Two weeks later, May 9, 2039

Two weeks after finding out they were having a baby girl, Audrey and Peyton went to Dani's wedding, and then two weeks after her wedding, they are heading to another doctor's appointment. Audrey is now 24 weeks pregnant. She's six months along.

They finally finished getting the nursery together in their guest bedroom. They also picked out a name for their daughter. Their daughter's name is Bayleigh Nevaeh Patterson. They are excited to meet their little girl.

Audrey groaned as she got out of bed. "Ugh. I hate not being able to get out of bed as easy anymore..." She sighed. She looked at her belly. "Three more months baby girl..."

Peyton smiled. "At least you look beautiful to me when you feel so mad about not being able to do things." He says, walking into their bedroom.

Audrey smiled. "Me too. I'm happy to see her again..." She walked into the bathroom.

Later that afternoon, Los Angeles Community Hospital

Audrey's doctor, Dr. Miller screened their baby girl. She sighed as she frowned. "I need to tell you two something..."

Audrey just looked at her face. "Something's wrong..."

Peyton squeezed Audrey's hand. "What's wrong?"

Her doctor sighed. "So, I don't hear or see a heartbeat..."

Audrey's eyes went wide as tears formed in her eyes.

"Are you sure?"

Peyton's eyes also filled with tears. "Are you 100% sure?"

Her doctor nodded. "Yeah. I'm sure...I'm so sorry..."

After she left the room so Audrey could change into her clothes, Audrey just began sobbing. "This...This is...It's my fault..." She sobbed into Peyton's shoulder.

Peyton shook his head. "No, baby. This wasn't your fault..."

Audrey nodded. "Yes, it is. I was drinking and I didn't know!"

Peyton sighed, as he helped her off the table and they headed out to his car. He helped her into the car and they headed home.

Audrey and Peyton's Townhouse, Los Angeles, California

Audrey walked into the house, sat down on their couch and then fell onto the pillow and began sobbing.

Peyton walked over to her, sat down on the couch, pulling her into his arms and kissed her head. "Oh, baby..."

Audrey just buried her head into Peyton's shoulder and sobbed until she cried herself to sleep.

Peyton sighed as he picked her up gently into his arms and carried her into their bedroom and carefully placed her onto their bed and then covered her up. He kissed her forehead. "I love you."

He said softly before heading into their home office and sat in his chair, sighing as he began crying himself. After a good cry, he calmed down before calling family members to break the news of losing their baby girl and that Audrey would be giving birth tomorrow morning. He was so heartbroken. He was looking foward to becoming a dad to his daughter, but now she's in heaven.

Boston Massachusetts, Cody and Bailey's house

Bailey was sobbing after getting off the phone with Peyton, her son in law.

Maya hugged her sister in law as she sat down next to her. "Bailey, what's wrong?"

Cody ran over to his wife and sat down next to her.

"Bails, what happened?"

Bailey sniffed. "Auds...She...She lost Bayleigh..."

Maya's eyes widened. "Oh my God. I'm sorry."

Cody just started crying. "Oh my God...My poor baby..."

Zack walked out of the bathroom. "What happened?! Why is everybody crying?" He was confused by why everyone was crying.

Cody looked at his brother. "Audrey lost Bayleigh."

Zack's eyes widened. "Oh my God. I'm sorry."

Bailey sniffed. "I need to call her..." She picked up her phone and called her daughter.

Audrey was asleep, but heard her phone ringing, she reached over and picked it up.

"Hello?"

Bailey sighed. "Baby, are you okay?"

Audrey shook her head. "No...I'm not okay..." She teared up. "I know she wasn't planned to happen, but I...I wanted her to be with me..." She began sobbing.

Bailey took a deep breath. Her heart was breaking for her daughter. "Oh, baby. I'm so sorry..."

Audrey just hung up the phone, throwing her phone onto bed as she continued to sob.

Peyton ran into their bedroom, hearing his wife sobbing. It broke his heart into pieces seeing his wife so heartbroken. "Baby..." He climbed on the bed and wrapped his arms around her as she sobbed. "Audrey...Shhh..." He kissed her head.

Audrey just sobbed into his chest. "I...I don't know what to do, Peyton..."

Peyton just sighed. "Me either, baby. But, we'll get through this together, okay?" He said, helping her change into her pajamas.

Audrey sniffed and nodded. "Okay."

Peyton smiled at her. "You are the best wife in the world, you're beautiful and you're so strong." He said, pulling the covers over her. "I'll be in the home office calling work to let them know I'll need a few days off..." He kissed her forehead. "I love you."

Audrey nodded. "I love you too. Thanks."

Peyton smiled. "You're welcome, beautiful." He headed into their home office, calling his boss.

Gina Johnson, Peyton's boss picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

Peyton sighed. "Hi, Gina, it's Peyton."

Gina smiled. "Hi, Peyton. Are you still coming in tonight?"

Peyton shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. I won't coming in tonight..."

Gina was now concerned. "Is everything okay?"

Peyton took a deep breath. "Um...My wife and I had just found out we lost our baby today at the doctor's office, and I can't leave my wife alone right now. We are going into the hospital tomorrow so Audrey can give birth. I called because I'd need a few days off..."

Gina's eyes went wide. "Of course! You take all the time you need. I'll let you take off four weeks. I wish you both healing and prayers during this time. I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter. Give Audrey my love."

Peyton nodded. "I will. Thank you." He hung up, sighing loudly as he walked into their daughter's nursery. It wasn't finished yet, and he felt his heart break. "Oh, my baby girl, Bayleigh. I love you, my sweet angel...We love you..."
