she says, taking deep breaths before she starts again. "And the worst part is, I still have to carry them for four more months."

"Wait what?" I ask, not following what she said.

"I lost Bella, she died, and left my body." Spencer says. She starts to sob again.

"The boys are still born. Their bodies are still inside of me, but their spirits have gone with Bella." Aria puts a hand over her mouth, and a stray tear drips off her cheek.

"I still have to give birth to my boys." she says sobbing. "But I can't right now. My body is too fragile to deliver right now. When I do deliver, the doctors will take them away, and I will never be able to see them again!" her body collapses and shakes violently with sobs. My heart breaks for Spencer.

Aria, Hanna, Toby, and I wrap into one big group hug. Spencer and Toby are both crying hysterically, and the rest of us are shedding tears too.

"Why?" I think to myself. "Why did this have to happen Spencer?"
