A Surprise Arrival - Part 12

Tuesday

Anna, after Rosemary helped her get ready was ready to temporarily leave the hospital for Aaron's funeral.  She never thought that the joy of knowing that she and Hou Yi would have twins, now was replaced by the knowledge that today she was burying one of them.

When she had dealt with a couple of family law cases in Australia where her clients said burying a child was the hardest thing that they had ever done, she thought they were lying.  They were right.  Just the thought of Aaron, who she had carried and given birth to, who for whatever reason was taken from them the day after his birth lying there in a coffin ready for this service felt crushing.
