Lucy
One month later...
"Hey, babe. You ready for JJ's party?" I hear Luke shout as he walks into the house from picking up Lola.
What should I do? I can't tell him. He can't see. God, why did You do me this? How can I even go on with my life?
"LuLu? Babe? You okay?" Luke slowly makes his way toward our bedroom where I'm crawled up in a ball on the bathroom floor. "Girl, you better actually be taking a shit. Last time you were in the bathroom without answering me, you were pregnant. And we already know you're pregnant."
I try to find my voice but tears just continue to stream down my face. I open my mouth and a horrifying scream comes out. I hear Luke burst into our bedroom and then see his worried face when he enters the bathroom.
"Lucy! What happened? Are you hurt? Are you—" Luke's eyes follow the trail of blood that leads from me to the toilet. I watch every emotion play on his face until it settles for heartbreaking sadness. "Oh no, Lucy."
Luke just gets down on his knees to hold me as we cry together.
