Ross's P.O.V
Whatever Laura had was pretty much gone by this morning. She still felt sick but her fever had gone along with her sore stomach and sore head and she had stopped throwing up. She's napping right now and I'm cleaning up the kitchen.
Laura's P.O.V
I woke up and felt strange. Not sick, just strange. I sat up and waited for a while before standing up. I turned around to see blood on the bed. It wasn't a lot, but still a significant amount. If I wasn't pregnant, I would have thought that I'd just got my period early. But since I am pregnant, I know that this isn't good. "R-ross," I call. He runs into the room and looks at me with a worried expression. "What's wrong?" he asked walking towards me. I glanced down at the bed and he followed my eyes. His eyes widened and he gently wrapped his hand around mine, pulling me out the door and into our car.
Ross's P.O.V
"What happened?" I asked Laura. She continued to look out the window and not reply. I moved my hand from the gear stick and set in lightly on her thigh to try and reassure her. She turned her head around to look at me. I met her eyes and smiled softly to try and calm her down a little bit. The tears started to flow from her eyes and I gently grabbed her hand bringing it up to my lips and kissing it softly.

Laura's P.O.V
The doctor came back into the room Ross and I were in after doing several tests on me and the baby. "Is the baby okay?" I asked the doctor. "I'm very sorry to have to tell you this miss Marano and Mr Lynch," She said, taking her hat off, "but you've had an early miscarriage."
Ross's P.O.V
My heart sunk to my feet as those words came out of her mouth. I turned around to look at Laura who was silently sobbing into her hands. "I will leave you two alone for a while. I'm so sorry," The doctor said before leaving the room. I sat down beside Laura and wrapped my arms around her as she cried into my chest.

As we drove home, the reality of the news hit me and tears started rolling down my cheeks. I glanced over to see Laura curled up in a ball, crying into her knees. I rested my hand on the back of her head and rubbed my thumb in circle on the hair.
I pulled into the car park at our apartment and parked the car. We both sat for a while without saying anything. Eventually I looked down and picked up her hand. She looked up at me and the tears continued to fall. I reached across and pull her over to my side of the car. She sat down and buried her face into my neck. My body started to shake because of my crying as I was holding her. She looked up at me and set her hands on my face wiping my tears away with her thumb, but they were soon replaced with new ones. "I'm so sorry," She whispered as a few tears fell down her face. "Laurie this is not your fault why are you apologising?" I asked looking down at her. "Because it is my fault Ross and you can't tell me it's not this time because it is. I know it is!" She exclaimed, pulling away from my arms. "How?" I whispered. "Because the doctor said that it was probably to do with the fact that I was in a coma less than four years ago, and that's my fault Ross!" She said. I shook my head and more tears fell from my eyes, "Laura this is no one's fault okay? These things just happen and no one knows why so let's stop blaming people and things and just try to get through this?" She shook her head and opened the door, climbing out of the car and walking towards the stairs at the opposite end of the car park.
I got out of the car and locked it as I ran after her. "Laura please just talk to me," I said as I followed her up the stairs. She ran up to our apartment and waited for me to unlock the door. "Laura I'm not unlocking this door until you tell me that you know this is not your fault," I said looking down at her. Her eyes filled with tears again. "Please just open the door," She said softly, her voice cracking at the end. I hung my head and unlocked the door as more tears fell from my eyes. She ran into our room and locked the door behind her.
I sat on the couch in the living room and listened to her sob. The tears rolled down my face and dripped off at the end. I can't keep listening to her cry like this. I need to be there for her. I got up off the couch and picked the lock on our door. I walked in to see Laura curled up in a ball on the floor in the corner of our room. I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her. She moved herself so her body was enveloped in mine. I picked her up and carried her over to the bed. I set her down and I lay down beside her. "What are we going to tell everyone?" Laura asked softly. I rolled over so I was facing her. Her eyes were still red and glossy. I set my hands on her face and kissed her forehead. "I don't know baby," I sighed, "but we should probably tell them soon." She nodded her head slowly but didn't say anything. "I know this is so hard for you Laura, it's really hard for me too. But we both know that we can't go through this along. My family have always been my best friends and now they're yours too. It's the right thing to do," I said, rubbing my hand up and down her arm. "Text them and tell them to come over," she whispered. I nodded my head and pulled out my phone. "Who do you want to come?" I asked her. "Your mom, dad, Rydel, the boys, Sab, Liv and Park," She replied. I nodded my head and added their names to my phone so I could send the message at once. I felt my eyes turn glossy as I started to type out the message. I felt Laura's hand snake under my arm and around my waist as she tried to comfort me. I rested my head on her shoulder as I continued to type – "Hi everyone. If your guys could come over to our place in half an hour? We have something to tell you all. Ross x
And It's really important so please come! Laura xx" I smiled softly as Laura took the phone off me to add the bit at the end. She hit the send button.

Laura and I sat on the chair while everyone else came in and sat down. Once everyone else arrived, we stood up. "So..." I started. "We have something to tell you guys..." Laura said, her voice cracking at the end. I looked down and her eyes were glossy. I grabbed her hand and she looked up at me. "So...something happened the other day and we went to the hospital..." I said, trailing off at the end. "What's wrong sweetie?" My mom questioned. "Well..." I said. Laura let go of my hand and sat back down in the chair. She put her hands over her face and started to cry. "What's going on?" Riker asked, looking up at me with a worried expression on his face. "We had a miscarriage okay? We don't have a baby anymore and I'm not going to be a mom!" Laura said. She got up and ran into our bedroom. I hung my head and the tears fell from my eyes. My mom stood up and wrapped her arms around me and I cried into her shoulder.
Sabrina's P.O.V
I stood up and followed Laura into her bedroom. She lay on the bed looking up at the ceiling. "Hey," I said. She sat up and looked at me. Her eyes were red and patchy. I sat down beside her and pulled her into a hug. "It's okay," I said as she cried into my shoulder, "you and Ross are going to get through this." She looked up at me and whispered, "but what if we're never able to have kids?"
"Laura don't talk like that!" I scolded, "You will! And if you can't, is it the worst thing in the world? What about adoption? There's so many possibilities Laura." She nodded her head and wiped away her tears. "Now go back out there," I said pointing to the door, "I think your boyfriend needs you." She nodded her head and stood up, exiting the room.
