Are you okay?

Adele POV

I woke up with the sun shining through the curtains, the birds chirping, and my man laying right beside me.

Everything seemed perfect in this moment. Until I realized what happened yesterday.

I don't think that I have fully comprehend what happened. My son died and I still don't know the cause. My unborn child died from stress probably because I was worried about my son.

This is my fault.

I roll over to my side and see Rich eyes looking into mine. "Morning baby" he said and kissed my forehead. "I love you" I kissed him and shed a few tears knowing that he is the one who can get me out of the state I'm in.

"What was that for?" He questioned "just don't leave me okay?" I said and got out of bed.

I wasn't planning on doing much of anything today. The last twelve hours have been difficult on my well being and I need to just sit with my feelings.

As I walked into the bathroom I heard Rich whisper "I will never leave you Del"

Something about that made me feel so secured. He loved me and I loved him.

It was later in the day and I got a text from Simon. It said 'hey any chance I could come over for a second?' I said he could and in a matter of seconds I heard my door bell ring.

I went to the front door and opened it. I could tell he had been crying. "Hey" I said sounding weak. "Look Adele this is all my fault." He said looking down at his feet. "No way in hell this is your fault Simon. It's no one's fault okay. Stop beating yourself up over it. Okay?" I said.

I welcomed him inside and we sat down in the living room.

"Laurie, I'm sorry about your baby." He said "Thanks" I showed only a little emotion. I didn't want to break down in front of him.

"How are we going to get past this?" He asked looking up from the ground. "I don't know Simon. But I know that we will at least get easier has time goes on. But I'll miss our baby boy forever." I wiped the tear that I slipped from my eye.

Simon stayed silent. "What are you going to tell Georgie?" I asked him. Georgie was Angelo's half sister. Simon and his ex wife Clary had her before Simon and I started dating. She was my step daughter for a while and we are still very close. "I don't know. I'm not ready to tell her yet." He said "I don't blame you"

He left a few minutes later and I cried into the pillow on the bed.

I heard Rich come through the door and shout my name but I didn't answer. I'm just going to let him find me.

"Adele sweetie" he said walking into the room and rubbing my back. "What?" "Are you okay?" He asked sincerely. "No Rich I'm not. I'm so fucking depressed. I just lost my two children." I cried into his chest until I fell asleep.
