Emily nodded, unsure where to go or what to say.
Chevalier walked down and picked up the bags Kyle left on the stairs. He started up to the bedroom with them, and Emily followed him silently. Once inside, she shut the door behind her and looked around the cold room.
Chevalier put the bags down and turned, frowning, “Wait…”
Emily sighed and looked down at the wood pattern on the floor.
“What happened?” His voice changed, it was suddenly soft and concerned.
Emily turned away from him. She hated the tears that were forming in her eyes, “I lost the baby.”
“When?” he whispered, and she could tell he was right behind her.
“Two days ago.”
She felt his hand on her shoulder and found it hard to breathe, “Are you ok?”
Emily nodded, her breath catching, “Just tired.”
“Maybe…” he was afraid to talk, afraid to scare her away, but he didn’t like her color or the dark circles under her eyes. “Maybe you need to see a doctor.”
“I did,” Emily whispered. “I was in the hospital but… I had to leave early for the meeting.”
Chevalier sat down and pulled her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. Emily leaned her head against his neck and started to cry softly.
“It’s ok,” he whispered, and kissed her forehead.
“Chev, do you love me?” Emily whispered.
Chevalier frowned, “Of course I do. I will forever.”
