The day came when Tina’s eyes were assaulted by bright, cheerful sunlight through her eyelids. In her dream state she never dreamed as often as she should. Her brain was completely void of pressing thoughts or matters. The way she needed it to be. She fluttered her eyes open and shut trying to adjust to the light. Alice saw this and immediately drew the curtains shut for her, before she returned to her side gently calling her name.
“Tina?” she asked holding her hand so softly Tina could barely feel it. She asked again and Tina allowed herself to wake up to this dry and painful reality of being a recent widow. Alice’s heart floated when she finally got a look at the mournful, swollen, red eyes of her best friend.
“Alice?” she nodded at her voice and exhaled with a hopeful smile. “What happened to me?”
“You passed out. Dr. Morales said you were almost fatally dehydrated and your heart rate was dangerously high. But you’re going to be fine. They said that with the right medication and few more days of rest you can go home.”
“Rest.” her voice was so raspy and harsh it came out like a whisper. The central part of her that included her husband in every aspect of her life wanted to ask Alice ’Where’s Rick?’ but, reality set in and she remembered all to well that she was alone. All alone again.
“T, Sweetie I spoke with the doctor the other day and she said that you’re pregnant. A little over three weeks in fact.” Tina looked at Alice as though she saw a glimmer of happiness in her, and it angered her instantly. She didn’t know why but this seemed like the end of her world all together. The final blow that couldn’t be avoided to her heart or body.
“Pregnant?” she whispered as she sat up weakly, her weak muscles fighting with her I.V. attached to her hand. Alice nodded her head with a soft smile and hoped that behind Tina’s confused brow there was some happiness. “Alice I’m on birth control, that’s impossible.” she stated to herself as much as Alice. Alice shook her head and felt more emotional than she thought.

Wow talk about heartbreak
Been a a silent fan of your work. I wait for an update for this story everyday…it’s a favorite of mine…I know what it’s like to grieve…hope you post soon.
I have always loved your writing. The emotions are so tangible in this story! I can’t wait for more. PPS
Wow, Tina has been through the ringer. My thought process is more inline with Alice’s. Maybe now Tina has come to realize that she is still tied to Rick through this unborn child.
5Poor baby she has been thru so much but maybe now she sees that she still has a part of Rick with her and will always see his smile, hear his laughter and all the little nuances of him in the little one she is carrying. She will see so much of him when this child is born and while the child grows to maturity. She will see his eyes, his hands, his nose, a turn of his head, just a myriad of things about him that only she will recognize.Thanks for posting.
Poor Tina.Thank you for the update.PPS
Thank you for this story – you have written such a moving depiction of Tina’s grief. I’m sure with Rick’s baby and Alice’s help she will get through this terrible period, and in time can meet Dr Porter again.
This is so sad and heartbreak for Tina. Yay Dr.Porter is here and hope she will help Tina and keep the baby. Please post more, thanks!
