Re: Jules and Daani, 7pm Potential CW: miscarriage, abortion, pregnancy
Daani sighed again. "You know, in retrospect I don't know why I didn't tell him. He wouldn't have demanded one way or another, he's a good man," she said with a brittleness which belay what was still to come in her story. She swallowed hard and stared mostly into nothing as she sipped some more tea.
"Even though it doesn't fit with the faith really I didn't grow up in a house shunning abortion. My mum's a Healer, and she's always been an advocate of people deciding for their own bodies after sound medical advice. Bringing a life into the world that I wasn't ready to give my all to caring for wouldn't have been right," she said quietly. There was conviction in her words, but they were tinged with sadness as tears started to prick at her eyes again.
"I went to a private clinic so I didn't have to see anyone who might tell someone I knew at St Mungo's and it was all arranged. I had to go back a few days later because I needed to stay because nobody would be around to keep an eye on me after.
"I'd told my best friend, and she was really supportive, but it was my decision. And then...and then it got taken away from me," she said, her breath hitching again. "Two days before...before I was going to-" the tears began to fall. "I'd decided, but I knew when... I was ready to say goodbye and then I started bleeding." She was muffled, crying into her tea, as the tears turned to sobs and she curled further in on herself.
