This is for 1BenitoMendes1 sorry for the super long wait! I couldn't seem to get an idea but I finally did! Hope you like it, I changed it a bit if you don't mind.
-----------------------------

From the moment you woke up, you could tell there was something wrong. Not wanting to worry Shawn, your husband of two years, you put it off as morning sickness. You would see what the problem was at your doctors appointment that afternoon. You were pretty sure it was nothing but there was still that small possibility.

You and Shawn ate breakfast and got ready to go to the clinic. Every chance Shawn got, he would touch your growing stomach with a smile.

"Today is the day we get to find out if you're going to be a momma's boy or a daddy's girl." This made you extremely happy.

-------
As you both waited in the sterile, white ultrasound room, Shawn held your hand and talked about the future you three would have together. The door opened, revealing an ultrasound nurse and your doctor.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Mendes. Are you ready to find out what gender the baby is?" She greeted with a warm smile as she tugged on some gloves. The nurse applied some jelly on your exposed stomach and handed the hand-held device to the doctor. You exchanged excited grins with Shawn, who squeezed your hand in a comforting way.

The doctor and nurse made small talk with you and shawn while she slid the device around your stomach. She pasused and adjusted the tool. Her eyebrows furrowed and her and the nurse exchanged worry glances.

"Is there something wrong?" You asked, getting slightly nervous.

"I can't seem to find the heartbeat, but in cases like this the baby may be hiding." She anxiously chuckled. With each passing moment Shawn's grip on your hand because looser and looser.

After what seemed like eternity, the doctor stopped and shut off the monitor.

"I'm sorry to inform you, but it seems as though you have had a miscarriage." She patted your arm sympathetically and began cleaning you up.

You sat there in disbelief and immediately after hearing those words the tears came rushing down your cheeks like a waterfall. You looked at Shawn for comfort but he wouldn't meet your eyes. Just then, he stood up and stormed out of the room, leaving you there heartbroken and alone.

Shawn said nothing the whole ride home. His eyes were in the road and his grip on the steering wheel was making his knuckles turn white. When he pulled into driveway, he parked the car and turned off the ignition before exiting the car without you.

"Shawn?" You finally spoke up, once you two were inside. He kept quiet. "Shawn, speak to me please." You begged with tears forming in your eyes. You didn't understand why he wasn't speaking to you. Finally he turned to face you, anger was written on his face.

"You never wanted this baby did you?" His words were like a slap in the face.

"Of course I did! Why would you say that?" He rolled his eyes at you.

"You were purposely trying to get rid of it! You ate what the doctors told you not to, you took pills! Its all your fault. "

"Those were my prenatal vitamins. And I made sure what I ate was cleared by the doctor. How dare you accuse me of trying to kill the baby."

Shawn stood there, jaw clenched and eyes glaring into yours. Without another word, you pushed past him and dashed up to your shared room. As you stood behind the closed door of the bedroom, you sobbed uncontrollably. You would never intentionally hurt the baby. You wanted this baby more than anything in the world. You could hear footsteps coming up the stairs but you were too busy staring down at your blood soaked jeans. This was it. The part every soon-to-be mother dreaded. Actually losing the baby. You fell to your knees, then to your back and passed out from the pain.

Beep Beep Beep....

Your eyes opened to the sight of a hospital room and your ears tuned into the beeping of the heartbeat monitor. Next to you was Shawn, he was sleeping in a chair.

"Shawn.." You whispered, he didn't move. "Shawn." You said a little louder, his eyes snapped open and when he saw you he lurched forward and took hold of your hand.

"Y/n! I'm so happy you're away." Shawn looked very relieved. You remembered the argument you had and all the pain from his words rushed back to you. Your eyes never met with his until he softly placed his hand in your cheek and made you look at him.

"Y/n, I'm so sorry for what I said. I was so angry at God and I should never have taken it out on you. I know you would never hurt the baby.. Its not your fault.. Baby, please forgive me." He sniffled and hurriedly tried to wipe his tears away. True sorrow showed prominently in his brown eyes.

"Shawn. . I forgive you. Things just got out of hand and we were both pretty upset. Please don't cry." He nodded and planted a kiss on your forehead.

"Things will get better for us. I promise."
