06/03/10(Thu)21:45 No.35760673  "Keanu..."
Jennifer said, whispering into the phone. "She'll be OK, right
sweetheart? The doctors wouldn't let me see her right away. They took
her away from me."
"She'll be..." Keanu slowly trailed off. How
could he tell his wife he already knew the status of their newborn
child? She had been a stillborn. His wife must have known, there was no
way she didn't notice the lifelessness of their daughter.
"She'll
be fine sweetheart."
He couldn't do anything but lie to her,
how could he tell her what she already knew? Tears slid down his cheeks
as he heard a sigh of relief on the other side of the line. How could
they ever come back from a blow like this?
After hanging up,
Keanu slumped down on the hospital bench in the maternity ward where men
were forced to wait in a stupor for news of their wives. He stared up
at the TV and something was strange. He somehow got that feeling. On the
TV was a match between two teams he had no connection with. He began
half heartedly cheering for the losing side and he somehow got the
feeling he'd be hearing from Haruhi soon. |
