Those four words buzzed through his ears...

Ice splintering through his veins...

A sharp chill seeping into his chest...

He took a stumbled step back... as if the words had slapped him so hard across the face...

'You killed our baby'...

He tried to conjure up some words... but nothing came up.

He was blank.

He was in shock.

He was in pain... like never before...

He couldn't imagine it... couldn't even believe it.

He couldn't get past the meaning being those words.

'You killed our baby'...

His brain momentarily functioning through the haze of searing pain... realizing the simple meaning behind the last two words...

'Our baby'...

He and Karaca...had made a baby together...

A tiny baby... a part of him and a part of her...

Just as he mentally rejoiced the past conception of their child... his brain dissected the first two words...

'You killed'...

She had accused him...accused him... of ki-....of kill-...of killi-

He covered his ears as the obvious statement conjured up a surge of self-hatred. 

"I...I-..." he mumbled, choking back on his words as a searing pain surged through his head... He gripped his forehead with his hands, welcoming the pain this time... trying to force himself to remember...

'You killed our baby'...

No.

He couldn't have.

He knew he couldn't.

He knew he didn't.

Please remember...please remember...

He stared back into her eyes full of precious tears. The words she had just said hurting her almost as much as they hurt him.

No.... they hurt him more...

Because he knew he would never be able to harm a child.

And his own child...

His own blood and flesh...

Karaca's blood and flesh...

He would never...

He'd rather die...

"Why...why would you say that?" he whispered looking down at the wooden floor of her front porch, horrified by the allegation. His world twirling on its axis as the pain in his head progressively doubled. He shook his head... in complete denial..."I would never-" he started but was quickly interrupted.
