Heart Without A Beat

💔💔

I sighed as I rubbed my swollen stomach. I was nine months pregnant and I could pop at any moment. Ashley and I decided on a home birth since I hated hospitals. I lay on the couch snuggled next to Ashley as we watched a batman movie.

"I know you get tired of watching these.." I pecked his cheek as he turns to me.

"It's ok baby, I don't mind." I smiled warmly and snuggled more next to Ashley feeling his body heat when I started to feel something wet and got automatic pain.

"A-Ashy..." I whimpered.

"What's wrong?-" Ashley noticed the wetness and immediately called Justin, we was a Doctor, and family friend of mines. I trust him.

"Ah, it hurts."

"It's ok, just take deep breaths." I took breaths in and out until the Justin arrived. Ashley strips me down from my pants and boxers and places a blanket over me.

"Hang in there baby,"

Justin finally arrives and put himself in front of me while I was a sweaty and panting mess.

"You're ready to push. Ok on 3 you push!" I nod weakly holding Ashley's hand to death.

"1..2..3. Push!"

I let out a loud yell squeezing the life out of Ashley's hand.

"Again, you're doing great." I took a rest to breath. Ashley wiped my face and kissed my head.

"You're doing great babe, push again."

"I can't.."

"Yes you can baby, I'm right here with you."

"1..2..3..push, I see the head keep pushing."

I kept pushing when I needed to until I felt a wave of relief left me. Odd, I didn't hear crying or baby noises.

"It's a girl....oh no.."

"What's wrong?" Ashley asked. My heart starting to pound. What was going on?

"There's no heart beat to the baby." Justin looked at us sadly.

"So the baby's..."

"I'm so sorry." I just laid there crying while Ashley was crying along with me. This was my first child and it didn't make it.

"Can I see her?" I asked. Justin placed her in my arms. She looked so beautiful. I wished I could see her eyes. I wondered if she had mine or Ashley's.

"We had names and everything.." I whimpered as I looked down on her.

"I know baby, I know..." Ashley rocked me back in forth.

***

About a year passed since the dreadful death. There wasn't a day that went by where I didn't think about her. I wanted to name her 'Skylar' I've always liked that name. Ashley and I were here by her grave along with Justin who was kind enough to come along.

"Hi Sky, it's mommy and Daddy....we miss you. I know you're looking down on us and having fun. Just want you to know we love you..."

Ashley placed a rose by the gravestone and rubbed my now 4 month pregnant belly. I was pregnant again. I was a bit scared the same thing was gonna happen but I have family and friends by my side.

"We have good news too, you're gonna have a little brother or sister." A tear slides down my face as Ashley wipes it. If it's a boy were gonna name him Daniel. For a girl, were naming her after Skylar. It's the least we could do.

"Ready?" Ashley asked. I blew a quick kiss at the stone and turned to the man I love.

"Ready...thanks for coming Justin."

"No prob. She was a beauty. It's a shame."

We left the graveyard and piled in the car and drove off home.

"Rest in peace, sweetie." I whisper on the glass as my eyes never left the stone as the car drove away.
