<seven>

 

About a week later Bailey and I were arranging the wedding and moving into a five bedroom house on the beach. All of this was happening so fast. I wasn't sure if I could handle it. The day after we settled everything at our new home, Bailey went shopping for a gown with my mother, her mother, BJ, Leslie, Angel and her sister Jenny. Bailey's brothers came over and I took the guys out to get tuxes. So it was me, my brother, and Bailey's twin brothers at 27 named Jacob, and Luke. Another week pasted by and suddenly I'm standing in the back of a lot of people waiting to be married. I almost clutched to my mother's arm as we started to the front of the aisle. Bailey and I decided we wanted to be married on the beach. Following my mother and I was, Mrs. Samson and my father, followed by Leslie and Bailey's best friend's brother Kyle. Then came Angel and Jenny. AJ and Bailey's best friend Stacy. Then came Kevin with Leighanne Then came Kyle's brother and Gabriel, One of my good friends. Followed by them were Howie and my cousin Bethany. I smiled as she went to her side. I couldn't believe this was happening. It was all so overwhelming. There was a pause and my brother came rushing down the aisle with half of his shirt UN-tucked. I laughed, as he came up behind me he whispered in my ear. "Sorry I had to use the bathroom."

I nodded my head and helped him fix his suit. I looked up to see Brian and my sister BJ walking slowly up the aisle. I was filled with pride. My sister looked beautiful in that baby blue gown. The music started. I looked at the ground. Finally I looked up to see Bailey in her short white dress, her long vial and her father crying happily as he took her too the front. I took her hand and I felt like it was just us two there on that beach. The wedding went by so quickly.

An hour later...

I was sitting up on a stage with Bailey in my lap. We were watching a dance contest at our reception. Bailey was everything I wanted in a wife. She was pretty, she was fun, and I loved her more than life itself. I lifted my head and kissed her neck.

She smiled down at me. "I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." The music stopped suddenly and we looked up. The dance contest was done. Bailey and I stood up.

"The winner is..." I watched the crowd as I waited for Bailey to answer, but instead her hand slipped from mine and she fell to the floor.

I was so shocked I couldn't move. I was afraid I'd faint myself too. But I gathered my energy and quickly got down beside her. "Bailey" I whispered.

By now, her father, mother, brothers and sister were gathered around with other people I couldn't see. Tears were streaming down my cheeks. It was our wedding day... Nothing bad was supposed to happen.

I felt someone take my arm. I turned around to see Brian. I didn't want to move. I struggled as he pulled me away to let paramedics into the group. When did they get there? I couldn't watch, like a baby I hid my face in Brian and let him comfort me like I was his little brother. In a sense I was. Brian pulled me outside and we climbed into his car. We followed the ambulance to the hospital. When I got there my cheeks were tear stained, my eyes were puffy and I was afraid.

"Mr. Carter?" A doctor came up to me.

"Yes," I took Brian's hand for support

"The family said I should discuss the young woman's condition with you." I nodded. "Well you're wife is going to be fine." I felt some of the pressure lift off of me.

"But?" I asked.

The doctor smiled. "No but sir. You can go in and see her now." I didn't even wait for the man to finish, I went into the room.

"Bailey..." I whispered.

"Nick," I smiled and walked to the bed.

"Hi, are you okay." I moved some of her hair and kissed her fore head.

" I'm fine Nick, really." she chuckled.

"You scared me, what happened?" I asked.

Bailey was quiet for a few minutes, I knew something was wrong.

"Bailey?" I asked. I looked closer at her face and seen her crying.

"I told the doctor not to tell you, that I wanted to tell you myself. Please don't be mad."

I brushed some off the tears off her face. " What is it?"

I saw her take a deep breath. "I had a miscarriage."
