LOGINThe doctor went over her chart again and again, but she couldn't talk because she was afraid; she wanted to go home, she was afraid not to go home.

Ava blinked.
“Ava, don't close your eyes, stay with us,” the nurse said urgently, leaning over him, her voice steady with concern as she watched Ava trying her best to get through another wave of pain that seemed stronger than any before.“So tired,” Ava whispered, her voice barely audible, and her body shaking from fatigue.The doctor, standing at the foot of the bed, replied quickly, "I know. “But we are nearly there, you must go on.”Ava shook her head feebly, tears running down her cheeks.“I don't think I can…,” she said.
The nurse stood by the bed, patiently and firmly urging Ava to breathe deeply and slowly. The nurse monitored Ava's breathing, urging her to take slow and deep breaths as another surge of pain rolled through her body.“Can't, it hurts too much,” Ava cried, tears running down her face, shaking her head.The doctor tried to console her, saying, “You're doing well.” “Try to concentrate only on breathing.”Ava wanted to hear, but the pain came and went in waves, leaving her with little relief.“Marcus…?” she whispered weakly.
“Marcus… it hurts…,” Ava cried out, her voice shaking as another powerful contraction hit her, her fingers clenching his arm as if it would make it worse if she let go.“Yeah, yeah,” Marcus said quickly, keeping his cool as much as possible, although his panic was growing. Let's now go to the hospital.He did not hesitate a moment longer; then, carefully, he helped her to a seated position before putting his arm around her as they headed towards the door, her feet faltering and moving slowly as the pain continued to come in waves.Ava gasped, “I can’t walk fast.”Marcus

The nurse was urgent, her voice cold yet hard, for the baby's heart rate was dropping, and in no time at all, more medical personnel flooded into the room, and Ava was clinging to Marcus's thumb so tightly, she was frozen stiff on the bed.“No… what's going on… please?” Ava's voice trembled as she cried.“Don't panic,” one doctor sternly said as he approached her. “You have to remain still.”“Oh no, I can't lose this baby, Ava whispered, tears making their way into her eyes. “Please… do something.”“Yes,” replied the doctor, quickly, &ldqu
Marcus ran into the hospital room and his breath came out a little unevenly as his eyes fell instantly on Ava, pale and quiet, and machines beeping softly over her, and he stood there a moment, as though he were too scared to move any nearer. Ava said soothingly.“Ava…” he called softly.Ava looked slowly around as she heard his voice, and when his face looked up toward her, even the weariness in her face seemed to soften.“You came,” she said, and I sighed.Marcus drew near, without hesitation.“Naturally, I came

The ride to the home of Marcus was silent. Too quiet. Ava sat in a passenger seat with clasped hands over her stomach and looked through the window as the city lights went by. Marcus maintained a focus on the road, closed his mouth and his mind was not in the moment. Nobody said anything and the sil
Ava entered the house and shut the door as gently as possible. The silence still seemed too loud in the sound. Her feet were tired of the heavy shoes she had, and her body was sore not only because it was a long day but also because of all that had taken place. The bridal gown had been taken, the c
Ava couldn’t sleep that night.Whenever she shut her eyes, she continued to see the ugly face of her mom. Marriage was a sound that was still ringing in her ears, as if it were, a judge delivering a verdict.
