63.

"Mr. Anoa'i." A doctor approached me, "It seems like Ms. Levine attempted to overdose on some painkillers."

My heart dropped.

"She tried to kill herself?"

He nodded, "Unfortunately, yes; and all we can do from here is recommend some intense therapy to her. We understand that she recently suffered a miscarriage and it seems like she's diagnosed with severe depression as the event was traumatic. I advise you to watch over her until she's not having anymore suicidal thoughts or tendencies."

"Alright, I can do that."

I looked down at the ground and ran my fingers through my hair.

"And one more thing, Mr. Anoa'i."

"Yeah?"

"Once she wakes back up, we need to evaluate her mental status and we're going to prescribe her some antidepressants."

"I understand. Thank you for saving her life."

"Don't thank me. It's a miracle you brought her in as fast as you did. She was only a few minutes away from her heart stopping."

After the doctor walked away, I took a seat in the nearest chair and started sobbing. I was also upset about our baby not making it, but to know that my fiancรฉe was on the verge of taking her own life frightened me.

A few hours later, I sat down at Chloe's bedside as her eyes began to open and she looked over at me.

"I don't want to be here anymore, Joe."

"Baby, please don't say that." I replied, "I know this isn't what we had planned but we can still be happy together."

"I know, but our baby..."

"Listen, I know this is harder on you than it is for me; but suicide isn't the answer baby. I'm your soon-to-be husband and if you need to talk things out, I'm always willing to hear you out. I know what happened was traumatic to you, but I can't lose you too." My eyes began to well-up with tears, "Chloe. I love you so much and seeing you laying on the floor with painkillers scattered all over the floor had me terrified that I was going to lose you."

Her head dropped, "I was just hurting on the inside because our baby died and all I ever wanted was to have a happy little family." She paused, "Ever since I was just a little girl, I didn't have long with my parents. All I could remember was going to the Toronto beach with them, spending some time together at arcades or going to hockey games with them and before I knew it, my grandmother told me that they were gone because someone drove them off the side of the road and took their lives."

I listened to her the entire time as she opened up to me about her past. It killed me on the inside to hear that Chloe lost her parents as a child and after going through the miscarriage, I could tell it made her spiral into a deep depression and I was willing to do anything it took to help her through this.

"And the reason I was so excited to have a baby was because I wanted to give them the life that was also stripped from me at an early age. I'd give anything to have them back, Joe. Our baby and my parents." She sobs, "Why did this happen to us?"

I lowered my head, "Baby. I don't know why this happened and I know this is too soon, but whenever things are right in our lives, we can try for another baby. I know it wouldn't be the same, but there's still an opportunity for us to start a family together."

She shied away, "I'll think about it. I don't know how to feel right now."

I nodded, "I understand baby. We're gonna get through this together, alright?"

"Okay."

"And one more thing, but the doctor advised me to be on a suicide watch for you and he's going to prescribe you some antidepressants. I hope that we can work through this and we can even go to therapy together."

"I'd love that, Joe."

"Good. I can't have you taking your life baby. There's so much to live for; and you haven't even experienced the amazing parts about life, yet."

"What do you mean?"

"For starters, I wanted to take you to the Bahamas and Bora Bora when things are better on our end. We can see the sights, take in the moments together and have a beautiful life."

"You'd really do that for me?"

I flashed a smile, "Of course I would! You're my girl and you deserve nothing but the best in life."

For the first time in awhile, I watched Chloe smile and that brought me immediate happiness.

"There's that smile. You're doing great, baby."ย 

"I couldn't have done this without you."

"And I'll always be here to support you through the ups and downs." I grinned, "That's what husbands are for."

The doctor walked back into the room and seen Chloe smiling for the first time in awhile.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Levine! I'm so glad to see you smiling. I was going to check your mental status, but it seems that Mr. Anoa'i knows how to make you feel better. However, I'm still prescribing you some antidepressants and are we still suggesting some therapy, Mr. Anoa'i?" The doctor asked, looking at me.

I nodded, "Yes sir. Anything it takes to make her feel better, I'm all for it."

"Alright, I'm going to recommend you two to a therapist named Dr. Greene down the road from here."

"Thank you so much for saving her life. How much do I owe you?" I asked, pulling out my wallet.

"Honestly, it normally costs a few hundred dollars due to the equipment that we used, but this one's on the house because my son loves watching you on the television."

I shook my head, "Nah. Take three-hundred anyways. You saved my wife and that's all that matters. And for your son, I'll give him an autograph. Let him know that I appreciate him for being a fan."

"I will, but if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give us a call."

"Will do."

After we were discharged from the hospital, I noticed Chloe looking down again.

"What's wrong?"

"Still thinking about the miscarriage. I know it's gonna hurt for awhile, but..."

I brought her hand in mine.

"We're still going to try for another baby when the time is right, and we don't have to worry anymore about those two; so this time it would be a stress-free pregnancy on you, baby."

"I'm excited, but do you think we should start preparing for our wedding while you have time off from the ring?"

I smiled, "I'd love that. What would you want the theme to be? It can be anything you'd want."

Then I paused.

"But, I also want this to be your dream wedding. Have you ever dreamt of the perfect wedding when you were a kid?"

"I have, actually. I used to talk about it with my grandmother and then with Emma."

"And what would that dream wedding be?"

"A beach wedding. In front of the ocean when it's calm and during a sunset when it's the most beautiful."

"We can do that. If I recall, you've told me before that you always wanted a beach wedding. I'd love to make your dreams come true; and when it comes to your career, would you still want to model for Victoria's Secret until we start trying for another baby?" I asked.

"Of course!"

I reeled her into my embrace and I was thankful to see that smile on her face once again. Although she was about to start taking some antidepressants and attending therapy sessions with me, I'm blessed that she's still alive and feeling better.

We were gonna get through this tough obstacle together.
