Abi's P.O.V.

Clint let out a choked sob as fresh tears stained his cheeks, my heart probably would've felt as if it broke if it hadn't already been ripped from my chest when the doctor gave me the news.

"I'm sorry sir but I'm going to have to ask you to leave, Miss Gilbert needs to go down to theatre." The doctor said as he came into my room.

Clint nodded and kissed my forehead before leaving, I stayed silent on the way down to the theatre but all I wanted to do was scream, I had never felt pain like this in my life and for the first time ever I just wanted to die.

Tony's P.O.V.

We all sat in anticipation in the waiting room for Clint to come back from Abi's room, without realising it I was tapping my leg and only when Pepper put her hand on my knee did I stop.

"She's going to be fine." Pepper said, I wasn't sure if she was saying it for me or herself.

"I hope so." I said.

I looked around at the others, they all looked just as worried as I had felt, waiting was the worst thing ever. I put my head in my hands and let out a sigh, but my head whipped up when I heard footsteps approaching. Clint walked around the corner and my heart sunk, whatever it was wasn't good, his eyes were red and puffy and tears stained his face.

"What did she say?" Steve asked quickly.

"They're taking her down to theatre now, she had a miscarriage." He choked.

I quickly got up from my seat and wrapped him in a hug as he sobbed onto my shoulder. He had been so excited to be a dad, he always talked about it, I couldn't imagine the pain he was feeling right now.

"I need a minute." He said, pulling away from me.

He walked out of the hospital and I went to follow him but Pepper put her hand on my chest to stop me.

"Give him time, he needs to process it all, he's just lost his child." Pepper said sadly.

I nodded my head and she took me by surprise when she wrapped her arms around me, resting her head on my chest but I didn't hesitate to wrap my arms tightly around her. We all sat around for what felt like forever, Steve left at one point to get us food but he wasn't gone for long and after three hours Clint still hadn't returned.

"Abi Gilbert." A doctor called as he stepped into the waiting room and we all practically ran over to him.

"How is she?" Bruce asked.

"The surgery was successful, she's just woken up if you want to come and see her. Also, we need to speak to the father of the baby as Miss Gilbert didn't make the decision if they would like us to schedule a funeral or not." The doctor said.

"I don't think it'll be a good idea for us all to swarm in, let me go and see her before you guys come in. And as for the other matter, Clint isn't here at the moment but he should be back soon, Tony call him and get him back here." Pepper said.

We all agreed, I did as she said and Pepper followed the doctor towards Abi's room, Pepper was probably the best choice out of all of us although she probably still wouldn't really know what to say either. Clint wouldn't answer his phone even though I tried calling him at least 50 times, I let out a sigh as I dropped down into my chair. This must be awful for them, but the doctors need an answer.

Abi's P.O.V.

When I woke up, the doctor started talking to me but I just zoned out, I didn't want to hear all of that, I just wanted to go back to the house. The doctor left after giving up trying to talk to me, and a few minutes later Pepper came into the room.
