Michael has been sitting in the hospital waiting room for three more hours. He told the family to go home and he said he would call once he knew anything about Holly and the baby. The whole time he is there he has his head in his hands thinking about both of them. After an eternity Dr. Stevens comes out. Michael stands up nervously "So how are they?" "Holly will be fine." Michael lets out a deep relieved sigh "Oh great and what about the baby?" Dr. Stevens shakes his head "I'm sorry it was already to late when we got there." Michael is just silent. "I swear Michael we tried to do everything we could. But somehow the umbilical cord wraped around the baby's neck and killed it." Michael has a tear run down his face "Can I see Holly?" "Of course follow me. She is sleeping now but you can go in." While they are walking towards Holly's room Michael asks "Does Holly know?" "No she won't know anything that went on, if you want I will tell her?" "No i'll tell her." "Alright here we are, again Michael I am truly sorry I know how much you both wanted this baby." Michael just nods his head. "Oh and it was a boy by the way." "A boy!" "Yes i'm sorry." Michael is standing in front of Holly's door having tears run down his face.

He very slowly walks in Holly's room. His heart feels heavy seeing Holly sleeping knowing she dosen't know what happened. He pulls up a chair beside her bed and very sweetly moves some hair away from her face. The tears in his eyes keeps forming, especially after he saw her flat stomach again. Michael keeps telling himself to be strong for them so he quickly wipes his tears away. Soon Holly wakes up and sees Michael looking at her. She weakly says "Michael...?" He takes hold of her hand "Hi honey." "What happend, where am I?" "Your in the hospital." "Why?" "You became unconscious." "Oh yea I remember feeling lightheaded and then I just felt something hard but that's all." Holly moves her head and suddenly she notices her flat stomach too. She starts to hyperventilate while saying "W-Where's my b-baby!?" "Honey we lost it." She starts shaking her head and keeps repeating "No, no its not true!" "Yes 'Holl'." "H-How!?" "It doesn't matter how." "I want to know!" She yells at him. "The umbilical cord got caught around its neck." She starts to cry loudly and screams "NO!" Michael is chocked with tears but he is trying not to let them fall. "Honey please don't cry." He hugs her tightly. She becomes hysterical so much that the nurses can hear her. "Holly you have to calm down!" Suddenly the nurse comes in. "What's going on in here!" She asks. "Nurse she's becoming hysterical I don't what to do?" "I'll go get something." The nurse comes back and shoots Holly up with a sedative to calm her down. Suddenly Holly becomes calm and relaxed. "Listen Mr. Jackson maybe you should leave for a little while." The nurse suggests. Michael nods his head. He gives Holly a kiss and wispers "I'll be back in a little while." With that he leaves to go home and tell the family the bad news.

When the family was told they were absoutly devastated. They said in two more days Holly could be discharged. Michael is trying to remain strong that he is trying to be upbeat. He comes in Holly's room on the morning the hospital was releasing her. "Hi honey!" He says upbeat. "So are you ready to come home today?" Holly just remains silent. "So why don't you get dressed and we will go home!" Holly gets out of bed and grabs some clothes not uttering a word to him. "Hey how about this 'Holl' why don't we watch a movie together in the movie theater?" "Fine." She replies flatly. He sighs "We can watch 'Top Gun' it came out a few days ago?" "Whaterver you want." She starts to walk towards the bathroom. "Holly how are you feeling?" "I'm fine." "Are you sure because I..." "I said i'm Fine!" Holly says snippy. "Alright." Michael says taken back by her tone with him.

When they arrive home no one is there, which Michael was kinda happy about because he didn't want them to ask Holly questions and get her upset. They walk up towards their bedroom. "So do you wanna go watch that movie?" He says opening the door. "I want to lie down Michael." She replies very coldly. "Okay." Right before he goes out the door he turns Holly around and kisses her. She puts to effort in kissing him back and when he looks into her eyes he doesn't see that life in her anymore, now he sees anger and sadness. "Holly do you want to talk about anything?" "There's nothing to talk about now if you'll excuse me." Michael walks out the door and turns around. He sweetly says "I love you." She looks at him and shuts the door in his face. That hurt his feeling beyond belief, never had he ever said "I love you" without her saying "I love you back!" He just stands there feeling hurt.
