We get to the hospital on time for Amy's appointment.
"So is it just an ultrasound today?!" the doctor asks.
"Yeah," I say loping my arm round Amy's waist.
He shows Amy to the room and I follow behind.
"Just Amelia please," he says.
I sigh and take a seat outside the room.
Five minutes later the doctor emerges from the room.
"She'd like to talk to you," he says.
I stand up from my seat and go into the room.
She is sat upright in the bed; tears flooding from her eyes.
"Amy?"
She looks up.
"What's wrong?"
"There's nothing there," she sobs. "She's gone. I just wanted to let you know you won't be a dad after all."
"Amy?!" I begin.
"No Lucus I think it's best if we don't see each other."
"For awhile?! Okay I understand. Do you want a ride home?"
"No ever again. Mum's coming to get me," she says wiping the tears from her eyes. "Bye Lucus."
"Bye Amelia," I say leaving the room.
I walk out of the hospital with the burden of being a father lifted off my shoulders but with the love of my life taken from my arms.
