the povs are all over the place oops sorry

The time finally came. The doctor came out and brought Adam into the room with Elizabeth, he sat with her holding her hand. "As you can guess it's not good news unfortunately, you did have a miscarriage", he says and Elizabeth's head falls down infront of her. "You will some post pregnancy symptoms but no bleeding should be happening at all, you lost quite a lot of blood so we suggest taking it slow for the next week. I'm very sorry for your loss. We would recommend not having sex for at least a week if you do it can be painful but nothing bad will happen if you did". He says and leaves the room.

Her and Adam both sat in silence and he got on the bed with her so they could cry together. "Where's your dad?".

"They left a few hours ago".

"Wait what time is it?", she lifts her head up. "7pm! You waited all night in this place?".

"I'd wait a whole week. There's no way I'm leaving you", he holds her face. "I'm sorry this happened to us".

"So am I". They hold eachother for a few minutes in a sad silence yet knowing they'd always be there for eachother made them feel warm in parts. "They said I can leave, I just want to go home with you".

"Well I want to clear all the baby stuff out first".

"No don't, keep it", she says getting up. "We can save it", she smiles and looks down at her stomach.

"Well I don't want to keep it out, I want it in a room". He was hurting. Of course he was but she wasn't expecting him to be as hurt. "Get changed and I'll meet you outside", he stands up and walks out waiting for Elizabeth.
She was wearing some leggings Cheryl had brought and in her hand she had her dress which was covered in blood. "They didn't throw that away?", he takes it from her. "Excuse me we don't want this. It had a out dead babies blood all over it", he sounded angry.

"Adam", she takes his arm. "Here", he throws it into a bin and they walk to the car outside. "Is your dad still at home?".

"He's going later on", he sits in the car and Elizabeth felt his energy making her tense. Adam starts driving home and turns the radio on.

"This song sucks", she turns it over. "Oh my god". She realises what it was.

"What?".

"The song, this song was playing when I first met you, the night we got drunk. It's heroes!".

"You remember that?", he asks surprised.

"Of course I remember, I remember our first everything", she says then while she starts signing along he starts to smile.

'We can be heroes, just for one day. I, I will be king! And you, You will be queen. Nothing, will drive us away, we can be heroes! Just for one day'.

"I love seeing you smile", she says dancing still. "It makes me happy".

"We can be heroes!", he sings over her. "Just for one day!", they both laugh and the song fades out and it's like they got the news all over again.

He turns off the radio and pulls into the driveway. Elizabeth still hadn't got over the beautiful house they lived in. "Do you want to get takeout later?", she asks him. It was like all the of the Happy was left in the car, he throws his keys to the table and grabs a beer before sitting on the couch. "Adam?".

"What?", he turns on the tv.

"I'm going to bed", she sighs not wanting to deal with him tonight. "You know with the way you're acting it's as if you almost bled to death earlier this morning. Like you had a child ripped from you".

"What did you just say?", he stands up angry. "I did have a child ripped from me! Our baby is dead! How do you want me to react, 'oh don't worry Eliza we will get another one back in there in no time!".

"Don't be a dick Adam, take it out on someone else I can't even be bothered to be around you", I go upstairs but he stops me by grabbing arm. I turn to look at him.

"Please don't leave me alone". He cries. I hold his head into my shoulder. "I'm so sorry".

"It's okay", I kiss his head as we sit on the floor. His head leans into me and I cradle him. "We're gonna be okay".

So the POV changed again hehe oops.

The next morning I decided to get up quietly leaving adam in bed and making him some breakfast. He was really upset last night and I think it affected him a lot because he's older than I am clearly ready for a family. Of course I'm heartbroken but I think it's better that I wait a while longer for a child.

I make him a classic full English and take it up with a cup of coffee. I put it on the side table and sit on his side of the bed stroking his hair out of his face. "Morning handsome", I say quietly as he opens his eyes with a smile. "I made you breakfast". He looks next me and groans.

"I was going to do that", he says and I laugh. "You're the best", he sits up and I put it on his lap kissing him. "Wait I have morning breath".

"Shut up and kiss me", I say. "Eat that and then I was thinking we could go get some paint for the spare room".

He puts down his food. "You haven't even left it a day".

"I don't want to walk past that room only to be reminded of our dead child", I say. "It's not a discussion".

"Okay", he says eating again.

"I guess we could give the clothes away", I say. "Or maybe sell them get our money back".

"Can we not talk about this today", he sighs. I run to the bathroom feeling my stomach churn and I throw up in the toilet. "Yeah I'm definitely not hungry now". I hear him and I throw up again. "Hey babe", I hear his footsteps quicken as he comes and sits next to me holding back my hair. "I thought you were supposed to bleed?".

"I think it's different", I say catching my breath. "They said I would throw up too".

"You feel anymore?", he asks and I shake my head. "Okay", he lifts me up and takes off my shirt I was sleeping in. "Let's shower". He stands in with me and I sit on the side as he turns it on. I pull him close to me and rest my head on his stomach as he stroked my hair.

"I think I fall more in love with you everyday", I say and he lifts up my head.

"You just read my mind", he smiles and leans down to kiss me.

"Puke breath". I say stopping him.

"Shut up and kiss me".
