You were here
You were here
A positive pregnancy test
The lines so dark
I felt nothing but confidence
We told our parents
A second grandchild is on the way
But I still didn't feel pregnant
No symptoms
Was my Baby okay?
I told my boss because
Around this time with my first
I was so nauseous and hormonal
But this time I felt nothing
Strange
But every pregnancy is different?
We started planning
For two under two
There was so much we needed
But we were overjoyed
Our daughter will have a sibling
And they'll be thick as thieves
Only seventeen months apart
The perfect gap it seemed
A week after we found out
I started to bleed
Just a little
But it didn't feel right
We went to the hospital
After what felt like an eternity
We saw that little heartbeat
Fluttering away
We cried
Our Baby was okay
Everything looks fine she said
Then they sent us home
We tried to reassure ourselves
By reading all we could
Did you know if they see
That little fluttering heartbeat
Your Baby has
A ninety percent chance
Of being okay?
I woke in the middle of the night
Cramping,
Hurting,
Scared,
I knew what this meant
My Baby
Wasn't in that ninety percent
I stayed in bed for an eternity
Too scared to get up
Too scared to pee
Why was my body
Trying to kill my Baby?
Back up to the hospital
More blood tests
And waiting
Then they finally confirmed
I was having a miscarriage
My little Baby
With that fluttering heartbeat
Was gone
Why?
You were here
There was a ninety percent chance
Our odds were good
But not good enough, I guess
We were sent home
To wait and see
I was constantly afraid
Of what I might see
I wasn't afraid of the pain
Because nothing could hurt more
Than knowing that you
Weren't here anymore
You were here
But I only knew it for a week
That week felt like a lifetime
And I guess, in a way
It was
