Nikki felt like the life has been sucked out of her. She was finding it hard to accept that the other being she was carrying inside her was gone.
The thought of not being able to hold the little child she's been envisioning broke her.
It was a different pain from just getting her heart broke. She felt like she had been cut out to pieces. The truth of the matter was not letting her feel anything other than the deep sorrow inside her chest.
She could afford a smile or two but beyond that, she can no longer force anything else. The gravity of it was sucking the little energy she had left.
Jacob brought her home and never left he side. Nikki knew how he must be feeling. It wasn't only her child, it was his.
The light and joy he had expressed after learning of her pregnancy haunted her right now, bringing back fresh tears in her eyes.
