Veronica Sinclair starred out of her apartment window. She had always admired the view of the Charleston Battery, in fact that was one of the main reasons she chose this apartment. Sipping her coffee, she started thinking of her family. She had been so busy lately, that she hadn't even seen them.
Veronica was the daughter of Phillip and Carrie Sinclair. She had grown up in Charleston, South Carolina, and relished in her state's history. Her family had always been close knit, just as most of the families of the South. Her father, Phillip, was a senator for the state, and her mother, Carrie was a lawyer. Veronica had a brother, which everyone called Trey.
Phillip Xavior Sinclair III was Veronica's best friend in all the world. They had been in the public eye for almost their entire life, and sharing that expirence brought them close. Trey was a lawyer just as their mother was, and he practiced in a small firm in the bisness district of Charleston. Trey was married to his high school sweetheart, and all seemed to go very well for him.
Veronica was happy with her life at the moment. She was a clinical psychologist, and worked at Tall Pines General Hospitial. She delt mostly with children and teens, but she could handle anything she had to face. Her boyfriend was a doctor at the hospital, and was rumored to be the best cardiologist in the state. Veronica still stood infront of the window when she stopped day dreaming.
After grabbing a quick shower, Veronica ran out the door and headed to work. She enjoyed her work. She felt accomplished when she helped someone overcome a disorder or tendency. The twenty min. comute to work didn't give her much time to think, but she just relaxed and listened to the radio. Just as she popped her Temptations CD in her cell phone rang. She answered it in her formal voice, "Veronica Sinclair." The voice on the other end of the line began laughing and replied,"Little sister, why do you sound so strict the morning?" Relaxing a little bit, she realized it was Trey and felt realived to here from him. "Sorry Bubba, I thought it was the hospital calling. So, how is everything on the other side of town?" Trey became silent, but finally responded,"Everything is okay, but it could be a lot better. Emily went to the doctor Monday and found out she was pregnant. Then she started to get cramps really bad, so I took her to the emergency room last night. V, she miscarried." All she could do was start crying.
Trey and Emily had been married for five years, and Emily had miscarried every pregnancy she had. Through the long line of miscarriages she had lasped in and out of deep depressions. Veronica was overwelemed with the news she just recieved, but slowly started to reply to Trey. "Aww Bubba, I am so sorry. How is Emily taking it? What did the doctors say?" Trey said that she was fine, and the doctors just could not explain what had happened. Veronica inched her way into the hospital parking lot, and ended her conversation with Trey.
