Chapter 61, "Jennifer's Loss".

Start from the beginning
                                    

Andrea : I know her!

Brad widens his eyes as Andrea raises her hand.

Andrea : She goes to my women empowerment circles!

They both shake their heads, before moving on.

Brad : Ok... how about Hattie?

Jen : Brad, why do you hate our child?

Brad : Fine, you go.

Jen : Ok, James.

Brad : You realize we're having a girl right?

Jen : Yeah.

Brad : Veto.

Brad : How about... I like Ruth, what about Ruth?

Jen : Oh, I'm sorry... are we having an 89 year old?

Jen : How about Lotus.

Brad : Veto.

Brad : Yolanda?

Jen : Veto.

Jen : Sawyer?

Brad : Veto.

Brad : Helen.

Jen : Veto.

Andrea : Is it me or is veto starting to sound really good?

Around 3am, that night :

Brad : Jen.

Brad sighs, opening his eyes as he's awoken by the sound of her phone.

Brad : Jen, your phone.

Jen : Mhm.

Knowing Jen, she'll probably just let it ring as she's able to sleep through anything, so he reached for it himself.

Brad : Fine, I'll get it.

Brad clears his throat, before answering not even checking who it is that's calling.

Brad : Hello?

Dr. Emmet : Hi, have I reached Ms. Aniston's phone?

Brad : Who is it?

Emmet : It's Dr. Emmet, it's about Maria...

As Brad realizes who it is, his eyes flutter open in distress.

Emmet : And the baby.

Brad : What, uhm... what's going on?

Emmet : Maria has been admitted to the hospital with bleeding, we can't...

Brad : What?!

Brad raises his voice, causing Jen to ultimately react.

Jen : What's going on?

Brad : What does that mean?

Emmet : Well...

Brad : How's the baby?

Jen : Brad... what's happening?

Jen sits up, reaching for her fiancé's arm as she's got no idea what's going on.

Emmet : You're the father, right? Mr. Pitt?

Brad : Yes! Yes, I'm the father.

Emmet : I don't have any updates on the baby as of right now... it was doing fine when she was admitted, but...

Jen : Is it Maria?

Brad : Yes.

Jen : Is it the baby?
