A couple in Phoenix, Arizona, lucked lucky and met each other, leading to a wonderful but unfortunate love story. This genuine tale is from 2015, and it’s vital to tell the public of the hardships that some people suffer while smiling.
Carlos Morales, a Spaniard by birth, visited an Arizona nightclub in 2006. There, he met Erica, a lovely young lady. When he first saw her, he was captivated.
Carlos claims that despite the fact that he didn’t understand English, he approached her and asked for a dance, which she accepted.
While talking to the PEOPLE He said that they had a good time dancing together. When Erica was about to depart, he offered her his phone number, which she promptly threw away.
After a few days, they reconnected through a common friend. This time, the two conversed frequently and got along swimmingly.
“And then we got into a relationship,” Carlos explained.
He claimed he knew she was the ‘one’ the instant he saw her. So he didn’t waste any time proposing to her. And that he was fortunate that she reciprocated his feelings for him and accepted his approach.
He revealed that they were eager to start a family immediately away. As a result, they attempted and excelled. Erica had a baby. He claimed they were overjoyed, but the pregnancy was short-lived and terminated in a miscarriage.
They waited a while before Erica underwent reproductive therapy “because we wanted children,” he explained.
So, in June of last year, she conceived again, and this time the doctor informed them that they would not only be having one or two babies, but FOUR; quadruplets.
They were ecstatic, he added, after receiving the news. He took extra care of his devoted wife, who had load on her mind already. So Carlos took care of all the household tasks and left Maria to relax.
“Her doctor told her she had to just relax. So that’s exactly what she did.”
He said that the physicians kept a tight eye on her during her pregnancy and that she was in wonderful health. He went on to say, “There were no complications.”
However, on January 12, she was hospitalised due to excessive hypertension. The doctors, on the other hand, told them not to be concerned.
Erica called him at work on January 15 to tell him that the doctors wanted to deliver the kids as soon as possible!
“The doctor said she was having too many contractions, so it was time to deliver the babies,” Carlos said.
“We were excited, and we couldn’t wait for the babies to come. So, we took pictures before she went into the delivery room, made some videos, and family and friends surrounded her. I kissed her, and then I said to her, ‘Let’s get these babies out.’”
So, they delivered the babies, and “it was a moment of a lifetime.” He said emotionally.
He claimed she was still sleeping when the babies were born, but that she was well. However, something occurred a few moments later: the machine began to make noise, and the physicians requested him to walk out of the room.
They told him that Erica was no longer alive roughly an hour later. “I froze,” he said.
“How could this have happened?” She was fine, and then she wasn’t. She was alive, and then she was just gone.” He said that moment would haunt him forever.
He admitted that he misses his gorgeous wife every single minute, but that he must remain strong for his four children, three girls and one boy.
Carlos also revealed that they chose the names for their children long before they were born.
“The boy would be called Carlos Jr. the two girls, Tracey and Paisley. But we were yet to decide the fourth name; it was a girl.” Erica said we would decide after the delivery, but we couldn’t.”
“Later, after her tragic passing, the nurse asked me about the fourth name, and I knew by then what to name her. I named her “Erica.” He said while crying.
Finally, he stated that Erica’s mother is assisting him in the care of the children.
“Erica was the most special person in the world, and she should be here to love her babies. I will always miss her.”
