A few days later....
Callie's POV
Im in the kitchen while putting the finishing touches on Marianna's birthday present. I got her a new straightener cause she keeps coming over to use mine so I just got her the newer version of mine to save her some trips.
"Hey mummy" Sammy says walking in sitting on the seat next to me at the table.
"Hey buddy whats up?"
"Nothing. Daddy's shaving so I came down here" he tells me while feeling his chin for hairs.
"Right. Well did you have enough breakfast or are you hungry?" I ask him
"Nah Im good" he replies casually. "So when will my sister be here?" he asks and I just sigh every time he says sister. We wont know what it is for another month yet so this will be a very long month.
"Buddy I told you another 6 months until your sister OR brother comes" I explain
"So will my sister look like me?" He asks and I chuckle
"HE or she probably will yes"
"Can I teach her things?"
"You can teach HE or she whatever you want"
"I think this could be fun"
"Im sure it will be funny little man" I say making him smile. Anytime I call him my little man his face always lights up. Then Brandon walks into the room with is freshly shaven face. I give him a quick peck before going over to make us some coffees.
"Sammy do you want a chocolate milk?" I ask grabbing the milk from the fridge.
"Yes please" she says smiling his big bright smile
"We going over to see Mar today?" Brandon asks
"Um well I was gonna drop it off at your moms but then I have to head into work so you can stay there with Sammy and I shouldnt be too long. Is that alright?" I ask
"Oh come on baby you know I hate the idea of you working while being pregnant"
"Brandon its not like Im a construction worker. I'll probably be sitting down the whole time anyway"
"Isnt the whole point in you owning the business so you dont have to do as much hands on work"
"Yeah. I have to do some work though B. I'll be like and hour or 2 dont even worry babe" I tell him.
Once we get to moms I go in and say happy birthday before Brandon walks me back out to the car.
"Be safe baby and dont be too long" he says giving me a long lingering kiss.
"I wont. I love you"
"I love you. And you too" he says rubbing my stomach giving it a quick peck.
"Bye" I say closing the door and he waves outside the car while I pull out of the driveway.
When I get to work I get all my paperwork sorted first before going to overlook one of the photoshoots taking place today.
"Hey hows it going?" I ask one of my photographers Lindsey
"Yeah really good. We have this baby shoot and then one straight after. Look how cute these photos are" she says showing me the little screen we have set up next to the camera. I cant help but smile at the little newborn thinking about how we're gonna have one soon. I help Lindsey with some of the photos before I start to feel a pain in my lower stomach. I excuse myself and go to the bathroom where I find blood in an the one place I really didnt want to have it. FUCK. I didnt bleed with Sammy but I have heard of women bleeding in there first trimester. Surely not this much though. I feel the pain again and grown holding my stomach. I clean myself up and head back to Brandons moms house. When I get there I dont go inside I jsut tell Brandon to come to the car and leave Sammy inside.
"Hey you" he says all smiles leaning over to my side kissing my cheek while buckling his seatbelt. "So why no Sam. We having some alone time?" He asks giving me a sexy smirk.
"Brandon...." I say finally rising my head with tears in my eyes
"Callie! Whats wrong?!" he asks suddenly in a panic and that amazing smile wiped from his face.
"Im bleeding" I say quietly almost as a whisper
"Hey. Hey its ok shhh her let me drive" he says and we switch seats "We're going to the hospital. It'll all be ok"
"You dont know that"
"Callie dont even think like that. This baby is going to be fine. WE'RE going to be fine" he tells me almost sounding as though he's trying to convince himself.
When we get to the hospital Brandon rushes me and they see to me immediately. First thing they do is organise an ultrasound. Brandon is standing next to me in the room as they pull my shirt up and fiddle with the stupid stick on my stomach. I listen and I swear to god I have never listened harder in my life for a little thump that could be our babies heartbeat.
"Im just going to be a minute" the nurse said leaving the room. Tears start pouring from my eyes. Why would they need someone to come and help them look, they found it last time.
"Sorry about that" she says coming back in with the doctor who is now in control of the stick. He moves its all over my stomach takes a few pictures and then looks at me with an empty face. I know whats going to come out of his mouth and I really dont want to hear it.
"Im sorry. We cant locate a heartbeat" was all he said before the nurse starts rambling off about options and all other shit. Im just lying on the bed with nothing. No baby, no tears, no expression, no feeling. Nothing. I look up at Brandon and he's fixed on me. His eyes wondering my face for any kind of life. His hand reaches up to my head as he bends down to kiss my temple gently.
"I love you" Is the only thing his says. Had he of said Im sorry or its ok I would have snapped. This is not ok but I do love him.
"I love you too" I finally choke out being the first thing I've said since the doctor spoke. Now I cant control the tears falling from my eyes.
"Wait" brandon says to the nurse as she's about to leave the room. I look up at Brandon with a puzzled look. "Can you tell us the gender?" he asks
"It was a boy" she says gently. Thats just makes me break down into Brandons arms as he holds me tightly letting his own tears fall. How could this be happening.
