The Surrogate Revenge
I was barely aware of anything as they laid me flat and started wheeling me inside.
The ceiling lights passed above me in rapid flashes, each one making my head spin.
Machines beeped.
Hurried footsteps echoed.
Orders were barked.
Through it all, I still held onto Vivianne’s hand like my life depended on it.
She stayed close, helping me stay grounded amidst the contractions.
Adrian was right beside us, moving quickly, his face tight with tension.
Then… Her hand slipped from mine.
I blinked.. dazed, trying to hold on but she was already stepping back.
