“Right.” She said as she removed the clipboard from her hands and placed it back in the holding tray on the bed. “Mrs. Wilkins your procedure has been scheduled for 3:30 Tuesday afternoon. Do you have any further questions or concerns you would like for me to address?”
Instead Tina just looked out of the window and shook her head, wanting nothing more than to just be left alone again. With that Dr. Porter left her again, she thought it would be better to leave her to her own thoughts rather than to try and address her emotional instability. Outside seemed to be another unknown dimension to her. Out there was happiness, and people who knew nothing of this tortuous pain that coursed through her like cold steel.
The sun was setting and judging by the warm tones of the sky it was just around the same time Rick would come home. The first sound she’d hear was his keys hitting the plate by the door and the click of the lock. Systematically, he would take his briefcase into his study and leave it at the door and then he would go to the bedroom and loosen his tie with three long swings. He’d shake off his jacket and remove his cufflinks to place them on their dresser by the mirror. She remembered getting ready for work and he’d bend down to kiss her as she was applying her make up, just to grab his cufflinks. The brilliant white gold ones she’d given him on his birthday, they were his favorite pair.
He’d unbutton his shirt and hang up his suit along with it, his socks were balled up and thrown into the hamper and he’d dress in some casual jeans and a t-shirt. Everything in his daily regiment had an order and everything had a designated place. He never broke from this and Tina loved him for it. It was theirs alone, nothing in the way of that. She’d watch how he took the time to place his shoes neatly back into their space or how his ties were neatly hanging from his rack and everything was organized and placed where he alone needed them to be. This odd and sometimes infuriating quirk was something, like most couples she grew to love and accept.

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!
I am hereby encouraging you to soldier on with this tale, I really really got with your writing and very much appreciate fresh and challenging thought within these characters. It has verysubconsciousintellectual undertones and I feel like I get what you’re trying to reach for….. so thank you and by all means follow thru….:D
