Lost Me Gained Regret

I had promised him, if I ever got pregnant, I would definitely keep the baby.

"I'm okay, I'll protect this baby, won't let anything happen to her again. Plus, I just had a dream, the baby in my belly, it's a girl, a very cute girl." Seeing me smile, Gregory mirrored the gesture.

But I knew, neither of us was happy.

There wasn't a way to be, only to try and ease our minds.

Especially me.

"Could you help me clean up? I feel awful."

Gregory nodded, standing up to heat some water.

Dr. Andrews and Dailey left the room.

Christine approached, eyes red, "I'm sorry, Jane."

I took her hand, "Why apologize to me? It's not your fault, you were only trying to protect me."
