And before we keep going, I want to flag that what Brooke is about to describe could be emotionally triggering for some listeners.

If you've had experience with pregnancy loss, please take care while listening.

Now back to Brooke.

Here's what she decided to do.

Now that she had seen the proof, the panic came flooding in.

What had he given her and how much of it did she drink?

But she had to stay calm so she could get out and get help.

Brooke planned to get out of Sick's house quietly and drive herself to the hospital.

Before she could, she started bleeding.

Four months into the pregnancy, she knew she needed to get help quickly.

But when Sick found her on the floor of the bathroom, he didn't want to call an ambulance.

She hadn't told him the sex of the baby until this moment.

When she called the baby his son, something shifted for sick.

But the paramedic was too busy triaging Brooke to notice.

All the while, Sick stayed right by her side, acting concerned.

Sick wouldn't leave her.

And he made it known that he was a doctor.

The nurse went into Brooke's bag and grabbed the Ziploc with the pill fragments.

She wanted to send them to the lab for testing.

Sick was in the room too.
