Im in the bathroom  -and suddenly I feel pain at my sub umbilical region . It is so intense that I can barely walk. It starts after I vomit. I starts to feel dizzy and I lie down on my bathroom floor. I try to call Nic, my voice is barely audible ..

After fifteen minutes of laying on the floor in pain , I heard him
"Rebecca. Are you there ."

I start to cry. I think I'm getting acute appendicitis. If I have to go operation , there will be scar on my belly. I don't want ..
"Nic, my stomach is hurt .." I try to reach the door knob to open the door lock,

"Oh my god, Rebecca are you ok,.you are sweating"
I can't answer .  Nic carry me from the bathroom to the bed. It's starting to relieve pain . I can now talk . Not dizzy anymore,

"Let's go to hospital," he says in rush .

"No. "I says stubbornly.

"You are in pain. You need to go. Don't be childish." He insisted

"No. If I go to hospital. They will only inject me Declo (analgesic ). It will cost a lot there when it is not that expensive "

"Rebecca. Come on. You don't need to worry about money . We have a lot, ok? Let's go"

I starts to feel pain again.  What if it were acute appendicitis and need urgent surgery...there gonna be surgical mark on my body. I won't be able to wear bikini anymore ...I think In panic yet
I feel pain again. Finally I give in. Nic drive to the hospital in haste,

At the front of hospital, I feel no  more pain ...

"I don't want to go " I say and try to get into the car.

"No" he restored.

"Look. Nic I'm not feeling pain anymore , I don't want to go to hospital ." I try to open the car door . It's locked.

"Nic open it,"

"No"

"Look, I'm a medical student that doesn't  mean I'm not afraid   of medicine and hospital. Ok? Let me go home" I tell him  with a pout

I feel I am lifted off the ground..

"You are quite bargaining " Nic says in annoyance and I pout again

At the doctor office, the nurse make me lay on the bed. And Nic sits besides the bed, holding my hands. I heard the door clicked
"Hello, Good evening . Before the procedure I need to take history , ok, it won't take much minutes, ok?"

"It's ok. My name is Rebecca Starling. Twenty two, female, address XXXX,a Christian,  " I introduced myself , knowing what the doctor ask the patient .
"So, Ms.Starling" the doctor begins.

"It's Mrs. Starling. She is my wife." Nic point out . I know he is being jealous for no reason.

"Sorry, she seems young . What s the matter "

"I have intense unspecify pain. I can barely walk or speak. The Pain is abrupt onset , and intermittent pain . It's starts about an hour ago......"I keep on informing all according to SOCRETEE.
Pain description.

AFTER FIVE MINUTES.
The doctor ask me about gynecological questions.. But something she talk about make me feel unpleasant. That's is .
"Do you have any children?"

"Of course not,,,,,,," shutter. I feel uncertain . I look at Nic and Nic looks uneasy. Did We ever have a baby?
Suddenly I feel suffocated and my hands and feet get cold and sweats. And all i can see is black....

"Mama , play with me " a boy tugs my maxi skirt . I smile and kneel to his height,
"Mama you are so preeety " he says in boyish tone with a blush while holding my cheek with her hands.
I just hug him.
"Look ! Dada is coming" he says in cheerful manner.

I have been crying . I remember my baby.
"Mama is so sorry. I'm so sorry for being careless. Mama loves you"I sobs in hallucination.
"Rebecca"

I heard others voices
"What happen?" My dad asked
"Is she going to be ok?" My mom
...........
............

"Rebecca" I open my teary eyes and saw the one I need most.

'Nic" I pull him into a tight hug...
"I lost our baby , I lost him. Its my fault ," I sob into his chest.
He stroke my hair "I know. It's not your fault. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner'
I sob again in his embrace and I feel a light kiss on my head ..
"Its my fault "I keep murmuring.

"I am so careless. It's all my fault" I sobbed .
" no it's not true, it's just cruel fate, we will get through this together " Nic soothes me...

We keep crying in each other embrace, moaning for our lost child . Our poor baby .

After a moment I fall asleep .  I wake  up  and feel a hand me . I open my eyes and see
"Mom... how long did I sleep?"
"Three hours . Honey . How are you feeling"
" I don't know . Where is Nic mom. " I say with tears in my eyes while being kept in my mom's embrace .
" he and dad are counseling with doctor"
"Counseling about what?"
