"I'm sorry ma'am, but you've lost your baby girl.." muttered the doctor sadly. I screamed loudly as my husband, Dante, grabbed onto me breaking down as well. Why was this happening to us! To me.. we had just gotten married last year and all we wanted was a family of our own. He already had a daughter with his ex-wife, Stephanie. Her name is Jade. God she's so precious. Stephanie lost a child once.
I had already lost a baby with my ex-husband as well. His mother and I didn't actually get along. I was trying to get away from her as she chased me. I fell down 3 flights of stairs. Of course I blamed her. I never even got to know the gender.
But this time was different. I felt this baby grow every single day inside of me. My husband was so loving and caring. All he ever did was be there for me and of course, Jade. I admired how he took care of us.
One day, I suggested we take a second honeymoon. I called it a "babymoon" since I was pregnant. He was so up for it! I made us reservations for a hotel and spa in Hawaii. We were one minute in getting on the plane when Stephanie called. I waited for him to get off the phone. "Everything alright?" I asked him soothingly as I saw the worried look on his face spread. "Yeah, Stephanie said Jade had a fever and she's at the doctors with her now." "You should go be with her and Jade" I said. Dante hesitated a little, but eventually he agreed.
"Alright babygirl, I really don't want you to go on the flight by yourself. Please be careful." "I'll be fine love. You can't catch the next flight later this evening." I smiled sadly. He gave me a quick kiss and left. I boarded the plane and arrived in Hawaii hours later. It was so beautiful!
I checked in with the receptionist and let her know what was going on. She gave me my key and I went to our room. It had a view of the ocean. I took in the sight with my soul. As it neared evening, I was fixated on calling Dante until I heard a storm advisory on the radio. "Winds have increased to 90 mph. Please avoid all outdoor activities and flights will be delayed."
"Goddammit!" I muttered exasperated. I quickly call Dante who seemed to be worried as well. "Hey babe, how are my girls?" he asked. I said "We're fine love. How's Jade?" He replied, "She's fine. Hey listen, I'm on my way to you." I hear him talk to the man at the front desk. The man said, "I'm sorry sir, but your flight had been delayed til further notice. It's a terrible windstorm and the planes can't fly in that." Dante argued back and forth with the man. As I listened, I grew more and more panicked.
Dante said to me on the phone, "Baby I'm so sorry, I'm trying to get to you fast as I can!" I said "Baby I..." I stopped short as my stomach cramped terribly. I started gasping and groaning loudly. Dante screamed, "BABY WHAT'S HAPPENING ARE YOU OKAY!?" I was about to answer him as water ran down my legs and made a puddle onto the floor.
"My water just broke." I said before I blacked out completely.
