I stood again I couldn’t breathe Patrick put an arm around me in comfort He looked at me sympathetically Time slowed as I waited for the doctor to tellall kinds of horrible things But nothing could prepare me for the words that came out of his mouth

“It appears, well, in the wreck, I’m sorry to say, well she lost the baby”

“What baby?” I questioned

Patrick’s grip tightened in shock

“I’nant About six weeks I’d say”

I putworse and worse I hadn’t told Patrick that Kylie and I had ht it was better left between the two of us and was no one else’s business But I guessed it was too late I wiped my face

“Jonathon?” Patrick looked at me, his face full of shock

“Later,” I mumbled

The doctor looked between the two of us “I’ll leave you for now I’ll be back to check on her later,” he said, beforehis swift exit

I sat down and took her hand init to my lips in a kiss

“Jonathon?” said Patrick “What’s going on? What baby?”

I hung my head “I’m sorry, Patrick I am But we did it We made love I know you toldwhen she wants so I’h I also wanted to wait and do it right I guess ht”

“When? When did it happen?”
