"Cos she hasn't lost it yet. You don't want to tempt fate. Talk yourself into believing she wont. It'll hurt more if it does happen, but you need to be strong for her, yeah? It might not hurt to get on your knees and talk to the baby. Tell it how much you want it to stay. It's supposed to be able to hear you, you know." Alex wanted to just hug him. The sad kicked puppy look on his face, and the thickness of his voice made it very hard not to. But she wasn't quite sure how he'd take such actions from her. As they barely knew each other.
"Everyday that it's still in her belly, that the baby is still alive and squirming about, and doing it's seamonkey duty will be your happy thing. Don't think about the bad, until there is actually bad. Right now, it's still good. It's still there. And her hormone levels could just level out, and you'll be laughing at yourself later." God she hoped she was right. She hoped that things would turn out fine for them both. Not that she'd ever been through anything like that but in her heart Alex believed that no parent should have to live through the death of a child. In womb or out. Even if it happened everyday.
