A miscarriage is a natural and common event. All told, probably more women have lost a child from this world than haven’t. Most don’t mention it, and they go on from day to day as if it hadn’t happened, so people imagine that a woman in this situation never really knew or loved what she had. But ask her sometime: how old would your child be now? And she’ll know.

❛ he… he died before anything happened. ❜
‘ oh –– i’m so sorry ... ’
satan worshipper.
‘ and you’re quiet the girl to deserve the sweet talkin’ — — if only, if only. and ‘m glad! friends only want their friends to lead contented lives, miss bethany. now – — i ain’t in the business of stealing from children. i’m a man, not a monster! so how about a friendly handshake — maybe a hug, if my new favorite pal is feeling a little risque on this nice afternoon? ’
‘ i don’t mind PLATONIC sweet talking; sometimes all a girl needs is a friendly compliment. good- as a mother i would’ve been pretty disappointed if you took some poor kid’s friendship bracelet. favorite? well- i think that deserves a hug, sure. ’
where are the adoption papers.
❛ that is so sweet! all the best relationships are founded on friendship, –– or so i’ve been told. no doubt it’s true, though. we, uh–– he worked for my dad. ❜
‘ how did your dad react to that? not that it really matters, love is love, but i imagine it was a romeo & juliet type of deal ––– minus the double suicide. ’
is willing to adopt becca.
❛ yeah, i wouldn’t know what to do without him. – – – that’s FANTASTIC! i dunno ‘bout you, but i LOVE love. especially when found in the darkest of time, you know? and what’s darker than the apocalypse, yeah? makes a great story too, my favorite kind. i’m definitely big on happy endings. so… how did the two of ya meet? i wanna hear all about it! ❜
‘ that’s probably the BEST time to find it –– – it can be a guiding light! was that what he was to you? she’s been my best friend for ages, kinda felt like i’ve known her forever; paige has been the biggest rock in my life, really. what about you, how did you two meet? ’
bi the way.
‘ girlfriend? no wonder you haven’t already fallen subject to my charms — — a taken woman. i hope you two are happy — — to think some people stay in bad relationships. think i’d like us to be friends too, bethany — — we can shake on it, or i can buy some of those friendship bracelets girls used to carry around … we’ll be thick as thieves by dawn if we keep up the sharin’ circle. ’
‘ you’re quite the sweet talker, i’ll give you that, but my heart does belong to another. it’s sad when people do that; but, rest assured, i am very happy. how about the shake? i don’t think anyone makes those dinky bracelets anymore, unless you wanna take one from one of the younger kids here -–– i doubt they’d have our names, though. ’
rebecca.
❛ sorry about that! so, girlfriend, huh? never had one of those. probably never will. i have mal now. and we’ll be together FOREVER, –– soulmates & all that. he’s the love of my life, y’know? through thick & thin, until death do us part. but that’ll never happen. no way. i wouldn’t let him go anywhere without me. he’s all i have. so… is she–– the love of yours? ❜
‘ yeah –– her name is paige & she’s .... she’s PERFECT. love is good! i’m so happy for you two, it’s always a joyous thing when someone finds they’re soulmate. but- mal as in malcom? i think i’ve met him; he’s quite the catch! i would say that she is, yes. ’
innocence thief.
‘ well, beth — — can i call you beth? — — i am incredibly sorry for your loss. i’m sure your husband would be proud of you taking care of your daughter and living so bravely — — now? that’s up to you, darling. a gentleman doesn’t coerce such a pretty lady into anything, even a friendship. ’
‘ you certainly can, ’ bethany offered a semi-sweet smile, hoping that the subject of her husband would pass as quickly as it came. ‘ thank you –– but i’m not doing it alone, i have a wonderful partner to help me out & i don’t know what i’d do without her. well i’d like for us to be friends; you can never have too many of those nowadays. ’
gay it up.
‘ you know i don’t mind, i like being able to help you out. makes me feel important ! and anything that helps you, helps me, really. ––– – but, uhm– maybe you could grab one or two of these things ? they are a little heavy. ’
‘ you’re important in many ways, though i have to say that you being a tremendous help is at the top of that list; mia thinks so, too. ’ bethany’s lips melted into a smug smile as she pushed herself off the chair she was seated in, both arms extended to grab some of what paige was carrying. ‘ where are we putting these? ’
( oh nah nah ) what’s her name?
❛ –– – well, i can’t wait to meet her! if your husband lets me, of course. never wanna get between a daddy & his little girl. there’s always goin’ to be that special bond, don’t ya think? ❜
‘ my husband passed away a before she was born, but i’m sure that my girlfriend wouldn’t mind having some extra help. ’
murder is always the answer.
‘ you haven’t ? i mean in all technicalities we kill people every time we shoot the infected. gotta do what you gotta do to survive ! ‘
‘ uh –– no. i mean, i may have hit a cat or two with my car a long time ago, but i’ve never ... done THAT. good point, i guess i didn’t think of it that way; truth be told i try not to think of it at all. well if it’s an infected, i suppose it’s d i f f e r e n t. ’
my sun & stars.
‘ i’m all good, i’ve got it ! –– do you need help with anything ? after i’m done here, that is. ’
‘ you’ve helped me out enough, paige, believe me ––– – i wanna help YOU. even if it’s as small as this. ’
vanessa lookin’ ass.
❛ –– – a baby girl?! what’s her name? i’ve ALWAYS wanted a daughter, did ya know? probably didn’t. that’s okay, though. don’t talk about it much. he–––– uh; but please do… because if you ever need that extra hand–– i’d be happy to lend mine. any hour of the day, i’m your gal. ❜
‘ her name’s mia & she’s quite possibly the cutest thing i’ve seen in my entire life, you’ll probably feel the same if you ever see her. she’s got my nose & lips, but has her father’s eyes – – super adorable, but i’m naturally going to think that no matter what. we’ll see how busy first aid keeps me ‘cause i imagine i’ll be tied up some of the time, but you’re definitely at the top of the list for possible sitters. ’
babysitter’s club.
❛ –– – wait; you have a baby? boy, or girl? how old are they? –––––– I LOVE KIDS! i could watch them for you. no charge, none at all. are you sure you don’t need me to?❜
‘ i do; she’s a girl & is a little over nine months! y’know, i think that my partner & i have it all under control at the moment, but i’ll let you know if we need any extra help –– thanks, though! ’
