The tears rolled down her face as she looked down at Malaki’s pale face. She was trying to keep her voice steady, telling him about the ultrasound, how Aaron and Mia had promised to look after her and Nugget and how everything was going to be okay, that he could go and that it was okay and he could be free of pain.
Her chest was heavy, her heart breaking as she murmured the words that he could go and be free from the pain. She didn’t want him to go; she wanted him to stay forever. She wanted him to open his eyes, flash his gorgeous smile and then for the whole ordeal to be over. That they welcome their baby into the world together...
Looking down, she realised that wasn't going to be the case. He wasn’t with her anymore, but just a mere shell of his former self. She lay her head on the pillow next to him, wrapped her hand around his, entwining his fingers with hers and kissed his hand, pressing it to her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.
