I really didn’t mean to wish away my daughter like that” I whispered, full of remorse.
“It’s ok, Chris and I have been talking about it all again, having one last try for a baby before it’s too late” Sarah said, her voice shaking with emotion.
“And”
“I told him no as it costs too much and I don’t have any job certainty at the moment with the possibility of huge library cuts and the armed forces are making cuts too mostly to those in command” she stammered. Tears still streamed down her cheeks as she remembered their previous attempts at fertility treatment. All the hopes and promises the doctors gave them as they parted with the money, dashed like waves onto the rocks in a violent storm when nothing happened.
Reaching for her hand I held it in mine and gently squeezed it, trying to let her know that I was behind her, well behind them both in whatever decision they chose.
“I think Chris truly believed that we should try again and we had a massive argument this morning, that’s why he’s out playing golf”
“Chris will be ok, he just needs time to cool down and think about it. You know he’ll be back later with flowers and chocolates for you” I said, smiling at all their previous arguments over the years.
“I know he will, I just feel useless as a woman. Having a child should be the easiest thing in the world but I just can’t seem to do it” Sarah mumbled, as I passed her another tissue.
“Well if I can help at all please just let me know” I assured.
Sarah nodded as she wiped up the last of her tears and headed out to swill her face.
Pulling my phone from my bag I checked and spotted a message from James waiting for me and also that the time was creeping on. Finishing my glass of wine I waited for Sarah to return and then stood up.
“Are you ok now” I asked. Sarah nodded and gave me a weak smile.
“I’d better head off as Charlie will be wondering where I am and I promised to pick up pizza’s on my way home” I said.
“No problem, give my lovely god-daughter a hug from me”
“Don’t forget you know where I am” I said
A bigger smile now covered Sarah’s face as I waved from the car and headed home.
Chapter 15
As the doorbell rang, Charlie leapt off the chair and rushed to let her friend in.
“Hey stranger” Julia said, spotting the huge grin on her friends face. She knew there must be some seriously good news that was trying to escape already.
“Come in, Mum’s at work so we have the house to ourselves”
Julia nodded and they headed through the kitchen, grabbing drinks on the way.
“So spill the beans then” Julia said, jumping onto the sofa while Charlie sat in the chair.
“Mitch and I are going to be appearing in a music video” Charlie said, her voice moved up in pitch. Inside she could feel the butterflies of excitement waking up under her ribs.
“How, who, why, where” Julia asked, absolutely stunned by this news.
“Well, you know when I was staying with Mitch last week; well we went to an audition together i n Birmingham. Then we had to go back in and dance again for them and they told us they wanted us” Charlie stopped to breathe and looked across at her friends shocked face.
“You guys must be the luckiest people I know” Julia said “First Arlene Phillips talks to you and now you get to dance…..”
“And get paid for it” Charlie interrupted “Not sure how much yet”
“Who is it” Julia asked, with curiosity.
“Ne-Yo” Charlie said, hugging herself and remembering how Mitch had pinned her against the wall on their way back from the pub.
“Fucking hell, that’s fantastic, when do you start filming?”
“Well Mitch has got to send the paperwork back and then they will contact us with a date for the studio which is fantastic” Charlie said, almost jumping up and down in the chair with excitement.
“This could be the start of something wonderful” Charlie sighed.
“Dancing or Mitchell”
