Paige Carter Season 1—Episode 6 “Okay, I’m just going to ask,” Paige decided. “If your baby was kidnapped, why is your husband at work instead of here reporting the abduction with you?” “Jason doesn’t believe Trevor was abducted,” Amy whispered softly. “The nurse said he died in the hospital. Jason believed her.” Paige frowned. Sean didn’t say his sister had a mental disorder or a learning disability. Was it possible she was suffering from some kind of depression that led to denial? “I think you need to start at the beginning.” Amy took a deep breath. “I know you don’t believe me. I expected that. Nobody believes me. But Trevor did not die. I will never believe that. If he did, why wasn’t I allowed to see the body?” Paige was even more confused. “It was our first,” Amy began. “We were both so excited. Jason was adorable. He took such good care of me the entire time. I went to the doctor, every appointment. Dr. Seaton assured me everything was fine. We all expected a healthy baby boy. When my water broke we rushed to the hospital and thirteen hours later I gave birth to Trevor. But they wouldn’t let me hold him. The nurse said he was having trouble breathing. The next thing I know, she’s back giving me some kind of shot. I was crying, demanding she let me see my baby when I basically blacked out. Jason said the nurse told him it was a sedative. She said I was exhausted from the delivery and it wasn’t safe for me to get so upset. When I woke up, he gave me the bad news. He said Trevor didn’t make it. Again, I demanded to see him. If my baby had died, I needed to see his tiny, lifeless body for myself. The nurse wouldn’t allow it. I was discharged the following day. Jason and I went straight to the mortuary, but we got the same excuses. It was against policy to show a grieving mother her deceased child. He told us we would have to have a closed casket. We had a small, intimate service. The day of the funeral, I tried to open the casket but it was sealed shut somehow. By the time we got back to the mortuary, the caretaker was gone. I insisted Jason take me back the next day, but the casket had already been buried.”
