Part Two
�Jim! Jim! Aaaaahh,� she screamed in pain.
Jim rushed upstairs. He had gone downstairs to get the towels from the washing machine and immediately dropped them and rushed upstairs to his wife.
By the time Jim got upstairs June was lying unconscious on the bathroom floor.
�June? June, wake up. Don�t do this to me.�
When he realised she wasn�t wakening up, he reached for his mobile phone and called an ambulance. Within 5 mins June was put in an ambulance and taken to St. Hughes.
�Just save my wife. Never mind the baby. Just save June,� Jim shouted as the doctor told him he would have to stay outside.
One of the nurses took Jim to the relatives room and got him a coffee but he just ignored it.
After what seemed to be hours to Jim, actually only 20 mins, a doctor came into the relatives room to tell Jim what was going on.
�How�s June? How�s my wife?� Jim asked, his eyes red from constant crying.
�I�m very sorry Mr Carver�� the doctor started.
�Nooooooo, nooo. Not my June,� Jim broke down and fell onto the floor and curled up in a ball.
�Mr. Carver. It�s not your wife. June is fine. She�s just gone for some tests. Unfortunately we couldn�t save the baby though.�
�June? She�s fine,� Jim asked as he heard what the doctor was telling him. �You mean� I�ve not lost her.� He started crying again.
�I will come and get you when you can see June. Shouldn�t be too long. She doesn�t know about the baby though. We thought it would be better if it came from you.�
�Thank you doctor. I don�t know what I would have done without her.�
Jim got up from the floor and gave the doctor a hug. She went red and when Jim realised what he had done, he let go.
�Jim?� June asked as she slowly came round from the anaesthetic.
�It�s alright hon, I�m here. You�re going to be fine,� he reassured her holding her hand.
�What happened?.... the baby�. Jim? Tell me!�
Jim didn�t know what to do. All he could do was try and tell her the truth.
�I�m so sorry. June, you lost the baby,� he said calmly. �The doctors couldn�t save it.�
�No�.no�� June cried. �It�s all my fault. I knew I was too old from the start. Oh��
�I�m sorry, maybe it just wasn�t meant to be. It doesn�t matter, all that matters is that we�re together. We don�t need children to make us happy.�
�Oh Jim. I know how much you wanted kids and know I can�t give you any. Maybe we�re just not meant to be together.�
�June, stop it. You�re confused. Of course we�re meant to be together. We always were. I�m not letting you go just because you�re too old to give me kids. I love you and I�m not moving. Whenever you need me, I�ll be there. I love you.�
�Oh Jim. I don�t know what I�ve done to deserve you. I love you too.�
Jim stood up and gave June a kiss on her forehead and gave her a hug.
�We�ll be fine. Just fine,� he whispered.
1 week later
�Are you sure you�re ready to go back to work?� Jim asked June as they got ready to go to work.
�I�m fine Jim. It�s been a week. If I don�t do something I�ll go crazy if I�m stuck in the house. Honest,� she said giving him a kiss.
�What was that for?� Jim said surprised.
�For you being so supportive. I don�t think I could have got through this past week without you and I thank you for that.�
�Well as long as you�re sure it�s what you want it�s fine with me. I�d do anything for you.�
�Well you can start by making me a cuppa then,� she laughed.
�That�s my girl. Back to your old self. We don�t need anything else. We�re happy the way we are.�
With that he went downstairs and made June a cuppa. While standing in front of the fridge looking for the milk, he suddenly started crying�..
