On the 26th October 20-- a baby died. He could've been the first of two children.
Gender: male
Size: -
Weight: -
Status: Dead.
Extra: could have been a twin.
The not-dead child was named 'Elliot' the dead child wasn't named.
(He would've been called Colin).
The mother and father weren't sure whether to cry happy tears because they had one child or cry sad tears because they lost one child.
They probably did both.
-- years later the not-dead baby, Elliot, looks at pictures of his brother in the womb and wonders-
What kind of a person Collin would've been. Nice? Not nice? Weird? Normal?
There's no point wondering now.
That's what the mother tells her not-dead child.
The not-dead child nods and now he wonders in his head rather than out loud.
