Chapter Twenty-four: Share the love

I sat there, stunned by the news, I thought I would be lucky and get a few years before I could no longer have children. I looked up at Lou and he looked as devastated as I felt. I could see the tears welling up in his eyes, he knew as well as I did, that now, the chances of me getting pregnant was bleak.

“Is that really all the time we’ve got?” I whimpered, squeezing Lou’s hand as Dr. Day started stitching me up.

“I’m sorry to tell you like this. You guys are so young.” He couldn’t make eye contact with us.

“Two months just isn’t enough, some people can take years for it to work.” I could feel the tears welling up now. I couldn’t cry here. 

“To top it off sweet heart, you won’t be doing any moving for about a month.” Lou pointed out, trying not to watch the doctor stitching me up and just watch my face, I could tell he was trying to act strong for me.

- On the whole car ride home, Lou and I didn’t say much, I could easily say that he was just as upset about this as I am. All we want is a little boy or girl to love and care about, I want to take my little baby to the park and I want to teach them to walk and talk. I hope I can have a baby, but it will be some sort of miracle. –

“What do you want to eat?” Lou mumbled coming in to sit next to me as I put my diary next to the bed.

“I’m not hungry.”

“Please baby, you need to eat.” Lou begged.

“Why? It’s not like I have anyone else to feed.” I groaned.

“Please, you need to be healthy if we have any chance.” He reasoned kissing me on the cheek.

“Gah!” I moaned rolling onto my side so my head was on his shoulder, and I just lay there quietly, while he stroked my hair and sung me the lullaby he sung for me after what happened with my father.

“Day is done, gone the sun 

From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky 

All is well, safely rest; 

you’re safe and sound.”

He sang that over and over until I fell asleep in his arms, I guess he could tell I was hysterical, and he knows I co-operate more after a rest, he just knows me that well.

“Wake up beautiful, your mum dropped over pumpkin soup.” I could hear Lou’s perfect voice in my ear, like an angels.

“Mmm… Sounds good.” I smiled, kissing Lou on the cheek as he sat next to me on the bed with two bowls of steaming hot pumpkin soup and crumpets with melted butter on them. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

“I’m glad you’re in a better mood.” He smiled, gabbing my hand in his squeezing it lightly before digging in to his soup. It was so hot and creamy just how I liked it, I guess mum feels just as bad for me as I do for myself.

“Yeah I am, if we can’t have kids, we can always adopt, can’t we baby?”

“Yes we can.” He managed to get out between mouthfuls. When he had finished he turned to me, putting both our bowls on the bed-side cabinet and looked me deep in the eyes. “You know what I’ve been thinking?” Lou asked smiling.

“What have you been thinking?” I laughed, he is so adorable.

“I’ve been thinking, that this house is only one bedroom, we’re going to need another bedroom for our little baby.”
