"No!"
"Addie I have to!"
"No you don't!"
"Lin asked me to go out to La I have to do it!"
"No you don't! I'm not letting anyone else I love and care about go to L.A!"
Chris puts a hand on my tear stained face.
"Come on, baby, don't cry. I'll be back. I promise you. Just a couple months and I'll be right back by your side."
I shake my head still crying.
I put is hand on my stomach.
"He needs you here. Chris our son is going to need you."
He sighs and looks at my belly.
"I will be here for him. I promise. Lin needs me there too."
He kisses my head while rubbing my stomach gently.
"My flight leaves in two hours. I have to go."
I shake my head crying.
"Don't leave me here."
Chris looks at me crying himself.
"Why are we crying?"
"I'm crying because I'm pregnant and hormonal and the man I love is leaving."
He wipes his eyes sniffling slightly.
"I love you too, but I have to go. I'm sorry. I'll call you as soon as I can. If you need anything call and I'll be there okay. I promise."
He kisses me gently before grabbing his bags and walking out the door. I lean against the wall trying to control my cries.
I sniffle trudging to the couch and laying down.
I wrap myself up in a blanket.
God I need to find a new place.
I reach for my laptop stopping when a sharp pain slices through my stomach.
I gasp putting a hand on the bump.
I shake my head and grab my MacBook.
I start searching for a few things pausing every now and again due to the rapid pains in my stomach.
~
I curl into the bed a hand on my stomach while a fan blows on my face.
I was in a cold sweat and I felt terrible.
It had been little over a week  since Chris had left and the pains have yet to stop, but now the pains have spread to everywhere.
I whimper when I get a call.
I pull the phone towards me and answer it.
"Hey, bumpkin! I'm at the coffee shop what do you want?"
"My usual."
"You don't sound so well, angel. I'll be there in minute."
The call is ended and I look at the text.
Chris told me which house he liked better.
It was the biggest one that was a bit farther from the city but you had an amazing view of it.
I nod and put an offer on the place.
It wasn't a cheap house but with the view, location, and the house in general it was worth the cost.
Vic walks in holding the drinks.
"Girlie! You look worse than you did last time. I'm taking you to the hospital."
I didn't argue.
I felt terrible.
She wraps an arm around me and walks me outside.
I hold my phone tightly my eyes lidded.
~
I lay on the bed the monitors beep around me.
I cough into my elbow wincing in pain.
"Mrs. Blue, I'm Doctor Zuko. I'm going to do an ultrasound to see how your little one is doing and the Mrs.Connie over there is going to take your blood."
I nod laying back letting my arms relax.
I tense up when the woman first pokes me but I then relax.
The doctor puts a cold gel on my stomach before grabbing the device.
He runs the machine over my stomach his face growing concerned.
Connie pulls the needle out of my arm and wraps me up. She whispers something to the Doctor before walking out.
I look at the doctor.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you have the father's number? Is he here?"
I reach for my phone and call Chris.
It rings but goes to voicemail.
I try a couple more times but the results end the same.
"No."
"Well I'm sorry to have to tell you with out him here but, Mrs.Blue, the reason why you are so sick is because you've had a miscarriage."
I look at the doctor my heart seeming to stop.
A miscarriage?
No.
This wasn't happening again.
"I'm so sorry. Is there anyone we can call for you."
I shake my head crying silently.
Vic was at the theater.
Lin was in LA.
Chris was in LA.
Charlotte was in LA.
I hurt Oak.
My family was in Australia.
I was alone.
Again.
I had no one.
No one at all.
I look at my phone and grab it starting an email.
~
Dear Charlotte,
I'm sorry.
I'm so so sorry.
I lost the baby.
I can't get a hold of Chris.
I'm freaking out and you're the only person I trust/have the heart to tell.
I can't tell Vic she's at DHE.
Lin and Chris are in LA and won't answer.
Oak, I hurt him so much and he didn't even know.
Charlotte I need help.
I need your advice.
I miss you.
Typed,
Addie Blue💙

By the end of the email I was a sobbing mess.
I had a hand on my stomach and another one in my hair.
I leaned my head back trying to calm down my breathing.
I jump with the phone rings.
I answer it trying to stop crying.
"Addie, hey. Sorry I was working with Emmy and Soley on take a break. What's wrong?"
"Chris. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. You don't deserve this."
I could hear him move to a different room.
"Baby girl what's wrong? What happened?"
"I lost it Chris."
"Baby, what did you loose? Tell me what you lost."
"The baby. Chris I lost the baby. I was sick so Vic took me to the hospital before she went to the theater. They did an ultrasound and they said I lost the baby."
I heard Chris what I presumed punch something before he starts crying.
"I'm sorry. I'm so so fucking sorry. I missed you're call. I'm not there. I'm making you deal with this alone. I'm so sorry." He chokes out.
I couldn't say anything.
I just cried.
And until I fell asleep that's what I did.
I stayed on the phone with Chris crying.
