Chapter 10 Penelope & Charles

Penelope and Charles

Ever since Penelope found out she is pregnant again she has been so excited she had been non stop planning for the arrival of her baby. Charles has been just as excited but is worried that she is planning too much already. For the most part she has been feeling really good, some morning sickness here and there. She already decided if it was a girl they were naming her Rebecca and if it was a boy then Jacob and she already had two nursery ideas for the baby, a boy and a girl choice. But when Penelope woke up today and got ready for work she hadn't been feeling well at all and Chase noticed and tried to convince her to stay home, but she decided she was okay.

During a case today she started to feel a little dizzy and a lot of pain in her stomach she was talking when she stopped and held her stomach in pain hunched over a little "Are you okay? Can you continue?" The judge asks her and everyone was looking at her worried. Penelope felt like she peed herself and her friend who was also a lawyer that was sitting in the room up front saw blood going down her leg since she was wearing a skirt, and panicked Penny held her stomach and back crying it really hurt everyone was staring when her co worker seen it she ran to her "Penny!" others saw the blood too and were talking "She's pregnant somethings wrong!" Her co worker says worried

Someone gets Charles from the next room over and he comes running in "Penelope?!" He says freaking out "Chase?" she cries and him and her co worker picks her up carrying her out Everyone was confused and worried what happened, but most people could already tell. 

Someone had called 911 and an ambulance was already waiting outside, her and Charles get in "Thank you Amber" He says to her co worker and she nods "I hope shes okay" She says really worried 

They started to clean Penny up she was crying and trying to hold her stomach "It hurts!" she bawls "Chase?" she calls worried 

Chase went right to her side he was tearing up he knew exactly what was going on and takes her hand slightly squeezing it. "I'm right here baby" he says worried 

When they arrive at the hospital they throw out her clothes and get her in a gown laying her in bed. They run many tests and a doctor walks in. Charles knew what happened, and he was pretty sure Penelope did too, but neither wanted to mention it. "Penelope, Charles... I hate to have to tell you guys this.. but you lost the baby" He says looking at Penelope and she lost it right then and there bawling her eyes out the doctor leaves to give them some space. 

They went home Penelope was bawling the entire way home this was her second miscarriage she had where she actually got pictures of the baby and went longer then 2 weeks, and she had been even more happy for this pregnancy that he knew this had to be hurting her badly. He was really upset too and listening to her cry made him tear up he was trying not to cry but it was really hard especially seeing Penny this worked up. He carried her upstairs and changed her into some comfy clothes and laid her in bed and sat down on the bed next to her and rubbed her back as she bawled.

"Penny" He says his voice cracking

"hm?" She mumbles into her pillow

"Will you talk to me?" He says so upset too but was trying to hold it all in for her

she turns so she was facing him but still laying down "It's not fair Chase!" She bawls her face blotchy and red, with tears and make up all down her face and on her pillow.

"I know honey, I know but sometimes these things happen." He says and lifts her up some and lays her on him as she cried into his chest.

"I hate this! I either can never get pregnant or if I do I have a miscarriage!" she cries loudly she had also had a couple other miscarriages, but they were only a couple weeks into the pregnancy, not almost 8 like this one and her first
