Welcome back to this week's snippet from Missi. Last week, our characters feared a miscarriage. Find out what happened next.
“I’m afraid I’ve lost our baby.” The cramping was enough to double me over and the onslaught of impending hysteria wasn’t helping. Charlie put me to bed and called the clinic on post. As luck would have it, we were at the beginning of a four-day weekend.
"I’m sure it’s just a simple miscarriage,”
the nurse explained, nonchalant. It sounded as though she were sucking on a lollipop. “God
does these things, let it happen naturally.” Then, she waited, letting her end of the line grow silent.“I’m afraid I’ve lost our baby.” The cramping was enough to double me over and the onslaught of impending hysteria wasn’t helping. Charlie put me to bed and called the clinic on post. As luck would have it, we were at the beginning of a four-day weekend.
