Him

Chapter 30

      Ross's Pov.
               Laura and I cried ourselves to sleep last night. We loved that baby. How are we supposed to tell Shor and Rowan, even though they are only almost 2 years old. The twins loved that baby too. Always asking Laura questions about the baby. They would always say how they couldn't wait to see their baby brother or sister.  Now we won't hear that. I start crying into my knees until I feel someone hug me. Laura. I hug back instantly and cry harder.

" Laura why did the baby die?" I asked.

" It was a way of God telling us it wasn't the right time to have a baby." She said with her voice cracking.

" Laur I'm going to the store. Do you need anything?" I ask. She shakes her head.

"Can you pick up the twins on your way back?" She asked. I nod and kiss her cheek get ready and leave.

Riker's Pov
     I got home last night and I went straight to bed. I silently cried myself to sleep. After I woke up this morning I had called a family meeting so I could tell what has happened the night before.

" Guys I have something to say." I say and everyone listens.

"Laura's baby..... died. The baby couldn't stand the pain Laura was in. That's why me and Mom went to the hospital last night. Laura was in so much pain. When Mom and I got there Ross was crying his eyes out. He said that the last time he had seen Laura was when she was screaming in pain. He just cried into me and Mom's shoulders. When we went and seen Laura, she said they had to take the baby out of her stomach. Ross and Laura were crying. It was so hard seeing them cry." I said in tears. Rydel was crying into Ellington's shoulder and Rocky and Ryland were hugging each other crying. I was crying with my hands covering my face. We hear a knock at the door and we go get the twins. Mom opens the door.

"Mom have you been crying?" Ross asked.

"Yeah Riker just told the family what happened and the family is heartbroken. I am so sorry Ross. Hopefully you will have a baby soon." Mom says.

"Thanks mom." He says and he gets the twins and leaves the house.

Ross's Pov.

     I get home after I put the kids down for a nap, put the groceries up and go straight to the music room. I sit down at the piano and start playing.

Weeks on end, I'm on the road

I start to lose my sense of home

I should've called so many times but I,

I just sat next to my phone

Just know it takes it from me

To end this darling, oh

And I know you'll find someone who

Gives you the time I didn't give to you

I'm running low

I'm sorry, but I have to go

It may be I who never feel

You gave me something so real

I'm running low

I'm sorry, but I have to go

Oh oh

Oh oh

Thinking back to every night

That we just laid there for a while

And when I looked into your eyes oh

I never thought I'd say goodbye

Just know it takes it from me

To end this darling, oh yeah

And I know you'll find someone who

Gives you the time I didn't give to you

I'm running low

I'm sorry, but I have to go

It may be I who never feel

You gave me something so real

I'm running low

I'm sorry, but I have to go

Just needed time to, to find my own

But I promise someone will give you all you want

Can give you all you need

And you just gotta see

I never meant to hurt you, no

And I know you'll find someone who

Gives you the time I didn't give to you

I'm running low

I'm sorry, but I have to go

It may be I who never feel

You gave me something so real

I'm sorry, but I have to go

I ended the song with tears in my eyes. I get up from the piano and find Laura on our bed with dried tears on her face.  I pick her up and sit on our bed just holding her. Caressing her cheek I start crying hugging her tightly. I feel her hug back tighter. I fall asleep holding her.
