LILY

"Have you thought of names?"

Fuck! How can her voice be this cheerful at this hour? I mean... it sounds too awake. It's barely daybreak. Or so I think. I wouldn't know. She sits on the edge of my bed and flips the covers off me.

I groan and clamp my hands over my face. "I just woke up, Liz. And... I'm just twenty-eight weeks gone." I complain, then try to roll onto my side but it's almost impossible when I'm this pregnant. So I try to drag the covers up my head but she catches them and shakes her head at me.

"Nope. Don't do that. Come on, baby. You have to go for your morning walk. Keep the circulation moving, keep those ankles from doubling in size." She says softly, holding out her hand to me like she always does.

"I don't want to," I say, staring at the ceiling. "I feel so weak."

"I know honey, just a short one."

It’s not one of the days I lie about how strong I am. Some days I pretend I’m stronger than I am because everyone needs me to be. Today, my bones feel hollow. I fe

knowing she's pregnant! I don't know if I could ever look at him the same.

    LILY"I will have you moved to the private suite. Is that okay, ma'am?" The doctor asks Elizabeth."Yes. Do whatever makes her comfortable. The money isn't a problem." Elizabeth nods."Great. We'll get the paperwork ready. I'll just..." She has her hand on the ultrasound wand, her eyes on the 'off' switch. She pauses, not pressing the switch. The way I'm focused on this doctor is really confusing. And I'm watching all of her every move. The way she frowns, her eyes darting back to the monitor. "Lily, stay very still," she says. "What? What is it?" Elizabeth asks. "Is she... is there a pulse?""No," Louisiana whispers, as she slides the wand higher, pushing against the top of my ribcage. "I'm... I'm seeing a third sack. It's tucked high, behind the others."I hold my breath, staying so still. I don't know what she means but I can only hope. The room is silent until the sound comes. Thump-thump, thump-thump. That's a heartbeat... right? It has to be. I stare at Louisiana, blinking my

    LILY"Lily," Dr. Louisiana says, sitting on a rolling stool to get level with my eyes. "I need you to listen carefully. This is the hardest part of my job, and it is the hardest choice you will ever have to make.""Just take them out," I say. "I can't... I can't feel her just sitting there. It's not right.""If we deliver right now," the doctor begins. "Your son has about an 80 to 90 percent chance of survival. That sounds high, but at twenty-eight weeks, those odds come with a heavy price. His lungs are like tissue paper. He would almost certainly face brain bleeds, intestinal issues, and months, if not a year, in the NICU. Some of those complications can last a lifetime.""Every day we keep him inside... every twenty-four hours... gives him a massive leap in development. If we can get you to thirty-two weeks, his chances of a completely healthy life without disability become nearly certain.""But she’s..." I choke on the word. "She’s gone.""I know. Because they have separate placen

  • The Goalie's Tutor   Notice!!!

    What are your thoughts on Lily losing one twin? Also, moving forward, I’ll be shifting the focus from Lily's pregnancy to her social and romantic life. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share in the comments! Who do you think is the best match for Lily, and why? The options are Tyler and Aiden, but I’m also open to adding a third love interest🌚.

    LILYTyler is here again. Yes. The same guy I met on my first morning here. I don't know what he's doing here but I think he's staying for a while. I'll ask Elizabeth about it when I find it in me to get out of this bed. The internal debate starts, as it does every morning. If I get up, I'll have to pee. There's no debating it. Once I'm on my feet, my bladder hits and I have to frequently use the bathroom. So I snuggle into my sheets more, glad that Jace and Bailey, are at school. It's not every day my body decides to give me a break. I've got to enjoy this.After a while, my phone beeps and I groan, rolling onto my side, then immediately regret it because my stomach does rounds of flipping like I've been spun around in a chair. I clamp a hand over my mouth and breathe through my nose, counting backward from ten like Doctor Louisiana suggested.Ten. Nine. Eight. The bile recedes, leaving a bitter taste in my throat. I finally swing my legs off the bed and sit there for a minute. It a

    LILYI'm sitting on the crinkly paper of the exam table, staring at a poster of the human reproductive system like it’s the most interesting thing in the world. It is now. At least it's keeping me from doing anything. Elizabeth is hovering by my side, her hand resting on my shoulder.Doctor Louisiana walks in, clicking her pen. She’s got that same warm smile that she has each time I come in for an appointment, but there’s a little extra twinkle in her eye today."Alright, Lily. We got the results back from the NIPT screening. Everything looks healthy, which is the most important part.""Great," I say. My voice is flat. I'm not smiling. I know she can tell this place is the last place I want to be. "So, what is it? A boy? A girl? Can I go now?"Elizabeth gives my shoulder a gentle squeeze. "Lily, be patient."The doctor chuckles, moving the ultrasound wand over my small bump. The gel is cold, and I shiver. I just want her to say the word so I can leave."Well," the doctor says, eyes fi
