Shawn's  POV:

I know I've hurt her, and that's something I am going to have to deal with for quite a long time. As we wait for the doctor, the tension in the room is so thick, anyone could cut it with a knife. Y/N never stops crying, even though she has been able to silence her tears. Guilt continues to make my stomach churn.

If Island had kicked it into high gear and let me into the recording booth when Andrew requested, I wouldn't have all of these things to do and record, and I wouldn't have lost it on
Y/N. She doesn't deserve to have all of my shit dumped onto her.

I stand up as quickly as possible when the doctor comes into the room, followed by a nurse.

"Hi, Ms. Y/L/N, I'm Dr. Ritchie. I understand that you assume you have had a miscarriage." The doctor starts.

He looks almost exactly like the dentist off of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory with his grey goatee and his circle glasses.

"Yes sir." Y/N sniffles.

"And may I ask your relations to this young lady?" The doctor asks, glancing over at me. I don't know how to respond with out Y/N getting pissed at me for saying the wrong thing.

"I'm uh, I'm her boyfriend." I choke out, messing with the wrist cuff on my shirt. (Has anyone else noticed he does this when he is nervous? Its a-dork-able!) Y/N looks up at me, but doesn't say anything.

"Okay, and was the baby yours?" He writes something down on the clipboard he has in his hands. I nod. The doctor again writes something down as the nurse reaches into the cabinet above the sink, pulling out a hospital gown.

"Okay, miss. We are going to take care of the fetus-"

"Baby." Y/N stops Dr. Ritchie mid-sentence, correcting him.

"I'm sorry. We'll take care of the baby, then we will do a short ultrasound to see how much damage was done to you, okay?" He explains. She nods, and the nurse asks her to take off her dress and any undergarments she may have on, while I am practically shoved out of the room to sit in the chairs sporadically placed down the hallway. I pull out my phone to see multiple missed calls and texts from Ian. But I don't feel like responding.

All that seems to be able to run through my mind is the past half hour. The anger I felt when all of my stress finally made me snap, the fear that coursed through my veins as Y/N fell down the stairs, and the cold, unforgiving stare as she said 'How could you?'

About fifteen minutes later, the ultrasound tech wheels the equipment into the room, and the doctor allows me back into the room. Y/N looks kind of pale, and slightly terrified as the ultrasound machine turns on.

"Are you okay, Y/N?" I ask, gently. She shakes her head, holding back tears. I walk over to her side. "I just wanted to apologize. Island hasn't been letting me record, and it's been stressing me out. I snapped, and I swear, I won't ever hurt you again. That wasn't me back there." I apologize. Y/N nods, reaching her hand out and taking mine.

"I forgive you, Shawn. But you have to understand why I'm mad at you." She squeezes my hand. I hadn't even realized the ultrasound tech had left the room until she comes back in.

"Okay I'm sorry. This cart was out of gel. Normally, I keep my gel warmed, but since I got this from another cart, it is cold. Anyways, if you would lift up your gown for me? And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for your loss." She rambles, sitting down on her stool. I glance at her ID badge. Caroline.

Caroline places a towel right below Y/N's stomach and squirts some of the cold goo over her stomach. Y/N flinches as Caroline takes the scanner and gently places it on her, moving it around a little. An image appears on the screen, and I scan over it with my eyes.

"Oh!" Caroline exclaims. Anxiety makes my stomach do a flip. "Are you sure you had a miscarriage?"

"I'm positive, we just had the baby taken care of. Why?" Y/N sounds extremely worried.

"Unless I am seeing things, you have another baby! And it looks absolutely perfect! No damage was done to it during the fall!" Caroline takes the mouse on the machine and makes circles around a small black blob.

"What? How is this possible?" I ask in shock.

"I'll be right back in to answer your question, but Dr. Ritchie needs to see this." Caroline seems excited as she rushes out of the room.
Y/N and I stare at each other in shock.

"Could this be actually happening?" She is in the same state of disbelief as I am. Caroline and Dr. Ritchie come back into the room, and it only takes Caroline a couple of seconds to find the tiny blob again.

"Oh my goodness, it really is a fe-baby. And it's unharmed too! Congratulations, you guys are pregnant!" Dr. Ritchie says excitedly.

"How?" I ask again.

"A miracle." Caroline smiles.

A/N:

How Could You 2 as requested! Y'all won't let me have a sad ending... Geez. This one was actually really hard to type because I had to do some research and now in my recent searches: Is it possible to have a miscarriage and still be pregnant?

The answer is yes, by the way. It could be misdiagnosed or there could be a twin, like in this story. Anyways, let's just hope my parents don't check my recent searches... Cause I'll have some explaining to do. Vote, comment, and share if you liked it!!!

Imma start doings questions of the day next imagine as well, so comment some question ideas if you have any!
