Unlikely encounters
Miscarriage
I looked down and Kenzie's leg and there was a thin stream of blood trickling down her leg. She looked at me with panic and fear in her eyes.
"Austin, the blood is coming from..... " she began to say.
But she didn't need to Finnish. Before the police even had time to question us, I grabbed Mackenzie's hand and pulled her into the car so they could go to the hospital.
"Austin I'm so sorry. It's all my fault" Kenzie cried
"No no, meckenzie listen it's not your fault at all. Let's just think post alive, maybe it's nothing." I said, trying to reassure both Kenzie and myself
I pulled up to the hospital and to Kenzie to get out so he could park the car. Mackenzie walked in and asked for a nurse to help her. Mackenzie sat down on the ultrasound bed, and the nurse got a grief stricken face as soon as she saw the ultrasound.
"Is the child's father here? I think we should tell the two of you this together." The sad nurse said.
"He should be-" Kenzie began to say, but then I ran into the room.
"I'm sorry, the doctors wouldn't let me in." I said panting, still trying to catch my breath.
"Alright, well, I'm very sorry to tell you both this but it appears that you've suffered from a miscarriage. From what I can tell, it's from excessive blood loss in the fetus." The nurse said.
I looked over at Mackenzie and I wanted to start crying because of her reaction. She hid her face with her hands and began weeping. The nurse silently left the room, so It was just me and Mackenzie. I felt grief too because I have become to love the baby even though it was not technically mine. And Mackenzie had worked so hard for this baby. She stopped doing drugs, she was practising not swearing as much. I could'nt even begin to imagine the pain she was feeling.
"Meckenzie, sweetie, there's nothing you couldv'e done." I said quietly.
"But..." She started, but then she erupted into a fit of sobs again.
"Babe, I think we should go home. I can make you some tea." I said
All she did was nod her head. I knew that she would be sad for a very very long time.
