Summary
February 5th, 2002
“What do you mean she’s gone?” Johnny glances away frothe awkwardly shifting nurse, over to the empty hospital bed. The sheets are rumpled, one of the tabloids Shannon loves to hate lying open on the pillow. Her favorite mug, the tag of the tea she’s started drinking against the morning sickness hanging over the rim, is sitting on the bedside table. “To the bathroom? The cafeteria?” “Mr Lawrence,” Shannon’s doctor speaks up, and the pity in his voice that he doesn’t quite manage to hide makes something heavy settle in Johnny’s stomach, “your girlfriend left the hospital earlier this morning—”Johnny’s shaking his head. “No, she—she gave birth a day ago? She—”“Ms Keene discharged herself, against medical advice, about an hour ago.”In his crib, Robby starts crying.
[Or; What if Johnny had been forced to step up?]
