"Her skirt was blooded. Blood was soaked into her skirt and it was from underneath her."

Mark's Point of View

I felt numb. I felt utterly numb. "Nate and Matt rushed to her and began looking and deducing but they had nothing really there so they couldn't do anything. They had no medical supplies or hospital to run to. The only thing they knew was that the blood was coming from her womb. When they got here and they where rushing with her inside I heard them talking about bruises on her stomach and starving. They said she may have already lost your baby because she was pregnant and possibly she could die."

My eyes we're burning with tears. "E-Excuse me." I broke out of Alexander's hold and headed to the elevator.

"Mark honey-"

"Allow him to clear his head Maria dear." My dad spoke cutting my mom off.

I didn't hear much after that. I clicked the elevator buttons to who ever knows which floor.

I felt as though I couldn't breath. I was worthless. This was all my stupid fault.

I should have carried protection with me and even though that would have never crossed my mind at any time I should have gotten to her sooner.

I had taken too long and that's why she was now in surgery with a great possibility that our baby was d-

The doors dinged and I tried the wipe the tears from my eyes which was stupid because they kept coming regardless.

I walked through the doors and found the corridor quite. Exactly how I wanted it at that moment in time.

I glanced to my left and through my tears I saw window that showed over sixty baby's with small tags made on their little legs.

I tumbled to the ground like a child and wept.

Was this punishment for something that I've done in my past? Had I done something to upset God?

If she or our baby died there would be nothing left for me down here. Heaven would have to make me an offer for I wasn't going to stay down here while they left me.

My brothers have all been in a position similar to mine. Call it a curse if you will. As good as being a Piers man was, nothing and I mean nothing ever came easy for us.

Everything was always so bloody complicated. There was no easy happily ever after, so didn't get any.

I love Mina with every breath of air in my body yet I had never told her this. I didn't even know if I was going to get the chance to.

I had it all planned out. After I took her from Saudi I was going to ask her to marry me. I had asked Mama Jana for her hand in marriage from the day of the ball of Queen Alyana.

I tapped my pocket and felt the small box that my father had carried with him for me. It was an engagement ring.

The doors dinged and I knew someone came onto the floor that I was on. "There ye' be lad."
