Hallie awoke in the middle of the night, feeling a pain in her abdomen and something warm and wet in the bed. Carefully removing the blankets from her so as not to wake John, she noticed a dark patch of blood in the bed. Without thinking, she let out a loud shriek.

*John sat up and rolled out of the bed to his feet in one continuous motion.*
"Hallie? Is there something wrong?"
*Seeing the blood on the sheets, his face paled and he looked at Hallie with distress.*
"What happened? Are you alright?"

Hallie shook as she stared at the spot. "I-I don't know." She considered it a moment. It had come from a...certain area, and it was too much blood just to be her monthlies. She had a sudden revolation, and when she walked closer to the spot and examined it, she noticed a little jelly bean-sized blob. She stiffened. "I think I just had a miscarriage," she said numbly.

*John looked from her to the blood on the bed, dumbstruck.*
"I... Oh god... Hallie..."
*He didn't know what to say or do. The sight of Hallie so melancholy hurt, and that he couldn't help made it so much worse.*

She smiled sadly, still shaking. "It's fine," she said, touching his arm. "It's not like it's your fault or anything." She wondered to herself whether she would have been excited or upset about the baby. After all, she had always wanted children, but with her husband.

*John put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead gently.*
"I'm so sorry, my love."

She leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling suddenly very faint. "I need to sit down," she muttered, stumbling over to a chair.

*John rushed to her side, extremely alarmed.*
"Hallie, you need to go to the infirmary," *he said with concern*

"No, I'm fine, really," she argued unconvincingly. Mostly she was fearing snark from Dr. House.

"No, Hallie. I could never forgive myself if anything were to happen to you," *he said putting on his coat and handing her a dressing gown."
"I have to insist."
