Chris POV
The crying got louder. My grip tightened around the phone.
"Hello?"
Nothing. Just crying. My heart started pounding.
"What is it?"
"Chris..."
The way she said my name made my stomach drop.
"What happened?"
More crying. I looked over at Maurice. His smile disappeared immediately.
"What's wrong?" he mouthed.
I couldn't answer.
"Talk to me," I said into the phone.
"Kayla..."
My chest tightened.
"What about Kayla?"
"She woke up."
I closed my eyes. Thank God. For a split second, I thought the worst.
"Okay."
I exhaled.
"That's good."
"No."
Her voice broke.
"It's not."
Every nerve in my body went on edge.
"What happened?"
"She woke up asking questions."
I frowned.
"What questions?"
There was a pause. A long one. Then she whispered,
"About the baby."
My heart stopped. The parking lot disappeared. The truck disappeared. Everything disappeared.
"What about the baby?"
Nobody answered.
"Katrina what about the baby?"
Nothing.
"Tell me what happened."
The sound that came from her didn't even sound human. Just pain. Pure pain. And suddenly I knew. Before she ever said the words. I knew. My knees nearly gave out.
"No."
My voice cracked.
"No."
"Chris..."
"No."
I shook my head even though she couldn't see me.
