My heart stopped beating when Lila gave me a look of sorrow and then shook her head. My hands flung toward my mouth as full-blown sobs clouded the room, my sobs to be precisely. I shook my head repeatedly as I clutched onto Max for my dear life. "No. Please no."
Max hugged me tightly as tears fell down his own cheeks, wetting mine. "I want to hold him please." I begged Lila as I reached for my baby. I hugged him closer to my body and planted a kiss on his still warm forehead as I sniffed. "Please wake up, you can't be dead." I sobbed uncontrollably.
"You said everything was going to be alright. It was all a lie." I cried out as I cradled my baby in my arms. "You told me not to give up, that we were never a coward and a quitter. You told me that he needs me, that his life depended on me. You didn't want me to live with the guilt of knowing that my son died because of me so why would you take him away from me?" I wept and sobbed uncontrollably as I cocooned him in my arms.
