The Guy From The Mall, chapter 36
You wake the next morning with terrible stomach pain. As you run to the bathroom to puke your guts up, you hear Mikey talking in his sleep.
"No, we can't keep the bunny rabbit, Gerard. It won't match the floorboards." You leave the bathroom and go and cuddle Mikey again. He wakes up and yawns as you do so.
"Good morning sexy."
"You wouldn't have thought that if you'd seen me ten minutes ago." You have a giggle together before getting ready. You don't have any breakfast because you still feel sick.
You and Mikey drive to the hospital for your scan. You're a little nervous and excited at the same time.
"It's gonna be fine, y'know that, right?" Mikey whispers soothingly.
"Yeah, I just can't wait to find out whether it's a boy or a girl." You smile back at him as he pulls into the car park.
The waiting room is cold and boring. There are no magazines and the nurse is very stern.
"Way, Brodi!" she barks in your direction. As you walk into the small, but warm room, Mikey grabs your hand and kisses you gently on the cheek. You lie down on the bed and a different nurse starts talking to you.
"Now, Brodi, I'm going to rub some of this gel onto your tummy so we can take a look at how the baby is doing." She rubs the gel on and begins the scan. Worryingly she looks concerned.
"Whats the matter? What's wrong?" you ask with desperation in your voice.
"I'm afraid Brodi, there's no easy way to say this. I can't detect a heartbeat. I'm very sorry."
Tears fall down Mikey's cheeks as you lie on the bed unable to speak. He holds your hand tightly and strokes your arm as you stare at the screen hoping desperately for it to change. But it doesn't.
