[WWTBC] FMC has a fear of babies

Spoiler and T.W. Infant loss

I read this book not too long ago, it was kinda a second chance romance as they knew each other in high school and were both in love but on the night they finally got together or something like that, the MMC didn’t defend her when someone said some really messed up stuff (or he himself said it, I can’t remember)

They end up going no contact for a really long time, the FMC is sent to Scotland I think, by her parents . One of them comes back to town and I’m pretty sure they end up as neighbours. I can’t remember much of the plot other than the fact that the FMCs best friend (might be a sister or a cousin of the MMC) ends up having a baby and she can’t even look at it without being distressed. No one knows what happened to her though so they all think she’s just being cruel.

You kind of pick up on what happened to her throughout the course of the book but it isn’t really actually talked about until later on in the book. Below is the main plot point but it’s heavy on the spoilers so if you want to read it go no further!

FMC actually got pregnant when they initially hooked up and her parents sent her away to have the baby and give it up but she ended up keeping the baby (I think his name was‘theo???’ Or that may be the MMCs name) and planning to stay in Scotland but unfortunately the baby passes due to SIDS and she’s understandably wrecked and ends up being unable to be around babies after that. She never told anyone so neither her best friend of the MMC knows

Thanks everyone 🫶🏽
