Chapter 11 - Sarah Recovers At The Local Emergency Room Ward
The sterile white lights of Metro General’s maternity ward hummed softly as the heart monitor beeped in a steady rhythm.
Sarah lay propped up against several hospital pillows, an IV drip taped securely to the back of her bruised hand.
Dr. Reynolds, a senior obstetrician, smiled warmly as she clicked her medical chart shut at the foot of the bed.
“The ultrasound shows that the baby is completely safe and unaffected by the fall, Sarah,” the doctor announced cheerfully.
A massive wave of relief washed over Sarah’s face, and she let out a long, shaky breath she didn't know she was holding.
“Thank God... are you absolutely sure, Doctor?” Sarah asked, her voice cracking with pure emotional exhaustion.
“Positive. Little one has a strong heartbeat and is resting comfortably right now,” Dr. Reynolds assured her with a nod.
Lucas sat in the vinyl armchair beside the bed, standing up to gently kiss Sarah’s forehead in celebration.
“I told you everything was going to be alright, Sarah. You and the baby are fighters,” Lucas whispered softly.

“I don't know what would have happened if you and Max hadn't rushed into the hallway,” Sarah admitted tearfully.
