Re: Our Little Recap

*The next morning*

*Keely*

I woke up and for the first time in days I wasn't in pain, I was laying there wondering what happened and the only soreness I felt was on my head, maybe it was from hitting the table... that's all I could remember. I saw that blood was being supplied to me which honestly made me wonder what really happened.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 1:39 pm

I was sitting on the couch, curled up beside Hayden. My face was all read and puffy and swollen. How was I going to tell her? Oh that's right. I wouldn't. I'd let Hayden or Eli do that. >w>

And Eli was hovering over her. "Keely! Love! Y-You're awake?!" His face was red too... but not as dramatic as mine. >.>

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 1:42 pm

"Yeah..." I looked around the room and it was already filled with flowers and get well cards. I spotted Kassie with Hayden and noticed how her face was all red. "Aw Kassie..." I whispered, but she wasn't the one that was going to need comforting, no, I looked at Eli's face and reached up to touch his cheek. "Eli... what's wrong, sweetie?" I hadn't seen him cry like this... "H-Hey... my stomach isn't hurting anymore, maybe he's better? Th-The baby?"

Why were they crying?

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 1:59 pm

I buried my face in Hayden's shirt. This was just... so unbearable.

"No, sweetie..." He said softly. "H-He's in heaven now." Eli's voice cracked and I heard him start to cry again. Why was it like this? "You're not pregnant anymore..."

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:11 pm

It made sense, the pains in my back and stomach, the fact that they were giving me blood... I passed out from... it made sense. The realization hit me in the face like a hammer and not even seconds after he told me I began to breathe heavily, "No... no that's not... that can't be what happened! I have his picture, he was just fine! Eli please tell me this is some kind of a nightmare, no..." I began to choke on my tears, the look on his face said everything.

"NO!" I grabbed his shirt and pressed my face into his chest, apologizing for not being a good mother and not taking better care of him, not eating the way I should have been and for being so sick. I kept apologizing. "I'm so sorry!"

How could I forgive myself? I knew I wasn't ready but I wasn't asking that my poor baby die like that.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:16 pm

-Eli-

I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "Kee, no! It's not your fault! T-These things happen sometimes and... no matter how much we want to, we can't always prevent them..." I was crying almost as much as Keely was. Our baby. My son or daughter that I'd never see. I hugged my wife tight. "I love you, Kee. I love you! You were a wonderful mother and you loved him so much!! That's not bad at all!"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:19 pm

The fact that he was gone was unbearable though, I felt somewhat empty and I couldn't explain that and I wondered if anyone would even understand what that felt like. For a minute it felt like Eli and I were the only ones on the planet, I couldn't focus on anything or anyone else but him. I just kept crying into his shirt and trying not to apologize for something we both knew wasn't actually my fault.

Even though I felt like it was.

"I wish I'd actually just been really happy..." I said, "I wish I hadn't been scared."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:23 pm

"I was scared too." I admitted softly. "I was scared that when you went into labor, you might die. I was scared to death. So... I'm torn between being relieved, and heartbroken that we just lost our first child." I ran my fingers through her silky hair. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be thinking this way."

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:42 pm

I had no idea he felt that way about it, "Please talk to me next time... I didn't know you were scared." I tightened my arms around him and wished he would just sit down on the bed with me. I was glad I hadn't really gotten to talking to my parents about it, my in-laws knew, my brother knew but no one else besides the people I was close to when I found out.

Talking about miscarrying would be harder than announcing that I was engaged or pregnant.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:49 pm

-A few days later-

-Kassie-

It was the middle of the night and Eli and Keely were actually staying the night for a week or so. They didn't want to be around the huge family. And so I took over the couch and Hayden had his room. (I would have taken his room, but I didn't want to accidentally break or mess with something I wasn't supposed to.) So I had ice cream again and stared down the hall where Hayden's door was. I couldn't tell whether his door was open or not, it was so dark! I sucked on my spoon of ice cream.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:52 pm

*Hayden*

I came out wearing nothing but pajama pants and my glasses since I'd been up reading, I was giving myself some pasta that I made earlier that night to cheer up Keely since she was still really upset about the baby although some part of her seemed more relieved and I think it was the fact that she wasn't in pain anymore. I wasn't sure.

After heating up my pasta I went to the den and found Kassie there.

"Hey Kass." I sat down next to her and kissed her cheek, "Having trouble sleeping?"

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:54 pm

I nodded. "I know it's weird to mention it, but they had sex last night, and tonight too, and I'm just thinking 'I have to sleep in that room when you're gone, you know?' " I smiled at him. "Can we bleach the bed when they leave?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:58 pm

"I have some new sheets that I keep meaning to put on that bed... what better timing. I'm sorry about that though... I'm trying not to say anything to her about it because I just feel like it's not a good time to really rant about what she does with Eli while she's here. I feel bad for saying this but I actually... think it's better that they aren't having a baby right now. She's about to be a senior, I think she just needs to graduate first."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:03 pm

I scooped more ice cream on my spoon. "True... but it's really weird to look at her after... you know, I heard them and all." I said softly. "I think she's too young to have a baby." I said. "Maybe you're right. Maybe it really is better."

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:12 pm

"Oh... yeah. I guess, to me she's just my sister only... grown up and married and not really grown up. They just married really young..." I shrugged, "I'm twenty-six and I'm still not married but that's fine... that may change pretty soon."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:14 pm

I smiled. "If your status changes, does that mean mine will too?" I asked softly.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:16 pm

I grinned, "It's a pretty big possibility." I took her hand and laced my fingers through hers, there we sat eating pasta and ice cream in front of a black screen, just talking to each other.

I could see this happening for the rest of my life. <3

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:18 pm

I smiled and rested my head against his shoulder. I was getting sleepy, finally. There was something so calming about Hayden. Something I loved more than anything else.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:20 pm

She was falling asleep on me and I knew we couldn't go to sleep with pasta and ice cream in our laps, I had to move them at least. I took the bowl and my plate and sat them on the coffee table in front of me and then wrapped my arm around her and pulled her close.

The most comfortable sleep I'd ever had. <3

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:22 pm

I curled my feet up on the couch and scooted closer. Not long after, I was fast asleep in his arms. I was so happy. So happy that he was so content to just hold me as I fell asleep. Hayden. I loved him more than any other person.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:25 pm

That next morning I had woken up and covered Kassie with a blanket on the couch so I could go make a big breakfast, because I was hungry for something huge and grilled and tasty. Keely came down and watched me cook for a couple minutes before speaking.

"Only you would incorporate pasta into breakfast."

"I thought you liked it."

"I do like it... but only YOU would make it."

"True, but it's mine today, you get bacon on a grilled cheese sandwich."

"Yummy." She smiled, an improvement! 8DDD

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:29 pm

I opened my eyes to find that Hayden wasn't there. I sat straight up and for some reason, I was beginning to panic. I heard his voice in the kitchen and tried to tell myself that it was only that he wanted to eat that he got up. I wrapped the blanket around myself and walked into the kitchen, seeing both Keely and Hayden talking. "G-Good morning." I said softly. I glanced at Hayden. He looked so happy. I smiled a little. His was infectious.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:31 pm

I grinned when I saw my beautiful Kassie walk in and I hopped and ran over to her giving her a full kiss, "Morning! Isn't it a beautiful day?!" I was kind of hyper already, most times when I had inspiration I would get like this.

Keely giggled, ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT. <3

"He's making pasta and grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 04, 2011 8:20 pm

"Oh yum!" I smiled and reached up to hug my man back. I kissed his cheek, then his lips. "You're hyper this morning!" I said happily.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 04, 2011 8:23 pm

"I am, I'm not sure why though, I just feel like something good is going to happen!" I laid out some plates and looked towards the stairs, "Where is your man friend husband person, Keely?"

"I think he was in the shower..."

"Okay, he needs to get down here though or he'll miss breakfast!"
