Running Through The Maze With You

Twenty

Trigger warning: infant loss/ miscarriage, blood loss.

Charlie's POV:

Thomas and Gally weren't happy that I wanted to keep the baby but I didn't care. It's always been my dream to be a mother and I don't know if I'll ever get this opportunity again I had to take the risk. It was a few months later I was sitting by myself on the beach when all of the sudden I look down at my pants and my beach blanket. Blood. I've never seen so much blood ever at least coming from me I start crying and screaming and Thomas runs over he immediately picks me up and runs me over to the med tent Gally sits in the chair further away so he's out of Beth's way Thomas was right beside me the whole time holding my hand.

Beth: "Charlie Thomas I don't hear the babies heartbeat I'm sorry you've miscarried."

I look at Beth in shock and horror.

Me: "Are you sure?"

She nods and I cry into Thomas's arms.

Thomas: "I'm so sorry my Char I'm so sorry."

Gally walks over and hugs me too.

Beth: "I'm so sorry Charlie."

Me: "It's not your fault Beth."

I pull her into the hug as well. A few days had passed since we got the news everyone was being nice to me but I'm pretty sure because Gally threatened he'd beat anyone up if they weren't. I was sitting by then fire pit wrapped up in a blanket and Minho sat next to me.

Minho: "I come in peace."

Me: "Do you?"

I smile and laugh softly.

Minho: "I do I swear, look I know you and I haven't always seen eye to eye-"

Me: "That's a understatement."

Minho: "But if it's any constellation I always thought you and Beth were the moms of the group you two always kept us in check. And I know Chuck adored you and saw you as like a mother figure."

Me: "That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me."

Minho: "I can be nice sometimes."

Me: "You're alright Minho even though you stabbed my brother with a spear."

I grin playfully and he laughs.

Minho: "That was one time Charles! And he was stung."

Me: "I know it's just fun to give you a hard time."

Minho: "I'll allow it since you're grieving right now."

Me: "Thanks Minho."

Minho: "And Charlie?"

Me: "Yeah?"

Minho: "You aren't THAT annoying."

Me: "Thanks Minho."

Minho: "Anytime Charles."

He stands up and walks away Thomas ends up coming over and pulls me into his lap wrapping his arms around my waist.

Thomas: "How you doing pretty girl?"

Me: "I'm alright well alright as I can be."

Thomas: "Beth said you need to take this medicine with orange juice because you lost a lot of blood."

I nod and take the medicine.

Me: "I'm sorry."

Thomas: "For what?"

Me: "Going through with the pregnancy. It was selfish of me just because I wanted to be a mom dosent mean I should be one."

Thomas: "Oh pretty girl I love you so so much I'm not upset with you. You have no reason to apologize."

Me: "When I saw how much blood there was I just.... I couldn't imagine what would've happened if I didnt lose the baby the fact I was willing to put you all through that... there was so much blood Thomas why was there so much blood?"

I start crying and he holds me close.

Thomas: "Shh shh it's ok pretty girl nobody's upset with you we all love you so much."

Gally walks over.

Gally: "What the hell did you do greenie?"

Me: "I'm just crying about loosing the baby."

Gally: "Oh."

Gally joins the hug too.

Gally: "Awkward sibling hug tap tap."

I laugh softly and hug him back. Beth and newt run over too and join the hug.

Me: "Group hug!!!"

Everyone runs over to join the hug and I knew I was going to be ok.

This was going to be the last chapter but I'm going to do a little bonus chapter because I don't want the ending to be sad
