CHAPTER 64 / IS SOMETHING WRONG?

set early august, let's say the first of august. 

Ever since Zane and Nana had lost their first baby, they continued trying to get Nana pregnant again. They had another test finding out that she was. The couple was thrilled to have the opportunity to have a baby in their family. 

They'd known for just under a week and couldn't wait to tell everyone. They almost didn't wait and nearly ran downstairs at that moment with the stick to show everyone. Again. 

But, when some happiness rises, there can be something to bring it down to the ground again. Not always, but sometimes, right? 

A day after their first minor ultrasound to confirm she was pregnant, Nana and Zane couldn't have been happier. 

Yet, the next day they lost the baby. Maybe the ultrasound cream sent an allergic reaction to Nana's body which reacted to the foetus, therefore killing it. Of course, this was only an assumption. 

This time the baby was so tiny, around the size of a poppy seed that Nana couldn't save it as she'd done with the last. She kept the secret bottled up inside her until late that night when she was subconsciously sobbing in her sleep. 

Zane woke up and froze as he saw his fiancé crying, rolling in a ball against the pillows. He woke her up, and she collapsed and cried in Zane's arms. This time she wasn't afraid to break the news to Zane, but she knew it would devastate him. He looked so happy during the appointment and this was the worst possible thing that could have happened so far. 

She decided to tell him. She didn't want to his it from him, she didn't want to lie. After a while she stopped crying and cuddled next to Zane, simply thinking racing thoughts through her mind. Nana wiped the tears from her face and told him the news. It broke her heart to tell him this, again. 

"What?" Zane asked, bringing in Nana for a tighter hug. 

"Why isn't this working?" She asked softly. "Are we doing something wrong?"

"I- I don't know, Nana," Zane sighed. "Maybe it just isn't time for us to have a baby just yet. I know that we want to have a baby between us, but maybe we aren't supposed to have one yet." 

"Okay," Nana whispered. "So, we stop trying and forget about the babies? Then, come back to it." 

"That sounds perfect for us, right now. Let's just enjoy the end of the summer before we go home again."

Alright, alright, look, I'm sorry for killing off another baby, but LOOK! SEE THAT CHARACTER GROWTH?! That's what I want to see through this book. I have the best ending for this book but it's not coming yet. Thank you for accepting my lack of updating and publishing so far. :)
