It had been 2 hours and Lucy still hadn't spoken a word after she fainted. Paul tried to make her eat something and talk to her so they can think of something to tell the family.
"Lucy , look at me. There must be something we can do. Not speaking isn't going to do anything is it now?
"Well, what should I say Paul? I basically killed my child. How can I be so irresponsible?"
"It wasn't your fault Lucy..."
"It is my fault! I couldn't be a responsible person and look what happened. This is all my fault."
"Lucy, if anything it is my fault. I was the one who said let's do something to celebrate and I was the reason you slipped. Now there isn't anything we can do but we need to think of something to say to the family."
"There's nothing we can do except tell our family the truth."
"Lucy, there must be something we can do. Don't you think there's some way in which everyone is happy?"
"There's nothing we can do Paul. We were irresponsible and that's what made us lose our baby. I don't want to tell the family; the family were so happy and mother- in- law was even more. It was the first child of the family and now it's gone. We have to tell them."
Paul didn't reply and just simply nodded slowly. After two minutes of silence, Lucy spoke.
"We should go, Paul. The doctor said it's alright for me to go and the guilt of the family not knowing is killing me. We need to tell them."
**************************************************
On the way back home, Lucy saw something that caught her eye.
"Paul! I don't want to go home yet!"
Paul reluctantly stopped the car because of Lucy.
"What do you want to do then?" Paul said lazily.
" I want to go Church. it is just around the corner."
**********************************************
After coming out of the Church, Paul and Lucy notice a play
going on and they walk towards it. It was a play about a couple who just lost their baby because of an incident. Paul and Lucy laughed sarcastically at how ironic the situation was.
"How ironic. If only they have a situation to this problem. " Lucy said tiredly.
At the same time, the women spoke.
"What should we do now David?"
"There is one solution but it is completely insane... someone else can give birth to our child.
Paul and Lucy looked at each other at the same time, ignoring the rest of the play as they had found their solution.
"Paul... I think we found our way to solve our problem."
"Yes, Lucy. now all we need is a surrogate mother!"
